here it is ,the end of a year and a new one starting tomorrow.. i do not want to reflect on the bad the year brought us ,but thankfully i will move into the new year glad that i am still here to enjoy the good things in life that are still here .. though i've had some personal bad stuff happening like all do from time to time i did have things to be thankful for ,like my loving partners support and a wonderful christmas visit with my daughters family and grand children.. i had to plan my driving trip to queensland in between covid shutdowns but this made it more exciting and helped me to see i should not take family for granted.. so i'm thankful for the good the year brought and yet sorrowful for those in the world who had bad things happen.. that's the stuff of life and sometimes it's worse for a while and then change brings better times.. i don't believe the strike of clock will bring change but what we do in our lives will ,i've made bad decisions that have lbrought life long change for bad but i have made some for good.
some things from outside will bring change ,like covid ,but it is how we handle things that really matters for the future.. the one big thing i am thankful for is getting insight from this wonderful site that helped me see what the disgusting watchtower org is in reality , and over the years have seen thru others here how they broke the clutches of a cult of liars.. so thank you all and hope that the future brings some happiness as well ,agong with the sorrow and especially to all the ozzies on here.
Thanks for that wozza ,today we are presently having a visit from my grandson and his partner and their two young daughters 13, and 10 year olds and we are having a wonderful day .
So I`ll close now as we have some serious drinking and feasting to do ,
it is a response to a letter i received to explain god`s kingdom and to refer me to jw.org.
type written but signed personally.. and this page looks like it has been photo-copied.
so obviously he has sent many more around this community.. i intend to send this letter back with my hand written response as follows.
I received another letter tody from another JW ,i think that is the 3rd one in a month or so .
This one from a different person who signed her name and gave me an email address to write too.
{The name of this person is the same as my SiL `s freind when my SiL lived here years ago.
If it is she would be getting on by now and maybe rember us when we lived here in the mid seventies.}
Which I will do when I sort out what I will put in it. It also had the theme What is god`s kingdom.
I`ll vary the subject to what I replied to the other JW.

I have posted the letter today and wonder if I get a response I signed my name but never gave an adress or phone number .I`m in a regional area that only has about 6000 people and every one knows everboy else just about.
My niece who now lives away and is still active I beleive that she would have told them that as a family we were very involved in the religion,though we never got a shepherding call and we have lived here for the past 13 years.
Before that we lived interstate
Maybe a visit is just around the corner .LOL
some say according to polls that it has affected it in a positive way.
not much you can do when in quarantine so this passes the time, right?
lol .
Old age is a bugger. Its amazing what you can do, soaping your man boobs over in the shower, thinking of GOD and Cunt`ry !
Edit : Christ did I really say that ?
convention.
jehovah—the source of true courage.
here is samuel herd on the subject, ''the source of true courage.
I remember reading about those times in Quebec and the trials JW`s faced in the 60`s.When I first came into the "struth" as I now refer to it.
this new lawsuit continues to compound undeniable evidence that jehovah’s witnesses is keener in monopolizing "the truth" or making "kingdom assets" an exclusive right, so that they can interests of their "king, jesus christ".
it is clearly evident also the they are willing to fight for frivolous and materialistic rights they believe they are entitled to, but when it comes to child sexual abuse issues and their role, they certainly love to twist and hide behind law, to escape blame and responsibility.. below is the full text from https://avoidjw.org/en/news/watch-tower-bmg-music/.
the court documents are also available for download in the aforementioned link.. further commentary can also be found on watchtower sues bmg rights management over aled jones song.
hoser ,maybe it wont be long before "that" guy will be posting on here ?

How true that is , and we are nearing the deadline for the JW religion to join up to the Redress scheme of the Australian Royal Commission 31/12/20
Failing to do so will bring reproach on Jehovah`s name and the Organization JW.Org. in the wider Australian Community.
They will be publicly named and shamed ,.
LOL ,if I get what you mean? And Arnies got a thumbs up as well.
this short video contains a few quotes from the wt that may help loved ones wake up a bit.
i thought it was pretty well done.
i wish the title wasn't so "in your face", but rather eased into it a bit more discreetly.
the 2020 report has been out for a few days.
2020 grand totals.
branches of jehovah’s witnesses: 87. .
The partakers at the Memorial were supposed to be getting fewer and fewer as time went on and when I left about 27 years ago there was only about 8,000 partakers worldwide.
And now their is over 21,000 ?
What a joke .
in a video on the jworg website, governing body stephen lett says that as of december 20, 2020, 7,500 jws have died from covid-19.
strangely enough, the cult never mentions the number of jws who die from refusal of blood transfusions each year… hypocrite..
Welcome to the forum GregW
You would think turning yourself into human sacrifice for Jah would make honorable mention in the Borg ?
Do you remember the Awake magazine drawing attention to the 26? youths that died refusing a blood transfusion . Hailing them as martyrs ?
I`m surprised they would draw attention to that number for the reasons previously given .
Maybe some will start to think ,why weren`t they protected if we are living in the last days ?
Am I not protected ?
