Another Medieval Silver Coin
by cofty ini got out detecting for an hour this evening.
the field just two minutes from my house has been harrowed but not seeded which makes it perfect for me.
hopefully it will stay that way until it is seeded in the spring.

CLAM Video: Aug 22-28 2016 – “Jehovah Will Care for Our Needs”
by Nicholaus Kopernicus inthis video showed a married brother with three children living in a nice domicile and working full time.
his employer demands that he change his working pattern such that it conflicts with his being able to attend wt meetings at the weekend.
the brother decides not to yield to his employer’s demand and is thus dismissed.. the brother seeks for work very actively over a significant period but without any alternative being found.

So Brother Walkswithalimp has ALS. He has been a faithful pioneer for 20 years. He has brought many people into the truth and is loved by his congregation. He was diagnosed with ALS 3 years ago. He has pioneered his entire adult life, but is now having to slow down due to his ALS. Will Jehovah miraculously change Brother Walkswithalimp's situation as he did for Brother Linecook? No of course not. Jehovah doesn't preform miracles that can be proven beyond a doubt. He only preforms vague miracles no one can prove directly he did, but with enough conjecture and believe it could be possible to credit him with a blessing someone has received.
If you are an honest person this little scenario should show you all the times they claim such miracles it is all lies and broken promises. Imagine the heartache the poor pioneer brother with ALS feels when he watches this video and he knows Jehovah won't help him, but he may help some idiot get a job.

I’m a pioneer in The City of Brotherly Love. (Yeah, I said my city. I Don’t give a fuck) Most pioneers who need extra money(,) get a part time gig working as a security guard, barista, or making sandwiches for a few bucks an hour. Well, I found myself in need of some extra cash and was damned if I was going to some fucking sandwich shop, or slinging overpriced coffee. I mean I’ve got a degree in English lit, with a concentration in creative writing, so I should be able to use the skills that I developed at the overpriced Ivy League University that I secretly attended. The previous sentence is an abortion of grammar.(Shh, don’t tell anyone) Right? Here’s the thing, I get bored very easy, so a job blogging, or aggregating the news, or doing some kind of journalistic writing wasn’t really for either. Quit (okay you need to stop this dilemma. It’s quite) a dilemma. Anyway, long story short, I started dabbling in erotica, to blow off steam, and got pretty good at it, so one day I trolled Craigslist and came across the ad; Can you write porn? I’m like, maybe. Another abortion you realize I have no means to properly correct this sentence so from here forth I shall underline in red all abortions. So, I sent in a few samples of my past writing and a week later I got an e-mail saying that my erotic writing was exceptional. I find it hard to believe anyone would reference your writing as “exceptional” Never in a million years did I think I’d get a complement on my creatively using the words, fuck, suck, cunt, cock and pussy. So, I was like,”Hell yeah”! I signed a contract,and was told that I’d get .01 a word up to 5k words. Ok, so that’s zero(why the thirty) to fifty bucks a day. Cool, so how to start creatively writing sex?
I did not graduate from an Ivy League School. I did want to go to one. Alas, I was not accepted. I did attend three major universities, and worked at two. I can say with no uncertainty, "You did not attend an Ivy League School." You are not a student of English Literature. If you are, you need to work hard and practice more. I literally could not finish reading another paragraph your first one was so horrible. Everyone else reading this can see through your falsities too. As you can see from the red, your paragraph looks like a murder scene.
Why am I being mean? Simple, I want to help you. If you wish to be a porn writer, I think that is great. You need to go to the library and check out a grammar text book. Writers can spell and use grammar. You're the only person who can accomplish your goals. I think you need to ask yourself the question, "Why am I lying to total strangers on an internet forum page?" I hope you are not going through a hard time. If you are, I hope you can look to someone to help you through whatever it is you are going through. Here's some free advice. It takes about 20,000 hours to master a skill. If you want to be a writer start learning to write, and write every moment you have available. I hope you keep trying to write. I enjoy writers who are not afraid to use words like "fuck, suck, cunt, cock and pussy." One should write them with class. Try Henry Millers The Tropic of Cancer.

