Where is the Rebel.

who cares?.

the first time i was in distress with the watchtower, i was fortunate to find this place.

my ego thought ,i was somehow special, that my posts were reaching a worldwide audience, and most of all i felt at ease, maybe home is a better word.

I am in position now in which I apparently have to "move on" for the sake of my mental well-being. This was upon advice from the Psychologist [I am still under his assistance and mentoring following very severe depression etc starting 2010]

Its about completely letting go and completing a cycle of "re-minding" me ...my brain. I now have to jump out of the plane and do the free-fall and it means consigning everything JW related to File 13 which includes the anti-matter too.

Gotta admit coming here everyday - sometimes more than once a day - is an addiction. I think the main reason in more recent times was to catch the 'early-worms' of leaks and reports coming out of WT-ville. eg the AGM's and the JW-Leaks type things.

As I now fully see no more relevance in the WT movement, why bother about it. Happily my spouse and children have managed to dump it all.

So now I work on my 'addiction' [its been very pleasant and fulfilling some of the time and I definitely have gotten a lot out of being here] ...its also proven to be a comfort zone and perhaps many do find varying degrees of succour coming and being here.

Time to go cold-turkey!

i haven't seen anyone stopped for speeding on our freeways in some time.. wth it's dangerous out there, i'm driving 69-72 mph and someone pass me at 80-85 mph.. here in southern ca it,s crazy.

the speed limits are 65-70 mph.

i'am nervous as hell when i'am on the.

AFRIKANMAN

Our Highway limit is 120 km/h but we wipe out 13 000 people per annum in road accidents here in South Africa ....which kinda rivals certain war-zone death tolls ! [Population = 54 million]

We have Speed-Averaging on Highways and Freeways via camera and still have the Traffic Police doing laser based camera speed checking from "hide-outs' along the road.

As to lane-culture: Its non-existent on our roads and the emergency shoulders often become speeding lanes of death-defying traffic.

From this past weekend in my area :

Hiererchy among elders --so says Kenneth Flodin

by wannaexit in

jw
friends

there has always been a hierarchy among elders.

now it's been validated by kenneth flodin in this talk about the word "princes".

so not any elder can be a prince in the new order.

"""it makes me feel odd to invite tons of worldly people who are obviously fornicators and idolaters and then not be able to even show a little love such as a "hello" to a disfellowshipped brother or sister.

"""It makes me feel odd to invite tons of worldly people who are obviously fornicators and idolaters and then not be able to even show a little love such as a "hello" to a disfellowshipped brother or sister. Does not compute mentally. Just sayin'

We should make the Memorial for baptized, active, approved members of JW.org in secret locations only. Less stress for me.

Jesus did not die for thier sins since they unrepentant and subsequently disfellowshipped.

How do you handle the disfellowshipped at the Memorial? """"

A Brief History of Disobedience

by AFRIKANMAN in

"oh my goodness, look at that sign over there.

keep off the grass.

makes me wonder who put it there.

AFRIKANMAN

"Oh my goodness, look at that sign over there. Keep Off The Grass. Makes me wonder who put it there. Makes me wonder why I should keep off the grass. And it makes me want to go on the grass!"
American satirist Joe Queenan presents A Brief History of Disobedience, the follow up to his programmes on Blame, Shame, Anger and Irony. He travels in time from the Old Testament to Tarrytown, his home in suburban New York. He aims to discover the importance of not doing what we are told. So let your life be a counter friction to stop the machine.

With notable contributions from the archive - Gandhi, the Suffragettes, the Greenham Common Peace protestors. Our Heroes of Disobedience include Martin Luther, Geronimo, Woody Guthrie and The Doors. Plus Matthew Parris on Margaret Thatcher, Bill Finnegan on his barbarian days as a surfer and Karen Moline on writing dirty books. And finally, helpful hints about how to be usefully disobedient in everyday life.

Joe Queenan is an Emmy award winning broadcaster and writer.
The producer in Bristol is Miles Warde.

Peace and Security!

by biblexaminer in

watchtower teaches that soon there will be a huge development that will be a sign for jehovah's witnesses!

5:3 the watchtower magazine, principle journal of jehovah's witnesses, writes.... however, just before that day of jehovah begins, world leaders will be saying “peace and security!” this may refer to one event or to a series of events.

Spotlight won Best Film

by Sugar Shane in

during the post-awards interview, the director said that the story is not over.

it's still ongoing.

could this have been a vieled jab at jws, and/or a hint at a spotlight part 2?

AFRIKANMAN

Doing somersaults ! Now to broadcast it into the Dub community as a must-see! Vatican Radio, official radio service of the Holy See, called it "honest" and "compelling" and said it helped the U.S. Catholic Church "to accept fully the sin, to admit it publicly, and to pay all the consequences."[33] Luca Pellegrini on the Vatican Radio website wrote that the Globe reporters "made themselves examples of their most pure vocation, that of finding the facts, verifying sources, and making themselves—for the good of the community and of a city—paladins of the need for justice."[34] In February 2016, a Vatican City commission on clerical sex abuse attended a private screening of the film -

my friend is trying to be reinstated his she feels her committee is biased can she have them removed she just wants to talk to her still in family

You have no Constitutional Rights in the One and Only True Organization ............and you have no recourse to Caesar either.

Even an empathetic elder will probably counsel her to ....."show a waiting spirit and attend the meetings and come back"
