  Will Bro. Rogers be DF'd posthumously for drug addiction?

  by ShirleyW in

  some have been df'd for suspicion of smoking cigarettes, yet bro.

  rogers death is because of an addiction, fentanyl is what they are saying is the drug that did him in which was reported on the news as being more potent than heroine.

  why is it that some nosy sister can report you because someone who looked like you was in the parking lot the same time as she was, yet bro.

  Yay another wacky theory crafting Prince thread.

  daring heart: his service at the KH was almost a month after his death. Not even remotely rapidly. but let's not let facts get in the way of a good conspiracy theory.

  Baptized niece crowned prom queen. Could her dad loose his MS appt?

  so my niece (not thru my brother but rather my wife) had been talking about going to her prom.

  the family had privately been somewhat doubtful that she would be allowed to go.

  the problem was that they kept promising she would be allowed but history has shown us that her parents tend to get her excited about things and then drop the denial on her at the last minute.

  Do you have another source on this? The Daily Mail is pretty much the National Enquirer.

  "individuals could be vulnerable to criminal charges for expressing their beliefs."

  After reading that, how the hell can anyone support this? How do you all feel about what Russia is doing to gay people? They're basically doing the same thing, making it criminal to be gay.

  I'm not a huge fan of the WTS, but rank and file publishers shouldn't be treated as criminals for what they believe or expressing them.

  Russia's human rights record is abysmal.

  "The Bunker" WT Conventions 2016 (Gag Me)

  by Poztate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the very near future the gang will be down in a bunker,cellar awaiting the police,military to break in and take them away to camps or executions .

  (paranoid much) this is the foretold "prophecy" of the governments turning on religion and saving them for last.since the couple portrayed as simplifying their life by getting rid of a lot of material things is shown to be (about) the same age in the bunker we know it must be any minute now that it will happen.

  i have been out for over 35 years and things seem to be getting more bizarre each year.. when did this doctrine really become main stream?

  I'm going to a convention this weekend. I'll try to get video footage of this bunker shit. Should be a real hoot.

  
  

  exjwlemming: Go bags really aren't a JW thing. The federal government and FEMA strongly recommend people keep them, especially those that live in disaster prone areas.  I recall announcements about them were made shortly after Hurricane Katrina, which sorta woke people up in regards to natural disasters in the US. 

  
  

  Of course, JW's go overboard and speculate on every little thing.

  I haven't used a paper calendar in 15 years. I imagine the majority of people don't anymore because of the ubiquity of smartphones.

  It is funny though to think about the talks given once in a while about the importance of the JW calendar. Not that important anymore, though, eh?

  Has anyone been outed by jw health care workers?

  by purrpurr in

  2. friends

  carrying on from audespare thread.

  i was wondering how common it is for a sinner/apostate to be outed by a babbling jw care worker?

  say you went to your dr because you were pregnant and unmarried or wanting counseling for having to live a double life as a pretend jw... and a jw secretary at the drs office saw this on your file and went tattling to the elders?.

  Sharon had no right to talk anyone out of an abortion and deserved whatever happened to her.

  Khaleesi: Any brother can have a mustache. However, here's a fun fact: In the WT publications, you will NEVER ever ever ever ever see a white brother with any sort of mustache. Try it. Dig through any publications you have and try to find one. You can't

  The only males with mustaches are non-whites. Hispanic, black, indian, middle-eastern etc. Anyone but a white dude

  George Benson & Sheila Hutchinson on JW Broadcasting

  i am thoroughly surprised nobody has brought this up yet, but two of the original songs released last year, "i give you my best" & "jehovah welcomes you home" were performed by george benson, and the first one was a duet with singer sheila hutchinson, the same one who did duets with him over 10 years ago for the cancelled album mentioned in our kingdom ministry.

  compare this:.
