I like the painting Coco though I`m not sure where blondie fits in with it ?
That clump of trees on the right reminds me of a Bison and the trees in the centre of the picture reminds me of a bird feeding her chicks in a nest ?
And I see a grape vine along the fence with a field of canola behind it .
I wonder what other people see in this painting eh?
Oh I forgot ,...a talented artist .

winston from jamaica with his excellent channel.

What ?, I counted 16 sites that challenge the JW religion and i`m sure there are many ,many more out their .
All from different parts of the world , the G.B. of the Jehovah`s Witnesses should be worried because if anything things are going to intensify over the coming months and years ,it is not going away by any means.
The writing is on the wall for the religion of Jehovah`s Witnesses today as we know it .
a criminal in nz- in this case a murderer - has the right not to be identified - even after conviction?
quote: "why was grace millane’s murderer granted anonymity?
the reasons for the so-called suppression order, like the name of the killer himself, cannot be given for legal reasons.
Gangs from immigrants are now taking over the streets of Melbourne making it an unsafe place to be after dark especially.
And if by any chance they do get a conviction its a slap on the wrist in most cases.
fear is used by politicians, marketeers, social scientists, military psy-ops tacticians and just about anyone who wants to manipulate or destabilize another.
to illustrate, look at this 1964 political ad by pres.
johnson against barry goldwater:.
The catholic Church and others use Hell fire as a means to intimidate people and Jehovah`s Witnesses use Armageddon to intimidate their followers.
quick glance.
the guy working the cart has a skinny suit.
i assume they stage things so where did the sports car come from?
A different take on the pictures as I saw it.

i am genuinely curious.
after all i was a jobo 50 years and thought the wbt$ was 100% correct.. i ask this because i see that, for example, christian denominations (or whatever), likely have differing interpretations of the same writing.
Obviously "Its In The Eye Of The Beholder"
Ethiopic Bible, 84 books
Eastern Orthodox ,76 books
R.C.Vulgate,73 books
Greek Orthodox,79 books
Protestants including the Jehovah`s Witnesses who have always protested against the Roman Catholic religion ,as just 66 books.
Or is it just another example of where on earth you happened to have been born ?
nobody responded so far on my previous thread.
no problem.
the last sentence i asked if you know of any doctors or lawyers, etc..that left the borg too?
If I remember correctly we had a female JW nurse at a hospital in the congregation I last attended over 27 years ago ,I would love to know if she still remained a JW .And this was in S.E.Qld. Australia.
in september 2019, the branch of jehovah’s witnesses and a number of kingdom halls in são paulo brazil were raided by the police, in search of documentary evidence of criminal activities relating to child sexual abuse.
the jehovah’s witnesses claim that the raid was unlawful.
below is a translation of the court of justice determination.
They will prolong it for as long as they can hoping that the Holy Spirit will put words in their mouth to defend them.
I saw this in the video of the ARC into Institutionalised Child sexual Abuse when an Elder was put under the spotlight ,and you could just see with the pauses to his response that he was waiting for the Holy Spirit to put words in his mouth .
And they never came..
It was almost embarrassing to watch.
i remember going door to door in the late 60's with my mother as a 5 or 6 year old.
one time she caught me looking at the wind chimes on a porch.
she told me they had pagan origins, were evil, and were somehow connected to demons.
It was further explained that only the name of Jehovah is a strong [watch] tower and into it the righteous run for protection
It still amuses me to this day about the religion and the name Jehovah .
In the first edition of the book "Aid To Bible Understanding" they admitted that the word Jehovah was not the correct pronunciation of God`s name and that Yahweh was probably the more correct pronunciation ,however they settled on the name Jehovah because it was universally more recognised as the most popular name for God in the world.
Excuse me ? On the one hand they claim Christendom is hiding Gods name from the public and on the other hand they say it is the most popular name among Christians ?
I do not know if they changed this in any revised versions of the "Aid Book " I would love to know.
smiddy
what were some of yours?
the big one in our hall was no frontal hugs!
these were generally thought of as inappropriate, only side hugs should be given between sisters and brothers.
During the years I was "in" a couple of times i tried to wear a beard only to be told it wasn`t for christians nowadays ,and later,
on another occassion I was told by an Elder that i was being a narcissist because you have to take so much time looking at yourself in the mirror while you are trimming your beard .?
I now have had my beard for 27 years and I think I would be lucky to look in a mirror once in a month ? to trim it ?
Update : I now get a couple of chicks at the hairdressers to give me a one all over # 3 head and beard every couple of months .
Its heaven .
