if you were a lady and you were 55 and had $5,000 or less to spend on a used car, what would buy?
top concerns: good mpg; reliable; in not having major issues like ball joints breaking, timing belts breaking, etc.
not too expensive to maintain.
Don't forget fuel economy. Some autos are for premium only. Personally, I dislike Toyotas but is surprised, the consumer magazine always ranks Toyota on top every year. For someone from Michigan, the home of General Motors, wouldn't that be advantageous,? just kidding.

I laughed aloud while reading every post. They are all excellent posts. Thank you all.

wts breaks funding promise .
in 1968, when i became associated with the jws, it was strongly impressed upon me that the watch tower society does not, nor will ever solicit funds or contributions.
this was stated to explain why they do not pass collection plates, like the churches, and that they rely totally on jehovah for needed funds.
I think, the WTS in this respect, is behaving like a mother of all religious-inspired hypocrisy.

Money matters in these times.

when i joined the jws, racial issues were not really discussed much, other than some mention in the material given to me during my bible study in the "truth" book.
our kingdom hall had only one dark skinned individual, who is portguese, and one of the anointed.
i believe that he is now deceased.
This is a hot thread. Because of your varied and shared lived experiences, I am better informed right now than before.

these guys are real company men when they have mass lay off of older bethelites tossing them to the curb and making the congregation they are assigned to carry some of the load, so that the watchtower corporation can cut costs of providing for these nolonger young people who have devoted theirs lives to the corporation.. they are heartless bastards aren't they?
i wonder what kind of undercurrent this is causing at headquartes?.
ok
the society has certainly had their share of financial setbacks, especially in the pedophile department.
the legal department must actively save face and do damage control!.
i can't help but wonder how many wts attorneys are flying around to be present at estate hearings, bequeathment hearings, probate court, reading of wills, etc.
| Years ago my wife and I had our will written such that our estate would be divided into equal parts per child and the WTS. This is how it will stay as long as my wife remains active | |

Hi stillin,
Just curious, can you do something(ie., change the will of beneficiaries, power of attorney, exclude the WTS, etc) about that right now when you are still alive?
