I was surprised when I read the 34 page Norwegian Court Ruling, which I downloaded, that the WTB&TS was ALREADY deregistered (… similar to being disfellowshipped …) in France and Germany.
Wow! … It’s really embarrassing  when you are convicted of violations of basic inalienable human rights and cruelty … by GERMANY ….. and two counties that Nazi Germany invaded and occupied and tried to make them slaves.

Here is a PDF FILE of the Court Order, in English.

The Top WTJWorg Lawyer Philip Brumley. "The Corporation" (donation money) paid for his law studies, and he received a heavy fine, not because he does not know the law, but because of his dishonesty, he misleads the Court, makes incomplete and incorrect statements with the aim of defending injustice. What a great Lawyer, what a great Elder.

JWI: “Good afternoon. This meeting of the closed club will now come to order.
All else: Hear hear
JWI First order of business is to consider a stack of applications for new members
TTH: Do they all seem to represent diverse personalities?
JWI: No, they all seem the same person with the same idiosyncrasies under a dozen different names.
Thinking: I propose we put them in the trash. All in favor?
(Unanimous)
Very well Motion carried. Time for refreshments. Pass the Bible chips, please?

I hardly ever think of an “afterlife”
I have decided it’s more productive to try and be better at the one I know about now.

… Eventually boyle will go off the rails and be banned again, and I suggest he resurrect himself as “NoToesPete”, the gunslinger who fired his gun before it cleared the holster … 
Of course nothing will EVER be his fault, due to his unparalleled superiority over the rest of us.
The excuses in boyle’s above posts are truely cringeworthy.
 

You mean the link YOU PROVIDED, is counterfeit?

I find it VERY IMPORTANT that Norwegian Authorities chose to emphasize and make it crystal clear that they were not in ANY WAY  interfering with how Jehovah’s Witnesses practice their religion.
However, if they CHOOSE to do as it is well documented that they do…..
NO “FREE MONEY” from the Norwegian taxpayers!

Well, if that's the way you feel about it, pilgrim...
 
I probably saw it as a kid - it seems John Wayne movies were on all the time in my house. 
 
 

WOW!
Those Norwegians are really SERIOUS about basic human decency and basic human rights!
WHO KNEW?
I guess being invaded and occupied by the Nazis during WWII made them sensitive about such things.

In the movie “Dr. Strangelove”, an Alaskan Air Force General named Bat Guano decided to start World War III, because his “bodily essences” were being contaminated by the Russkies with fluoridated water, and sent B-52 Bombers to nuke Soviet Union Strategic Targets.
Even when talking about the Western gunfighter Bat Masterson, I never knew what the name “Bat” was a contraction for, if anything … I will ask ChatGBT.
I dunno, it’s just when boyle says “Remember Audrey! I drink the purest waters for my mortal soul.”, I remember Allen Smith bragging about his .50 cal. Sniper rifle….. and it reminds me of General Bat Guano.

I asked the ChatGBT AI to review this entire thread of boyle vs Audrey, because, quite frankly, I am amazed at how well you get along together, even with dramatic differences of opinion.
Prophesy is at no time initiated by man, so I figured who better to prophesy about the JW protestors in Washington, DC than an AI.
HAL9000 was not available for comment, but did offer to sing me a song….. 
 

Uh …. OK.

But whoever shows compassion to the lowly is happy."
 
The Who-Really-Is-My-Neighbor "window test" be like...
 
...Me Crying 😭 and then @Pudgy @boyle Showing Compassion 😃
 
May Jehovah Bless You Forever🥰💖

And He will repay him for what he does."
 
Hope you guys have a good day🙂

You mean, apostasy?

Seems the majority of blue states are doing this, compared to red states.

Audrey; 
I fully understand every point you made. 

I traveled the world on Engineering Projects, and had to endure much as well.
The only partial solution I could think of was “If I could only just rent a dog somewhere …”. 

 When I remarried at age 67 I had two Siberian Husky’s and my wife had five chihuahuas. They have since died but she adopted 5 more assorted dogs, some blind and toothless, some with diabetes, etc and with our Pack and Family we are doing fine.
I even now have a large blue tick Coon Dog /  German Shepherd mix, my greatest joy of our dogs.
……. we all take care of each other.

… that’s why I am a huge advocate of the “box full of puppies” method.
My wife teaches high school calculus and it’s nice to have someone to … *coff!*. … count on.

😭😩😣🥲😌
...I am sorry I am such a mess - thank you for being gracious and patient with me.🥲🌷

Dear @Pudgy...
 
Your advice is well-intentioned and beautiful.
 
(I won't watch the movie, because as I've expressed to you before, I already "see" in my mind the bad things going on in the world and feel them too intensely to be able to handle watching anything like that film at present. I have a really vivid imagination. I can't hardly take the news. I make myself read it so I know what's going on in the world, and I cry and pray about it. I can't handle a bloody movie anymore. I used to watch them when I was younger. I can't anymore. I seriously wouldn't be able to function for a week.)
 
