At this point they are buying food that would normally be bought by restaurants and handing it out to the elderly (my parents). I'm guessing that since they don't preach, this is how they are keeping their 501c3 status.

Conducting the B School
by Solzhenitsyn inso how many of us who conducted the b school have the reoccurring flashbacks every damn time we now pomo, put our hand on blinds to raise or lower them?.
we either fiddled with lowering them every week as we got the school underway or fiddled with to raise them to "listen in to the #3 in progress" up front.
every time i grab the pull string or the louver adjustment wand anywhere i inevitably have a kh ops moment of pause.

Anti vaccines
by blisterfeet ini personally feel that vaccinations are beneficial.

My daughter almost died from vaccinations. Every parent should research the pros and cons and make an informed decision.

This is a very weird, disturbing, self righteous way to be a "footstep follower of Christ".

King of The North: circular news top?
by Gorbatchov infriends,.
with the circular speading of my satire tread about the annual meeting on many different ways, even informal across the jw organization, i'm pretty sure that the news about russia (new king of the north) is not real.. there was a moment i thought that it was a coïncidence that incoming messages mentioned it also.. now i suppose it started all with my op, went trending through the organization (even through bethel belgium) and became a story on it's own.. this is not realy my style and i'm not proud of it.. g..

How the Borg could increase meeting attendance numbers
by Sour Grapes ini think that the 8 popes should allow the jdubs to count time driving to the meetings or even count their time being at the meetings.
those who just listen over the phone can't count their time.. it would be a much better religious cult if the 8 self-licking ice cream popes would let their followers count their time for helping the elderly in the kingdumb haul with stopping by to have coffee, shopping, cleaning, cutting grass, etc.
let them count time by visiting the friends in nursing homes, maybe even allow double the hours for the nursing home visits.. this probably ain't going to happen because the cart work is easier..

I know many pioneers who counted time for visiting the elderly, taking them to Dr visits, etc. It's the mark of true a Christian, right?🙄

Mother is terrified over talks of peace.
by Searching injust spoke with my mother about the summit for north and south korea, her face turned a ghastly pale and she refused to talk to me about it afterwards.
i know exactly what is on her mind, and i'm not sure if i can say or do anything to assuage her fears about this being a fulfillment of prophecy.
any suggestions on what i could perhaps tell her to try and steer her from her line of thinking?
