a group of 136 countries set a minimum global tax rate of 15% for big corporations.

that is a major goal accomplished by the biden administration.

seehttps://www.wsj.com/articles/countries-agree-to-global-deal-to-curb-tax-avoidance-11633709979 .. if corresponding legislation gets passed into law in the usa it will be much harder for corporations doing business in the usa to move their operations out of the usa to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.

Do You Know Of Anyone That Has Seen A Therapist Because Of Being A Witness?

i really don’t know of many people who got into therapy because of their jw dealings but i would think that if someone remains depressed or severely affected by their past witness life, it’s not a bad idea to speak to someone to get you on the right path.

i think this site has been very therapeutic for many over the years..

Have You Been “Gaslit”?
by minimus in

gaslighting is a form of sustained manipulation that causes the victim to question or doubt their sanity, judgment and memories.

it’s a form of emotional abuse.

i think jehovah’s witnesses have been gaslit.

three of my sisters - there are five of us - were baptized as witnesses.

one of them has gone from reading voraciously to only reading her textbooks and watchtower publications.

this does not seem to be unusual among witnesses.

i just read this article about dave ramsey and his company ramsey solutions (formerly lampo group).

reading about him and his board, made me think of jehovah's witnesses and the governing body (aka the hateful eight).

i used to like him, listened or watched his show, even visited his new hq in nashville briefly.
