  Since you are not disfellowshipped it should not matter. But it depends on the charisma in the family too

  Afghanistan-Kabul falls to Taliban - U.S. Embassy staff evacuated by helicopter

  by fulltimestudent in

  2. friends

  in a scene reminiscent of the fall of saigon, the usa embassy staff have been evacuated by helicopter.. for a third time in asia ( a fourth, if you count usa supported chiang kai shek's defeat in mainland china) usa supported forces have been defeated.

  more than 1 trillion dollars wasted and a huge deathtoll (both sides) afghanistan is back to where it started,.

  will the taliban behave differently this time ?

  Did they find .577-450 cartridges? The telling part is the mention of tribal wars.

  i remember that i once saw a wt book (or maybe a booklet) which in depicting one or two of the creative days of genesis had illustrations depicting now extinct prehistoric animals.

  i think the illustrations were of a 1950s or 1960s style.. update: i found it.

  You just do not understand. All the illustrations be it dinosaurs or door to door are taken from photos. Noah used glass plates, David had a brownie, John a polaroid. Russel used digital

  i escaped the cult many years ago.

  as a result, i have an eye for cultlike thinking, whether in terms of religion, politics, centrist thinking, etc.. last december my fiance and i had a baby.

  she is black and i'm white.

  I mistrust any philosophy be it spiritual or otherwise that has to be prefaced with a race or nationality.

  I base my opinions on what I see. Who is a decent neighbor? Charity? Strange garb? Isolationism?

  Guess who is found lacking? I just traded comments with a woman I knew from K to high school. I didnt know she was mormon until high school. All i knew was that family had several pretty girls

  As for charity, the dems are tops, with someone elses money

  Is the door to door preaching work not the primary focus anymore?

  by pistolpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a few months back, one of my uncles who was an elder, asked the co, why jehovah would allow the door to door preaching work, to come to an abrupt end.

  this was when my uncle was starting to have serious doubts about the organization.. the co told him to be patient, and hang in there, because the governing body was on top of things and in time would explain what is happening regarding the preaching work.. my uncle asked; “what do you mean?”.

  co said; “focus on the wt study articles in the coming months” .

  Not a trumpet, kazoo.

  We could have told them years the dtd was fruitless. And they chose the most inopportune time to go, Sat morning.

  How on earth can WT lawyers continue to believe WT has God’s backing, when they see all the deception play out in Court.

  by pistolpete in

  2. beliefs

  here is a post on reddit from mark and kimmy o’ donnell, from the crusaders documentary,.

  ask us anything.. mr. o'donnell gives his assessment of why wt lawyers continue to defend the child sex abuse cases that the organization continues to fight, even though they see firsthand the deception, the lies, the withholding of facts and dirty tactics used in court.

  by an organization that claims to be god's earthly representative, and the only one to hold the truth.

  Hard spot. Giving talks on a lie would be the hardest. I simply was a no show for the old #5 when it was about 1914 right after the new light.

  I am a nobody and am not even asked to help with snow shoveling or chsnge a flat for a widow. Things I could do as a humanitarian.
