  i have to thank tv.jw!!!

  (im not putting the complete link, but you know what i mean).

  after showing my wife the 'trolley song' as we now call it, she was rolling on the floor in embarrassment and shock.. she shook her head, and was clearly troubled by what we watched.. little by little, the org is actually helping more to wake up!

  Anyone else noticed under Herds name it simply says Governing Body and not Governing Body Member. I guess their self importance knows no bounds😁

  DON'T PANIC — Hans Rosling showing the facts about population

  by cantleave in

  an incredible lecture that uses statistics to show that the world is much better than many people think.. the challenge of population explosion - has been solved.. the challenge of extreme poverty is within our grasp.. the challenge of climate change - well that's something we need to focus on,,,,,,,,, take an hour watch this, it dispels the doom and gloom preached by many.

  "it is perfectly apparent that god is monstrous, utterly monstrous, and deserves no respect whatsoever.

  the moment you banish him, your life become purer, simpler, cleaner; more worth living in my opinion.".

  so i was just informed by my wife that her grandmother (who's also out) has been told by a 'sister' from her old hall that during their most recent circuit visit the co said something along the lines of:.

  isn't it faith strengthening that the number of anointed is falling in relation to the increase in publishers?

  My own daughter has much suffered; she will get justice in due time.

  just learned today direct from my beloved daughter that she has been abused between 5 and 12 years old by 2 brothers (her own cousins) and 1 family "friend".

  she has attempted suicide a few days ago.

  luckily she is living and she is not physically injured.

  Joined up August this year, lurked for 3 or 4 months prior to this.

  I'll be forever grateful to so many of you who've helped me and my wife on our way!

  With another little one on the way any day now, i'm relieved to think my children will be able to grow up without the restraints and restrictions that so many of us have had to deal with growing up.
