If the Jehovahwood Studios are going to be built with slave labor anyway, where are all the excess 'voluntary donations' going to go?
Any accountability? Transparency? Redistribution to the penniless privileged ones?
I guess as a money making scheme it's kind of transparent.
so a few things .... apparently it's superbowl 54, and also the centennial of the sport.
erm ... i'm not a mathematician, but aren't there 46 superbowls missing?.
americans claim that uk sport ("soccer", aka real football) is too low scoring.

Akin to number of PL titles since FA began. There was a merge of two leagues to form the NFL, and national championships since then.
it was announced today that we will have a special weekend meeting next month.
it will be 3 hours long and will include some streamed content.. no explanation was given as to what the meeting will be about, only that it will be exciting and we will not want to miss it..
Might be about the release of the new ArmageddonApp for your phone.
Makes a ticking noise in your pocket with a subliminal chant of "Donate, donate, donate!"
If you dont use your CC within 24 hours you get hit by lightning.
could this be because - *gasp* - because this whole transgender scene is a big turn off?.
Didn't know she was transgender. I thought she was female.
My mum sees a female doctor, so I don't find it unusual. :)
Haven't watched it much since Tom Baker/Pete Davison era, but Billie Piper was yum.
aren't they tiring out from saying this now?.
a jobo pimi-lite i know has a terminal illness (no names, no pack drill), was told, 'hold on, the end is so close.
the pimi-lite said they will need to hold on to their 'go bags(tm), then!.

jehovah's witnesses leaders ordered to pay rape victim £62,000 damages.
the woman was raped by a fellow jehovah's witness after going door-to-door evangelising near cardiff, glamorgan, 30 years ago, mr justice chamberlain heard.
Unfortunately, it's a pittance in terms of the damage caused, and compared to the vast wealth of the corporation.
What should be shouted from the rooftops is that a self appointed, entirely partial jury of abuse enablers, failed to do anything about it at the time, and it appears 20 years elapsed before any type of justice was set in motion.
Seems therefore they did not pass on what they knew to police, which should be a crime in itself.
i think it's closer to 5 million with all the selling of kingdom hells and branch bethel's all over the world.
it's even hard to get a hard copy of the lastest craptower or afake mag now in new york city..
I think they have always exaggerated numbers.
Any organization that proclaims their view to be the superior and only true one usually does.
It's basically - "Hey look at us. Our numbers are growing. Folks have figured out we MUST be right!"
At it's heart, it's a huge sign of insecurity.
sooo.... i've been perusing recent topics for a few minutes and seeing pretty much the standard jw fare these days - scandals, abuse, bad behavior, cover ups, bullying, shunning, family splits, torturous extrications from a cult, mind control etc.. i started to try and think of anything the dubs were doing that was actually beneficial to mankind in any way, and i'm struggling.
without being facetious, wtf do they do to make anybody's life better?
help me out here.. pros.

PROS
Employment for cart manufacturers
Employment for abuser defence lawyers
Some stadium hire, probably big discount
Hotel room hire
Fast food consumption.
Tablet sales.
Give your Auntie Mabel somewhere to go on a Wednesday night.
Yeah, Im reaching..
Would be more here but all their labor costs are from slaves volunteers.
CONS
No charity work, unless you're a loyal JW. Even then, better if you're in a disaster overseas.
Hand over your meagre savings please. We will use it to help pay for your indoctrination.
No higher education, so a low paying job for you, if any.
Child abuse
Cover up of child abuse
Protection of abusers
Shunning >> Split families> costly mental and emotional health issues
No transfusions >> needless death
Loss of government income through tax free occupation of property.
Trauma and Suffering from Abuse, Shunning. Aged Poverty, Bullying > Huge health costs
Non voting, no military service (kind of lazy really)
Gas wastage on FS
Vast paper wastage until digital age.
Anything positive I can think of is offset. Ok they buy a lot of bad cheap suits but no birthday cakes.
I'm sure I've missed some but they really are a LONG way in debit in terms of being useful humans, yet believe they are special. Kind of bizarre when examined this way.
What percentage do you think know deep down that their lives are a waste but feel trapped by some circumstance. I think that number is rising with a bullet as opposed to those who genuinely believe they are about to board a train to Paradise for being good soldiers.
the watchtower doesn't hold out any hope for us ever seeing our beloved animals again.
i find it very difficult to believe that god -- a god of love -- would refuse to resurrect an animal that we had become so attached to.
over the years i have bonded with no less than four (4) dogs, all of which were/are like family to me.
You can still be with your beloved pets after death.
Just get adjoining burial plots.
Some worming tablets for you both might make your afterlives more pleasant.
