I think the records are kept forever, but in 26 years will be so far back they are crumbly or misplaced. I have heard of records being lost so the CO has nothing to ask about. Why disassociate now? Open old wounds?

Church after school dances, charity work. All partly done to attract members.
Local KH has chains on the parking lot. Local church is a vaccination and food distribution lot. The bishops storehouse sent food away with the pioneers who called there😃

Christopher Hitchen's is a better prophet than the Governing Body
by Diogenesister inchris hitchen's (may he rest in peace) may be a better jehovah's witness prophet than the present governing body, who never got anything right!
they also only decided putin's russia was king of the north after the persecution, too.
he correctly predicted the threat by putin's russia and his use of the russian orthodox church as another means of oppression.

The KON is a never ending story.
The GB claims to not be prophets, just spirit directed and always right, (even when wrong)

Do any of you ex JW`s ever feel ashamed or embarrassed to admit you were once a JW? To your now friends / associates ?
by smiddy3 ini ask this now because i have been living in this town for the past 14 years and the circle of friends i have now i have never let on i am an ex jw.. i`m talking about 30-50 people at least.. not that the subject has ever really come up , but i think they would be shocked / amazed that i was a ( i hate this word ) a "devout" jw for 32 years going around knocking on peoples doors trying to convert them to the religion .. yet every now and again i get tempted to.. how say you ?.

Was reluctant even when fully in. I guess there was always a nagging doubt about pushing the "wonderful god" schtick.
Mom let us trick or treat, birthday parties (others), no xmas. Thanksgiving was a family reunion. Dad was not part of the good ol boys club and kept quiet.
In the 50s and 60s thing were more lax. At least we played with worldly kids, watched fireworks on 4th. Solo dating was allowed and we did get into heavy petting with no consequences. (Dont tell)
My best friends mother took me under her wing and gave me my first legal beer, introduced me to family xmas traditions like decorating the tree.
WT was right about the flag, military and some things but not by righteousness but rather just for the controversy. They misused the "my country right or wrong" as being in lock step instead of realizing we have a common allegiance to our home.

So let's discuss the framework of gods plan for a paradise earth
by nowwhat? inso after jehovah kills 8 billion people "for not knowing him'" he is going to resurrect 100 billion humans because " they didn't know him" .
the 8 million jw's will be tasked with educating these ones.
that's 1 jw for every 12k resurrected ones.

Supposedly the 8 billion didnt listen, tge 100b never had the message.
All the infrastructure will be preserved and run on leftover lithium batteries.
Meanwhile, the 8b will grow to 9b while we wait. I always wanted to be a grave digger

My area is not included so far. When it does I will hide behind old age if I can. It may come down to the " parts" I am assigned, just like it is only then that I don a tie for zoom
Excluding unvaxxed, newbies, children will put a hitch in recruitment

We are nagged into reporting. When I missed, the secretary filled in the blanks. As for counting time, is time spent on this forum counted as return visits?
One thing, mormons have jobs and educations. Even my family has been given a bit of their charity by happenstance, so the Bishops storehouse is an actual functioning thing.

Alec Baldwin Shot a Woman Dead
by Simon inso alec baldwin shot a woman dead on set and seriously injured another man.. what do we put this down as?
a tragic accident?
maybe ... except that implies no one was to blame.. the more you find out, the more it seems that this was due to negligence and lack of attention to safety.

From what I glean, live ammo is forbidden. Various blanks are easily recognized by the crimp ( but no mention of any markings on the head), realistic looking dummies have a bb in place of the powder so you can hear the rattle.
As for cannons, in Canada probably the military is the only allowed. In the US you can have one that will shoot solid projectiles, but not explosive shells.
Maybe the correct assessment is an amusement park. We trust that the rides are inspected instead of looking ourselves
