a real conspiracy to destroy anti-cult miviludes in france.. therefore, a question arises that burns the lips of all our interlocutors: who wants the skin of the miviludes?
"this disintegration of the fight against cults is carried by occult influences, at the highest level of the state.
the miviludes disturbs, "says georges fenech.

there is a surge going on of people buying guns, especially first time buyers.
with talk of police defunding and rioting in the neighborhoods, some people want to protect themselves.. do you support owning and using a gun if needed?.
Rule #1 when going to a gun fight.......bring a big gun!
Rule #2 when going to a gun fight......bring friends who have big guns!

been reading here for a few years.. 4th gen jw, born and raised, served for a few years which was the catalyst for me.
the politics, backstabbing, slandering and coercive tactics in particular caused a constant internal struggle.
i started researching and focused only on the stories of ex-elders/servants to see if i was the only one - i wasn't.. the rest is history..
Hi and welcome!
Your story should be interesting! It should be very interesting at your family gatherings when all your jw family proudly start bragging about being 2nd, 3rd, 4th generation jw's if you casually mention that you're all actually just 1 "overlapping generation"! Watch them squirm!

you of course remember the fabulous chariot charging about, eyes everywhere, wheels within wheels.
(elon musk be afraid).
yes, able to change direction instantly, react to any situation.
Both the GPS and the gyro guidance systems on jehobers celestial chariot have malfunctioned! I think it crashed when "overlapping generations" was announced!
"All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put the celestial chariot back together again!"

just wondering if anyone can confirm or deny this unofficial jw experience that my father received by email.
i’ve told him that it against wt rules to forward unofficial accounts.
but of course he just puts that down to apostate driven lies.
Didn't jehober 'create' Zoom just for jw's? I heard that jehober sent the Covid-19 scourge just so jw's could be on the cutting edge of using Zoom to show the world that nothing could stop the "preaching the good news"!
OMG! Is that another urban legend?

i see a lot of shocking videos on social media about gangs of blacks attacking white people.
how big is the problem really and what is done about it?.
Were any white people lynched? My mom was born in the deep south, redneck country, in 1918. Her father and brothers were part of the KKK. They participated in a lynching of a couple of black men in the 30's. It never left her memory and she used to say that someday the shoe will be on the other foot and white people will be in danger! Guess she was right!

lately in the news you see more karens and kens emerging.. ”i’m calling the police.
i see a black man looking at me!”.
”i want to speak to your manager right away!!
Damn I must be getting old. It use to be Ken and Barbie. Now it's Ken and Karen?

for those of us who could sit through the program so far, i did find it interesting that they are again asking for people to apply to bethel.. i happened to speak to a friend who called and asked him why they would do that.
his response was that, well, they need younger people there.. i guess once you are over 50 or something you are eligible to be sent out to pasture..
Asking for more Bethel applicants is a pure smoke screen. Makes it sound like the organization is growing and prospering. I won't be surprised if there is soon a tuition fee to enter Bethel!

this is not a jw-bashing thing, but it always seemed odd to me that the "excuse" when things go wrong is that "we have to wait and see how the prophesy is fulfilled" or some other wording.. my question has always been, then what is the purpose of the prophesy if you don't understand it until after the fact?
isn't that like having a weather forecast but being told that we don't really know what the weather will be until the next day?.
i'm sure some of the intelligent people here can guide me but in all honesty, i never understood that..
Prophesy is a fancy way of saying 'trying to predict the future'. It's delusion at it's best! Anyone can be prophet because "even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in while!"
I'm still waiting on the 1969 wt prophecy about not growing old in this system to be fulfilled! Maybe in wt speak, 73 in not really old!

in my lifetime, (i will include kennedy even though i was probably breast-feeding at the time), but it seems that there have been relatively few presidents that we vote "for.
" my list would be kennedy, reagan, clinton and obama.
i'm not talking about their politics here but who generally got voted for, instead of simply voting against.. any thoughts?.
Absolutely for sure positively the reason that tRump was "elected"! Very unstable person!
