Hi y'all,

In the Spanish side of the WTBTS there is a large group of elderly JWs that are feverously praying for the Kingdom to come oh so soon because they know they won't be able to stay afloat financially when they retire. Some already know they'll never be able to retire, period.

Well, they'll just become charity cases, like quite a few already are in the cong, thanks to the wonderful policies of this Org.

Because of this false prophecy fallout, I notice more and more JWs helping their children to obtain higher education. So, at least the this actual generation graduating HS will do better in that regard.

Has anyone thought about if a General strike take place by undocumented immigrants.

by James Mixon in

jw
friends

this would cripple the economy, don't know about other states in the union but it would.

be devastating for the border states.

here in california restaurants (no workers) closed, .

Doubtfully Yours

Please check out a GQ's piece in Youtube about the time when the State of Georgia gave powers to the police to request proof of immigration for any infraction and its consequences thereafter.

They sure deported many undocumented immigrants, but what happened to their agriculture, the service industry and their overall economy was disastrous.

People blinded by their unfounded fear and hatred do not realize how much this hurts themselves. Common ignorant behavior, to act against one's own best interest.🤔

Another Burnt Out Elder

by Spoletta in

young elder(mid-thirties) in my congregation stepped down last night.

nicest guy, with two lovely kids, a great supportive wife.. it got to be too much, as the other elders are practically useless, let him do all the hard work, while they did all the "important" stuff.

literally ran him ragged.. he's still in good standing, gave the final prayer.

Doubtfully Yours

Spoletta,

That same scenario happened in my Cong, only that it was 2 elders; those guys and their wives seem so much happier now!

I am truly happy for all that wake up to the WTBTS bs.

Trump Voters, Is This What You Voted For?

by Village Idiot in

all that talk about hillary clinton's unsecured e-mails?

read the following:.

"deagazio posted additional photos from the weekend, including one of his dining companions kissing trump on the cheek, a selfie with white house strategist steve bannon and another selfie identifying a man named rick who he says is responsible for carrying the nuclear “football,” which allows the president to authorize a nuclear attack while away from the white house.. "“this is rick,” wrote deagazio.

Doubtfully Yours

The vast majority of Trump voters/supporters are quite ignorant just like their now leader. None of the stupidity that transpires in the WH faces them in the least bit.

One cannot reason out of a position a person who has not been reasoned into it.

When HC called them a basket of deplorables, she spoke truth.

Only 3 1/2 weeks in. Enjoy!!!🤡

Sparlock is making his rounds again

by stillin in

i was at the meeting last night and the dreadful video about caleb and sparlock was forced upon the audience.

honestly, i had forgotten how bad it was.

the mother's manipulative over-reaction and caleb's acceptance that his toy was evil.

Doubtfully Yours

Saw the presentation at last night's mtg. This is perfectly lined up with the JW beliefs, so nothing new here.

Really liked the ending, where the mother offered to go on a bike ride with the child.

Children want to have fun, so parents have the obligation to substitute fun they feel is not right for a Christian with same amount of real fun that is acceptable according to their lifestyle. Nothing wrong or that will hinder the child's healthy development.

The thing is that most JWs will not do things as presented in the demo. They will be mad with the kids, yell at them, throw their toys in the garbage angrily, not reason with them, punish them, and not provide any other form of fun/entertainment as a substitute. I see it all the time and this is why so many JW children grow up disgruntled.

How much money people usually donate to WT ?

by Bardamu in

i grew up in the org and never got baptised, however i was wondering recently about how much money my family and old friends are wasting in all that.

.

i remember of course never talking in amounts, that it was important to give from what you can not what you have etc but i admit i have no clue how much the average witness gives (say in % of their income).. i'm sure it varies greatly, i'd love to hear what you guys have to say..

Doubtfully Yours

Bills have to get paid at the KH, and all things/events have a price, so we contribute moderately. However, when they read those crazy numbers at the assembly, we never give one more red cent.

No freaking way that $11,000 is the true cost for one day at a location owned by WTBTS. It's a LIE!!!🤥

New owner of 'JW ' 124 Columbia Heights in Brooklyn, New York, Vincent Viola, has withdrawn his name from consideration for Army secretary.

by no password in

http://bigstory.ap.org/article/dff5863268a846bb9c8efea1523f249b/trumps-nominee-army-secretary-withdraws-his-name.

' cited his inability to successfully navigate the confirmation process and defense department rules concerning family businesses.'.

trump's nominee for army secretary withdraws his name.

Doubtfully Yours

Now, there's a smart man. The swampy deathly stench of the Trump Administration is overwhelming. Any really smart sensible sincere person would not want to be associated with that whole basket of deplorables!

Excellent choice by Mr. Viola.

We deserve to die

by elfgoblin in

at the meeting today, we were reading the watchtower and this elder apologetically said to such a degree in regards to romans 5:12 that "we humans are not worthy of any mercy from jehovah.

we shouldn't even have free will because we can't possibly do anything good enough to please jehovah.

we don't even deserve life because of sin.

Doubtfully Yours

This one, as many a WT study, is the 'rectum derived' interpretation many of us turn a deaf ear regularly. Look around the KH when this info is being read or dissected from the platform, don't many seem as if they really do not give a flying f*** about it.

I've seen a few, younger crowd, as I do often, just looking up other stuff on my tablet while the meeting is going on.

Oh, the Org is in serious trouble! They should've never introduced that ridiculous 'overlapping generation' crap. The intelligent caught a whiff of their deceit since then.
