She is three time divorcee, and married for the fourth time. She fasted, but still look like overweight pig prior slaughter. Obviously, she is one of the Xtians who pic and choose. Unfortunately, she was elected and cannot be removed from office, even if she get arrested for contempt of court. She only could be recalled by the county population. -

I am a vivid gardener, and I love to garden. Over the last weekend I was planting shrubs to replace these that died in the heat of the summer. I am preparing my lawn for overseeding in September. I have a decent size of yard and I own one of the oldest trees in the area (it is about 120 years old, 90ft tall and you need four people to wrap around the trunk). I live in subtropical climate with short, snowy winter, and long, hot, humid summer. I am currently in the process also creating a new flowerbed around my shed for herbs. I divided the property that way that flowerbeds are around the house and fences, and lawn is between.
On my shady side, I planted hydrangea. I have two types of them, lace cap and oak leaf. However, my favorite are camellias. I got many of them from camellia society and I have about dozen of them. Three of them were imported from Asia. My camellias are blooming either in the spring or through fall to the first frost. Under my huge tree, I have rhododendrons. I also planted mountain laurels, gardenia, wiegela, myrtles, summersweet, chaste tree, anise, and persian lilac. I also have calla lilies, six different types of cannas, gladiolas, fuchsia, freesias.
I do not grow vegetables, animals would eat every fruit and veggie on sight. I gave up feeding them. My grandmother had nice garden surrounded by climbing grape wines, almond trees, peaches, and apricots back in Europe. She had a well in the middle of the court yard covered with cast iron, and the court yard smelled nicely with lavenders and rosemary. I wish I could recreate the garden as she had, but different climate made it impossible.

Driving Force, you are the one who started attacking me and calling me liar. You know very well that East German anti-immigrant riots are happening, and been problem since the fall of Honecker's East Germany. East Germany is hot bed of right-wing extremism for 25 years. Three day riots in Heidenau were reported all over global media, and you can wave your fist in the air and uphold your beliefs that it is not happening, but it is you who chose it not to accept it. Seizing empty homes in Germany was reported in the Czech, Slovak, and even British press:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/slovakia/11811998/Slovakia-refuses-to-accept-Muslim-migrants.html "The row came as a mayor in Germany threatened to use emergency powers to seize empty private homes in order to house asylum-seekers."
Any case, I have not made these things up. Yet you called me a liar instead you could use a google skills and find it on its own. I can go on. Czech media is far as free as German and for most of the 2000s were in the top 10 world wide freedom press index last year even ahead of Germany. So if all news station reported riots in the Heidenau, they did not make that things up. If Germany has censorship, than it is a German problem, but it is not surprising considering its history since 1871.
"those nations were destabilized by the USA and Europe has to deal with the mess. But in saying that I have a tremendous amount of respect for the American people, just your foreign policy sucks. So all you Americans do not take offense."
So who destabilized Mali, Libya, and entire 3rd world country? You Western Europeans. Who were there? French, British, Italians. We did not had any colonies in Africa or Middle East, and yet Central Europe should bear a responsibility for housing 100,000s refugees who do not even want to stay there. And it is actually funny that a German (or someone living there for 30 years) is criticizing USA, when Germany destabilized entire Europe twice and continue to do so. Germany, that brought Bolshevism/Fascism/National Socialism into the Europe, which had to be rescued by USA. USA that gave you $$$ to lift up after Nazi defeat; USA that established a democracy in Germany something Germans were unable to create on its own; that good USA that pays your defense until today for non-existing Communist threat! But USA is the bad guy! What a joke.

Driving Force, this is reported in the Czech press. I talked to couple in Prague couple days ago, who were Czechs working in Germany, and they told me the same. This information was published by the largest daily press in the Czech Republic - Mladá Fronta Dnes, which was until 2014 owned by German publishing company.
As a Czech speaker, I follow what is published in the Czech media, at least you could correct me prior attacking me. But your are an asshole, so it was too much for you to ask. I was not twisting facts, but merely reported what was published in the Czech Republic.
On this morning, Monday August 31, 2015 thousands of refugees from Hungary are moving to Germany. I will be watching burning refugees centers in East Germany like happened on August 23 at Heidenau seen on the Czech TV. And you will be insisting here that no rioting had happened less than 30 km from Czech border. What a certified idiot. Burning of refugee centers by local population had not yet ever occurred in the Czech Republic. So fucking civilized people, Germans are right, everyone is wrong; but damn, Czech reported, I had posted on some English speaking web forum, and some douche Driving Force, is calling my a liar. Get a life!

What Convinced you to Leave?
by LaurenM ini've been posting here a lot, but these last few weeks have been very difficult for me.
anyways, lately, i've been thinking about confessing everything i've done to the elders and going back, but deep down, i don't really think it's the truth...so my question is, what convinced you it wasn't the truth and that leaving wasn't a horrible decision that everyone in the truth makes it out to be?

