Pudgy

My observation was about you, PwfT, being unfair and slanderous to BroRando, not about what TTH said.
Instead of apologizing, you made excuses.
 

As you may or may not be aware TTH, in the Truth there is no means to address grievances. And until the last 8 years the Governing Body has acted as if it was infallible, inspired of God, and more.
This is no longer the 1950’s.
Even a dog does not like to be beaten, even by the persons that fed him.

Pudgy is merely an affectionate literary device, like “BLACK BEAUTY”, the novel, being told from the perspective of the horse.
As have stated before, over an over and over here, for perhaps nine years, that I consider Jehovah’s Witnesses right only 15% of the time …… but WHICH 15% make all the difference.
For perhaps nine years I have constantly challenged all comers to show me something better, and ALL HAVE FAILED TO DO SO.
Humans, all humans, are “just ugly bags of mostly water” And are prone to all manner of failures and faults, and so are you and I .
If it wasn’t for Jehovah’s Witnesses my entire life would have been much worse, and I may have killed innocent people in Vietnam, the Congo, the Middle East, or Peru.
I have no fear of death, because I never expected to live past my 40’s, so “theocratic” Boogyman threats, and even directed gunfire I find silly, not scary.
It is YOU, PwfT, that are half afraid JWS MAY BE RIGHT, not me.
That is why you continue to hang out here.
My estimation is that they are right 15% of the time …… in a world where all the others are so much worse.
When a person is afraid of dying, there begins the search for comforting lies.

Your question is a based on TWO blatantly false assumptions and is a thinly disguised insult that legitimately deserves no response other than strong condemnation of the thought processes that spawned it.

Come, come, don’t gloat over an absentminded typo. You are not PSomH. She has many times said her eyesight is terrible.
If I had been saved from massive bloodguilt and my entire life been markedly improved, I would not continually find cause to bite the hand that fed me.

1. Mass
2. Black Mass
You have presented no evidence to stand on…. roughly the equivalent of stating that the horse Mr. Ed lives on Mars. Two more False assumptions…. Unless you can provide HARD actual real EVIDENCE.
3. Yes, they do pass the Emblems. Christ’s sacrifice extends to all people of faith, no matter how they fail. That is the whole point.
I attended disfellowshipped for four years, and passed the Emblems, just like anyone else. 

Wow!

You dodo! Bolded, all-caps, and in red!?
He may find this not the cakewalk he imagines. The ECHR has repeated found that the tension between JWs and vocal ex-members comes from the latter group, who refuse to accept the views of their believing relatives. That court has a sound track record of righting the wrongs of lower faddish and/or populist courts.
In a separate recent ruling from the ECHR toward Belgium, the Court ruled that country out of line in discriminating against JWs. Moreover, it did so in “a surprisingly quick decision compared to its usual standards.” One can almost picture the justices saying, “Oh. Belgium, is it? They may not know law but they know what they like.”
Why do you not spot the obvious misrepresentation?
All one must do to cut through his hyperbole is read published Watchtower counsel that humanitarian concerns do not terminate with disfellowshipping. One need not run from a DFed one “like the plague.”
This will be because the man has become a fanatical crazy who will not leave his wife in peace but works 24/7 to undermine her belief system so that she tunes him out to preserve her sanity. It has to be something like this because, again, Watchtower published counsel is that normal marital relations continue in the aftermath of a disfellowshipping, minus only the spiritual component.
No, they will not have an easy go before the ECHR. Probably the case will be reversed by a higher court before it ever gets there. It is possible the case was poorly defended. More likely, though, the local court already had its mind made up with regard to ‘anti-cult matters,” like the Russian Supreme Court of 2017, and were ready to slap down a guilty verdict on any pretext. 
From BitterWinter: The general principle that “ostracism” per se is not justiciable, and teaching “ostracism” is not forbidden has been affirmed by a large number of precedents, including at the European Court of Human Rights and in cases in the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Germany. It was confirmed last year by the Court of Rome.

Well, he’s not stupid. And he sees what your newfound belief system has done for you. It is you who puts the dog into dogmatic, not he.

James oh James, you just cannot decide which side of that fence to be on can you ? 
You know they are wrong but you are still frightend they just might be right  ....  
Well maybe they are half right, but oh dear, that means they are half wrong tooooooooooooooo  
It must be difficult for a man that is pretending to be a dog, to have to make genuine decisions. 

As you jw's pass the plate and glass from person to person in your black mass memorial, are disfellowshipped ones allowed to touch the plate and glass as well?

When I posted this article, it was not directed at anyone. I posted it because it was JW news that was not available on the JW.org website, no more.
Topic was not considered, by me.
If Elon Musk was a “closet” JW, that too, would have been news, probably not on the JW. org website.
 

PwfT:
I have never seen any sexual component to BroRando’s posts, and think you have insulted him with no factual basis.
Your general idea may be valid, but how you said it was not called for.
Merely an observation … If the things you say are not true, you lose credibility, and it is a very slippery slope to be on.

I have it on good authority that he should be.

Here in the United States 13% the population commits 60% of the violent crimes. It is considered racist to identify their race, so people just refer to them as “the 13%”.

AND SPEAKING OF CURRENCY BY THE POUND….. NEWS FROM BELGIUM (. … who are famous for their breakfast Waffles!)

When I studied Islam to the extent that I could distinguish a Shia from a Sunni when talking to them, I was astounded to see the U-turn most governments took on the violence inherent in the religion - especially after the term "islamaphobia" was coined. 
It fitted in so well with the extreme far-left agenda of being totally inclusive..... that jihadis are seen as good citizens and religious crimes are covered up -  because the press was no longer allowed to mention their names (UK), race or motivations in press releases. 
I was shocked in 2018 when UN signed agreements with their member countries that press must be "re-trained" if they show any form of islamaphobia. It fits with the new philosophy that only whites can be slave owners and be racistic.
A few years back I watched EU members in their meetings. I was also shocked when I discovered that they openly praised China and spoke of the "Chinese model" for the entire world. .... while fully aware of what China was doing to muslims and Falun gong. 
I warned friends where we were heading and I could see why satan would choose a central, financial government for the final beast ruling over humans because he wants totalitarian control. It will be a federation of digital currencies....  like old USSR under central banks... no other currencies allowed and no independent currencies allowed by law.. 
We are now experiencing a kind of cultural revolution the same as under Mao.... so everything is moving in one direction....... central emergency rule by UN under 10 kings. (Just as prophecied jn Revelation 17. ) all will be obligated to worship the beast and image of the beast or face the retaliation. 
 

Wow…. I had no idea we were talking about that …. I don’t even remember thinking that!

Belgians are the worst sort of French.

My guess, considering Jehovah has unlimited power, was 3/8 of a second.
 
If the combatants on both sides suffered no casualties …. Their Phasers must have been set on “stun”.
If they fought with bows and arrows (as illustrations show ….), the arrows must have been tipped with beanbags.
Of course, it could have been some gigantic pillow fight!
