  Questions about WT illustrations

  by Beck_Melbourne in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was a kid....i used to look at the wt illustrations of paradise conditions and would day dream about life in the new system....i later used this same technique (shame on me) to brain wash bible students.

  however...as i grew up lol (apparently!

  ) the illustrations changed....and became more modern.

  in del rio texas, the border patrol can't hold back the invasion of illegal migrants anymore.

  they have asked the biden administration for help, but they refused.

  harris has promised to give all illegal migrants citizenship if she is becomes president.

  Are you glad you got the Covid Vaccine? Did it help?

  i didn’t get the covid vaccine, but i admit, i was scared as shit i made the wrong decision because there was so much confusion out there.

  practically all my family and most of my friends took the vaccine because everyone was depending on those in charge to speak the truth.

  now a lot of them are sick, and they can't figure out why.

  I am sorry-high shot still causing shoulder pain. Never tested positive yet when I got the sniffles.

  masks are a joke. Worn wrong and the cigarette smoke test fails them all. Masks caused controversy in 1919 too

  I know one who died in 3 days from sudden pneumonia stuff before C19 was in the news. One work associate and one 80 yo at the hall who did the 3 days and gone-no idea of underlying conditions. A few cases of "long covid" whatever that is.

  A lot of the sheeple claim repeated covid and they all took the shots.!! It almost seems to follow political belief. Psychosomatic? Mpox is due in time for cthe elections.

  West coast smoke is degrading our air quality and apparently Simon is responsible for the Canadian smoke (gotta blame someone)

  Can we get ebola (sensational symptoms) or widespread pneumonuc plague? The government is not thinking far enough out of the box.

  Would you be able to survive a three day Assembly?

  the last assembly i attended was over 10 years ago.

  the monotone speakers, boring talks, uncomfortable seats, long prayers and nodding off after the lunch break did me in.

  i survived the morning sessions, but the afternoon sessions were brutal.

  Stick a watchtower on the back window and watch for fellow travelers. New book on return trip. They sold bumper stickers too.

  Did your witness family have a 'Thanksgiving' that wasn't on Thanksgiving?

  by SydBarrett in

  2. friends

  my family had several elders, ministerial servants, auxillary pioneers etc, so it certainly wasn't one of those 'barely in' families.

  but in certain small ways, i think mine were slightly less hard line than some other families i've heard stories about over the years.

  one example was the 'fall dinner'.

  I forgot. Thursday night meeting. Lots of extra sleepy attendees smelling of rum--surely just a coincidence.

  Every country has it's autumn celebration. Does the southern hemisphere have a harvest time festival in April or may?

  Aah the old turkeys on sale story. True, and a day everyone had off excuse.

  It is a US national holiday linked to harvest festivals. I always wondered how householders felt about a call in tge midst of preparation.

  Did the 8 and 5 day. Everyone needs a nap. If you could get a hall attendant job it was better. Wife used to jab me awake for count times if I had a section. On a few occasions something would happen where I could actually be of aid.

  Pre marriage I watched for a girlfriend. It worked ONCE. after marriage some grump yelled at me for being a playboy--14 yo friends daughter and my young looking wife.

  The first Lett video I watched the audience and nobody else seemed to notice the clown show.

  Get a program and we can make the talks. If you knew the interviewees you could spot bare faced lies--assuming the same holds true when we do not know them.

  if you do a search on the wt website and type in "oral sex", you will get 69 results.

  why does the wt.

  Missionary only?

  Years ago there were lots of divorces over "husband turned homo" within a few weeks of honeymoon. I wonder if they were connecting vigorous foreplay with the "unnatural" practices in the bible.

  We voyeurs would like details on 69(thanks vidiot) and abhorrent.

  Was the ever blessed David an explorer or a wham bam guy? I'm jealous.

  Olympic games/ jw.org keep on the watch

  by Gorb in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the main article on jw.org is about the succesfull olympic games 2024 in paris.. many withness watch all the sport episodes of the games, but jw.org comes with a sour story about the games and not reaching real peace.. again jw.org is on the wrong side of history a d doesn't feel the public anx jw opinion.

  the closing remarks of the ioc president bach, thaf the games will not reach peace but plant peace in the hart of people was a strong message.. the organization and message of the games is all that jw.org wants to, but can't.. very sad and narrow minded, as ever.

  gorby.

  Day late and dollar short. Anything about the Olympics should be before the event.
