the wt is at it again it seems.
playing dirty as it can, trying to silence dissenters.. the john cedars channel on youtube has been taken down after the posting of a video critique of regional (district) convention leaked videos.. sounds like something putin would do in russia.
you know what they say, birds of a feather fly together--what a murder of crows all of'em!.
What I saw on the videos was interesting and revealing.
regarding the current bickering [once again ] among the fellows here ..........Lloyd is a scum bag and diva - we once sent him some precious $$$$ to fund his earlier projects . I dont like him no moh !
why i am proud to be dutch: today the state secretary of foreign affairs had to resign because of lying about russia.. we don't accept openly liars.. g..
My ancestry is Dutch - have entire family line recorded from 1600 until myself without breaks. Cant get Dutch passport though - too late and too old !
ofriends, having followed many of your posts on this website, i am convinced that the prophecy of the last days as penned in 2nd timothy 3:1-7 is actually now being fulfilled by the present governing body.. .
2 tim 3:1… but know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here.
(definitely, we all face hardships from the gb policies.
It can be....................
But then one has to deal with this Texts relevance to the collateral information in the Bible too - so if you believe fully in the Bible it would have high relevance and also imply that the GB has had a special relationship with God all along and has now fallen into a period of darkness which would then oblige one to "continue" with the Borg and 'stick it out" ...just my thought ~
When you look at peoples attitude to religion in general and the Christian religion in particular then it can apply to all who profess Christianity.
The Borg would never admit to being the key figures in this text

I have enough concerns down this way in my city.
But I along with the 4.5 million inhabitants of this beautiful city will survive.
if seems to be quite fashionable nowadays for ex-jws to get a tattoo or a series of tattoos to symbolize either their time spent in the watchtower or their escape, and i kind of don't get it.
i don't understand why someone would want a constant reminder on their body of such a horrible period in their life.
on another forum, one woman shared that she was getting 25 bees tattooed all over her body to represent the 25 years she spent in the org.
I guess thats her Beesnees !
I personally dont like tattoos . its a permanent aging scar -
however I would be in favour of a temporary arrangement as a form of body art
i mean, they're in a public place and may get blown into someone by the wind, perhaps hurting a child.
surely because of their position, some kind of public liability insurance or similar should cover the literature carts/trolleys?
other charities like oxfam require insurance, i'm pretty sure, or a licence..
The responsibility would be placed squarely in the court of the Cart handlers and their congo. but not for the account of the Octo-Klubbe in NY

masturbation is not sinful, unclean, or wicked.
Love? Marriage? Sex? Can a married couple have all three? Perhaps it’s unrealistic since so many marriages end in divorce today. Why is that? One reason might be that a reported 20% of all marriages are sexless and that number is rising. Why have we lost the lust in our marriages? Is it technology, is it trust? More importantly, how can we “get back at it” in our marriages today?

of course, we don't share all views in common.
unless i'm mistaken, however, we older, former jws were decisive about what our "bible-trained consciences" would allow -- or not.
Astrologer Neil Spencer denounced the lyrics as "astrological gibberish", noting that Jupiter aligns with Mars several times a year (which doesn't make sense either, since Mars' orbital year is 687 days) and the moon is in the 7th House for two hours every day.[6] These lines are considered by many[who?] to be merely poetic license, though some people take them literally.
