This week at our meeting we were advised that our call in phone line would become secure and anyone who needs to use it will have to have a PIN number to access it. I tried to find out why this was so. To no avail of course. We are always told things but never the reason behind it. Does anyone know anything about this? and has it happened to any other congs? Someone suggested its due to apostates listening in, I doubt that besides active publishers/apostates like myself can pass on info talked about at KH or anywhere else for that matter on forums such as this. Maybe the boys in Brooklyn need to read what i have said if apostates are the problem. Their Kingdom Halls are full of them haha hilarious

Is this example in the Jeremiah Book Geoffrey Jackson
by konceptual99 inin the jeremiah book this week there was this example used to bash further education.... .
12 a brother now serving at world headquarters was 15 when he was offered a scholarship to a university.
to his teachers dismay, he did not accept that offer, preferring a career as a pioneer.

I posted a comment under another thread "Here comes Baruch again" a few days ago. At the meeting last week a sister in our cong made a comment that it was Geoffrey Jackson that the para in Jermiah book was referring to. How she knew this I don't know. She's the wife of an elder so maybe that's why she knows who this story was about. I didn't think to ask her how she knew it was Geoffrey Jackson. I also made the comment what about all the other folkes who have listened to the GB over the years about not perusing higher education and now are living in poverty. It really pi**es me off all the banging on about higher education. There is no basis in scripture for such a doctrine.

Interesting conversation
by Freeof1914 inas some of you know several weeks ago i was disfellowshipped for several reasons, but primarily my thoughts on the organization.
last night i had a very interesting conversations with my wife after she came back from the meeting and several things jumped out at me that made see even more clearly how sick this religion is.
first of all, several months ago we attended a wedding of a friend.

Freeof1914 your wife mentions that disfellowshipped people are old news one week after the announcement and no one cares about them. My experience has been whether you are disfellowshipped or not NO ONE cares about you. I want out because of this reason amongst many others. What a LOVELESS organisation this is.

I just can't believe how in the dark they are
by joe134cd inok the term i can best describe myself is a "neutral witness".
im neuteral in the sence that i know there are points that they are clearly wrong on, but just go along with it anyway because it the easier course of action.
i am fully a wear that things aren't the best, but like a bad marriage i just put up with it, do the best i can with the circumstances i find myself in, and hope things will improve, although they know deep down they won't.. anyway that aside.

Here comes Baruch again
by stillin insomehow this weeks book study, which covered some more about baruch, managed to turn it into a slam against education or trying to improve yourself very much.
ok, he didn't "seek great things for himself.
" but to twist that into the diatribe against college education, under the pretense of a bible study, is simply appallingly irresponsible!

About this weeks book study. Someone in our cong made a comment regarding the person referred to in para 12 page 108. It apparently is none other than Geoffrey Jackson. This bro was offered a university scholarship when he was 15 (highly unusual) but it does happen. He turns it down, preferring to waste his life pioneering. He now lives like a fat cat being a member of the GB, no worries. What really pi**es me off is the restless banging on about higher education. What about older folks who foolishly listened to their lies and garbage and never went to university and find themselves now living in poverty? This organisation needs to end ASAP!! Well I've had my rant for the night.

The Cicadas are coming!!!!
by Glander inapparently they will be emerging primarily in the eastern us.
anyone heard them yet?
do they annoy you?.

Lozza Aussie
Ah yes the cicadas, we had a few here this summer. Not the usual number we have. The weather gone pear shaped. I only heard them a few times when it was hot. They are very annoying. I remember one year every where I looked on fences and posts they were coming out of their shells ewww those shells give me the creeps I have to knock them off the fence I absolutely hate them. It's coming into winter now so no more until next summer. One way to stop them making a noise is hosing them with water iin the trees where they hang out it shuts them up.

So sorry to hear about your cat smiddy. I understand how you feel. The last cat I had needed to be put to sleep. They are really a part of the family. I don't have any pets because I can't put myself through the pain of loosing them. My daughter has a lovely cat who gets into all sorts of mischief so I take a keen interest in him. He's a little devil sometimes but I love him. I cat sit him when she goes away which I enjoy.
