  i have a niece who is trying to get pregnant.

  she was telling me her husband had to go to a room with porn in it and masturbate into a cup to get tested.

  i never thought of this before but but how would a jw handle this.

  how would a JW handle this. ? If he takes his cue from Bethel he might just use a pillow ?

  Then again it might be whether he`s left or right handed ?

  Announcements and Reminders
  May 2020 S-147-E

  
  

  (Page 1, No.5 which continues on to page 2)

  5. { Read # 5 as above }

  Scenario :

  Family of faithful JW`s are going to sit in on a Zoom Videoconference Meeting in their own living room and have sought and are applying direction from H.Q./ Bethel ,in how to allow their 12 year old daughter to attend this family / congregation meeting in there own home as she was DF for smoking . If needed, the elders should remind him / her of when it would be appropriate to join and to leave such meetings.

  This is just so insane ,I cant believe I was ever so gullible to join this cult let alone stay there for 32 years .

  Batshit crazy goes nowhere near describing this lot ? the mind boggles.

  AUSTRALIA | 23 July 2020 - Jehovah’s Witnesses Kingdom Hall bomber found guilty by Supreme Court

  leonard warwick has been found guilty for a number of bombings committed during the 1980’s, including the family court bombing and the jehovah’s witnesses casula congregation kingdom hall bombing on 21 july 1985 which killed the public speaker, graham wykes, and injured 13 others.. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-07-23/leonard-warwick-family-court-bomber-found-guilty/12483286.

  side note: i have been closely following this story for 35 years now, including the past few years of supreme court hearings, much of which dealt with the jehovah’s witnesses kingdom hall bombing..

  I remember when news came through that a bombing had occurred in a Kingdom Hall and one person died and there were many casualties .Wondering what`s next ? And is this the prelude to what`s more to come ?And I was living in a different state back then.

  It wasn`t long before the JW rumor machine pinned the blame on the sisters unbelieving ex? husband for blowing up the family law court as well as the KH explosion.,because he was incensed at the courts ruling and the help his wife got from members of the Jehovah`s Witnesses.He was no friend of the JW`s at all.

  Sure, 35 years is a long time for justice to be served especially for the victims family members to wait.

  I guess the law at the time just did not have enough evidence to make the charges stick back then ,because I do believe he was on there radar for a very long time as a prime suspect.

  Maybe they have to sit at the back of the room and keep their mouth shut and other family members are t sit at the front of the room and every now and again give a sneering look at the DF or DA one just so they know there place.

  Isn`t there a couple if not a few contradictions in WT Theology in this video ? Doesn`t the narrator say that all of the Anointed ,the 144000 will by that time at the start of Armageddon be in heaven ? Didn`t they used to teach that some a small number will still be alive on earth after Armageddon ?

  How many times does Jesus take up the throne and start ruling as King ? In the first century ? In 1914 ?

  after Armageddon ? How many "King" hats does he wear?

  This one I could be wrong about , maybe my memory is failing me a bit now ,I was thinking that Gog of Magog appeared after the one thousand year reign of Christ Jesus when Satan was let out of his prison as a final test for humans before he was cast into the lake of fire and sulphur. ?

  from washington state to new york city to atlanta and california and so on, you see thousands of demonstrators trying to get rid of police, statues, monuments and anything they consider racially biased.. do you think this type of activity and destruction is working well for the country and it’s law abiding citizens?

  I know a lot of this got fueled by the killing of Gerald Ford but people need to refocus their frustrations and anger.
