I have custom fit car sun shades in my car: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2m7YRVtwYPI
It was important for me to have sun protection (and insect protection) even when the windows were open.
if you have one, do cops stop you to make sure it is not too dark?

Welcome from Germany
every once in a while you hear people say they actually “miss” their old witness friends and or family.
some would have even stayed in the organization if they became a bit more liberal and open minded.

the governing body of jehovah’s witnesses have approved the formation of an additional management corporation for jehovah’s witnesses in australia and the formation of a new audio visual production company.. on 11 november 2019 a new jehovah’s witnesses company, “kingdom support services (australasia) limited” (kssa), was registered in australia to “promote throughout australasia the advancement of the christian religion as understood and taught by the ecclesiastical governing body” and to “co-operate with or provide financial assistance to persons having similar aims and purposes and to other charitable organizations having similar aims and purposes within australasia or elsewhere”.. the structure and charitable purpose of kssa allows it to provide benevolent disaster relief (‘financial assistance’) to victims of the current bushfires in australia, albeit limited exclusively to “jehovah’s witnesses [who] practice their religion under the spiritual direction of the governing body”.
as of january 2020, the jehovah’s witnesses branch committee in australia, under the direction of the governing body, have formed two disaster relief committees to provide spiritual and material help to bushfire victims in australia that meet the religion’s criteria.. two days earlier, on 8 november 2019 another jehovah’s witnesses company, “avs productions (australasia) limited” (avspa), was registered in australia to “record, produce, publish, and distribute or dispose by way of gift music, photographs, film, animation, and other intellectual property of a religious or charitable nature”.. both new jehovah’s witnesses corporations have registered with the australian charities and not-for-profit commission (acnc) as religious charities.. despite the audio visual and animation production objects of avspa this new corporation also claims to “support members of the worldwide order of special full-time servants of jehovah’s witnesses”.. these two new jehovah’s witnesses companies join the new and controversial management corporation, christian congregation of jehovah’s witnesses (australasia) limited (ccjwa), which was formed on 12 april 2019 to administer congregations, congregation charities, and bodies of elders.
and also to “support members of the worldwide order of special full-time servants of jehovah’s witnesses”.. ccjwa, despite being registered as a not-for-profit corporation with the australian securities and investments commission (asic), is yet to be approved as a charity by the acnc.

1. promote throughout Australasia the advancement of the Christian religion as understood and taught by the ecclesiastical Governing Body
holy shit
4) co-operate with or provide financial assistance to persons having similar aims and purposes and to other charitable organizations having similar aims and purposes within Australasia or elsewhere;
means only JW
5) accept by way of gift, including by will or inheritance, monies, property, resource, or administrative assistance from any persons and from other charitable organizations having similar aims and purposes within Australasia or elsewhere;
holy shit. Taken from all, given only to JW. Unbelievable to openly propagate something so unbiblical and unchristian.

Hättest Du dem user Atlantis einfach eine nette PN geschickt, wären die Dateien neu hochgeladen worden. Aber mit Deinen hier für jeden sichtbaren vulgären völlig aus der Luft gegriffenen negativen Anschuldigungen erreichst Du gar nichts. Im Gegenteil, jeder kann sehen, wessen "Geistes Kind" Du bist. Dein Verhalten ist nicht akzeptabel, insbesondere nicht gegenüber dem user Atlantis.
----------------------------------------------
@ Sektenkult
If you had just sent a nice PN to the user Atlantis, the files would have been uploaded again. But with your negativeand crude accusations, which are completely out of the air and for every person here visible, you achieve nothing. On the contrary, everyone can see whose "spirit child" you are. Your behavior is unacceptable, especially towards the user Atlantis.
Happy New Year from Germany.
Thanks a lot
i'd like to start off this post by saying, we all know that the wt loves control.
it's clear by their history, their wt's, the elder arrangement and so on.
however, after witnessing and using the publish id program in person, it takes this need for control to a whole new level & it was scary.. if you've ever seen builder assist (the website program used for ldc volunteers) or the metro program, it actually looks pretty similar to that.
If "joe publisher" don't allow the org to save his data, his name is no longer listed on the info board in the publisher groups. The same as when he no longer submits his monthly report. Easy to imagine what the rest of the congregation thinks about him. It's his social death within the congregation.
Group pressure at its finest.
blondie’s food for thought, 11/03/2019 wt study article, jah values humble servants, september 2019. https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-study-september-2019/jehovah-values-his-humble-servants/.
opening comments/food for thought.
i first asked myself, why does the wts sometimes use the word “servant” then “slave”?
Thanks Blondie for this review.
HUMBLE is JW-speak and means: Shut up and do what we tell you.
what unique to jws phrases do you remember?
something fun for those of us taught to speak an entirely unique and pure language.
there have been posts in the past in this forum but perhaps some have new ones after having kept up with jehovah's chariot as the light gets brighter.
(religiously) divided home.
I hat this phrase.
