i'm still reading and researching the bible.
a thought occurred to me... the universe is so huge and full yet most of it cannot be seen by the naked human eye.. while jw's could claim that god created the stars to look pretty/ for navigation... what about the rest that cannot be seen?
the huge never ending mass of universe that the bronze age writers of the bible had no idea about?.
When I was a JW I had the following line of reasoning:
After the thousand years when new books are opened, perfected humanity would probably be allowed to populate the universe. Then the good lord Jehoober would perhaps create other intelligent species, but the matter of sovereignty would have been settled seeing as human history would be the legal president.
you all might find this craig's list ad interesting, i have publications "studies in the scriptures" plus others, how can i valuate my inheritance grandma left me?
grandma was poor, she was third-generation witness who spoke boldly without fear of men.
what do you think they want these books for, i have lots of books dated pre-1950s,, if i was to part with my treasure how much do i charge?.
Hi there The UFO cult,
Is there a copy of the Book Seola or Angels and Women in the book collection?
Happy birthday.
Live long and prosper.

What is an "apostate" ...or... an "apostate website?"
If you are an ex-Jehovah's witness and you have publicly or in conversation disagreed with the Watchtower, you are an apostate.
Websites that oppose or criticize the Watchtower are deemed apostate.
However...
To everyday Jehovah's Witnesses anyone (ex-witness or not) displaying too much knowledge of the organization, its workings and who is critical of it is deemed an apostate. Any site that criticizes the organization or its teachings in any way shape or form is apostate (if not a media outlet). If its a mainstream media outlet the article or segment is deemed apostate or Satan inspired.
So although the technical definition is pretty narrow the practical application is pretty broad.
i just learned that my husband was in one of the dramas at this year's rc.
i have no idea which one.
the way that i found out is: while looking for a confirmation email for a plane trip we are making, i opened his account.
He must come home dressed like an Arab pretty frequently.
Ah hahahahahahahaha, my sides.
wtb&ts has invested $40,000,000 in november 2007 in a hedge fund located in the cayman islands, a tax haven.
the document is from the official website : securities and exchange commission:.

The Watchtower might have had nothing to do with this (Example below). The hedge fund might actually be crooked and just be using the Watchtower name.

Hi Mad Irishman,
The proof is in the Security and Exchange commissions official filings.
Both the JP Morgan Liquid Asset Fund and the Caymen investment are well documented.
And then the GB go begging for money? Oh lawd.
The look on their faces is the icing on the cake. It says: I'm a smug asshole and I'm going to take you chumps for all you've got.
BTW some other official documentation that's out there: 50% of the WTBTS of Pennsylvania's investment is in oil and gas.

400 million in JP Morgan? I have $260 million.
And yes they're the Firm.
over time a number of different 'classes' of members have arisen on this forum.
1] apple watch watchers - this group takes a great interest in watches worn by members of the governing body.
2] cult escape consultants - one who freely offers advise on how to flee from a cult - mainly the wt society.
Seriously, no devoted bling watchers?
That shit is so cash.
