Another marriage bites the dust ...

by EdenOne in

... and this time it was mine.. mrs. eden decided to part ways and leave home, and so our 25 year long partnership is now dissolving.

.

just another colateral damage in a long list of colateral damages from being raised in the "truth".

So sorry to hear this EdenOne I hope you both find happiness and glad to hear you still have an amiable friendship with each other.

Where is Jehovah?

by sinboi in

many years back, my younger brother and i were the most mischievous kids in the kingdom hall.

we would mischievously take away things like the bible , study magazines, etc from meeting attendees.

soon, they will suspect us if anything went missing.. our parents were annoyed with our conduct and behaviour.. they requested an elder to talk to us.

The householder answers the door to JW`s and he listens to their presentation

HH: So to cut to the chase you guys would really like me to become a Witness for Jehovah right ?

JW : A bit taken aback by the HH coming straight to the point says rather sheepishly well since you put it that way ,yes that would be great .

HH :I`m sorry but I never saw the accident and closed the door.

i feel like i’ve overcome a massive hurdle in my awakening, and that’s the issue of dating a non witness woman.. the org has always demonised dating “worldly” people so that we won’t be unevenly yoked.

heck, it’s just a date, marriage is a loooong way off!!.

going to an off the beaten track part of london to avoid bumping into anyone, nice 3 course meal and a little drink after :-).

It sounds like you was just lucky if everything went well as you say.A good tip I read or heard about with first dates is not to have a full blown evening together with pre- dinner drinks maybe a show and then a meal together and the reason being usually you know within the first half hour whether you are both compatible and the rest of the evening can be hell if you both don`t click.

The suggestion was to meet for coffee at some public place and spend maybe a half hour to one hour getting to know each other better and do that a couple or a few times before having a full evening together .

Well I thought it was a sensible suggestion anyway.

Good luck

Drunk woman threatened Jehovah's Witnesses with a claw hammer

by punkofnice in

https://www.kentlive.news/news/kent-news/drunk-woman-who-threatened-jehovahs-1451367.

oh, deary me........this is quite a sad story.. make of it what you will..

smiddy3

While it doesn`t excuse the behaviour of the woman concerned ,i just wonder if the 5 JW`s haven`t embellished the story to suit their agenda being a persecuted minority religion ?

The woman was obviously very drunk ,so I doubt she would have clarity as to what actually happened .

So that leaves 5 J.W`s to testify what actually happened ? The other guy who came on the scene later didn`t witness what went on beforehand he was a late comer to the situation .

I wouldn`t put it past the J.W.`s to exaggerate the situation out of proportion to gain mileage out of what happened and put them in a good light for the media.

Armageddon started...

by mikeflood in

just joking i really don't think so...but the situation in syria is pretty worrisome...just hearing the news that france and great britain are attacking with cruise missiles in 72 hours.

i mean assad is not gonna gasify his adversaries when he almost won the civil war.

trump too suspended a very important trip to the latinoamerican presidents summit in peru, just to 'oversee the american response to syria.

In the meantime China is just sitting on the sidelines thinking ,this is great, these two USA and Russia going hammer and tongs with each other ,when it`s all done and dusted we will just step in as the leading Superpower of the New World.

Older publications.

by Lost in the fog in

it's amazing what you can stumble upon on the internet these days.

i just came across this site.

maybe you already knew about it, but i did not.

The G.B. of Jehovah`s Witnesses are obviously ashamed / embarrassed with their earlier publications and they would not be happy with sites like this that show them.

As they try to re-write their own history

J.W.`s might like to hide them but thankfully sites like that showcase them for all the world to see.

Wishing that current world events are fulfilling Bible prophecy doesn`t make it so, either.

Just saying

My wife and I just had a wonderful experience today.

by smiddy3 in

my wife was looking through some old diary`s that we have lying around and found a ph.# of an old friend (jw) that we knew over 15 years ago .we were always curious as to what has happened to her as she was a dear friend for many years when we were in the "truth".

so she rings the number (,do you still have the same # that you had 15 yrs ago ?

) and this friend was a bit of a "gypsy" type so she wasn`t expecting much when she rang.. to cut a long story short we all had a good conversation we had been trying to find out about her all these years with no success and she was also trying to find out about us all these years with no success ,we had moved interstate.. nothing was said about religion though i suspect she is still associated with the borg.

smiddy3

An update : We have had a couple of calls since I last posted and surprising to me was that she never mentioned the memorial coming up ,nor has she mentioned anything about it afterwards.

With today`s call I thought hello here we go .She asked what I thought about what was going on in Syria.?

My answer was : Nothing new to see here rival nations have been at loggerheads since Adam was a boy ,same ole same ole ,it doesn`t mean anything .She just laughed

And that was that ,I then handed the phone over to my wife who had a long conversation afterward but nothing was said regarding religion.

I have to hold my tongue because my wife says let her be ,she`s happy don`t cause waves ,she is a friend from our past and she doesn`t shun us.

So I bite my tongue and keep my mouth shut.

Russia threatens to shutdown missiles sent to Syria and destroy their launchpads

Except that the missiles launched are not from launch pads they are from warplanes ?

So the next question is what will Russia do now shoot down the planes ? of either France, England or America ?

Interesting times ahead but not validating any J.W prophecy`s in any shape or form.
