  What are the JWs saying about Trump?

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as much as jws say they are neutral, they can't help but discuss politics and label them as either bad or good and somehow connect it back to their dogma.

  i remember hearing them discuss it all the time when i was a jw.

  i can't help but wonder what the r&f are saying about trump and the many, many controversial events surrounding him.

  My wife is a loyal JW. When I bring up something about Trump, she always goes along with what he is doing and dislikes the liberals.

  Yes. He's doing what I expected and more. I wish all the obstructionists would get out of the way.

  i posted here weekly until a year ago when my mum died of a mild form of lukemia which is easy to treat with 2 blood tranfusions a month.

  you can live to 100 with treatment, but no my mum chose to die a faithful witness after 2 years of chemo and hell for her family and doctors.

  her chemo doctor cried when she only had weeks left to live knowing that she could be saved with one bag of blood!

  us prosecutors are reportedly considering charging 'el chapo' guzman with the killings of 6 us citizens and a dea agent.

  "the first killings came on december 2, 1984, when four jehovah's witness missionaries, two men and two women, knocked on the door of a drug lord.

  godoy, who was then also working as a body guard for ernesto fonseca, another guadalajara kingpin, said the missionaries were tortured and the women raped.

  I was just wondering today if those GB guys see what the apostates are saying about them and have some fun with it.
  
  "Hey Anthony, they're calling you Tight Pants Tony."
  
  "Yeah Lett but they are calling you Rubber Lips."

  Angelophone

  by TheWonderofYou in

  2. entertainment

  with the success of the photodrama in mind, and the realisation that records were now highly popular, a few bible students set up the angelico company in 1916. ostensibly it was to manufacture and sell phonographs, but with each purchase came a set of 50 angelophone recordings.

  for some reason they were numbered 49-98, although it is certain that no 1-48 were ever issued.

  henry burr (1882-1941) was a canadian singer of popular songs from the early 20th century, an early radio performer and producer.

  Thanks so much for sharing this. I have a collection the the Angelophone records I inherited. I had no idea of the history behind it. Now I'm going to have to dig them out and play them on the only thing I still have that can play them, a WT portable phonograph.

  I'm really curious about your fifth generation roots. I am 62, third generation who's roots go back to 1910. I was an only child of Gilead grads, and have thought that my parents really went against the grain having me. Being fifth generation means several of your ancestors did that.
