  anything you remember that went in org that you feel embarrassed now?

  i remember back in the 80s how seems like every magazine was about bashing other group's.

  how holy and faithful watchtower was compared to catholic church.

  Those god awful magazine covers. Fireballs, dead children, rioters. They still depict the heavy as the one with the goatee and ,( gasp) a headband.

  A couple came complete with masks. Had a nice visit. You have to realize my wife is pimi and needs some contact. Maybe I should have cslled a visit as it wasnt really a sheparding call. My dismay is it took 2 years or more to do.

  Another in a long line of television evangelists, descended from the tent meeting circuit. I havent watched any more than commercials, but even WT wasnt selling overpriced books

  I am sure his haircut costs more than mine. Not to mention the smile.

  BREAKING. European Court rules for Jehovah's Witnesses in long-awaited "extremism" case

  by Corney in

  1. watchtower

  in 6-1 judgment, the ecthr found that the forced dissolution of jehovah’s witnesses religious organisations in russia, the banning of their religious literature and international website on charges of extremism, the revocation of the permit to distribute religious magazines, the criminal prosecution of individual jehovah’s witnesses, and the confiscation of their property unlawfully interfered with their human rights.

  the only dissenting judge is apparently mikhail lobov, who was nominated by the russian government.. .

  so my in-laws actually went out to dinner with us today.

  normally, since leaving in 2016, they wouldn’t eat with us or talk much to me.

  (since i did convince their daughter to leave the cult).

  The contact information is for emergencies. The local elders will be able to check on the welfare of anyone who had to evacuate. Theoretically just like any other aid organization.

  They finally realize all our extended families are not JW, and may well be in a better position to takec us in.

  At Katrina they did not know where a lot of people disappeared to. I also suspect some of that diaspora used it to leave da troof
