Cliff Notes on Construction Halt/Bethel Layoffs
by neverendingjourney ini don't follow the board nearly as closely as i did years ago and i've only seen scattered and seemingly contradictory threads on construction delays and bethel layoffs.. anyone care to briefly summarize the latest for those of us who haven't closely followed the various threads?
it'd be greatly appreciated.. thanks in advance..

Steve2, sorry you decided to be a dick on this thread. I've always enjoyed reading your takes.
You could have simply chosen not to click on the title. Nobody's being forced to reply.

Samuel Herd's statement about donations and Cialdini's social proof
by slimboyfat insamuel herd made a statement a few weeks ago about halting construction work, laying off bethel workers and reducing printing output: severe cutbacks all round.
he said, like the head of a household, the gb has to make sure the organisation is living within its means.
but he added a very careful phrase, something like: "be assured brothers these measures have not been taken as a result of any lack of financial support on your part.

Maybe the GB are aware of this very important influence on human psychology and it informed their carefully worded statement.
Nah, I think they're a bunch of buffoons. Any similarities are strictly coincidental.

Antimatter not so different after all ... poor old Freddy wrong again,another light dims in the JW heavens.
by fulltimestudent inback in the years after ww2, newly discovered antimatter was perceived as destroying ordinary matter, so in one of old freddy's insane nightmares (forget which book, but it was the early 1950's) he envisioned yhwh-jesus hurling antimatter at the hated humans who refused to submit to him, and destroying their bodies bit by bit.. now, his vision dims:.
antimatter not so different after all.
scientists help make first measurement of antiproton attraction.

Following up my earlier post, I've been doing some back of the envelope math and here's what I've come up with.
1 gram of antimatter annihilating 1 gram of ordinary matter would release 3 times the amount of energy as the Hiroshima bomb (per Wikipedia). There are 1,000 grams in kilogram.
Therefore, annihilating 1 kilogram of antimatter would release 3,000 times more energy than the Hiroshima bomb. This would exceed the largest nuclear bomb ever, the Tsar Bomba, which released about 1,500 times the energy of the Hiroshima bomb.
Say you take a person of ordinary build who weighs 70 kilograms (154 lbs.). If you took 70 kilograms of antimatter and used it to annihilate that person, the result would be an explosion 210,000 the size of Hiroshima.
That's not enough in and of itself to blow up the Earth. The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs is thought to have released a billion times more energy than the Hiroshima bomb, but the explosion would be roughly 140 times bigger than the largest nuclear weapon ever detonated.
This is just for one person. Freddy was apparently talking about using antimatter to annihilate the remnants of the "old system." It's possible you could quickly start approaching scales that would blow the Earth into pieces.

If you had a penny (U.S.) made up of antimatter and you collided it with a regular penny, the resulting energy released would exceed that of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
That's a penny. Imagine using antimatter to annihilate a human being. The result would be the largest explosion ever witnessed directly by man.

Invisible Rulership - one of the dumbest things I ever believed in
by Black Man inhaving now been out of the cult for a few years, it really shocks me about some of the nonsense i used to believe in.
like for instance, christ ruling in the midst of his enemies, but doing so invisibly.. let's let that one sink in for a minute.
you've supposedly got a king who is ruling for a kingdom, but it is an invisible rule.

Thanks, Terry. I don't believe you and I have ever interacted, but I've followed your story and find inspiration in your perseverance. Were I in your shoes, I'm not sure I would have adapted as well. -
