Wow, I thought that this was just happening - it said June 9, 2020.  Someone sent this to me.  I was rather surprised with the priest (or whoever that was) who swiped a lot of dollars from the collections and did all kinds of extravagant stuff with it.  At least the CC gives the impression of following a vow of poverty- Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience - hmm, well never mind...

Can’t open it.

I got it to open ... and yeah most interesting. Although the demise of BBTG is going to be swift  and shockingly quick - this shows the direction they are heading with religion. 

Not yet though ...not until the saying of Peace and Security - as there seems to be support from religions with this phase, but yes could be later than we think. Thanks for sharing my dear.

 

Greg ... I 'saved' it when it said to up the right hand corner then it worked for me.

I am afraid to go to the "corner" ..it reminds me about my younger school years LOL

Is that old or something? I can find nothing on it no matter what I google. Like I start typing the title and it even auto completes it for me as a search, but no results.

 

Strange =/

Old news: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-religion-catholics/catholics-protest-connecticut-church-finance-bill-idUSTRE52A7EQ20090311

 

It was in 2009

So did the bill pass?

Sorry, it was sent to me just as a video, so I didn't realise it was old news. If I'd looked when I played it I would have noticed.

The video has been making the JW friend of a friend circuit for the last month .. old news that never got passed in the legislature.

Just more proof to believe in a resurrection, some news items never die...😂

Yeah we had this spread around our congregation recently too, but super old video now. Amazing how connected we all are on a social level across the world, and it's no wonder the GB have said even recently not to fall for stuff or just spread things we hear, because it goes around like wildfire and people don't fact check.

No it didn't.  It was thrown out in 2012.

 

A friend sent this to me the other day on Messenger and I did some research on it before I got too excited.

At least it wasn't fake news, just old news!
