King David great grandmother was a Moabite called Ruth. She wasn’t Jewish. Try doing that in JWland and see how far you’ll get.

Had to laugh.
by Lost in the fog ini had to laugh.. i bumped into a friend who has started going back to the meetings and who has that enthusiastic arm-waving way of talking about the stuff they're hearing from the platform.. in part he's wittering on about some talk they'd had about king david and all of his ups and downs.
and says, "and as the speaker emphasized over and over again, we can imitate david because he was a man just like ourselves.".
" i finally interrupted.. that shut him up.

Vince Deporter has passed away.
by Las Malvinas son Argentinas inexjw and artist (sponge bob) vince deporter has passed away at 63.. vince was an intense yet sweet guy.
we didn’t always agree but he’d always swing by later and either smooth things out or just move on.
he held no grudges.. he’ll be missed...

Another congregation closed
by hoser in15 years ago there were 5 congregations now there is only one and it is still struggling.
congregations closing their doors doesn’t mean business is good.
it looks like this last one to fold had no young witnesses, they either left the religion or moved.

The Jehovah's Witness religion has gone for good !!!
by snare&racket ini am not sure how you all feel as we all left at different times for different reasons.... but this new bible seems to have put some final nails into a coffin that was once my jw life.
the religion is so far and so different to the religion i grew up in that it has become something i feel no affiliation with anymore, no bond, no shared ideas or even sentimental views.
different teachings on when the end is coming.

DOZY: If Wt has a long term view. Selling KH, unless they otherwise been forced to, would be a very bad decision. The are already struggling with physical attendance with zoom. Creating a longer travel time will just aggravate the situation. If they go totally on line that will be the end of them. Or the end of the religion that I knew.

About the standing by carts/ D2D thing. With the hard arsed one. It just wouldn’t surprise me if they were standing beside their carts ,as bold as brass, in the middle of the town square.

Perhaps it’s a result of sexual frustration.

Would you still be angry with Lloyd Evans ?
by BettyHumpter inif instead of thailand, he had gone to a place where its legal and (supposedly) has some sort of oversight to prevent exploitation?
like nevada in the u.s or amsterdam in europe?
would the being unfaithful part still be a deal breaker as far as supporting his channel?

The thing I find unpalatable about him. Is the allegations of his inappropriately behaviour to a female under the age of 18. This, allegedly, may of been the real reason he was DFed, and the reason he never recorded his JC meeting. I’ve been following Lloyd from day one. I remember at the time of his JC thinking it odd that a crusader for freedom would not want to openly expose the injustices of Wt, by recording it. I guess now know the real reason why.
Even if nothing physically happened the intent was there.

I was in the bank the other day, and a saw security officer going out to the back of the bank, to collect the cash. He didn’t carry a gun. In fact law enforcement are not allowed to carry guns on their person. I can’t see that been the case in the future. But it drove home to me how blessed I am to live in the country that I do. There are stringent laws around gun ownership. Politically and economically the country is strong, with low levels of corruption. A doctors visit the other day Cost me $US12, and the prescription was free. It’s usually listed as one of the top 5 places in the world in which to live. As far as I’m concerned Americans and Europeans can stay where they are.
