  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  when the economy collapses, and it will, worse than 2008, far worse.... ...what would the watchtower society do if a large group of homeless jw's starting camping out at wakhill, new york, perhaps in a large 'tent city'?.

  my first special pioneer assignment.- part 1.. in australia, western civilization is a thin strip of land, that hugs the coast.

  all the major cities are on the coast.

  i grew up on the east coast of australia where the great dividing range, as its called, runs parallel to the coast, and limits the extension of cities like sydney and brisbane.

  Yes HERE. helping etc... But where does that end? week after week of the same and burnout follows swiftly with depression , suicide, financial despair for those left behind.

  The times I have entered a kh and immediately had the gaze away greeting followed by 'where is (wife)'.. ( was aside talking). Ever obsessed that couples must be seen in micron proximity. helping? encouraged. Not when the big news is the state of relationships. Once when having a pre meeting convo I dropped the word ..'separated' into my convo. Amid all the babble three different sisters looked across the hall to make eye contact one from the diagonal opp corner. The other two were not even aware they had done it.

  Is it any wonder about then i stopped talking to any of them just 'hello', 'hows the baby', nod 'thats nice' and sit down face into bible.

  Anglican school phobia

  by Frazzled UBM in

  1. watchtower

  after a long and frustrating houe search in london we finally found a place that fitted all our requirements and my wife seemed happy with and i was successful in the bidding process and had our offer accepted even though it wasn't the highest beacuse we can exchange contracts quickly and now we have lawyers working on exchanging contracts soon.

  so everything is going swimmingly and then my wife demands that we go and look at a house being offered by the same agent we used to make the offer on the house we are buying.

  i am like wtf, if we ask the agent to see another property they will tell the vendors for the place we are buying and they will revoke acceptance of our offer and we will be back to square one.

  Your the Dad do it! if the contracts are signed its done. Suggest strongly to "I dont know" that you "Do know". and if you bomb out of the just signed contract then you both may well be up for a hefty fee to the vendors of that property. Then its no house and a big fee into the bargain.

  If she can not or will not say what it is that causes her this vexation then it cant be too damned important! After school clubs? Children go to school for the primary learning not the after school clubs. or is this child planning to clean windows?

  rant over crap day.

  of the many books that tell another story of the wts written by ex bethelites or people with a bent for research; well i have noticed the price of these on the world market.

  take the one by franz "crisis of conscience" and it is hundred s of dollars secondhand and not avalable new.

  hmmm i wonder if the society or its stooges are buying up every copy and as an aside forcing the price up.

  i would not be in the least surprised if a prospective new member of the governing body has to sign a legal contract promising that should they ever leave the gb, they must maintain complete silence about what goes on in the inner sanctum..

  I was ever annoyed at conventions where the dramas with pre recorded American accented sound track used 'Jae-Hooo-vahr'.

  China Fashion then - and now (See the Chinese girls at Sochi)

  not so long ago everyone (sort of) in china wore the ubiquitous 'mao suit.

  ' it was really a misnomer as that style was adopted by the guomindang (kmt) in the decade after the collapse of the qing dynasty.

  communist party members also started wearing it, after dr. sun yatsen invited the communists to join the guomindang.
