To a degree Wake me up is causing divisions in opposition to Jehovah so she will have to be put adjacent to the hippopotamus.
That's my angle on it anyway.

this post is for the lurking dub.

the pimc (physically in, mentally confused) lurker dub.

the guy who reads the watchtower stuff and scratches his head, sure something is amiss but not sure of what’s really happening.. it may also be of some interest to those curious of the nuts and bolts of watchtower’s methods of scripture twisting.. in tonight’s “digging for spiritual gems: (8 min.

Excellent synopsis LMS. I always found this lame explanation troublesome.
And PIMC - we have a new and brilliant acronym. So accurate for many at the KH

I dunno Simon - I just don't see pro-Islam lies and propaganda in Abaddon's posts. I see a well put point of view that is pro-moderate and anti extremist.
Cofty puts a well reasoned point of view too in that Islam is the religion presently used by most extremists to foment their evil.
I believe that British money spent on schools (e.g.) in Pakistan (e.g.) is one of the best ways to spend foreign aid. And with the British background I believe we should spend on foreign aid especially in ex empire countries we have had strong links with. Also building relationships through common sports such as cricket is good too.
I also believe that any religious extremist that kills or threatens to kill should be dealt with severely. Life imprisonment and death penalty included.
Also that anyone (in general terms) who is in a western country illegally should be immediately returned to their country of origin. If they come back then they should be imprisoned for a year before being sent back. Come again and caught then (say) five years.

I couldn't take it anymore, although still in because of my wife, I did this...

i dressed up in a hoodie, double layer so that the cameras at the kingdom hall couldn't recognize me.

i looked in the mirror up and down so i knew that the cameras, at least at the angle that i knew couldn't see my face.

i took this disassociation letter, stuck it in the envelope, labeled it, "(congregation's name...boe" by hand and sealed it.

What's the situation with your wife LTPF? Any change in her view?

yesterday i drove passed a town a couple of hours from my home and saw this kh under construction.

this is the first new design kh i've seen in washington state even though i would think by now another one or two have been built.

maybe not with their financial situation being the way it is.

What a ghastly looking building!
It looks like a war-bunker.

When WWII ended, how difficult was it for the JW's that had been in prison to adjust?

my husband seemed to have a hard time..

Nice to have you posting Sobeit, make another post and tell us how you got our 50 years ago - it will be most encouraging.
Now, assuming you are in the USA or the UK/AUS/NZ/CANADA then it would be very difficult because you were in a nation that "won" and that had the feeling it was fighting a "righteous" war. My father was in the forces in WW2 before he became a JW and he said he felt he was doing the right thing to defend the nation from and destroy the Nazis. One of my neighbours growing up fought the Japanese in Burma and his hatred was very deep for the enemy.
If your husband was a JW jailed for being a conscientious objector then he would have felt that although he was doing the right thing but everybody else (neighbours, workmates, even siblings or cousins) would have looked down on him as unpatriotic or even a coward or traitor).
Obviously it takes a certain courage to stand up and not go to war and face court, condemnation and prison. But in WW2 - especially in the UK, the nation (plus the empire) was alone against Hitler, facing bombing and U Boats for a year before Russia then America became involved. So other decent people would view you as a traitor.
After the war you might be talking to those who lost or had maimed a brother/son/daughter/sister from enemy action who would take a very dim view of your "cushy" life and survival.
Hope that makes sense, Sobeit.

Absolutely priceless! Keep up the good work Kevin McFree.
I'm convinced humour and embarrassment (for WT drones) is what will get through to so many PIMI JW's and give ammunition to PIMO's and young ones.
You have a PM.
