  hi all, i can just see the damage limitation that the org will have to do, and they will school the drones with some answers to give householders who challenge them about the scandal of child abuse .

  .what do you think the jdubs will be told to say ?

  " didnt see it; True ( capitol t) christians have always had enemies"

  Anyway we were told that everything is handled properly.

  Elder, his wife, and, another sister sat here yesterday commenting on how the police are always called, no involvement of the WT lawyer team. Good old Bill sat there mum, he has the inside scoop.

  BTW. He is the one to turn to if SHTF but I am far more capable than he.

  Have You Ever Been Scammed?

  by minimus in

  of course we all were scammed while we were jehovah’s witnesses.

  i’m thinking of ways besides religion.. a popular scam is to get a call from your electric company saying they overbilled you and needed to verify your name, address and social security number.

  then they will send you your money back.

  I am a skeptical sort so mostly no. Used cars are a grey area.

  I do have a chance right now to get a M1 carbine that will shoot 1 inch at several thousand yards. For you non gun people the .30 carbine has an affective effective range of 300 yards and max at something like 2500 but you couldnt hit a barn on purpose

  Kh's will be gone in 5 years! Here's how it will work

  besides the media center they are going to build in n.y. it's been noted they are also building one and a studio in australia.

  there is no way donations can cover these massive projects.

  so the money will have to come from the sale of the remaining halls.

  There are already most of the pimi following the broadcasts like housewives following soap operas. As a practical matter there is already a one elder per arrangement with the service groups. I notice the neighbors moving their cars to the street on meeting days for service. A cop could write tickets for double parking, blocking driveways, and parking on sidewalks if he came by. Despite zoning there is a public nuisance angle that could be enforced.

  There was a slight push last meetings to actually use tracts ( printed material) instead of just conversing. And specially pointed comments by " leaders" that since WT said we are in last minutes it is URGENT. seems people are getting tired

  Why do TV networks keep "bleeping" out Trumps comments and statement?

  by RubaDub in

  i don't understand it.

  we have a president who is typically considered a model for what young people want to be when they grow up.

  yet, when trump talks, the tv networks keep bleeping out so many of his words, even on fox news.. why?

  Lack of respect for life was the story. Same line as parachuting, race driving, bungee jumping, rock climbing

  Going dtd or standing at a cart in a blizzard is not life threatening though

  the Watchtower guide to sex.

  by stan livedeath in

  1. social
  2. humour

  it occurs to me the gb probably dont have much experience when it comes (!

  ) to marital sex guidance, so i think its only fair and reasonable we should put together a few hints to help them publish a suitable guide.. it is well known a lot of jw's get married in order to have sex, and all to frequently the marriages fail, possibly due to sexual problems, so the watchtower guide to sex should prove to be very worthwhile.. any jw courting couple intending to get married should be allowed to have a copy of the guide, and should only be available by a special order through the body of elders.. copies are not available to any single bros and sisters.. all and any advice in it must adhere to bible principles, and certainly no salty language or smut will be allowed.. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.

  so--to get this started--and in no particular order--here is my first suggestion:.

  There are rumors from days gone about sisters divorcing over husband going homo. I wonder if it was over " deviant" practices? I remember the lifting of the ban.

  We did have a sunday talk about it all by a younger brother with a stunning wife. I always wondered if they did research