One of the things I could never understand is people handing over absolute control to these charlatans. I know over the years they have bashed owning pets for various reasons. Complete Stupidity. So if you're a lurker and decided not to get a pet because some old men in Brooklyn "told you so" this is what you are missing.
I have been into winged shooting for many years. It may seem barbaric to you, but it helps to balance my soul. I had been hunting on private "pay to use" places for years, when I decided to buy a place and manage it the way I wanted to. It would be nice because I could use it when ever I want. When I got my place and got it up off the ground, I grew tired of losing birds or having to wade through sloughs and ponds to retrieve them. So the obvious answer was to purchase a bird dog.
I did 6 months worth of research before I found the breeder and trainer, I would finally chose. This is a top notch facility. He will not just sell to anyone. You must first finish a training program before he will sell you a dog. That's right the dog trainer wants to train the human before he will give you a dog. (I know what you're thinking just get a rescue dog and all that. We already have one of those and he is my wife's dog.) After several trips to finish my human training part of the equation, I was getting impatient. I was making trips and spending time here and we hadn't even talked about which dog would be mine. So basically I would spend a whole day working with his dogs and other peoples dogs to get me trained. What I didn't know was the trainer was also evaluating which dog I had the best chemistry with. There was this one dog ,who during our breaks, would come around and hang out with me, His name was Rocket.
Rocket would seek me out and I would seek him out during the breaks to play. I thought Rocket was another customers dog. Then one day, I asked the trainer when would I get to decide which dog is mine. He said in his thick southern drawl with his Yoda like mastery of his craft, "Well son, I think ole Rocket has chosen you. I don't think you have a choice in this anymore." I was super stoked because he was the dog I wanted and now he would be mine.
Rocket is a Black Lab. He got is name because when he is released on a retrieve, he launches at his target like a meat missile. He's fast, focused and fun to work. Some dogs like to retrieve and hunt. Some dogs do it because they have been forced to do it. Not Rocket. He loves it. You have never seen joy like this dog getting up to go hunting. Everyday It is Christmas morning. When he sees the shotgun his tail wags so hard, his hind paws slide back and forth across the tile in our house.
Our day starts with him making long growling, yawning ooooooos. He sleeps in a bed on the floor on my side of the room. The next thing I here is the smack smack of him flapping his jaws for the first time of the day. I then brace for it because I know its coming. Bam!!! wet nose to the face. "Okay I am up." We meander to the kitchen for breakfast rituals. Next, we run. We love this time together. The fresh new day just the two of us out for a jog. It is like we were designed to run together. It helps to clear our heads. Then I get ready and we are off to work.
Yes, Rocket goes to work with me. My assistant's office is next to mine. She likes to make fun of us because I talk to Rocket all day. I ask him questions and we have complete conversations about work, family, and everything else. In between our conversations, Rocket's naps, and his trips to My Assistant's office for treats (Rocket knows he's not supposed to have and Madonna knows she's not supposed to dole out) we work our day away. Clients, employees, and visitors come and go, but Rocket is there.
I can't explain it. This little black dog and I are a team. We have a bond. My life is better because he is in it. My life would be really sad if I would have listened to old men in Brooklyn.

I've tried to post on this for 2 days now. I will type and erase, and type and erase............................
Tortured is the only thing I can come up with. I don't like the details of it. It makes me sick. I never had a choice to be a JW. I was forced to become one. I was regularly whipped, not beaten. I stress this when I talk to people about it. There is a huge difference between a beating and a whipping. I would take a beating any day of the week. I was tortured by a father who was in good standing by his multinational, multimillion dollar religious organization when I was a kid. I was then forced to become a member only to be tortured again for the rest of my life by being cut off from my family. I remember talking to an elder about it. I had to tread carefully as to not attract the wrath of my father. When I told him about it, he laughed and remarked,"boys can be a tough lot to straighten out".

