A Special Forces veteran, publicly branded a poisoner, has broken his silence to tell the Sunday Mercury: “I did not kill my wife with weedkiller.” And Lieutenant Commander Robert McIntyre, who served the Royal Navy with distinction from 1963 to 1971, says the bombshell allegation will be the death of him. “This is going to see me off,” said the 72-year-old at his cluttered bungalow in Bloxwich, near Walsall, the oxygen machine wife Valerie used still prominently placed in the living room. “That’s it for me, that’s me finished.” Robert, raised on the Isle of Skye, spoke out after an inquest heard 88-year-old Valerie told family from her hospital deathb…

WOULD YOU PAY SOMEONE $80 AN HOUR TO CUDDLE YOU? My Dad, whose religion was United States Navy, often lamented that in the "early days" of the United States Navy, the men were made of steel, and the ships were made of wood ... but today ... the ships are made of steel, and the men are made of wood. With that in mind, there are people SO UPSET that Trump won the Presidency that they are paying "professional Cuddlers" to hold them while they sob and moan. I know that on some college campi that they have "safe spaces" where it is not allowed to MENTION that Trump won ... and folks are furnished coloring books, crayons, and teddy bears to hug .. at taxpayer (s…

Jehovah has clearly and unambiguously prohibited the use of blood for sustaining human life. Many times, OT and NT. Can I question this point please ? Did Jesus ever forbid the use of blood to save a human life ? Can you show me a scripture where JESUS forbids the use of blood to save a human life ? Let us look at a few points here. I think it is true that the Jews / Nation of Israel practised something known as Pikuach Nefesh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pikuach_nefesh This meant life was precious and should be saved even if it meant going against the Law. Add to this that Jesus gave an example which in my opinion goes much deeper …

An obsessive and controlling husband had faked a message from the police complaints body telling his wife to go to Rhyl police station to identify his body. Mark Perry, aged 46, had also turned up at a refuge with a neighbour's child claiming to be a family member and seeking the whereabouts of his wife. The story was told at Llandudno court where Perry, a Jehovah's Witness, of Sandringham Avenue, Rhyl, pleaded guilty to stalking. When he was sent for sentence at Mold crown court next month and refused bail he protested, near to tears: "I love my wife. I don't want to cause her any stress at all." The charge accuses him of between the end of July and b…

Substitute of Biological Blood: These are substances which act like biological blood and are used in cases requiring a blood transfusion. Purpose: The main purpose served by blood is oxygen carriage to organs of the body. The artificial blood synthesized so far are serving functions varying from carrying oxygen to the function of volume expansion. Thus, volume restoration can be done with the help of these substances. These substitutes are mostly under clinical trials. History: Blood was considered supernatural having magical properties. Many of the rituals were performed related to blood. Many beliefs are still followed. Several TV programs…

Speaking at the hearing, Valerie’s family described her as a “happy little old lady”. Daughter Alexandra Harpin, 58, said: “She liked to talk to people, and she was a very active Jehovah’s Witness until the last five to six years prior to her death. “She was just a normal mother, but at times she was a frightened person. “She feared certain things but never disclosed what it was. “There was nothing wrong with her mental state at all. Every time I saw her she was fine.” Robert McIntyre was not present at the inquest. Since then he has been the subject of Chinese whispers on the estate that has been home for 22 years. He told the Sunday Mercury…

Good morning.... My wife and i sat and watched this musical film 'Les Miserables' on television last night. I could not sit and watch a stage play or stage musical, but I can watch a film musical. Over two hours long and i thought it was fantastic. Showing both sides of the story, both that thought they were right. Yet showing also man's inhumanity to man. Ecclesiastes 8 v 9. "All of this I have seen, and I applied my heart to every work that has been done under the sun, during the time that man has dominated man to his harm." So many humans on Earth right now. So many lifestyles. So many religions. So many people thinking they are right. So many kil…

https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200001150 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oldest_buildings How did these buildings survive a flood that altered the surface of the earth? if the pyramids were built in 2500 BCE, a few hundred years BEFORE the flood, how did they survive the flood? Why don't they at least show damage as a result of the flood that reshaped the surface of the earth? Did God miraculously preserve these buildings just to confuse modern humans?

Can you add an example of a JW Cultural Rule from YOUR area? Example Trimmed moustaches are not ok in certain areas.....and WHERE are you located? Oh it’s sorta like when you want to grow a beard, but thereÂ’s no Biblical basis for not being able to grow one, but the elders say NO simply because itÂ’s “cultural”. You mean like that?

What should a member of the JW community do? JW TV and publications does not provide balanced news regarding events related to the WT organization and the legal aspects involved, such as court cases concerning pedophilia and failure to report such events to secular institutions. It also forbids JW members to contact the former JW, even to say simple "hello" on street or wherever. Even when they (GB of WTJWORG) allowing a JW member to talk to their excluded family member who living in the same family (house, under same roof - literally, because if exJW not live in same family place, instructions are that JW have to cut all possible contacts), WT prohibits them …

"They were skinned and thrown about like sheep without a shepherd."—Matt. 9:36. ??????? SHEEP One of the principal animals of pastoral life. (Ge 24:35; 26:14) Sheep are ruminants, or cud chewers. As is the case today, the predominant variety of ancient Palestine may have been the broad-tailed sheep, distinguished by its prominent fatty tail, generally weighing about 5 kg (11 lb) or more. (Compare Ex 29:22; Le 3:9.) ??????? Generally sheep were white in color (Ca 6:6), though there were also dark-brown and parti-colored ones. (Ge 30:32) In a pastoral society men of great wealth, such as Job, had thousands of sheep. (Job 1:3, 16; 42:12) The Israeli…
