so let me get this straight.
even though law enforcement has their hands full with illegal drugs and guns on the street, child traffickers, dangerous gangs and such.
they are going to now pool all their resources to confiscate bibles and religious literature?!
I remember when I was 7-8 years old and we were headed home from a convention at Wrigley Field in Los Angeles and all my mom and another sister could talk about was how we need to start burying bibles and literature now because we would soon be under ban.
That was 1955-56. Comforting to know that the important message hasn't changed!

wonderfully warm interview from "stop the shunning" channel host beth, with ex mormon morgan ( ex morgan).. morgan describes her young life and the process of waking up or, in mormon parlance, her "shelf breaking".
there really are so many things we have in common, from young marriage to feeling personally responsible for saving everyone you have contact with that's not of your religion.
morgan also describes both her father, her husband and her own fear of losing family and loved ones at the same time as loosing her religion and difficulty we all have whilst pretending we still believe or being pimo.. highly recommended viewing.https://youtu.be/upxirjvtpec .
6 of one, half dozen of another.

oh boy, the meetings lined up for december are culty.. it all starts with a 5 minute talk someone has to give on the topic "why should we not be troubled by the increase of memorial partakers in recent years?".
the next week again inserts jws into bible prophecy, first with "the earth swallowed up the river", which claims that court victories for the org are really god's doing.
there is no mention on who is responsible for the many judgements against the org.. then there's this chart to be discussed that same night:.
Is their a meeting part on how to construct a "secret" bunker? Or the training video on how to out run the storm troopers in the forest?

i have a friend of mine who is a jw is getting one.
its sad.
its going to be sad if he is going to be destroyed by jehovah for doing this..
Anything goes as long as it doesn't included whole blood or as long as it's only stem cell fractions!

i was on facebook and a person i have known for a long time posted how trump is mentally ill and is truly a psychopath.
a couple of her friends chimed in when i suggested that perhaps the fb friend was really the psychopath.
a couple of her friends began to defend her but i was surprised by how many people defended the president!
I love to read and study history of all kinds. I've lived thru a bunch of POTUS's. My first memory of a president was Eisenhower. None have been great men or even good men. But in just a few short years it is very apparent that the current POTUS is mentally unbalanced and is a dangerous human to occupy such an important position on the world stage!
Following and/or supporting this guy is equivalent to supporting the gb of jw's. All that is necessary is to ignore the facts and just blindly follow!

looking at the most recent wt the study article focuses on the jubilees.
the made a separate box in the article to highlight the math behind jubilees, and i'm wondering if they're trying to get people thinking and stir up the pot without actually making a false prophecy.
for instance: jubilees happened every 7 times 7 years.
Look out for 2025! That will be the Jubilee year dating from 1975. Remember 1975 the "can't fail " year that Armageddon would destroy billions!
Yep 1975 + 50 = 2025.
Oops is there a zero year that I missed? If so maybe it's 2026. My guess is as good as theirs!

Armageddon must be very near because the organization is planning another very large and expensive construction project back in New York!
Matt. 24:14 (slightly revised edition)
"and this good news of more construction projects will be financed in all the inhabited earth (by the worldwide 'brotherhood') for a witness to all the nations that jw's can build elaborate structures and then the end will come!"

one of jws oldest beliefs, going back to the bible students, was quietly turned to old light in the latest wt.
in questions from readers, it explains that when satan told eve 'you certainly will not die', he wasn't starting the doctrine of the immortal soul, but that rather came later, after the flood..
A talking snake, a magic piece of fruit from tree that could give you eternal life, a flaming sword spinning to guard the entrance to the magic tree!
Sounds like mythology to me! Yep Hebrew mythology preserved in a book called the bible!

underwhelming as usual.
of note is the ridiculous amount of time spent encouraging the r&f to "do the math" on various chronologies.
oh if only they would do the math from their own publications on the error of 607/1914.
The wt leaders don't use mathematics but they do use math-magic! They have used magic formulas to calculate events that are based on mythical starting dates while employing the Hebrew calendar year of 360 days and magically converting to the Gregorian calendar of 365 1/4 days. It requires a lot of mental gymnastics but if you do the math, using wt colored glasses, you will arrive at whatever date needed! It's simply magic!