Poor Children. Both of the children in the video have it tough. The girl with the two mom's has to live with being the "not normal" child, and the other child has to deal with being raised a Jehovah's Witness. Essentially, WTBS is encouraging a little girl to go to school and disrespect the beliefs of others constitutionally given rights. Can you imagine the damage that could be done to this sweet child with two momma's. Hey your mommas are going to roast like bbq on armageddon.

I need food for thought..
by raven inhi friends,it has been 20 years that i've slaved for the wt and through out the past couple of years i could feel myself fighting an urge to accept that something was not right.
i fought it off for so long only for it to resurface frequently throughout my years of pioneering, assembly/convention parts, & speaking with people about the "truth", slaving and giving to try to be a "spiritual person" but in reality i was not spiritual because spirituality (according to the org) is doing all of the things they want you to do.
which then will label you as spiritual... no !!!

Lets look at a few things first.
Your religious organization claims to be the only and true earthly voice of God correct? They use the parable of the Faithful and Discrete Slave to establish their control over your faith. They say God has put us here to be in charge. They tell you to read some scriptures from Mathew and say, "See we are those people. You know we are because we told you so." Do me a favor right now and read Luke 12:41. Luke clearly describes this story as a parable. The Greek language is a beautiful and precise language and defiantly has the ability to describe "prophecy" and "parable". Why is this important to you. Your religious leaders purposefully lie to you and tell you this parable is prophecy. They have for over 100 years. It is a bold lie told often enough to make people believe it. When people question it they lie more and with more force. It was simply a story used with the purpose of teaching a moral lesson. If you remove that one caveat from their teachings they hold no power over you. Read that verse 10, 20,100 times. Do not let your emotions try to sway you into thinking it says something else. You have been programmed to believe the opposite. This may cause pain for you, but it is one of many things that knock their little house over. It was just a damn story not prophecy.
The blood policy is the most deceitful and hateful thing in the history of the world. I will give you a brief background on the policy so you can digest it while you read the rest. Literally our former religious organization was founded by anti technology simpletons. I hate to say it so directly, but its the truth. Here are a few things the Watchtower Organization has written against either in the past or present. Giving literature black people, their minds were to underdeveloped to process the materials contained in the magazines. Aluminum, Vaccines, blood, organ transplant, the size of the female brain, and many other weird things that were not true. These things were written out of ignorance.
Let's look at what the bible says about the Jews use of blood. leviticus 17 starting at verse 10-14. The Watchtower will stop there every time when supporting their beliefs, because they do not want you reading verse 15. I am going to go out on a limb and assume you don't regularly kill stuff to eat. Don't worry this is where my expertise comes in handy. I have a bit of land and use it to hunt on. I bleed my kills after the hunt for the purpose of making the meat taste better. If an animal dies and is not bleed within minutes, the blood will clot and there is no way to ever bleed that animal. Imagine wringing glue out of a sponge. If you do it quickly you can get most of the glue out. If you leave it a few minutes to cure you will never get the glue out. Why is the provision here for an animal that died on it's own? The reason is if a sheep farmer found an animal that died the night before and was not bled the law makers knew the meat would go to waste because it could not be bled. So to save waste they wrote a provision to allow the Israelite or non native to eat the meat anyway, but they had to wash their clothes and bathe and not go to the temple for one day. That's it!!!!!!! Take a bath and skip a day of temple. How much more is a human life worth to save than meat on the ground. Literally, the law allowed this rule to be broken as to not waste meat, but the Watchtower will allow it's members to waste their lives and the lives of their loved ones in a miss application of scripture. Go ahead and read it and check it. Every time they use a scripture to justify the blood ban they purposefully leave out verse 15. Now, ask yourself the question,"Why not change the rule?" You just read it. It is there in black and white. The reason is they are afraid of the backlash. They would rather allow more people to die than to correct their mistake and apologize. Doesn't sound very Faithful or Discrete.
Also, I hope you feel better. Go for a walk, read a book, see a doctor, call a friend, or anything healthy that makes you feel better. I've been there and fought the pain. I can tell you it gets better.
