  No 2019 Conventions in Ireland ?

  by Phizzy in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i may have got this wrong, but using the dreaded jw website, they seem to be directing the irish j.w's to go to birmingham in england this weekend.. is this correct ?

  they always used to hold two conventions in ireland, are there none in 2019 ??.

  probably the irish ones actually, truly, made a loss, but think of all the travelling, including a flight or sea ferry crossing if i am correct.

  Almost perfect!

  by The Fall Guy in

  2. humour

  after a cruise-ship suffers a terrible shipwreck, the famous beauty and actress scarlett johansson finds herself alone on a deserted island.

  hours pass, and eventually only one other person makes it to the island to join her - a man.. they didn't know each other before the shipwreck, but he of course knew of her due to her beauty & fame.. at the beginning it was hard, but as time passed, this guy learned how to provide food and shelter and started taking care of her.

  she took care of him in return, and eventually she started to really feel a bond with the guy.

  Remember The Green Song Books

  by new boy in

  2. friends

  then new and improved purple song books that came out in 1966. then there was the brown song book and a even newer one in 2006. .

  thousands of hours wasted singing those stupid songs and their stupid lyrics.. song 106 "watch how we walk and watch we talk.

  i remember inserting different works in the lyrics to relive the boredom.

  you probably think i need mental counseling but i am moving from southwest florida to minnesota.

  i was just there last week in the -29 degree weather to close on a house i bought in oakdale, minnesota.

  being a florida resident for 5 years has taught me that it is no longer the paradise that people think it is.

  What will JJ Abrams and Disney do for Star Wars episode IX?

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i heard that jj abrams has finished the screenplay and they'll be starting to shoot the final episode soon.. so where will the story go?.

  han solo is dead, snoke is dead, leia can only have a very limited role at best because carrie fisher unfortunately died .... plus, rey has already defeated the main villain once before, in her first lightsaber fight (in the force awakens, because 'ovaries!

  ', i guess xd).. and she saved his ass against snoke's elite guards (in the last jedi) - so it will be difficult to film any kind of dramatic tension between rey and kylo ren.. i won't be seeing this film in the cinema or buying it on dvd but i am kinda curious how things will pan out .... what do you think?.

  Review: Apostasy

  by neat blue dog in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  stan's recent post about the apostasy movie reminded me that i had watched it last month, so i thought i'd write a review.

  please note this will probably contain some spoilers so if you care about that sort of thing hold off on reading this.. first i want to say that this is probably one of the most if not the most accurate and reasonable cinematic portrayals of jws.

  however here is a list of little inaccuracies: an outdated view that preaching to all the world can 'make' the end come, jesus briefly portrayed with long hair, judicial reinstatement meetings being called "guidance meetings", a normal weekly public talk being introduced as "the first in a series of talks he's prepared for us", applause at the end of a local needs part, and a jw saying of god "you need to earn his love, it's conditional" ( i know this is basically true in practice but they'd rarely say it out loud).

  United Nations

  by Sergey Antonov in

  2. scandals

  hello, recently, i talked with the witness of the united states.

  "jehovah's witnesses" in the united nations.

  as far as i understand, the organization had to fully accept the un charter and cooperate with the un.the jehovah's witness replied to me that there is no contradiction in this.he said that witnesses are allowed to apply, for example, to courts or other organizations for help.when i told him that the organization is participating in the osce, he is said to be normal too.he said that they are not affected.
