Recent Annual Meeting - Asking for Clarification
by truth_b_known inwould someone in the know please clarify for me some alleged comments given from the governing body at the recent/yet to be streamed for the rank and file annual meeting?.
it is my understanding that samuel herd basically tells the rank and file that old light is new light and the new light of july, 2013 is now old light.
to be specific, herd states that the official stance on whether or not the annointed remaining on earth, to include the governing body, will all be in heaven prior to armageddon.. at this same annual meeting tony morris iii tells those in attendance that stephen letts' statement that "we're living in the final part of the last days, undoubtedly the final part of the final part of the last days!

At this same Annual meeting Tony Morris III tells those in attendance that Stephen Letts' statement that "we're living in the final part of the last days, undoubtedly the final part of the final part of the last days! Shortly before the last day of the last days" may not be true. Morris goes on to state that it may be awhile before Armageddon gets here, we might not live to see it, but that's no reason to give up because "this is the best life."
It`s amazing how they ignore what the religion has said has prophesised ,indicated ,expected in 1914 , 1919 , 1925, 1939, 1975 ,2000 , and now they indicate it could all be in the distant future,?
Give me a break !!>>>>>>> If the R&F haven`t woken up to the shenannigans by now ,then I have little sympathy for them.
I say little sympathy ,because I do understand that elderly people who have put so much time and energy not to mention monetary investment into the religion over decades ,would find it very hard /difficult to abandon it now ,yet that is what they should be doing and cut their losses.
And live out the rest of their lives accepting our lot in life in freedom from dictates of men.

Didn`t they also proclaim or infer that Armageddon and the new system of things would take place around the end of the 20th Century ?
And by now we would be in the New System of things ?

Snowman at assembly hall
by road to nowhere ina few years ago i built a 6 inch snowman on a picnic table at the assembly hall.
just whimsy during lunch, no one was out in the cold.
i thought maybe some kids would get a little enjoyment.

There maybe about half a dozen (6) friends here that I exchanged cards with in the past that I don`t have a postal address that I can send a card to this year ,which I would like to do .
If you would like to receive a card from me just pm me your address and it will be done.
So far I only have eight (8) to send .
Anybody is welcome to receive one if they send me their mailing details.
Cheers, smiddy3
After all it is the season to be jolly .
Sheesh Gary, it shows by your photos, just how popular you are ,i`m envious.

Hi Gary ,i looked back at Xmas card exchanges i did a couple of years ago ? and have found 8 that I am going to send out tomorrow ,2 cards envelopes I have but with no user name or address to send to ,one was from Berlin ?and I don`t know who sent it. Another envelope was from Milwaukee who I have no idea who it was from.
If anybody wants to send one to me that hasn`t recieved one from me in the past your welcome to do so .
Just remember to also put your address details down and how I can recognise you from this forum .
Your on my mailing list Gary .
I have a photo of two lovey guys on a card that might have been from the Berlin envelope but no user names and no address to send back. Both had beards and could be Spanish / Italian ,I have their names and if it was you pm me.

Funniest insults
by LoveUniHateExams inso, i was wondering what are the funniest insults i've heard/been called.. the woman who taught me the arabic alphabet did a lesson about insults in colloquial palestinian arabic.. the one that stuck out to me was iniqbir or ini'bir.
literal meaning: bury yourself.
"go and bury yourself".

Dago ,Wop , black bastard ,(cringe) were targeted for the Greeks or lebanese , whereas Dago and wop for the Italians that migrated to Australia ,at least where I lived in Melbourne .
Asians were slope eyes or slit eyes.
I was an ignorant street kid then ,my apologies .
An Elder who I sometimes worked with in FS would say as he left a householder "I hope all his chickens die off "
or some such thing.
