Well, Farmer Atlantis Extraordinaire.

The fruits of your farming activities are appreciated to the max.

There's a RUMour that RUM is in crates coming your way.

Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Ever Do Anything For Anyone But Themselves?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i was thinking of how witnesses were always admonished to take care of their own before they should ever help a worldly neighbor.

i don’t think they ever do anything for the community unless it’s a benefit to them..

A prominent CO and SKE instructor based in Victoria and often NSW, is cruising around the Australian country side while his capable mother has been dumped in a nursing home because the other sibling (not in the religion) could no longer be with her as her own partner needed her full time attention. The super spiritual son convinced her to go into a nursing home. When he does rarely visit he tells her she is in the best nursing home in Melbourne. He had to keep his 'spiritual status' and his mother keeps trying to convince herself this is best for her and her son. PATHETIC.

Anti vaccines

by blisterfeet in

i personally feel that vaccinations are beneficial.

there has been a modern movement that vaccinations are more harmful than beneficial to which i disagree.

what is your stance as an ex jw on vaccinating your children?

jonahstourguide

The plural of anecdote is not data.

Top of the class cofty.

That's the problem in jwdom. Their publications are full of it and the Muppets nod ad infinitum .

That is why they fall for these anecdotal references of no substance.

Sadly when some leave the jws they still cling to the ideology of anecdotes

Another two bobs worth.

Right on the money as always blondie.

We see it right here in Australia,,,,,,If an ageing jw with no family nears death the elders fall over themselves to get the estate signed over to the org. If they have family in their thoughts or a will,,,, zero help from the elders. I have personally been involved in this scenario as a third person offering help on more than one occasion including the passing of my aged parents. If there were no relos, the elders would take over. If there were were relos I was left alone to offer help and practical assistance unhindered by the 'holy ones' ,,,,Charlatans.

The King of the North has now entered into the 'land of decoration' (the Spiritual Estate of Jehovah's People) - Annual Meeting

by Listener in

the final part of the october, 2018 annual meeting has now been released of jw org tv.the following includes a transcript of mark sanderson's speech for those that don't want to listen to the broadcast.. we have long held that the land of decoration is the "spiritual estate of jehovah's people"... now brothers what can we say about all these events that have taken place (referring to recent events in russia) in such a short period of time?

well, truly, if you're a student of the history of god's organization, you can say these events are unprecedented in our history.

we've never seen a country or a territory with 175,000 witnesses of jehovah go under ban.

Wot a crock of shite. Thank you for posting. I had a gut full after am111 in last weeks vomitville.

Here we go again, 'the needle returns to the start of the song and we all sing along like before'.

(refer earlier posts about the theory of communist block and king of north over the years)

And for those who fall for the con,'And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow'.

I think that's how the song goes. But, it's so fitting. Rinse and repeat.

Yes, in jwdom they are lonely tonight and forever because of the F.O.G. and perception that 'Spirituality'

is defined by a group of Fiddlers. Don't read the music,,,,,, play by ear,,,, she'll be right on the night.

just my two bobs worth.

P.S. I am a muso but, we never did shit like this. And we had a Fiddler in the European music band.

interesting video explaining how to end a bible study.. watch the kind of uber behaviour of the witnesses: make a choice or we leave.... so hard, so not christian.

no love for the person.. g..

What are the JW flock up to-- despite the GB?

by Half banana in

poster westiewilly quoted on another thread the biblical proverb “expectation lost is sickness to the heart”.

the kjv puts it well, “hope deferred makes the heart sick but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life”.. does this not encapsulate the emotional tone of the jw organization today; “heartsick”?.

those who saw the total failure of the watchtower promises of the twentieth century must be heartsick from the disappointment.

jonahstourguide

Well smiddy3.

From my perspective they are now pushing "serve to the end" "even if that means the end of our lives"

They are moving away from the "paradise at hand" bullshit they spruiked in our younger days.

report from vomitville and financials

by jonahstourguide in

i attended a circuit arsesemblancey today.

melbourne, melton arsembley hall.

western suburbs area.. 1. re hearing negative reports in the media about jws.

jonahstourguide

Hi all,

I attended a circuit arsesemblancey today. Melbourne, Melton arsembley hall. Western suburbs area.

1. Re hearing negative reports in the media about jws. the classic first excuse offered was, " would you entertain a negative report about your spouse?" You love your spouse so you know it's wrong". "Then we must remember that jehovah is backing his people and if there is anything to correct jehovah will fix it in his own time". "So if stories like these are affecting us here are two scriptures to help us,,, Ps 94:19,,, Phil 4:6,7".

There's a lot of other refuse I could share but I want all and sundries to have a rest full evening.

Financials......."After our last convention we had a surplus of $11,663.95 so in accord of the equalizing of blah blah blah, we have forwarded the sum of $10,708.45 to the world wide work and the branch sent us a lovely letter thanking us for the contribution". " this left us a balance of $1,107.33". " Our expenses for this convention are $7,741.04 leaving us a net debt of $4,449.45 for this convention. we are deeply thankful of the generosity that you will show".

Yes,average attendees of 1.500. Seems they are charging at around six bucks per head.

Wake up Ausralia,,,, all the cash iz going to the u.s.,,,,,,,,,,

Enjoy all and questioning lurkers. Once you see the light you realise it ain't holy spirit its the gleam of money greedily attained.

Oh, 1500 attendees, 14 baptised and 5 were under 15yo born ins

Hello WTBS ...we have a problem... millions missing publishers

as the title states there is a ...problem.

allow me to explain.. i'll start with a letter from the president of the wtbs inc in 1974.

*** yb74 254-6 is your faith dead or alive?

jonahstourguide

Well BethSarim Is My Name, I have a friend here in Australia with a strikingly similar experience. What ever got you outta there is your saviour be it emotional strength or simply resolve to do better or human endeavour. Call it what you will. Some do call it jesus, allah, yahweh, etal. Importantly, you need a trusted friend. Whomsoever that may be.

I'm happy to hear you have torn away from the jw falsity. Your evaluation of elder qualifications is right on the money,,,,,,brain dead comes to mind.

Well done. Enjoy your life and persue all of your visions of happiness.
