  Did You Think The Majority of Elders Were “Qualified “?

  by minimus in

  in my opinion, in a body of elders let’s say with 7 elders , 2 or 3 were pretty much on the ball.

  they were reasonable, intelligent and moderate.

  the others were either extremely extreme about everything or very liberal.. did you have qualified older men or were they all lousy to you?

  Shadowclone:

  Exactly. We have seen up and coming bright stars made elders at 24 with no humility or experience. It is related to nepotism

  That comment about lieutenants hits home. Any old military guys here? Look up 90 day wonder. A long gone friend said it was officers, noncoms, and grunts

  Confidential Letter from the Watchtower to all full time servants.

  by pistolpete in

  this is a confidential letter for all full time servants like cos, regular pioneers, bethel and branch workers so please don't tell anyone about this.. reminder 20,000 jws have died of covid and 99% of those who died or were hospitalized in the united states branch territory were not vaccinated, so whose fault is that???.

  my question, how did they get the information that all these 20,000 jws were not vaccinated?.

  hint; if you want to continue to share in spiritual privileges--------------------get vaccinated.

  I think the confidential letter was read to us 2 weeks ago. Complete with a stern warningto obey. Then last week they had to walk it back because we do not have bethelites.

  Virtually all now seem to be rigid company men. And like the title and power. A few of the old ones were human but around here they have all died.

  If the unvaccinated cannot go dorr to door, meetings, conventions I will have to burn my vaccine card. I knew there was a downside to the jab.

  BTW here they clarified the info as some pimi were saying everyone has to stay home under the bed

  will we close down again?

  will we be masked forever?

  will we be required to get vaccinated over and over again?

  Prince Andrew, the Walls are Closing In

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  one thing i've learnt over the years is to read between the lines.. that means reading statements carefully.. if you have never met someone, would you say "i have never met them" or would you say "i don't remember ever meeting them"?.

  the latter is just a get-out out in case evidence is presented that you did in fact meet them, because there is a photo of you with your arm around them in the upstairs of a pedo's friends, girlfriends house, which you also claim you never went to.. what will happen if the us jails a uk royal?

  who knows.. before then i just hope he does another of those "utterly convincing" bizarre interviews to "prove" how he couldn't have done it because he is incapable of sweating (cut to photo of sweating andrew).

  We will always wonder what is buried in concrete on that island.

  Wine, women, and song have always been the province of the well connected. I do differentiate a 17 yo and a pubescent child. And as an honest assessment of the male psyche I wonder what I would do given opportunity with a apparently willing girl. That ignores marriage vows, conscience from upbringing; and that most of us do not go looking for opportunities

  On the current migrant crisis

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. current

  thousands of migrants have come to england this year, already beating last year's total.. some may have fled syria and other war-torn countries; others are economic migrants.. let me try to get my head around this phenomenon: migrants are relatively safe in france and other countries.

  they then leave the relative safety of continental europe and risk their lives and that of their children by crossing the english channel in rubber dinghies.

  there's just no fixing stupid, is there .

  If it is immigrants being absorbed how did London end up with a Muslim mayor and a huge Muslim population.

  Where (USA) I live there is a huge Hispanic community to the point where documents are in Spanish and I am made to feel unwelcome at certain stores. They are not doing undesirable jobs but rather are doing skilled labor for enough money to have newer cars and trucks. They fly Mexicsn flags.

  The same for the African immigrants keeping their dress, customs.

  Mist of them are not absorbing or adding flavor to our institutions but are keeping separate

  A little off topic... I'll be moving...

  by Expanded-Mind in

  2. friends

  i'd appreciate getting some opinions about a decision i will shortly have to make.. i am moving soon and have the choice of two different apartments in two different towns.

  i am hoping this move will be one of the last that i have to make - i have moved frequently in my life - at least for a long, long while.. the apartment i like the least is in a town and a location that i love due to my history with, and connection to the area.

  the apartment i love is in a town and location i am not as crazy about, but it is still a really nice area.

  2700 years ago Jews ate pigs

  by fulltimestudent in

  2. friends

  from haaretz newspaper:.

  what does a pig skeleton discovered in jerusalem say about first temple era jews?.

  the argument here is that sanctions on eating pork were only introduced in the 2nd temple era.. so what does that tell you bout biblical accuracy.. .
