80 years ago Britain successfully repelled uninvited guests, who were determined to take advantage of the population and change the culture.
what is different now?

43On the current migrant crisis
by LoveUniHateExams inthousands of migrants have come to england this year, already beating last year's total.. some may have fled syria and other war-torn countries; others are economic migrants.. let me try to get my head around this phenomenon: migrants are relatively safe in france and other countries.
they then leave the relative safety of continental europe and risk their lives and that of their children by crossing the english channel in rubber dinghies.
there's just no fixing stupid, is there .

Millions now living will never die (orginally "may" never die) was the WTS lying
by blondie inthis was first said in 1918 and adjusted to "will never die" in 1920. of course, the wts taught that the anointed had to die to go to heaven; but there was no great crowd teaching then, so they were talking about all non-anointed people on earth.
the wts members were known as bible students then and had been expecting the end in 1914 and it was adjusted.
one date that was stressed at that time was 1925. so i think they idea was that people living in 1918 would be alive to see the end in 1925, which of course did not happen.

Rutherford has a different butt naked man embossed on its cover
DJ, the naked truth of that wt prophecy is, no matter what wt writers meant in 1918 (with the possibilities pointed out by blondie in the OP), for the prophecy to become true, wt has to come up with 2 million faithful proclaimers, reporting >15 minutes "service time" per month who are > 103 years old.
at next year's armageddon, 2 million 104 year olds; that means
25% of witnesses have to be that age.
did they not, some month ago stressed to concentrate " service" on old age homes?
or was the reason that is there where the estate money is?
naked ? the emperor has no clothes.

What happened to open minded neutral/balance ?
R 123: it is the R word, the right religion, to right all the wrongs at aRRRmageddon,
the left stands for lawlessness, lax, lewd behaviour, looting, so, unsurprisingly,
the site members lean to the right, and:
the universe is ruled by law.

A little off topic... I'll be moving...
by Expanded-Mind ini'd appreciate getting some opinions about a decision i will shortly have to make.. i am moving soon and have the choice of two different apartments in two different towns.
i am hoping this move will be one of the last that i have to make - i have moved frequently in my life - at least for a long, long while.. the apartment i like the least is in a town and a location that i love due to my history with, and connection to the area.
the apartment i love is in a town and location i am not as crazy about, but it is still a really nice area.

EM: that sounds ominous. Do you still believe in the "soon" theory, the corner of the apartment building of your choice that armageddon is lurking?
consider most of all the people that will surround you. the medical personnel, the family support. or lack of it. If you still "associate", be aware that there are truly toxic tyrannical congregations out there, trashing gorgeous landscapes. -

Splane's "Apostate" talk transcript
by FFGhost infor any who can't (like me) muster the masochism necessary to sit through an 18-or-so hour commentary on a 30 minute talk from a certain famous/infamous commentator, here is a link to a transcript from splane's saturday afternoon "apostate" talk:.
https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/ot7z2e/splanes_apostate_rant_transcription/.
there are many topics worthy of consideration, but this particular section really stood out to me:.

D.S. : "You get involved in the forum, and you blow off steam, and after that, you feel better."
FFG: as the man said, "let off steam." keep it up, steam cleaning the wt
then, when all the fluff is gone, with reality laid bare, you have a foundation.

D Splane defined wt critics with tenuous ties to wt, some of the kind of people that post here, --- as " letting of steam" . so let them have it, full bore,
steam clean the wt.
other topics are welcome too, if that fulfills you , of course.

Tesla went back to the drawing board for an economy car\
jd. I would like them make a very simple model, no power this and that, no assists, except power steering, brakes. a clock, but no radio, gps etc.
not a living room on wheels, but wheels just for the pure pleasure of driving, like my skateboard.
that should bring the price down.

Auto Unions
simon, when I saw the headline, I first thought of this:

two of the lower images picture my 2nd pioneer car, a 4 circle DKW. The circuit overseer admonished me to slow down, when elderly sisters grab the panic handle.
True conversation: while driving. passenger to me: "Brother xyz, do you believe in the resurrection? "--yes-- "very well , so do I , but nevertheless, please slow down".
I hear electric cars have unparalled acceleration, quietly.

Don’t Trust the Courts! Splane’s Latest Anti-Apostate Talk
by StephaneLaliberte indavid splane’s talk “put up a hard fight for the faith” was that last talk presented on the saturday of the annual convention.
this talk was to largely address apostates and restated ideas and arguments often presented before.
however, this year, watchtower is spending more time in disqualifying negative findings originating from secular courts and here is the segment of interest here: .

The way the Watchtower handles judgement is ---------THREE ELDERS, IN A SECRET MEETING, USUALLY AT NIGHT------WITH NO ONE TO REPRESENT THE VICTIMS
pp. right on, and you will not find a more prejudiced 'jury' that that trio/tribunal, and no recording allowed.
