Reminder re: Spammers

by Simon in

just a reminder about spammers.. please ignore them!.

they are idiots, we have a real "gay-for-j" zealot right now who hasn't got the message that they are not wanted and no one is interested in their bible-fantasy gibberish.

there's a certain irony that their own site is covered in "don't spam" rules but they think it's acceptable to do it to others.

Dancing Cockatoo, Living His Best Life, a Lesson For All of Us

by Simon in

so this is a sad story, i believe the cockatoo was neglected after his owner died (relatives just kept it locked up and the cage covered) so it plucked its feathers.

the new owners rescued it and are giving it the care, love, and attention it needs.. they discovered that it loves to dance so they share these adorable videos of it rocking out.. it reminded me what a great lesson there is for all of us - don't wallow in the past, live your best life now and enjoy your new freedom and be happy.. be like griffi.. also, it has way better moves than me.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayos5kvlxn8.

Your heart just goes out to these little guys that are so neglected but are the joys of life .I just shared it with my wife and DIL and we all loved it.

I`m glad Griffi has some loving carers that takes care of him/her now.

Thanks for sharing Simon

Narrowly focused, sometimes illiterate

by vienne in

three of my sisters - there are five of us - were baptized as witnesses.

one of them has gone from reading voraciously to only reading her textbooks and watchtower publications.

this does not seem to be unusual among witnesses.

when Watchtower articles used such words as "revivify" (and we all had to consult the Oxford Dictionary to confirm that there was indeed such a word in the English vocabulary!)

.Our friends and I used to joke about having to look up the "Funk And Wagnalls" dictionary that was sometimes quoted to understand some words .

Was your faith in Armagedddon connected to current events?

by Wasanelder Once in

the big a was here some said.

Jehovah`s Witnesses are always looking for the negative happenings in society to validate their beleif in the end of this system of things .

They have always done this since the early 1900`s when they wer known as the International Bible Students Association. IBSA

About 140 years of failed prophecy`s ,predictions and expectations of what they predicted would come about and never did.

And funny enough New Light always follows their failed predictions .expectations.

WT Cover up regarding Child Abuse - Canada

by Uzzah in

the attorney general of saskatchewan .

1. no search warrant can be issued with regards to documents that are known to be protected by solicitor-client privilege.

(3) as to the issue of whether documents are "known" to be protected by solicitor-client privilege, there is now a presumption that lawyer's bills of account are prima facie privileged.

But they, the Jehovah`s Witnesses, do not have a clergy.or so I was told on many occassions.?

Will you be giving a 'Witness' when your name appears in the obituary?

by was a new boy in

'he remained faithful to jehovah up to his death.'.

i guess that means he never got in trouble with the elders.. .

'he enjoyed spreading the good news about god's kingdom and helping others...'.

smiddy3

He obviously didn`t think much of the GB`s view on higher education by the look of things .Maybe theirs a niche here to do an anti-JW-witness with an obituary ,nah I don`t think so.