I go outside and enjoy the sunshine and the rain. I have had animals, still have my dog. I go on day trips with my kids and enjoy life. One thing I don't have right now is adult association to speak about intellectual things or crazy things or any things.
 
I was disfellowshipped less than a year ago after being in the "truth" for over twenty years. Practically every person I was close to dropped me like a maggot-infested corpse. I am married to a man I love but who won't talk about anything spiritual with me because he considers me an apostate. He is battling with alcoholism and other things and trying to just get through each day without committing suicide. I am proud of him and I carry what I can, but I can't just go "see the world". For me, fooling around on an "irrelevant forum" is a great escape and a type of therapy and entertainment. If someone learns anything from anything I say, wow, that's amazing, but even if you are the only person that ever reads it - or even if you don't - it has served a purpose in that it's keeping me alive sometimes when I am feeling very alone.
 
I am not a strong person. Jehovah makes me strong. He gives me strength. When I talk about Him, it helps me. I don't have to stay here, I guess I could go write in a journal or something, but this has been kind of fun. Whatever "character" or "puppet" writes back, it's just like a game in a way. It would be nice to talk to someone who doesn't have on a mask, but I am not in a position right now to be able to go out and make new friends. My life situation is not like that right now. I am limited in the freedoms I have. Even the ones I have at present can change very quickly. I am not complaining about that, but it is the reality I have right now. 
 
Not everyone believes in Jehovah or the things in the Bible. That's their right. I know the things He says are true, so it doesn't bother me if someone else doesn't agree. Even though @boyle is ornery, he is easy association compared to a lot of the people I have been dealing with in the past couple years. I like conversing about Bible-related things, but I also enjoy sharing other things. I may not be good at it, knowing how to write on a forum in an appropriate way - whatever that is - but I can't change my personality quickly. It takes time to grow. I've had to grow a lot in the past year, so many new things. I can't believe I've survived some of the things I've been through in the past few years, and I am aware I am a little damaged from some of the experiences, I am sure it shows socially. (Again, it might not be stuff that'd be difficult for someone else, but I am a weak person.)
 
Anyway, I guess what I'm saying is if my presence here is annoying or inappropriate, I will graciously say "goodbye". I can look for another place to play around on the internet. I am not here to cause issues. I am not forum savvy, I'm kind of learning as I go. 
 
I have confidence in my hope for the future, but that doesn't change that we all have to get through today. I am just trying to get through each day as it comes. Being here has helped me to do it, but Jehovah will provide something else if need be.

Perhaps it's because of your perspective?

 
 
How many beats?

I was at a stoplight, when this scraggly non-Caucasian with some brochures and a can motioned for me to roll my window down 
He was asking for contributions to the BLFM, and I put two dollars in his can.
as he turned, a I asked “What is the BLFM?”.
He replied “Better Lunches For Me”.
 

There are many options for building a chicken run. I used metal posts on mine, but here is a picture of different kinds of posts that someone else used on their chicken run.
 

 
I can't say which posts are better.
 
 
"You must stick to Jehovah your God."
 
I do the best I can.
 
(Joshua 23:8)
 
 
I can't write a symposium right now, I'm kinda tired, maybe later.
 
 
Oh, but it has everything to do with it, my dear. Some people on the thread seemed to be concerned that Jehovah won't hear somebody's prayer if they pronounce Jehovah's name the "wrong" way. This verse shows that it doesn't matter, as long as you are approaching Jehovah through Jesus with the right heart, Jehovah will hear you. That deaf man never heard "the so-called correct pronunciation of God's name" prior to being healed because that man was deaf. And yet he must have prayed many many times to be healed, and Jehovah heard and answered that prayer, even before the man heard out loud how Jesus uttered God's name in Hebrew or Greek or any other language.
 
 
What would you like me to start a thread about?
 
 
I know Jehovah as Jehovah, so that's what I call Him. He has answered my prayers when I call on Him by name. Before I knew Jehovah, I was an atheist. At one point I went through a particularly difficult trial, and I called on the names of many different gods that I had heard about or studied about - and not one of them did a thing. When I prayed to Jehovah through Jesus' name, Jehovah answered that prayer. I know Jehovah is the true God, and I know He answers prayers when I use His Name.
 
My point was that if someone deaf who never heard God's Name out loud can pray to the true God and have that prayer answered, then surely if someone calls Him Yahweh or Jehovah or YHWH or JH and they mean the God of the Bible who Created All Things, then that person can be confident that Jehovah's not going to be mad at them or call them an apostate because they mispronounced it according to some scholars.
 
Jehovah is nice. He's not mean, and He's definitely not a Pharisee. Or a scribe. He's a Dad. (Praise Jehovah!😄)

"There is an appointed time for everything..."
 
I have not been shy about my affection for you as for my brothers. Brotherly affection, however, is not always mutual. I cannot read hearts, only comments.
 
I think it's time for me to go for now.🙂
 
(Talk to you later, Jehovah willing...)💖
