Perhaps the reason why the Liverpool Echo newspaper social media feeds don't include links to the paedophile JW sentence is because...
by Isambard Crater in...the liverpool echo arena is the regional convention venue for the north west of the u.k (also holding manchester's r.c this year after the grande concert bombing).
or am i just being cynical at this coincidence?.

Great. Like the Concentration Camps, it seems Corona Virus is boosting not reducing the Jehovahs' msg?
by Isambard Crater intheir official web site says that national television stations and radio stations in africa were happy to broadcast the memorial and even other talks!!

Synonyms of the word pioneer include discoverer, innovator and architect, but...
by Isambard Crater in... in the j.w's it means to spend 50 or 70 hours each month in wasted time, perhaps stood at a cart that nobody pays attention to..

Today's Watchtower did have some nice bits in it but hang on...
by Isambard Crater in...in the section where it said unselfishly loving people don't draw attention to themselves but do things anonymously, the thought came to me about why at the conventions do they announce "and now a talk from brother x who has served as an elder and pioneer for twenty years"?
some say it's encouraging but i have never felt that way..

Has Philippians 4 versus 6 and 7 actually helped anyone?!
by Isambard Crater inif i received a dollar for every time an elder had told me to read and meditate on this scripture over the years, i would be really wealthy.
maybe when i was a kid, scriptures like this made me feel a little bit better, but once i had learned ttatt and also lost my faith in god, or at least the borganization's version of god, scriptures like phil 4 versus 6+7 do nothing for me, but they are always, always quoted in public talks about depression, or during shepherding visits..

Possible to watch the Chelmsford Bethel update video online
by Isambard Crater ini saw it at the meeting this week and was horrified at how corporate and commercial it was, plus all the tourism stuff like kids getting photos with caleb and sophia, so wondered if it's possible to download or at least view again online somewhere?.

Jehovah doesn't want anyone to die + draws people?!
by Isambard Crater inif the two scriptures i have in mind about him not desiring anyone to die, and drawing those he wants to be his people, how come he draws so very, very few, especially in the western world?
it's like he hardly wants anyone, judging by the one or two he "draws" into u.k congregations every couple of years.
#confused.

GDPR - blood aspect and also this forum
by Isambard Crater ini'm p.i.m.o but decided to sign the g.d.p.r form to prevent raising any red flags with the elders.
i may even use the g.d.p.r rules in the future to ask for my data, as the elders have refused to give me a copy of judicial letters from the brand about me in the past.
is this dodgy or did they have grounds to withhold the brand letters about me?.

If Christians are required to be willing to die for one another, the ransom wasn't such a big deal, because...
by Isambard Crater in...jesus was raised 3 days later to a wonderful position in the heaven and now reigns as king, apparently.
but if a christian died for a fellow believer, which they regularly tell us from the platform that we should be prepared to do, the person who gave their life would be 'dust' for goodness knows how long, with an unknown future hope.. if someone asked me to die a painful death to save millions of people, knowing i would feel great in a few days' time, i'd probably do what jesus did too..

Very interesting radio programme on what truth is
by Isambard Crater inan excellent listen, talking about jesus' reply to pilate when he rhetorically asked 'what is truth?
', on how religions shape truth, on subjective and objective truth, and what propaganda is - which ties in nicely with july's watchtower article on it:.
