Patterson renovation—new donation boxes
by careful inover at reddit a post has appeared stating that a letter was read at this week's clam meeting announcing renovation work at the patterson compound, er, site:.
https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/cmz8t5/announcement_patterson_is_being_renovated_extra/.
does it strike anyone as odd that at a time of pretty extreme belt-tightening the gb is undertaking another costly building project?

Tariffs and Taxes ... Which is it ? I want my $214 back !
by RubaDub in(so as not to hijack the tariff thread, i thought this would be better to keep separate.).
i guess my economics and finance classes in college have not prepared me to understand the latest round of tariffs/taxes that trump is instituting.. i really don't understand who is "paying" these fees and where they are going.
first of all a tariff is a tax and anyone who doesn't believe that needs to invest in a bridge in new york city.. to keep this as simple as i can, i'm thinking of a $1,000 refrigerator that i am buying.

JW Broadcast For August
by APieceOfShitNamedTate inokay i'll admit that what i'm about to ask is a little silly.
this is the kind of stuff that crosses over into tinfoil hat territory, but you can't help but notice it.. did anyone else see gary breaux in this month's broadcast doing that weird "hand diamond" thing over his bible?
he was also wearing a pinky ring.

Christian Scientist article - JW parallels
by dozy inan interesting read on the decline of the christian scientists (cs) .. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/aug/06/christian-science-church-medicine-death-horror-of-my-fathers-last-days.
re jws , from a quackery pseudo medicine / religion standpoints , thankfully the crazier woodworth / rutherford anti vaccination etc inspired medical nonsense was mostly ditched in the 50's and 60's.
the ban on transplants was ditched more recently.

If the UK leaves the EU WITHOUT a deal.....
by The Fall Guy in.....it would appear that the republic of ireland (not the uk) is responsible under eu law for the setting up of a hard border with its non-eu neighbour, northern ireland.
just as spain had to do with ceuta in morocco.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ceuta_border_fence.
a 310 mile border would cost a helluva lot to build and to cover with security.
