morning-after drug - any members with thoughts?

by berrygerry in

internally, being a father of many children, and being present for ultrasounds and other testing, etc., i appreciate the value of life.. as i understand it, the after-morning pill essentially terminates a 1 or 2 day old conception.. are there any thoughts about this?.

I think it is an appropriate plan B - just in case.

"The Waters" of Jehovah are drying up in Australia...65% young ones leave!

by Witness 007 in

at the international convention last week i caught up with my old congregation and asked about the young ones...there were 2 answers.

1. they flat out left got a boyfriend etc.

and 2. havent seen them for awhile meaning they faded or went off the grid so as not to be disfellowshipped.

With the steady outflow of young ones the diehards are even more critical to sustain the illusion of a religion. This is a reason for the 1914 video - to placate the diehards and help them understand that their life of sacrifice is not for nothing (which we all know it was).

Car accident

by Clambake in

i was in a car accident in a fatality.

without going into detail i wasnt found in the wrong.

alcohol and poor judgement were involved with the other party.

I am sorry to hear. I knew of a "brother" who was involved in a fatal accident - that was not his fault. It was ver tramatic for his family and friends.

is the big show on 1914 at Service Meeting evidence of factions in the GB?

by Wasanelder Once in

sometimes the gb do end runs around each other, as when freddie franz didn't agree with the whole governing body concept and spoke against it at the gilead graduation.

could this video/demonstration at the service meeting tonight on why they believe in 1914 and how to explain it to others be an effort to bolster that belief because there is a challange coming against it by factions within?

i guess we can't really tell but i wouldn't put it past the boneheads running the society.

They still kinda need 1914. In 20 years it will be as irrelevant as say 1925, but now as long as the r&f that grew up with 1914 as the focus of their lives remain alive - they gotta keep 1914. One strategy that may be is that this is the last time anyone ever talks about 1914. If I were a betting man, my money will be on - this is the last you will ever hear of this asinine idea.

As long as you are alive you have the ability to re-make your image. I have been impressed with how Monika has coped many years post her "big mistake."

In your opinion: What is the average IQ of the Governing Body?

by LogCon in

i don't know if this question has been asked before,.

but, in any case,.

based on the comments of the governing body, at various conventions, annual meetings , info-mmercials, etcetara, etcetara, etcetera, [ i loved yule brenner in the king and i],.

I am not sure what it matters. They are smart enough to know how to get to the top, and dumb enough not to understand that their journey is meaningless.

Hilarious Rumor: Halloween falls on Friday the 13th for first time in 666 years.

friends

the date passed by already, so i will mention the silly rumor that was going around.

this is freaking hilarious.

the rumor is a gullibility joke where it is hoped that the reader fails to remember that this holiday observance is on the fixed date of october 31st.

Who ever started this rumor is dyslexic. But I do like the idea of microwaving my iPhone. The same trick works when trying to dry off your cat after it is bathed.

Who's the King of the North & South now?

by prophecor in

back in the old days i used to hear talk about these kings.

are they still teaching anything about these kings in daniel as it pertains to the " time of the end?".

NewYork44M

This is a question I always ask when someone says the end is so close - you gotta have the KON. How we all long for the days of the USSR when life was so simple. But alas, they are gone. i have never heard anthing official from the governing body who replaces the USSR.
