yesterday was remembrance day/veterans days in canada.
we had a couple younger half wits in the cong in field service yesterday.
both are trying to climb the ladder with the entire elder body ready to die in the next 10 years.. i just of thought it was a dick move to go door to door about the merits of fighting for freedom or not fighting on such a sacred day.
So Ukrainians are fleeing the country and seeking asylum in safe countries.
We have some here in Australia that we have made welcome. And JW’s preach peace and refuse to join any army and take the lives of others. I find that stand admirable, if only everyone else had the same resolve we could live in peace!
Such a firm resolve makes JW’s true Christians! And there are other Christian groups who also take Christs command to love his neighbour also.

I remember presenting that very Awake article in 1980 in New Zealand!
my only prowess in making predictions stems from my 77-years of life in the united statesgrowing up under president truman, eisenhower, kennedy, nixon, .....etc.
etc.i was a widdle kid sitting in front of a tiny black and white tv set when the very first broadcastsof political conventions, deal-making, debates (nixon vs kennedy), assassinations (jfk, rfk, martin luther king, etc.
) i grew up with duck and cover under my elementary schooldesk, the cold war, the iron curtain, the korean war, the vietnam war and i went to federal prisonas a jw conscientious objector while hippies, flower children, political activists protested and universitystudents were fired up on by troops.i grew up reading newspapers (2 of them).
A sad day for the world? I couldn’t care less who won the US election. Will have zero impact on my life! Bring on Gods Kingdom and we can live the real life instead of this chaotic and insane plastic life.
i was listening to a lunchtime call in radio show about jws and the personal experiences of being disfellowshiped, and a former elder called in saying he was disfellowshiped for asking about jws and their involvement in the un in the 1990s ,and he just said look it up.. thinking that it was a made up lie ,so i looked it up and it was true even a letter confirming it from the un itself and that led me here and to jwfacts and further research into the history and teachings of jw and walked out the door about 5 years ago.

Great post Phizzy - Can you please provide the hard evidence and facts that 607 BCE was not the year of Jerusalems destruction when Zedekiah was King.
Thanks!

A remarkably well researched discussion!
What this writer has conveyed is very much what I believed and knew all along with regards to vaccines and the COVID-19 pandemic. The governing body failed in not taking and maintaining a neutral stand and look at the damage they have done to the brothers and sisters.
perhaps we could post the pictures the wt have presented in their literature that depict their version of paradise here for comment/discussion:.
from: spirits of the dead—can they help you or harm you?
do they really exist?.
Fresh NZ gurnard or Snapper and chips yummy!
And throw in a few cooked Bluff oysters even better.
i’ve been invited to the dedication at chelmsford.. it’s crazy here, several thousand ex bethelites here for lots of events.
all hotels booked.

cofty - Thanks mate for your reply. We get a tv programme here in Australia called
“Escape to the Country”. People who want out of the big cities and finding a quieter pace of life in a country setting. Some of the houses and villages are just stunning. They almost look perfect but of course nowhere is like that. But smaller towns and villages do have a more slower pace and genuine community connection.
What do you think about Devon?
Am thinking of coming over to stay for 6 months or so and am researching places that would work for me. But also need to go somewhere that gives me easy access to the Continent. Have a great day and hello from Brisbane!

In 1978 I visited Mill Hill. Was with another brother and we travelled from New Zealand to attend the International in Edinburgh Scotland. We also stayed in Chelmsford Essex.
Its apparently the home of Essex cricket, suppose it still is, just one of the things I remember. Have thought about going back to the UK again for a visit. Just love the country villages, pubs, scenery and historical aspect of the place. Things though have changed over the years and I guess it is less appealing in some ways. If anyone is out there living in the UK maybe they could tell me what is still wonderful about the place.
may 14, 2024. hello brothers at the writing committee.
many brothers and sisters are wondering when will the end come?
we were supposed to live in the last days of the last days as brother lett told a couple of years ago.
