I love that website. It's wild to realize how distorted the flat map is. The USA is around 3x the size of Greenland but might actually be a bit smaller than Brazil. But looking at the flat map, you'd think it was the other way around.

Geographical inaccuracies you cant shake
by GabeAthouse inwhere your mental image of a place does not match up with where you intellectually know it actually is?
1. great britain: i always picture it to the west of france.
if i'm reading about the norman invasion or d-day i always see it in my head as crossing the channel east-west / west-east.

Resuming door to door September 1st
by Mikejw ingb worried about not enough coming to in person meetings.
what are they going to be like when they realise not only jdubs don’t want to go to in person meetings but they really don’t want to go back on the min.
zoom has so much more appeal for rather than meetings or door to door.

I wonder how many people out there are suddenly going to realize that the best part of the COVID shutdowns was that the JWs had stopped coming around on weekend mornings.

He still thinks that claiming that he was dating a sex worker makes him look better than admitting that he paid for sex.
"I didn't break the law! That woman is just my date! And although she can make hundreds of dollars an hour from sex-starved neckbeards any night of the week, she's totally into my personality and charm and proud to be seen hanging from my arm. The very notion that I might have paid this definitely-consenting-adult for her time is just preposterous! Can't you tell how smitten she is from these selfies I took?"

2022 Convention Sat. Afternoon part 1
by Rattigan350 ini found it ironic that the symposium "put away peace wrecker inappropriate boasting".
was presented by a helper to the publishing committee.
and all of the other talks were given by, if not gb members, but by helpers to the various committees.

It sounds like they are saying don't be boastful around one another. After all, don't they anticipate a time when they will go out and warn the world that it will be destroyed, with that warning delivered by the people favored by God to survive? Sounds boastful to me.

Was you or your family ever a local needs talk subject?
by Foolednomore inour family was always a topic on a local needs talk.
but it was funny when the brothers needed money they would come with their hands out.
this is when we lived in the states.

'Modesty in dress' may have been the one complaint we got the most, especially at conventions. The number of young ladies who wore dresses that were snug or short makes me think that they were either broadcasting their availability or (more likely) broadcasting their intention of leaving the organization the moment they were able to.
As a young man, I was not as put off by the display as the organization and the frumpy old ladies were. Which is to say, I wasn't put off at all. An attractive figure in a painted-on dress shines like a beacon in that sea of 'modesty.'

A new generation of anointed that will not pass away.
by Fisherman inobviously, the older “ anointed ” from 1914 died.
and because they were anointed, they hopefully went to heaven.
in the first century though, a newer generation did not replace the old.

The question is when, in our lifetime?
If Yahweh has been patient enough to let things go on this long, who is to say that he isn't planning to wait another hundred years? Another thousand? Another hundred thousand?
End-times numerology frequently assumes that the end is -coincidentally- going to come during the present generation's lifetime. I want to see the reaction when a bunch of "theological numerological scholars" come up with the year 3719AD as the actual date of the end of the world.

Deadpool Kills the MCU would be both funny and cathartic, at this point.

His 'work schedule' makes it difficult to keep his place clean? Two hours a week and $5 in cleaner and rags should do it. I guess the life of a professional activist is tougher than I imagined.

The day the music died.
by Fisherman inis there any new music or singers whatsoever nowadays or just junk?
and how about movies, besides documentaries is there anything at all, any movie at all, any new actor at all that that has any real worth to watch and enjoy or is it all a boring waste of time.

That's when you know you've reached one of those "age" milestones, when you gripe that the old stuff was the best. I remember when I was young and we'd roll our eyes at the old folks telling us that today's music was garbage, not like the golden age of the 30s, 40s, 50s, etc.
Now I listen to 70s, 80s, and 90s music on YouTube, and I see comments about how today's music is garbage, not like the golden age of the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and so on. And I keep catching myself about to nod, but I know it's inevitable. I just don't want to think that I'm that far along in the cycle...

That amounts to exactly $99 for a year. Very tidy!
Old motto: Jehovah is our financial support. When he stops giving, we're done.
New motto: For the low low price of just $8.25 a month, eternal salvation can be yours!!!
