always makes me chuckle comparing a modern day dangerous high control group that has destroyed the lives of millions with a world wide child abuse cover up, and with thousands who have died needlessly due to an insane prohibition on blood in medical emergencies and have over a century of failed an false so called prophecies to The Israelite's and ancient Christians! madness!

In praise of Randall Watters
by nicolaou inexjw's of a certain age will remember randy's site well.
freeminds was instrumental in waking me up along with ray franz's books.
if net soup and armageddon okies mean nothing to you you're probably under 30.. whatever caused randy to post what he did recently is something i can only guess at but it won't be what i remember him for.. randy, i wish you well and thank you for all you've done over the years .

even pre interweb, Bethel Ministries made a huge difference in my leaving, I much preferred the old name as well, he even printed my testimony, I'm at a loss what made him post his issues with Barbara Anderson and I hope he can resolve it soon, he was a so instrumental in those early days and I must mention David Reed also

Now I'm Convinced There Probably Is No God
by pale.emperor inyesterday i made a visit to the museum in my city.
the top floor is the planetarium, which has a connecting room with a huge dome ceiling where they project lessons and lectures and you have a 360 view of the night sky etc.. this particular lecture explained about our galaxy, and how it's only one of billions in the universe.
and then we learned about each planet, some of their moons and the sun.

sounds like it could be a genuine social visit, you say they are a nice couple so it wouldn't ring too many alarm bells, it all depends if you can be bothered to entertain them and have to make an effort, TBH I couldn't be asked, when I was fading while my ex remained loyal I dodged every single "social" invite that she was purposely setting in the hope that it would reactivate me, it didn't. Also I knew I had to be very careful what I spoke about and if I was to say anything that was not of the party line I would be quickly reported, I cant bear such hypercritical superficial people. It sounds like your wife is just a sceptical about the visit as you are, so its probably best to do everything possible to keep them at bay, at the end of the day nothing beneficial will come out of such a visit and I expect you have far better things to be doing with your time.

102 years of 'kingdumb rule'
by eyeuse2badub inhappy new year to all.
well here we are, 2017, and still no armageddon, no 'great' tribulation', no 'paradise earth'.
however, the "good news" is that we can now celebrate 102 years under 'kingdumb rule'.

saw two of them today outside a superstore I sometimes go to, I thought I'll walk over to them grab a WT and exchange a few pleasantries , took the WT and said " I see your lot have been in the news a lot lately ( In was just about to mention the ARC) one of the ladies said "sorry we dont speak any English" they were obviously Eastern European but the were distributing English WT/Awakes, just goes to show what an utter waste of time it really all is, needless to say the WT was binned when I got home

good grief how many more congs can me squeezed into the existing KH's it tells me that meeting attendances are dwindling which is strange because for decades the congs in South East London have boomed and there was enormous growth, clearly not the case anymore, I see some of those congs disbanding , the Pekham KH surely cant take any more they have seven already which is lunacy, real estate prices in these areas are obscene, the WTS obviously realise it, the sales of KH's in Forest Hill and Deptord surprises me, not so much Erith and Sevenoaks

The God of The Bible Must be Stupid
by AnonVet ini don't mean to be blasphemous to the real god.
i just don't think the god of the bible is our actual god.

Your feelings for the former travelling overseers
by Hecce induring our wt life we met a good number of friends involved in the circuit and district work.
i am sure that we share the same experience and that we remember fondly some that we caring, loving and generally interested in the brothers.
at the same time we might remember others that were arrogant, selfish, abusive and oppressive.

to think I haven't spoke or crossed paths with a CO for almost 25 years, my feelings remain the same, Freddos words capture the feelings about them perfectly, "nondescript, predicable drones with unpleasant,unhelpful petty demeanour's" classic.
