Thanks Listener ,LV101 ,Still totally Add and snugglebunny for your well wishes ,like most relationships at times we have had our differences but nothing too serious and we both have a good sense of humour and don`t take ourselves too seriously.
There is no shame in being able and willing to compromise to allow each other there own space I found.
former fbi deputy director mccabe confirms: there were discussions within the department of justice about invoking 25 th amendment to remove trump from office.... .
i mean the us democracy isn't a third world country, a least the people involved should be reprimanded, they acted like trying a coup d'etat..
The United States has elections every 4 years right ? Obviously as it stands right now not everyone is unhappy with Donald trumps presidency he has his supporters .
So whats this business of impeachment ? if the majority don`t want him to be president after his 4 years is up elect somebody else ?
He`s not insane,he hasn`t brought the world to the brink of a nuclear holocaust ,he`s not a krushev ,or a Barry Goldwater . so whats the problem ?
If the majority don`t like him he will be voted out after 4 years .
If you want a change vote at the next election
If you want Donald trump to continue his presidency vote at the next election
If you choose not to vote at all don`t complain who the next president is.
just my 2 cents worth.

Thanks DOC imagine how i feel.
i was a jw in the 80’s-2000’s and probably saw the peak of uk attendance.. anecdotally, many here appear to have a view that attendance has reduced significantly.
our kh would have around 90-110 for a meeting, at worst maybe 75 and the highest was 144 (for memorial lol).. small circuit assembly had about 1000 people and district had about 8-12000. .
i know kh’s and circuits/districts have variance, however in the uk i attended many of these various gatherings and the numbers above tended to be reasonably average.
So a cong. might appear to have many more attendees but that may only be because it has swallowed two other congs.
With all of the congregations being sold around the and other`s merging I think Cadellin has hit the nail on the head and we wont get any "truth" from the WT/JW`s
And i`m starting to doubt whether you would get the "truth" even from there yearbooks anymore or anything they print.
We all know how they revise there own history and sanitize it.
really watchtower?
jephthah's daughter as an example of what a girl wants to be when she grows up??.
a burnt offering?!!.
With regard to the Hateful 8 ,GB members ,how many of them are married and how many have been married more than once ?
Do they have a moral right to impress singleness on anybody if they themselves are married ?
Are they the GB members or at least some of them hypocrites ?
we enter the dark world of the jehovah's witnesses: abuses, subjected women and suicides.
accusations of pedophilia, rejection of homosexuals, "social death", theft of personal data, suicides ... .
spanish interviews 15 former members of this "sect" in spain who denounce all kinds of situations.
Christendom`s priest`s / Clergy spend years studying on many levels to become ordained in there church .
And they can still stuff up
Jehovah`s Witness Elders have virtually no such training compared to what Christendom has except to have spent many hours consistently in the field service preaching WT propaganda.
And many if not most not even having a good knowledge of the history of JW`s,
And JW`s Elders are certainly not trained as counselors to the many complexities of human behaviour
jehovah reminds me of married couples who are having problems who decide to .
have children to improve their lot.. obviuosly jehovah can prevent pregnancy.. 1 samuel 1:5,6 .
but to hannah he gave a double portion because he loved her, .
Well God had to prove he was right. After all, the angels were watching!
Or was it in fact other GOD`S that were watching, Gen.3:22a
another question for jehovah's witnesses.
if the second elohim (אֱלהִים) of psalm 82:1 refers to humans, then what happens when we substitute "humans" as a translation in other verses where elohim (or elim, the other plural for "gods") occurs in the plural?
psalm 8:4-5 what is man, that you (god) art mindful of him?
Before mankind ever invented for himself Kings ,Judges or Gods or the like to rule over him ,Yahweh/Jehovah in Genesis 3:22 says this "Here the man has become like one of us"....
Who was he talking to ? his peers ? other Gods ? Himself ?
hey this is crazyguy, forgot my password so this is my new name.
anyway be sure to all you new ones that if you post any personal info on this forum or respond to pms asking for email addresses this information maybe able to be used by wt spies to try and find out who you are!
someone has recently pmd me asking for my email address or more accurately to respond to his email address which would give him mine, this maybe an innocent request but this person also has no posting history.
Lurkers and newbies especially need to take care here more so if they are not computer savvy .
Good advice.
