friends

so, i'm quite excited but also slightly freaked out as i'm able to go this summer instead of next like i had counted on (my daughter graduates next year and i was planning to go then).

this means i'm doing this last minute and i wanted to see if any of you have used https://www.go-today.com or gateone travel or go ahead travel?.

i'm planning on london, paris and rome for two weeks, likely july at this point.

Not a biker myself, but my friend owns a BSA and Royal Enfield (there are evidently quite a few British bike fans in northern NJ). Beautiful bikes.

oh my goodness, i'm so angry i can't even speak!

"women who complained that former jehovahs witness elder jonathan rose, 40, had molested them as children relived their nightmares in front of him after he was released from jail".

This seems to be another instance of the "two judicial systems" Finland is inquiring about. . . .

Rare recorded MARKING TALK on APOSTASY

by Newly Enlightened in

we have a version with our commentary: http://youtu.be/yn17rj_pyd4.

we also have an un-cut, un-edited version of the audio: http://youtu.be/pihfucr38sw.

asl version: http://youtu.be/dd635pqpdle.

The elder actually says that ANYONE can be a threat to the cong.....

Wow, that's one hell of a belief system they've got going there. . . . . seems quite fragile if ANYONE can be a threat. Really? Your faith can't withstand WORDS coming out of someone's mouth? Amazing.

My Elderette is attempting to change the subject again

by Faithful Witness in

we were in the middle of discussing their use of god's personal name, and miss k was not able to find one place in the bible, where jesus actually said the name out loud (that wasn't a quote from the ot).

we had started out by talking about jesus being "the way, the truth and the life.

" then she stated that one of the purposes of jesus' coming to earth, was "to make god's name known.

Interesting discussions you're having! Thanks for posting them.

BTW, this:

Miss K sent me a text, telling me she was "thinking of me."

will undoubtedly be marked down in the "Return Visits" column of her FS report.

She probably didn't even have to leave bed for that one!

JWs in a frenzy!

by leaving_quietly in

anyone else get the distinct impression that jws are being worked up into a frenzy with all the changes and activity nowadays?

by the end of august, there will have been four campaigns inside of a year.

one last november, a memorial campaign, a convention campaign and an advertise jw.org campaign.. then there's the conventions with all the hooplah around that with all the video, and the aggrandizement of synchronized gb talks.

I guarantee this is item is at the top of the Governing a Body's agenda every week:

HOW DO WE CONFUZZLE THEM FOR ANOTHER MONTH?
