my spies tell me that the attendance for hellaby this last sunday was only 600.. that's all i know.
i imagine some on here have perhaps some more insights into why.
however, it seems rather low, don't you think?.
@The Fall Guy
yes they did indeed buy much more land then sell it off in bits and pieces. They even bought Hellaby Hotel, which was in ruins. They restored it, got all the licences and then sold it off as a functioning hotel.
we were told that thanks to selling off most of the original land, this paid for EPAH and the land. That’s why I could never understand how the running costs were so high every weekend. Electric must be very expensive int Yorkshire!
hello everyone, my wife wants nothing to do with my awakening.
every time i try explaining something she tells me she doesn't want to hear it.
i believe she's afraid of learning something she's not ready for.
I'm in the same boat mate!
bless you, that was a big sneeze you let out sister.. sister- ah, what does "bless you" mean?.
oh, it's pagan.
because people bless the soul of the person so they don't escape from their physical bodies.. sister- right, it is difficult to change the little things, but we can please jehovah by staying away from those things.. .... this is a scenario that happened when i accidentally (naturally) said "bless you" to the jw sister.
In fact if the WTS did their research properly they’d realise that it dates back to the days of the bubonic plague. One of the first signs that you had the plague was sneezing so people would say “bless you” wishing/hoping that you wouldn’t come down with the plague.
As Scratchme says, in Spanish we say “Salud” or “Jesús”. I personally always say “salud” as a sign of respect and courtesy. It’s automatic. I also say it when having a drink with a non-JW or another PIMO JW (in this context, salud is translated as “cheers”.)
it's a deja vu from matthew..."for nation shall rise against nation.....".
it seem that periods of instability occur around the world periodically.
since the arab spring to brexit and trumpism people want change.
La Guardia Civil didn’t beat up the civilians; that was their own Mossos (Català police).
i'm looking for this brochure mentioned in god's kingdom book.
i've heard it's only for gubernamental authorities.
otherwise someone would have it in pdf format?
I can’t find a copy of this anywhere!! It was released in June 2013 apparently.
as a witness i always found a way to not have to embarrass myself by sitting down for the national anthem.. i’m curious.
how many of you stood up for the patriotic song?.
Yes and I still do out of respect. I've never sung the English one (never agreed with the sentiments either about extolling the "gracious Queen") but I have sung (and continue to sing) both the Scottish and Welsh national anthems (tends to be more in pubs than at sporting events!)
i have never reviewed a product before, but having purchased a hitachi 50 inch full hd lcd tv at the weekend, i thought i'd share my experience.
hitachi tv's are now made in turkey, and not by the hitachi company.
the uk's sole supplier is the argos company.
Argos: that was amazing back in the day and those little pens came in handy too when you were around town and needed to write something down - just pop into Argos! :)
one thing that bothers me greatly is the fact that they can change their policies and beliefs and just say its "new light" and no one bats an eyelid.. there are many scriptures such as isaiah 40:8 "the word of god will last to time indefinite.
" or hebrews 6:18 "it is impossible for god to lie".
if he is "spirit directing" the borg then there should be no need for new light..
no idea what that is, have to take your word for it!!
@Pontoon
Really? Agent Fox Mulder from "The X-Files": "I want to believe" was his catchphrase.

The Mulder complex!
what a breath a fresh air to be free of watchtower.
now i can finally rant about the things i put up with that i'd never put up with now.. in no particular order:.
little kids in suits.
@Neat Blue Dog
I'm still physically in, but one thing I don't miss from being mentally in is the guilt and never feeling good enough or that you've tried hard enough.
Those are my sentiments exactly. Such a relief, especially to be able to put anything on your report form as it doesn't mean anything at the end of the day!
However, those feelings of self worth (or lack thereof), I doubt I'll ever get back. Crazy how indoctrination from a young age can really screw you up.
