This is the Arena that is used by the witnesses for their summer convention. It's also where my mother will be going in a couple of months time.
As for the cry of banning Islam, don't we realize this is exactly what the governments of the world want. By that I mean we are not heading for the global ban on religion, as we were taught. Rather the more we cry ban this ban that, the more our governments are given powers to tighten the grip on the unsuspecting citizen. In other words, we are handing these powers to the government on a platter.

Nah, their not going to be needing urine samples, they will all be microchiped eventually. Of course, this will be so the elders can better monitor the flock when the GT starts.

Sanderson's hate speech
by Listener ingb member sanderson has given a hate speech in response to the recent russian ban.
it was given as a morning worship rant.
sanderson sports his usual smirk.. he opens up quoting matthew 10:22, 23 about persecution.

Of course those in New York are going to turn this into a clear case of persecution. The ban in Russia, and the subsequent rolling out of your average pick and mix governing body member is inevitable. It's called damage control.
So far, all I've witnesses is another western influence being banned in Russia. In my opinion, the Russian government did the right think by banning Jehovah's witnesses and calling it extreme. Just because the watchtower organisation hasn't pulled a Jim Jones, or a David Koresh ( although the latter was actually the American special forces that caused the deaths of his followers at Waco by storming the building and settings fire to it) doesn't mean it's any less dangourous. In fact, I would argue that recent events, and the reaction to this decision has actually exposed the extreme nature of the watchtower, and some of its followers.

This blogger has asked me to show evidence of his/her hatred, only for this blogger to use the age old psychological trick of projecting onto the accusers. So I have duely replied to this blogger with examples of the hatred this blogger uses. Such as labelling those who do not agree with his/her religion.
I urge everyone to have a gander over, as the comment in question may eventually be deleted.

Since the name Jehovah was invented by a monesterial servant (otherwise known as a Monk) then yes anything is possible. However, as you clearly made a typo (nobody is perfect Outlaw 😜) then I believe in the extreme case there is no elder to conduct the watchtower study, then a ministerial servant will have the "privilege" of taking said watchtower.
Failing that, it will be a member of the opposite sex doing a fine impression of a Arab citizen. Wearing a tea towel (probably sourced from the kitchen area) on her head.

Still Contaminated After All These Years
by new boy inthe contaminantion of years of being a jehovah witness.. it's interesting to see in myself and in many others here how no matter how much we want it or wish it, we will never be able to erase all of the mental contamination.
in one way or another it will always be a part of us.. i've had many friends that have been out for many years say "well i can't do that it just wouldn't be right.
" yes they are still judging themselves and others.

So am i, although it has only been two years for me. I'd like you to think of something here. Remember JWs saying you can leave Jehovah, (the organisation) however Jehovah never leaves you! When I was fully indoctrinated, I thought this to be Jehovah always trying to draw you back. Now I'm out, I see this as being more sinister.
The Watchtower are extremely good indoctrination, they know exactly what to use psychologicaly - ""If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it" Joseph Goebbels - The Watchtower are big on repetition for emphasis, see the correlation here?
In short, the Watchtower instilled in us some very powerful teachings, we were programmed to think differently from the world, we were told that the only shelter from the wicked world was being at meetings regularly, and of course, field service, we were told that if we did not do this, then Jehovah would be very angry with us. We could also be classed as blood guilty if we did not go in service. Imagine how powerful these words are.
There are so many things wrong with the teachings of the Watchtower. Instead of it being a spiritual paradise, it is more akin to spiritual abuse. We were abused mentally, That does not go away overnight.
I should mention I am now seeing a CBT therapist, I, like yourself have reached the limit. But do not ever give up. There was a video recently on how the Watchtower programs us, even when we have left. They install a self destruct button in us all. This can work in severel ways. It can manifest in us crawling back with our tales between our legs, which is their ultimate goal. As with any abusive relationship, the abuser will always use this against us. Or (sadly) as with many who have left and got lost in this perceived scary world we could end it all. Another win for the Watchtower. Or we can find our map and plot a way out, this may include many hours of therapy, but isn't this worth it.
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”– Mahatma Gandhi

SCOTLAND: Livingston Kingdom Hall
by darkspilver ini think this deserves it's own thread, so as not to get mixed-up tl;dr - go to the bar charts at the end...picking up on jambon1's comments:.
the one in the op - livingston, was a merge to the newly built assembly hall in the same area.
i think three congs share that building now.. nice wee scoop up of the cash from the sale of livingston and whitburn.

They used to use DG1 in Dumfries for our assembly days, then they built Livingston Assembly hall. I have only ever been there once, have to say, I was seriously underwhelmed by the building.
