Mill Hill - Chelmsford, reduced capacity, any news on Chelmsford plan revision

by Lostandfound in

chelmsford looks to have much less work than in mill hill complex, if gb spirit guided why did they allow massive plans for new site when such significant changes must have been in discussion, planning , or contemplation.

knee jerk reaction to things looks to indicate someone or more on gb has instituted changes almost overnight.

my dog plans his day better, get up, walk, sleep, eat, walk some more, eat some more, and sleep again.

big news the printery going not a surprise though, I just cant see the facility housing 280, I reckon more than half that figure maybe more.

Witness Carts - A Vehicle for Significant Decline

by slimboyfat in

i was stalking to a jw today about her recent experience on the carts and with being a jw generally.

until this conversation i considered the carts as just an ineffective preaching method and a harmless waste of time.

but now i wonder if the effect of the carts might be to produce noticeable decline in jw numbers.

the so called "tried and tested" reason that the D2D was pushed for so ling because it kept the R&F busy is another myth as well, cracks had been appearing in this for decades,after the millennium of the 20th century came to an end I think it sealed its fate, how many times have we worked with anyone form ordinary publishers to hard nosed pioneers and called the entire thing off after a couple or even less hours because we were bored/hungry and thought it was simply a waste of our time.My own data of living away from the territory of my home town for over 20 years show that from 1995-2002 I was called on once by them yet more times by the Mormons who I requested they stop, from 2002- 2007 not one single attempt, from 2007-2012 nothing , from 2012 till now nothing so in over half a dozen different addresses in over 20 years I've been contacted once, a rather feeble attempt? not even a leaflet or tract has ever been dropped awaiting me as I entered, and I've resided in suburban, densely populated residential areas close to Greater London throughout all this time and still do, they are shrivelling up to absolutely nothing, wait for the carts to slowly disappear , they will.

the carts are great for people like ourselves to hit them with some anti witnessing , a quick mention of the ARC, their UN membership basic doctrine etc I never miss a chance, most of these Dubs could have been banging on D2D for years and never got an anti witness, they are sitting ducks! just think how much they would have been exposed to in the time they have had the carts out? another pointless plan from them that has backfired, they clearly have failed with the aim of what they were set out for, I still think they could be removed completely in the couple of years.

Kevin the WT anti-hero

by jookbeard in

maybe its a bit too early yet to gauge the fall out from the r&f about the sheer lunacy from the rc's "loyalty" videos, any reports so far?

these rc's clearly have pushed the boundaries of sanity even from them and it includes the truly sickening "disfellowshipping" video also.the only real result of these kind of insane video productions is that it will only haemorrhage more of their members didn't they learn from the sparlock the wizard videos?

clearly not, not too worry though kevin made the right decision.

Kevin the chap in the "loyalty" videos being shown at the RC's he perished at judgement day for leaving them

JW Broadcasting reeks of desperation

by oldskool in

again, i'm a decade removed from the faith.

i'm catching up now, and can't believe what i'm seeing.. i get that jw leadership faced a dilemma.

there is no intellectual apparatus within the faith.

jookbeard

never in my day either, a slide show public talk was ripped up black sacks stuck over the windows, how times have changed!

HTTPS (SSL security) Now Available

by Simon in

i've setup an ssl certificate so you can now use https to browse the site.

this creates an encrypted connection between your browser and the server which is more secure and prevents urls visited from being shown in router logs, content can't be eavesdropped etc.... there are also some performance benefits but they won't kick in until i make some more changes.. consider it experimental for now but at some point it will likely automatically redirect you to the secure version of a page.. you can try it by adding 's' to the http part of any address or just goto the home page and browse from there (some mixed content means you may not get the fully green https status in your browser just yet though).. let me know if you have any issues using the site..

good work, and even more satisfying to know that lurking jw's can have that extra peace of mind when they visit on here

thanks WF I just watched the entire 27 mins of this delusional psychotic crap, the insanity/lunacy runs even far deeper watching the whole lot of it, I see the scripture of Ps 27;10 is referenced multiple times during the video, its clear jeehoabah god does not have too much time or interest in protecting child victims of sodomy,rape and other types of disgusting abuse, yet blesses the ones that simplify their lives,have negative thoughts, watch a bit of porn on their mobile phones,dont respond well to council, or maybe get too close to worldly workmates, truly sick.On a more lighter note Elaine is wonderful, incredibly hot, does anyone here know anything about her?

Orginal sin: Tree of knowledge of good and evil

by dreddie in

telling and knowing the truth.. it is your job to tell and know the truth and not be decived by the lies of satan.. believing this, you need the knowledge of what is good and evil.

because with the bible you believe you can know the truth.

where there is no knowledge of the truth and good and evil.

jookbeard

a lie from Satan? what happened was what he exactly said, the lie and deceit came from the creator.
