Back To The Future

by 1234 in

jw
friends

i started to post this to "gorbatchov" question.. the world will not be the same.

we all know this.. the voice of "christmas future".

the governments will infuse trillions of dollars into the corporations, not its people.

About every 70 years or so the economy cycles into a depression which soon turns into war then prosperity again. The cycle can be broke but history shows it has'nt. With every depression comes great prosperity for the rich. Now the fly in the oniment today is how intertwined all the economy's of the world are. Who knows what will happen if all the world went into a deep depression. Will war be the only option? Will world governments work together? Maybe a one world government will evolve from it all, one not run by political leaders but one run by greedy corporations. Enough of my paranoid thoughts.

Most likely we are headed for a very deep recession with many small and middle size businesses going out of business. My advice is learn how to grow a garden and preserve food. Learn about the medicine chest/weeds you have growing in your back yard live very frugal and learn fundamental skills in house repairing and mechanics. If you live near or in a town get a bicycle or walk. Exercise will do you good. These are things my grandparents told me about what they had to do and more to survive the great depression of the 1930's. Good luck to all. Still Totally ADD

Happy 20th Birthday to JWD / JWN

by Simon in

as sgt pepper sang, "it was 20 years ago today" ... that i made my first post on my first forum.. i obviously didn't put too much thought into what it should say although i must have burned 45 posts testing things and was too lazy to reset the counter before going live (?):.

https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/46/welcome.

but somehow, it worked and grew and here we all are, 20 years on.

10 years ago I came on this site scared to death for coming over to the other side. Through the years this site has provided for me emotional and mental growth. Thank you for setting up this site and allowing us to have a safe haven to escape the borg. We may not always agree but it's so good to have you on our side. Again thank you. Still Totally ADD

Losing job todays WT

by road to nowhere in

the losing jobs and having poor health will be applied for sure in whatever meeting is held.. but i wonder if anyone will connect the middle aged man losing his job and the old and the sick with the way bethelites are treated..

Still Totally ADD

As this crisis goes from fighting the virus to a very, very deep recession I can see the contribution going down the tubes for the wt. Some Congregation may not have the money to pay any money to the borg. Then what? Kick everyone out lower expectations of cash flow or dip into their billions in off shore accounts.

This will not end the borg but it could cut into the numbers by those leaving. We can only hope so. Still Totally ADD

What SHOULD have woken you up ?

by Phizzy in

for myself, there is an embarrassingly long list of things that really should really have woken me up, fully.

it was a long process for me, as a mind controlled born in, things i simply did not agree with, or knew were downright wrong, that built and built, and, eventually i woke up, after 58 bloody years in !.

but just mainly for fun, what should have woken you up ?.

Still Totally ADD

Being a born-in it was very difficult to accept anything but the borgs teachings. 1976 should have woke me up, the talk in the mid 80's to debunk Ray's actions, when they started pushing hard the so called faithful slave as the only way to salvation and finally the generation teaching. None of those woke me up it was instead the 2 weeks spent at Bethel working on building that were empty. Go figure! It was the beginning of the end for me to escape the borg. Still Totally ADD

Have you Witnessed a Change in People's Life-Style / Behaviour where you Live?

by smiddy3 in

i certainly have , over the normal week i go to one of two clubs where i have two beers over a couple of hours ( i pace myself ) and catch up with a few friends .

one of the clubs every hour goes around to disinfect everywhere people make contact with pokies /machines or whatever we might touch.and they also now have limits as to how many can be in a certain area at any one time.and that applies to both clubs ,except one does not disinfect every hour.. today, their were far fewer people in this particular club that i attended that is usually bustling with patrons on a saturday either drinking gambling and socializing .not today.

and a strict rule of how many could be in a certain area at any one time .. and i agree with all of this , its necessary .and i will be monitoring my own activities as need be.. what have you noticed in your neck of the woods.?

Here in western New York it is a ghost town. Most of the stores are closed only grocery stores, Walmart, home depot and drivethroughs on restaurants are open. All of them are operating on limited hours. I can see if it goes for several months all the mom and pop stores will be gone. Hard times are acoming. Still Totally ADD

Generally Speaking Do You Trust Your Government?

by minimus in

jw
friends

as a us citizen, i am usually a bit skeptical of what comes out of the mouths of government officials.

often they may speak the truth but i’m not convinced of whatever they are saying as being 100% true.

do you believe your government implicitly?

Same thoughts about you littlerockguy. I gave you the proof just watch the news. The same place I heard trump give his wisdom. Still Totally ADD

GB to ship TP

by Smiles in

"the governing body loves you!".

the gb lovingly spends millions to ship literature everywhere.

the gb lovingly has toilet paper regularly delivered to elite watch tower facilities around the world.. will the unfailing love of the gb move them to ship toilet paper to their needy followers?

If you do that RubaDub you will get a spiritual cleansing from the bottom up. Lol. Take care. Still Totally ADD

I know I always go to a reglious institutions for my news and health care. NOT!!! Unbelievable the stuff that comes out of the borgs mouth. I have in-laws and a older brother that are elders who lives in TN and I wonder if they are going to survive this pandemic. They won't speak to us soon I hope they don't listen to this garbage.
