  i remember hearing the sounds of the train horn blowing on january 1st 2015 and remembering, "another year and no armagedon".

  and i was so disappointed.

  i hated to hear that train whistle blow.

  LevelThePlayingField the effect for me is the same - Its liberating piece of music that I have to confess [ and I am a "tough" guy ] gets me choked up at times - I see in that train humans striving - struggling with their proverbial torture stakes - I also see the "worldly ...doomed....people " who everyday all bloody-well getting off their derrieres and striving to make a difference in the world and in the lives of their fellowman - while JW.CULT does sweet Fanny Adams ! ..."Oh we just wait for the Big Guy to press the big red button of Doom - solve the problems in one Big Genocide "

  Stay well !

  by Esse quam videri in

  pandemonium broke out at the headquarters of the watchtower bible and track society as hundreds of former bethel workers protested being released from their assignments and told to vacate the premises.

  the governing body members barely escaped the wrath of the mob, some without the shirt on their backs.

  JWs and Education

  by cognac in

  my parents were always of the belief that, "the end is right around the corner".. i was a zealous kid, with a learning disorder, so my parents never gave me a hard time or pushed me in regards to my education.. this not only hurt me, but, pissed me off insanely.

  fast forward to me having my own kid.

  ava is not doing well in school.

  they started talking about the recent shooting at the university.

  "Very Soon ......" the infamous witness Mantra -

  But in the interim we wont lift a bloody finger to try and improve the lot of people on this planet - we will leave that to the worldly people to do while we await the big A which will then kill them off in a horrific manner - by way of thanks for all their "fine works" .....................................

  we've just had our sunday meeting and the letter was read out to the congregation.. however, there was no mention of the bethel lay-offs or the building program shut-downs.. looks like we are on a need to know basis, here in australia..

  But there have been huge layoffs - I am still trying to establish the exact number from the South African Bethel which is one of the larger Bethels as it serves a huge territory - allegedly about 500 laid off.

  fukitol - Hi - I think you are merely expressing your disappointment but in a way which makes it come across as if you are accusing members of this forum for not being up to scratch re the AGM - so you are being grossly misunderstood - You need to restructure your words differently.
