Second in the Medal Table - Well Done TeamGB

by konceptual99 in

can't believe it - gb is currently second in the medal table, with more golds and silvers combined than even china.

given the size of the nation it's an incredible achievement and we have won in some sports where other countries typically dominate.

i can't imagine we will stay in second but i am happy to enjoy the moment.. well done to the whole of team gb!.

Tips on how to raise money

by Holden Caufield in

i need some ideas to raise money for my study research trip for west africa in cape coast ghana..

Zoos

Sign up to drive for UBER.

I've been doing it occasionally for the last 6 months. The best part is I get to set my own schedule. I drive when I want to and when I don't want to... I don't.

UBER simplifies the entire process for you.

The governing body are digging their own grave.

by atomant in

surely the gb aren't naive enough to believe their own lies.what does it take for the majority of j dubs to wake up to themselves and finally realize that they are being robbed on all levels emotionally.financially,spiritually,intellectually and many other aspects of their day to day lives..

Zoos

I imagine the GB awake each morning with a pit in their stomach, wondering how long they will be able to hold the charade together.

SURELY, THEY KNOW.

But desperation compels them to keep the hamster wheel spinning so long as they can seduce hamsters up their asses.

Just Sent in My DA Letter!

by Thoughtless in

hey, this thread is nothing new so i don't wanna get too personal but i'm happy to announce that i am apart of the 33% club!!

i sent in my da letter this past wednesday (again actually, i sent it in the week before but i got hit with the old 'return to sender') and i sent the letter up to the hq instead.

i did courteously mark it as re: disassociation for whatever lackey got it, but i did request in the letter not be contacted.

Zoos

If your local BOE has your phone number, they will likely call you in an effort to "encourage" you, change your mind, or simply confirm the letter came from you. Just tell them it was your letter, "no further comment" and hang up.

When you DA, you are worse than disfellowshipped. They really won't want to bother with you.

Oh, and..... welcome out, buddy!

Rank & file are seeing the money-grubbing

by Zoos in

spoke with a fellow apostate from my own area.

she and i bailed out about the same time and kept in touch.. she used to do secular work with one of the local elders in his cleaning business until she got dfed.

this same elder was one of the more profound dickheads on my reinstatement committee, before i turned around two years later and daed.. business required her to contact the elder on behalf of an old client.

Zoos

Not really related but why do American's say Money Grubbing? Surely it's Money Grabbing?
Is "Grubbing" some term with it's own origin and usage or is it one of these "we mis-heard it / invented our own pronunciation" things?

I've heard the phrase my entire life. Maybe it IS just local vernacular.

New Monthly Broadcast - BE LOYAL! - Shut Up and Sit Down!

by ttdtt in

the new broadcast is - predictably - about being loyal to the gb.it's a shut up and sit down message.. one of the funny things they keep bringing up is the correlation between the gb and moses.those who don't listen to the gb are like korah.. this is a false choice, why?let's look at a quick comparison.

(this is from the point of view of the bible).

was moses directly picked by god?- yeswas the gb directly picked by god?- well no, we actually are not told how the gb are picked and why the qualify.. did god talk to moses?- yesdoes god talk to the gb- no, they admit they are not in direct communication.. did god inspire moses to write laws and judge.- yesdoes god inspire the gb to write laws and judge.- no, they admit they are not inspired, and they are always wrong and need to change things all the time.. did god give the israelites undisputable proof that moses is his channel?- yes, many miracles visible to everyone one around happenddoes god give jws undisputable proof that the gb are his channel?- no, there is no proof, actually contrary.. was moses ever wrong?- nohas the gb ever been wrong?- every time.

TTDTT said: "Let's look at a quick comparison. (this is from the point of view of the bible)"

Even when Moses spoke out indiscreetly - "I will give you water from this rock" - God still backed him up so Moses would not lose face with the people.

How many indiscreet writings has God backed up for the GB?

by moley in

well the ball has started rolling, gonna sue, can't go into to much detail.

Zoos

Tell us what you mean by "the ball has started rolling". Have you consulted a lawyer and he/she has told you you have a legitimate case?

Don't know if I'm hearing things.

by Bigdummy in

i went to the hall with my wife on sunday.

i try to be there for my wife at some meetings.

because she is still neck deep in the beliefs and she understands my fading and doesn't.

Zoos

I want you to research the Jehovah's Witnesses
for yourself. Be like the Bereans and don't just accept something that somebody tells you.

By this, the speaker means, "Scour the jw.org website that only has literature dating back 10 years, and then you will have all the proof you need that this is the trooof." - - In JDub land, "research" does not mean the inclusion of literature dating back to the beginning of the Watchtower religious bowel movement and CERTAINLY does not include outside information.

What, are you crazy?

The UN Files - Print Out And Keep For Your Next JW Visitor

by pale.emperor in

i've been researching the wt and the un involvement.

when i was still in and i first seen the un letter online, my cognitive dissonance kicked and i told myself it'll be a fake.

an apostate lie.. and seeing as no jw i've spoken to has ever heard of it, and flatly deny any involvement "no, they wouldn't do that", i decided to do a little "personal study" of my own.

Zoos

I have, at one time or another, seen every one of those documents and heard every line of reasoning. But you laid them out brilliantly for anyone just learning about this.

Nicely done.
