Allowing him to stay or even give him an opportunity to stay, sends two messages one for the influential money makers and another for the average citizen.

Tennis Controversy in Australia
by smiddy3 inapr 20, 2020. novak djokovic sparks a backlash after publicly opposing the covid-19 vaccine.
he says: “personally, i am opposed to vaccination, and i wouldn’t want to be forced by someone to take a vaccine in order to be able to travel.”.
asked by sky news australia anchor danica de giorgio why djokovic was granted the visa in the first place, the home affairs minister said: “they’re entirely separate processes”.. “to gain entry to australia you need both – you actually need the visa, which is determined quite separately, and then you have to meet the entry requirements,” she said.. “i know that people are putting the two issues together, but the visa application process and the granting of a visa is very separate to the additional entry requirements that every traveller needs to meet to be able to enter australia.”.

Apr 20, 2020Novak Djokovic sparks a backlash after publicly opposing the Covid-19 vaccine. He says: “Personally, I am opposed to vaccination, and I wouldn’t want to be forced by someone to take a vaccine in order to be able to travel.”
Asked by Sky News Australia anchor Danica De Giorgio why Djokovic was granted the visa in the first place, the Home Affairs Minister said: “they’re entirely separate processes”.
“To gain entry to Australia you need both – you actually need the visa, which is determined quite separately, and then you have to meet the entry requirements,” she said.
“I know that people are putting the two issues together, but the visa application process and the granting of a visa is very separate to the additional entry requirements that every traveller needs to meet to be able to enter Australia.”
Djokovic has launched legal action against the pending deportation with the Federal Circuit and Family Court set to sit again on Monday after receiving submissions from both parties.
IMHO I think he should have been sent back on the first plane outa here. Allowing him to stay or even give him an opportunity to stay, sends two messages one for the influential money makers and another for the average citizen.
Either abide by the rules and regulations or suffer the consequences .
Everybody else has to. Why give him "special privileges"
Any tennis fans following this story ?

David Splane...''Put Up a Hard Fight for the Faith''
by RULES & REGULATIONS indavid splane comes out firing and is relentless as to the reasons why christianity was brought down.
christianity was not broken down by persecution, but by false brothers and apostate teachings.
today, jehovah's witnesses face the same danger from false brothers and apostates.

They need to be worried .

The Big Lie JW`s Tell The Courts !
by smiddy3 inimho, its the one rodney spinks and terry o`brien parroting the governing body direction is that when somebody leaves the religion whether they just fade ,disassociate or even get disfellowshiped ,then they are in fact shunning all members of all congregations worldwide including family and friends ,.according to their testimony at the arc.. this is a blatant lie and misrepresents the truth,.and they know it.. when a person leaves the religion for whatever reason they are rejecting the governing body`s teachings ,doctrines and practices of the religion of jehovah`s witnesses and not all peoples associated within the congregations.. especially not family and friends who they may have long standing relationships with.. they try to shift the blame and put the onus on those who leave.. shame on them for perpetuating such a lie..

IMHO, its the one Rodney Spinks and Terry O`Brien parroting the Governing Body direction is that when somebody leaves the religion whether they just fade ,disassociate or even get disfellowshiped ,then they are in fact shunning all members of all congregations worldwide including family and friends ,.according to their testimony at the ARC.
This is a blatant lie and misrepresents the Truth,.and they know it.
When a person leaves the religion for whatever reason they are rejecting the Governing Body`s Teachings ,Doctrines and Practices of the religion of Jehovah`s Witnesses and not all peoples associated within the congregations.
Especially not family and friends who they may have long standing relationships with.
They try to shift the blame and put the onus on those who leave.
Shame on them for perpetuating such a lie.

More cracks in the dam - WTS pleading for elders "in their early 20s"
by FFGhost ini have another post here about how the wts is reeling from covid, as reflected in their abysmally catastrophic service report:.
https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/6315842470936576/annual-service-report-yet-another-analysis-big-trouble-wts.
here's another rupture showing.. in the latest "announcements and reminders" to elders, there is a paragraph with these sentences:.
-

smiddy3
the Governing Body requests that all bodies of elders worldwide give priority to helping younger brothers grow in their relationship with Jehovah and qualify for congregation responsibilities.
It has been observed that in some congregations, few baptized brothers in their late teens and early 20’s are reaching out to serve as pioneers or ministerial servants. In some lands, relatively few young brothers are applying to attend the School for Kingdom Evangelizers, to serve at Bethel, or to assist in Kingdom Hall construction and maintenance.
Here ,the GB are admitting that a large number of younger people are turning away from the religion and are just biding their time till they are old enough to leave completely .
IMHO

1975 and so on.
by zachias inyes i was there.. when we were all told.. 1975 is the time.
i was new to the jw thing but i knew then "that no man knoweth the day nor the hour....".. https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5647286362177536/1975-on.

I knew JW hierarchy were not being honest about the 1975 prediction ,but did I leave then ? no , I didnt leave till about 1993 .
When you have allowed yourself to be indoctrinated for so long ? It`s hard to break free.
I didn`t know back then that this was the second time the JW`s had said 6000 years of human existance had lived on Earth ,there was a much earlier one .
Off hand i can`t remember when .
