If you are in the military or political party in N. Korea, then you may be very happy compared to the poor, starving workers in the fields.

My parents owned a bar when I was around 6 years old. Loved the sodas, chips, and shuffleboard. But I do remember my parents working hard and long hours. My dad always complained about the possibility of a drunk walking into the bar and the city police fining his establishment. The only thing I did not like as a kid was the smoking in the establishment. Hope the best to you and your family on this new opportunity.

I think it will be better. Democrats usually look after the disadvantaged more than Republicans. Unfortunately this will be at the cost to future generations.

Greetings! From an Existent JW!
by Ethos ini'd like extend a greeting to all members of jwn.
i've been a lurking by-stander of this forum for approximately 6 months.
i think this forum's best moments can be attributed to the involvement of actual jw's in doctrinaire discussions and to heated (though not always dialectic) debates.

You are right that the WTS's definition of "soon" will actually never arrive. But they have their own definitions such as what a "generation" is. So why can they not have their own crazy explanation for the meaning of "soon". The flock will alway accept it.