For me, the eye opening was the book study Revelation, the Climax is near that we studied 23 years ago. Through the book I started to see the BS of the WT publications, theology, reasoning, and entire system of beliefs. For example there was a passage in the book, where some convention in 1920's corresponding to pouring one of the bowls in the Revelation. I just could not accept it. I had to even go to library to search where this location was on the map. Here, we had organization claiming that some convention, forgotten in time and space, reveals to wounds described in the Bible. After this, I could not reconcile my beliefs and literally stopped attending. Suddenly. I moved away, got new job, and lived a life as anyone else outside the KH. -

Prologos, there was very simple problem with it, which is population count. Czech Republic is still having less population than it had in the peak of 1940 when it stood to 11.1 millions. Today, there is 10.6 million people. West Bohemia is not fertile land, it is actually climatically the harshest region in the country where frost can appear throughout the year, even in the peak of summer when temperature in the Prague and Moravian valleys are close to 36C. West Bohemia was not repopulated, because it was military zone between two different political systems until 1990. Back then you cannot even travel to counties bordering with West Germany without permit, less to live for 45 years. This military zone affected even non-Sudetenland counties like Domazlice/Taus which are across to Bavaria, but were never part of Sudetenland and were Protectorate during WWII.
It is not responsibility of the Czech Republic to host these hordes of refugees. They do not want to stay there anyway. When I was in Prague 10 days ago, the refugees were rioting all over in the refugee camps demanding to get into Germany. Police and military units were called twice there. In Slovakia, widespread refugee riots occurred two weeks ago and had to be subdued by military means. Slovakia solves the issues more harshly than the Czech Republic. The government and population wants to get rid of them the fastest way it possible, dump them at the German borders and prevent any influx going on. Yesterday, the Czech military is considering to seal the borders totally, and Hungarian is already doing it. Winter is approaching, and once November settles in, the deep freeze will arrive when temperature drops to -20C.

WWII was a case for own, especially on Germans who were resettled by force from the Central and Eastern Europe into Germany. Some areas of Czech Republic and Poland still bear marks of sudden depopulation from 1945-1948 and had not recovered. Western Bohemia is one of the prime example, so is Silesia in Poland. Mass population movements even by violent means are nothing new in the world's history. During the movement of nations, several millions of people from Goths to Huns to Slavs to Saxons moved westward and in the process destroyed anything what was associated with Roman civilization. Often these people did NOT want to destroy Rome, they just wanted to live as good and prosperous as the Roman citizens, but they were unable to cope with the requirements of the Roman society. China experienced similar movement under the onslaught of Mongols in the 13th and 14th century where several millions of them migrated to south to escape them. Generally, the mass exodus is triggered by some widespread crisis. They spell nothing good and will destabilize everything in the path.
I believe the outcome from it will be collapse of the EU as political entity and each country will protect is borders from invasion. Hungary is already deploying militarized force, Czech Republic and Slovakia is very close to seal borders by its military. There is very close step the refugee crisis will be stopped by military means at any cost. I am old enough to remember Iron Curtain and how borders were sealed and very difficult to travel within Eastern Block or to the West. Germany, Sweden, France, and UK can very little do to stop them, and besides, these countries care less what the European powerhouses think. They see them as weak.

In the history of the mankind, 14th century was probably the hardest on world population due Black Death, Mongol/Timur wars, and 100 Years War. This whipped out half of the humanity. Chinese population dropped by 1/2, European by 2/3 by the end of the century. For example population of France did not recover from the crisis until in the 1700's. Bohemia had 3 million people around 1350 but only 800,000 by 1500s. It did not reach the population peak again until 1620 and yet later until 1750. Middle East and India had similar drop of population, somewhere between 50% and 80%. Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Central Asia were depopulated for 400 years.
Prior 1350 crisis, similar depopulation happened in 500-550 coinciding with the collapse of the Roman civilization and culture of the Antiquity. Plague of Justinian killed between 30 to 50 million of people. Population of Italy dropped from 12 millions to two and entire western Europe was emptied out. Cities disappeared under time all over the known world in the matter of 50-75 years. Some places, the population shrunk so much that entire city moved to local arena in order to survive. Similar process of depopulation happened in Middle East and China which was fragmented into many smaller kingdoms.
Other scholars will say that collapse of the Bronze Age civilization after 1200BC was also as bad as the collapse of the Roman civilization. Entire civilizations from Mycenae Greece to Hittites to China collapsed as well. This is often attributed by volcanic explosion of Hekla in Iceland (around 1130 BC) which caused widespread cooling of the northern hemisphere for several decades, and destroying food supplies during the Bronze Age.

The elders of the 1980s are now in their 60s and 70s
by truthseeker inhaving just come back from the uk and spoke with some witnesses to find out how my old congregation is doing, i realized i am now the age that my elders were when i was a kid.
and i wonder what the elders who are now in their 60s and 70s are thinking when they look in the mirror and an old face looks back at them.
many of the elders in my old hall are now retired.

My mom is 79 and she is resigned that she would see the end. I was the youngest grandchild, so many of my cousins are between age 50 and 60 and they thought that the end will be in their prime years. Their mom, my JW aunt is dead for 15 years, and they still maintain her bedroom and all her clothing because she will be resurrected shortly. Two of my cousins are elders and they think the big "A" is just behind the corner. They told my mom last month that she is wasting her time to go for hip surgery in the fall, because it is 101 years since Jesus rule and reminder her that while she is on surgery and recovery, she would miss a chance to jump into the arc and survive Armageddon in THIS year.
Elders in my old KH are either dead, debilitated by age, or resigned, but still insist that the End is near. They are not giving up. It is hard when for 70 years people are brainwashed for the End to come to realize that the only end they will see is their own biological. I have yet to meet elder JW who would admit that the end is not coming in his lifetime.
