  Trump Tariffs started today, Some Countries Caved in early morning.

  usa politicians in charge of the economy for the past 50 years were too stupid to understand how the economy works.

  this just proves my theory, that an education on the top tier universities just sucks and means nothing in the real world, unless its in the stem education.

  for 50 years usa had zero tariffs on other countries.

  Neither my wife nor I were born with the intelligence or family background to become medical doctors.

  We were just not university material and there are only so many openings in the system for specialized training and the university obviously takes the best candidates. Basically a rare few can be doctors. The rest of us have to figure it out on our own.

  Neither me nor my wife are ashamed of our abilities or disabilities depending on how you look at it,

  I am definitely pro education but it has to be focused on a marketable skill and monetized. In addition to that the money has to be managed properly unless you want to be flat assed broke when you are 70 years old.

  Mrs and me are nothings

  Not much formal education other than high school and reading awake magazines.

  We are both ostracized inside and out of the congregation

  Played the cards we were dealt in life and came out well financially

  Work ethic and money management. Exercising self control and being diligent and reliable pretty much did it for us

  We learned the skills we needed along the way

  As a Canadian I think trump might be doing us the biggest favour in a generation.

  We were soft and complacent relying on our neighbours to the south.

  It was too easy.

  If a couple were in a missionary assignment and one of their parents died, would the branch pay their round trip airfare to attend the funeral?

  What is the Craziest Thing You Are Aware Of Someone Being Disfellowshipped For?

  i knew a lady who was disfellowshipped for 20 years for smoking.

  she finally went back to the kh and since they couldn't find her paperwork, (all the former elders were dead) she was allowed back in without reinstatement.

  no one even remembered her.

  An elderly sister in our Kingdom Hall was in long term care. She had a couple of strokes and dementia.

  She was disfellowshipped for attending a birthday party of one of the other residents, even though she couldn’t really speak up for herself and was in a wheelchair. She probably didn’t even understand what was going on.

  Self control fruits of the spirit. Fat GB seem to lack it

  by JohnR1975 in

  fruits of the spirit would surely be required to be gb members?

  yet some of them seem to lack self control when it comes to eating.

  br herd, mark sanderson and br jackson in these are all very obese.. if they travel to poor places wearing their rolex watches and gold pinky rings the brothers there will surely wonder why they are so fat.. there are many scriptures talking about not being greedy and not gluttonous for food.. if they were really chosen by god as his channel on earth then why can’t they show the fruits of the spirit and show self control when it comes to being gluttonous?.

  Youths who gave up amazing lives

  by JohnR1975 in

  when i was growing up i remember many young people interviewed on the platform at assemblies.

  the ones who really stood out are the talented ones who gave up amazing lives to pioneer.. i remember specifically when i was a boy in the 70s and 80s some who were very good at sport or something.

  their teachers begged them to get professional training use their talents to the full.

  To be fair those who had promising sports/music careers are used to enrich others just like the watchtower enriches themselves on the backs of its members

  A very, very small percentage of “promising” sports and music stars make it to fame and recognition.

  The coaches, schools recording studios make a living on the backs of these people they promise to be stars

  JULY 2025 Study WT Make Decisions

  by blondie in

  wt july 2025 make decisions.

  however, if we are humble and modest, we will be quick to absorb the bible-based advice we hear and to benefit from it.. and like david, we should be willing to listen to good advice, no matter who gives it.

  an unmarried friend might be helpful if he bases his advice on bible principles.

  Blondie:

  The problem with “bible based advise” from fellow believers is that most of the time the bible isn’t even referred to.
