They never had time, among the dominant females, to take full advantage of their husbands status. They probably could bring to his attention things happening, that the elders were not aware, of though. Being quiet types could spare the wives a lot of grief, because there is a lot of offence in many words

Was 2019 the last convention ever?
by joey jojo inin a recent feel-good instagram post about the 2019 international convention, a jw remarked, "was it the last convention we will have?".
there is no doubt jw's feel they are truly special and that world events revolve around them directly.
there is also no doubt that whether we get a vaccine for covid or not, and at the moment, its looking very certain that we will, that the world will continue to spin and life will go on, regardless of the beliefs of the jw's.. once the pandemic is over i'm wondering if some jw's will realise that even though they lived through a notable period of time, life kept sailing on, and maybe they aren't that special after all?

not to forget the clay of Biden and the iron of Trump not mixing well in the 2 footed Anglo American statue base. How about the Brexiteers and Conservative/ Labor in the other foot?
food for end of the world thoughts.but:
there will be no conventions along with the Pandas? --- We know there will be no wt memorial. but ---

yeah, they now will start reviewing old "assemblies".It is the same stuff over and over again anyway.
notable period of time? jj? true,
for the first time it is not too large a proportion of the population that perishes. thanks to better and better "satan's "science. despite unprecedented pathogen spreading mobility.

they will claim as individuals they have no money. And as responsibility stops with the EGB
P: at the local level too, all appointments are made by the Circuit Overseer now. He has he has no money either, lives in a donated apartment, drives a leased car.

Are Jehovah's Witnesses running a race with no end in sight?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inhorse racing lengths vary from just a couple of furlongs to several hundred miles, if you count the mongolian derby.

nascar races generally last anywhere from 1.5 to 4 hours, depending on the length of the race, number of laps and track conditions.

, no, the finish line is not in sight, because
The end is "just around the corner" , therefore out of sight, because there is no transparency. unless
you use a mirror, -----,the wt smoke & mirror. or
The really funnny wt glasses shown here some years ago. If somebody could find and post, to give us the belly chuckle.

I like to hear seamless confirmation about the reading first. but
Calling members "publishers" made them kind of personally responsible too.
That is why i am ashamed to have published the wt stuff 2/3s of my life*. compared to Jesus only 10% of his time.
Walmart announcement: ask any associate for assistance.
* on second thought that figure is wrong, I use wt material now only to debunk the j--- P. S. wt writers already use the term "associate", when they call a jw who has terminated his membership ( by voting for trump/biden for example) as "disassociated"

The Amazing Solar System
by LoveUniHateExams ini gotta say, i don't know much about the solar system.
i never was particularly interested in it.. but i've recently read professor brian cox's book (which accompanies a bbc series) and it's completely fascinating.. i'm quite interested in pictures of mars.
martian landscapes seem familiar and different at the same time ….

Neptune always sits there as a big fat gassy giant spoiler. mathematical coincidence with a degree of fudge rather than an actual law.
BT right. certainly not a universal law. not observed in any of the exo planet systems so far.
Neptune's position exactly between Uranus and Pluto at 9,6 AU for the establishing of a lower 3 and upper 96 limit to the geometric progression of the Bode sequence.
( the innermost and outermost planets are equisistant).
Bode / Titius is a 9 place coincidence, ? is the universe old enough to allow for that? lucky us,
. because stability is made from resonances like that.
Think of the planet spacings as wavelengths, the ecliptic as a Chladni plate.

Height of mountains before and after the flood .
by smiddy3 init was stated many years ago in answer to how did the flood cover the top of all the mountains on earth in noah`s day.?.
mount everest ?.
and it was explained away by saying that the mountains before the flood were a lot smaller / lower than the mountains that exist today.. so there was no problem .. when the deluge began with so much volume of water now covering the earth ( water being heavy ) pushed down into the weakest parts of the earth and raised up in other parts of the earth to where we now have higher mountains than existed before the flood of noah`s day.. in other words mount everest didn`t exist at its present height before the flood and neither did any other high mountain that exists today ,the topography all changed with the noachian flood.

peer review can be flawed because peers have axes to grind, the "not invented here" factor. but science itself is not flawed, because of the only temporarily true answers, but is great, because it gives rise to better questions. so: back to the OP:
is mount Everest taller now than it was "before the deluge"? ? ? Yes: 20 meters estimated.

doesn't it make you stop to wonder---what
t: makes you wonder how is it that the possible creator of that immensity is pictured in the bible as walking in the garden in the breezy paty of the day, bellyaching because of--.
Wt believers totally and I mean absolutely underestimate the stature of such a being. or:
has the solar system, the universe created itself? even energy, out of which the universe was made, can not be created. or destroyed.
