great to hear SA that you've moved on and life is treating you well since leaving the evil cancer, it really is the best way of living (outside of the cult of course!)

it really is on its last legs, the end isnt coming, they know it, they have huge financial issues, these goons are mere spokesmen for the real paymasters pulling the strings who are not JW's in any shape or form, far worse is to come, I give it less than 10 years, more KH and Branch sell offs, they are unrecognisable to most of us just imagine what they will be like in a few more years time!

keep up the work, never ever pass a cart by to either take the rags and dispose of at a later date and of course to anti witness, you will find yourself becoming very good at it.

shocking state of affairs,culminating in absolute betrayal by your own family, a lesson for everyone, dont leave your computer unlocked or unattended, hope things improve buddy and things straighten themselves out with your little girl who you must adore, I left and my wife stayed loyal to them we never had kids though, good luck.

I conclude evolution is guided
by KateWild inyour qualifications are way above mine so i'd love to hear more about the specifics of what you have researched and how that supports the existence of a deity.
k99, i am not really convinced that you're interested in my conclusions.
in nature amino acids formed to then form dna.

shame when abuse and insults start in the thread which held some excellent contributions, Cofty is the last person I'd class as narrow minded FFS, his explanations and easy well thought coverage of this subject over the years have opened the "narrow minds" poor form and I expected better from you, dislikes from me and deservedly so.

" you will never grow old..."
by mrquik in" you will never grow old..." a more grievous lie is hard to imagine.

i heard it many times after that.

I could handle the prospect of hitting high school I was 13 in 1979 but the prospect of leaving school and going into the workplace was utterly preposterous, then I was sucked into the end coming by the end of the millennium, the "promises" to be fulfilled by the end of the 20th century, of course the promises were all lies and bullshit, 1986 was The International Year of Peace, nothing happened the millennium celebrations came and went, I was out by 1993, my waking up had started and my research showed me they have plenty of form in regards to failed "end times." Its now 2016, over half way through the year, the worlds population is over 7.3 billion, and their membership is dwindling and even more and more of the billions alive on the earth dont have any idea about their stewardship of preaching the global message of the kingdom, pathetic.
