  Kingdom Hall sales - A question?

  by no-zombie in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  a little while ago, comments appeared here about the sale of about 3000 halls and an american boe letter sent discussing a while sweeping congregational reorganization.

  does anyone here have a copy of that letter or written proof of plan to downsize, that they are willing to share?.

  Facial Hair

  by new boy in

  since i have been out for seventeen years what is the currant society policy concerning beards and mustaches.. in the sixties and seventies facial hair was forbidden at bethel if you white.

  if you were black you could have mustache but no beards.

  so obviously you could not be elder or pioneer if you had a beard.. any updates?

  Cart Anti-Witnessing - Best Approach I've found on YouTube So Far

  a pastor lovingly approaches a jw.

  granted the jw is not that that willing, knowledgeable or eloquent.

  but he does succeed in getting her to open up.

  This guy is good. The only thing I have a problem with is that he believes there is an all knowing, all seeing "God".

  ... well, obviously not rey (daisy ridley) from the latest star wars films.

  she's a complete mary sue.

  but, before hollywood tried to force sjw propaganda down our throats, there were lots of powerful, legit female characters in film.. here are some of my favourites .... ripley (sigourney weaver): i though this character was great.

  Pioneers, Prayers and Pills

  by Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho in

  2. medical

  looking back on my two decades as a jehovah’s witness, i’ve come to realize how the constant theme of endurance is playing a detrimental role on the individual's psyche.. jehovah’s witnesses have become far too good at keeping going.

  they’re experts at surrendering to the demands of the watchtower, living up to what’s expected of them, and getting on with the priorities that those in power have defined and imposed upon them.

  they keep showing up, presenting themselves a dutiful pioneer or ministerial servant.

  We weren't build for being in a constant "state of war". It has to give eventually.

  Very well written.

  I've often told the story that about 20 years ago, I took the time to take an inventory of the ones seated at a weekly meeting. As my eyes moved around the K-Hall, I made mental notes as to who I knew that were either on anti-depressants, or were suffering some new stress related ailment. Virtually every family had an individual, or more dealing with it.

  It hasn't changed. Just more new ailments. So sad.

  We bought a pipeline that leaks like a sieve

  by hoser in

  2. friends

  it looks like justin trudeau and his comrades caved in to kinder morgans artificial deadline and bought the transmountain pipeline for 4.5 billion taxpayer dollars.

  its not a bad deal if they actually finish the expansion.

  if not we just bailed out an american company and are on the hook for 4 and a half billion.

  Strange Justice

  by watson in

  my ex-god had an unusual sense of justice.

  you see, his human son broke the law.

  so, my ex-god thought there needed to be some form of justice.

  I think that's right, no?
