looking for a laugh.... listen to this gal's response to tony's encouragement to donate.. https://youtu.be/mvjv__r7xaw.
" We don't like to talk about money in the last days of this system ?
There you go implying fear and coercion, if you give Jah will be happy toward you, a indication of your personal devotion to kingdom interest
Oh by the way the money you give doesn't go to the pleasure and use of are own personal lives, like the swimming pools and tennis courts you see at Bethel HQs
goodbye old friend; someday we'll meet again ….
the ghost with the fine china cups.
my last memory of her… a friend from long ago.. julie was a startling beauty, a blue-eyed, natural blonde; a model, guitar player, a singer with glowing purity of tone, a talented writer, and possessed of a wicked sense of humor.. she was too young to be dating and yet she was a natural flirt.
Sad that she couldn't get that medical problem repaired in her growing elder years.
US healthcare system sucks, no wonder people/politicians have tried to revise it.
I have wondered a few times whatever happened or became of those JWS teenagers I grew up with.
We are now in are 60's
now, many years later, i remember the 1995 generation change, very well.. since early youth, hearing my father explaining in field service the 2520 years.
it was his main theme in the field.. with the change my doubts started.
with some jw friends we did not trust the organization anymore.
Lets face it JWS got sold a sock full dreams of delusional bullshit, many have personally suffered in adhering to those dreams,
Mind you the GB heads did well, they still got the vast amount of money and power
there was a recent legal challenge, brought about by a woman who herself has down's, which sought to overturn this sad state of affairs.. and a few days ago, a judge upheld the original law and denied her legal challenge.
this is pretty sick, don't you think?.
pro-abortion people love to ridicule religious people who claim that life begins at conception, so the obvious question is, when does life actually begin?.
Totally agree this is wrong and needs to be changed.
Quite surprised this rule/law exists in the UK.
i replied to a lesbian on the quora website who tried to state that god destroyed sodom because of the violent rape the people were trying to commit, not because they were homosexuals.
her argument perperuated so often was that it stated nothing about sex between "two consenting adults".
but, instead of using the bible scriptures such as a man shall not lay down with another as a woman, i used something else you never hear anyone use.... i told her to look to genesis 6:1-4 .
Free Will is the only reason people can choose to be as they want right now.
Freewill what the F ?
Is it freewill from an individual that makes a mentally retarded or blind person ?
Is it inherent freewill that the mentally retarded or the blind choose they way they are ?
Sure there were a couple notable hypocrite elders in my old Hall, who drove in brand new Cadillacs or Mercedes, wore the most expensive suits and looked the rich atypical.
The way it was in that Hall was that your personal wealth made you automatically into a posed elevated member in apposed to a poorer person.
Put in some mega dollars into the contribution box and wallah your among the truly righteous.

Isn't humanity better off using and accepting modem secular knowledge regarding human sexuality than what the ancients knew 3000 years ago ?
The ancient Hebrews probably had justifiable reasons why they took their stand and position on homosexuality, we should honestly assume and accept that I think.
One thing we can unquestionably be assured of there are biological indifferences within born humans and it is inhumane to create prejudices and hatred through or because of those indifferences.
covington / muhammed ali / disfellowship (what do they have in common?
)“hayden c. covington, one of the most influential figures in the history of first amendment law.
beyond the numerous first amendment cases he argued or co-argued in the supreme court, he also prevailed on behalf of the witnesses in over “100 decisions handed down by various state supreme courts, and .
Good read Terry
Just one question though, what was he DFed for ?

There is much evidence of evolution but where is there evidence of supernatural beings /spirits ?
Ancient mythological expressions?
i was wondering would you like to have ex jw flag or a bumper sticker?
if you know how to do some graphics, i would like to see your designs.
