when i was a kid in the late sixties the type of books we would study was very intense compared to the bull shit pablum that they put out today?
i mean the finished mystery and others now its these stupid books that don't dive deep into the beliefs.
.
I remember being only 7yo and us all studying the Revelation book (first edition). I sat through every book study just looking at the pictures. That was a deep book... bullshit of course, but deep shit.
Now? It's all pretty pictures and rhetorical questions in big letters.
I dont see what a newly interested person could get out of it if they were looking for "deep bible knowledge". Even the study edition of the Watchtower is, literally, the same stuff we'd studied over and over but dumbed down.
i predict that in a year kingdumb halls will be replaced by zoom.
they will still have assembly halls but will charge a heavy entry fee.
baptisms will continue to be so low that would not be worth counting.
I still think there'll be a split within my lifetime. One of the GB or their helpers after this GB are dust will do a Rutherford and start printing their own shit and claim to be "persecuted" and start an off-shoot... which will be whitewashed as anyone who didnt follow him were apostates.
Any failed Watchtower predictions can be brushed off as "the GB were apostates".
The pattern is repearing itself:
1879: CT Russel - one man leading
1917: Board of directors leading
1918: JF Rutherford prints his own shit and breaks away. JW founded. One man leading.
1976: Governing body leading
Who is the most narcassistic of the helpers? Perhaps the guy with the glass, Gary Breaux.
unbelievable.
okay actually it's very believable.

The "Jesus was accused of being a glutton" comment was surely a reference to Tony the turd in his bottlegate video right?
Yeah, we fucking know he does mate.
or..as i remember the title..circuit servants wives.
but then i left 40+ years ago.. any recollections of those females that led such an unnatural existence?.
those that i recall seemed such aloof creatures..
I never used to bother with COs or their wives. They'd be flocked with their adoring fans the moment they turned up in the KH. Elders families usually were in their close circle.
My mother used to have the CO over for lunch every time. Was so awkward having to watch what you do and say in their presence. My mothers accent changing from Margy Clarke to Joanna Lumley the moment they're here. (UK members will get the reference).
Always found them fake and annoying.
just going by the topic titles you've been using these last few weeks.. do you think you can survive a whole four years with someone that's not exactly your favorite candidate?.
i know i'm in the minority from what i've been reading here, but i'm glad for the change!.
well, we all can't be satisfied altogether can we?.
Thanks Magnum for your reply. I understand what you're saying now.
I understand your point about paying for other people's babies. I wouldn't swap our NHS for anything though. We all use it here in the UK. And sure as hell gonna need it when I'm old.

All snarky comments aside. Can someone seriously explain to me what the appeal of Trump is/was? Because I can't get my head around how anyone managed to ignore his incoherent ramblings, making fun of a disabled reporter, refusal to denounce white supremacists, calling Mexicans rapists, bragging about molesting women etc etc etc
Genuinely seeking answers. Surely you wouldn't accept this stuff from Biden?

Joe Biden is a socialist?
idiot muslims do it again.
when will libtards learn.
and now scotland wants to prosecute people for saying things in their own homes the muslims deem hate speech.
I respect that people have a religion. But I don't respect religion. Especially not the Abrahamic ones.

given his age and weight, he is at very high risk of needing to be hospitalized.. trump is arguably the most well-protected man on earth, and he got it.. people.....wear a fruggin' mask!.
Oh I see. So that makes it a Ok then. I guess that lesson I learned when I was five about two wrongs was a hoax as well.
Making an insensitive comment about McCain a few years ago is reason enough for him and his Wife to contract a potentially deadly disease?
I like this stuff. I really get it… every one of these doctors said, ‘how do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability.
Supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way.

This is the best news I've had all year. Lets hope he takes his own advice and injects disinfectant into himself.
For a cleaningAbsolutely disgusting comment.
Na, this one is far worse:
“He’s [McCain] not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”
