I like the 22k spent on education and training. (For a 50 million dollar entity)

You get what you pay for.

by LogCon in

in 1969 rowan and martins laugh-in prophecied the fall of the berlin wall in 1989.. 20 years later in 1989, november, the berlin wall started to come down.. weird?.

Sally Field, Goldie Hawn, Flip Wilson, The Partridge Family Manager, Jack Benny, Kirk Douglas, Phyliss Diller, Michael Caine, Cher, The awesome chick from The Avengers (Diana ...). Sammy Davis, Jr., Leonard Nimoy, John Wayne.

Wow, what memories.

Reflections - Updating MD card - did you stop updating?

by berrygerry in

i finally removed my md card from my wallet yesterday.. although we were encouraged to create a new card annually, i had an internal hesitation, and a lack of enthusiam for it, as well as the meaningless cards for my kids.. the card that was pulled from my wallet was dated 1994. i obviously had some unconscious, if not conscious, problems with the borg, maybe with the 1995 generations bs.. did others stop updating their cards long before exiting?.

Kairos - you're the same as me, then.

Weird, isn't it?

(You wasted another 14 years, I wasted another 20 - bloody depressing)

Is truth relative?

by Pinku in

seeing various/changing laws on the same action, some may feel truth is relative, and there is no such thing as right and wrong.. yet a closer look at beneath the details would show that truth is not relative, and everyone knows what is right and wrong.. driving in the night by putting the head-light off is wrong, but right when country is in war with another country.

behind both the conflicting laws, the truth is same: safety and welfare of the people.

this is true of notion about what is right and wrong:.

To me, truth is absolute,

I have a mathematical, logical mind.

2 + 3 = 5.

That is truth.

The universe functions on precise math.

Actually, the biggest change is:

That could be the extra cost for printing all North America English mags.

This is a chart of the Canadian statements for the past 5 years.

You can see the spike in 2010, a modest increase in 2011, but then plummets in 2012 and 2013.

Unless they're moving the cash to the Caymans, those are big drops.

A model family's was interviewed - part of their daily routine is checking AT LEAST once a day, each member in a family of 5.

During the meetings I would be on the site an average of 10 times.

Hits are different than visits.

Visits are different than unique visits.

Books of "Babylon the Great" quoted by the Society

by opusdei1972 in

the watchtower says:.

true christians keep clear of false worship, rejecting false religious teachings.

this means that we avoid exposure to religious programs on radio and television as well as religious literature that promotes lies about god and his word.

There is unlimited "cherry-picking" by the WTS.

That is, they will reference a "worldly" source to bolster a particular point of view. But they will use that same source for so many other topics that are taught.
