If Ever GB Members Deserved To Be Thrown in Jail It's When ...
by smiddy3 init was when the governing body started to disfellow-ship jehovah`s witnesses from taking blood transfusions in an effort to save their lives .. resulting in many hundreds if not thousands of needless deaths of men women and children who by this coercion died from this doctrine.. and to this day they still go unpunished .

True, no one put a gun to your head and forced you not to take medical treatment. But that line of reasoning works only for free people, and maybe PIMO or ex-JW.
PIMI JW have a permanent spiritual gun pointed to his forehead all the time. And that weapon has more power than any physical one. Just because that gun isn't physical, it is still the real thing and presents a real power to real believer. And people who threaten others with that weapon aren't guiltless.

GB of JW fights legal battles for decades for rights to personal choice of medical treatment, yet to forbid same to their members. That should be punishable by the very same principles they use to fight their legal battles.

Could end of November be special?
by Kosonen indid you know that noah entered the ark in the end part of november and also that jesus' followers flead jerusalem around 25th of november 66ce?.
could it be that a significant group of jehovah's witnesses would begin to flee to the "wilderness" in the end of november?
revelation 12 speaks about a flight of a symbolic woman to a wilderness.

... or about your enslavement or the torture shots, or about having the whole Third World brought into the country (and natives or legal residents being displaced from their homes), and you get severe penalties. (Including getting your head chopped off.) Even attempting to search for anything that goes beyond what they want you to think results in fines, jail time, or even death.

What Is Truth?
by minimus injust because you believe something as truth, it doesn’t make it truth.
religious leaders may be admired and believed but they could be dead wrong.
politicians can spout out “facts” that support their truth yet once further evidence comes through these facts are questionable.

What is the truth, depends often on the domain.
Example: Does Sun rise every morning from the east, and set every evening on the west? Yes or no?
Yes. That is what we witness everyday. We use that fact to time-space orientation since ever (because our dwelling is limited to surface of the Earth, but that wasn't the question).
No. Sun doesn't "rise" or "set". It is the Earth which rotate around its axis (scientifically correct fact, but mostly useless and ignored in everyday life).

Has anyone still in or otherwise heard anything about JWs think we only have 12 months before Armageddon?

anyway, i saw a video last night my saying jws think we only have 12 months left before armageddon so thought maybe this is the reason for changes attitude.

Friend Is Worried About My “Mental Health”...lol
by minimus inone of my tennis friends who happens also to be a nurse, told me today that he is concerned about my mental health because i support donald trump.
i believe he got shafted but i also recognize that very little will probably change regarding his being re-elected.
this man voted for the “green” candidate and said he personally agrees with most of trump’s views but he thinks he’s morally corrupt.

Maybe, in the future, all electional dilemmas could be judged at tennis court?

I studied Russian 40 years ago in elementary school and I can still read it easily! I understand maybe a half what I read, after decades of absence. Started with English some years later :) Is there any non-official JW or exJW site like this one, where people exchange their own experiences?
