LHG, I remember my mom saying that we won’t feed people that god will kill tomorrow.
even worse, she said that JW children who are molested will have the memory of this trauma wiped out after Armageddon, and worldly kids will be killed anyway.
probably not new to many of you but i'm gonna post it anyway!.
i went to a circuit assembly last week at the fremont, ca assembly hall in fremont, ca to be with my wife so she could be there to 'witness' the baptism of a person she "studied" with about 2 decades ago!.
at the main entry to the assembly hall there are 3 or 4 large double door entrances.

Happy New Year from Illinois, USA. And, keep smiddy3 in mind due to the wildfires. 😞
i received a call from a friend in new york city that don adams passed away late last evening (30 dec 2019).
many of you bethelites know him and he was the president of the society for a number of years after the gb got out of the corporate structure business.
from what i understand, he was generally liked by many there.. some in my family knew him.
I’m with you, Bethelite! And next time I come to Arizona I want you to autograph my book.
LHG: I thought of the actor from Get Smart, too haha.

kent refugee action network's bridget chapman, (idiot!
) who works directly with asylum seekers arriving by boat, said the home office's response was "disgraceful".
Dio, I agree, I really don’t want Muslims here unless they want to convert. I know personally, 3, and they became Christians. They mean no harm to anyone. It’s hard to trust this ‘religion of peace’. You can’t tell what is in their heart, and who can tell if their minds can be changed by some radical.

Ima fiscal conservative, but a social liberal. IMO, the real threat to the US isn’t the illegals coming from the southern border, but the Muslims coming in in droves, not assimilating, expecting us to accept Sharia law. If they want Sharia, go back to the Middle East and leave us alone.
i've not been on this site for awhile now.
and i haven't posted in several years.
at times i'll pull up jwd and read a little bit.

I just got home from attending a lovely Christmas Eve service with my daughter and her family. What a nice, no pressure, service, singing the old songs we all know. Silent Night, etc. everyone came dressed as they were, women in jeans, ( my daughter had ripped ones on ) . Lit candles at the end. This is how church should be. This was a community Christian church.
in 1998, #watchtower mailed a secret memo to all circuit overseers in which it was announced that when a "former child abuser" who was also an elder or ms moved to another congregation, the new congregation would **not** be informed of his past sins.
read: institutional cover-up!

Since when do child molesters stop molesting? I don’t think they just stop. They just try to not get caught.
last week i posted a thread asking about who knew any "real anointed" and got some cracking replies.. that got me to thinking, as someone brought up in the 70's and 80's in the watchtower religion, my experience of bible studeis in their homes and those who made it to the hall were mostly batshit crazy or at least people with some serious quirks.. i'll relate a few, none of whose names i remember with any clarity.. in our cong we had an older couple who were from london, but who had been in the 1950's in the circuit work in the mid west usa.
they brought along some woman one night they had started a study with who told everyone cheerfully she was a recovering alcoholic and this was her cure (coming to the meetings).
this went on for a few weeks until one night they brought her to the memorial and she was royally pissed, and i mean barely able to stand; and went up to the platform table and necked some wine.
Pale, that last one was great! I almost spit my coffee out!
