gorby's hobby is searching his family history.. since last week we found new information.

family goes with a direct link back now to frisian royalty and goes back to 1245. .

one of the family members was advisor of karl v and others were founders of the earlier netherlands state.. so, that's a lot better then the jw.org overlapping generations 😁😁😁.. g..

This is my hobby too Gorby. The story passed down through our family is that we were descended from the Earl of Northumbria though I have not been able to find a definite link.

Calling Cofty and others regarding evolution

so i have started down the path of trying to understand evolution, and to get the linear lies that the jws planted in my head out of it.

i bought an audiobook called "evolution: what the fossils say and why it matters" by donald prothero.

i heard it recommended on an atheist podcast that i listened to.

Cofty,

What are your opinions on this article?

More than 1,000 scientists sign ‘dissent from Darwinism’ statement

“A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism” is a simple, 32-word statement that reads: “We are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life. Careful examination of the evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged.”

JW GoneBAd,

Maybe this is what they mean by the Memorial Season being a "special month of activity!"

what I don't get is if the halls have been bought and paid for many years ago, why do this to the friends? Why not let them keep their hall? Selling only makes sense if they can't afford the overhead like utilities and stuff,

Kingdom halls.. the demise of..

by zeb in

would some kind soul create a site listing as best they know the names of and the countries where kh have been closed and sold.. ie 31-6-2017, mount tall cong, north kameria.. it seems like the kh are being sold off in a lemming like rush to the cliffs..

I keep a list of all the halls closed in the United Kingdom along with all the accounts published on the charity site.

Trashy Watchtower Corporation Carts In Public Places, Can Cities Ban them?

by Brokeback Watchtower in

they have a very big child abuse enabler international reputation in the courts can these things be a reason for banning these stupid ass carts that claims to have all the answers to mans hardest questions.. why should every library have to permit them to plant their lame ass carts close to the entrance.. i'm thinking that soon due to all the bad publicity surrounding the jehovah witness cult leaders that cart witnessing will come to be seen as a very big waste of time by all it's members that have become hall less thus missing a shit load of meeting and a beginning to start thinking for themselves.. i'm sure many jws hate this type of work even now, even though it's an easy way to get your time in and not be labeled inactive or keep the elders off your back.

have you noticed that a lot of carts don't have a jw near by?

i never see anybody at the carts where i live, i've even asked people nearby and nobody knew who put the cart there.

They have a cart outside the hospital. The only reason you need to visit a hospital is if you’re sick, visiting someone who’s sick or you work there. The JW cart is on the public sidewalk at the of a pedestrian crossing. While some may say they are harmless they are surely not. They take advantage of the sick and the weak.

friends:.

simon's forum is much more than just a forum where we come to expose the watchtower.

it is a place that simon wanted people to be able to come to, to receive help, support, or find a compassionate listener.. this forum has exposed the watchtower more times than any forum on the net.
