Construction Halts & other cutbacks - Here's what I think happened

by Listener in

to get to the point straight away i think the crane accident that occurred at warwick was a significant catalyst that has caused the org.

to change its plans suddenly.. list of assumptions, not all of them are validated.

- there was a serious crane accident that occurred at warwick approx.

Is there any confirmation of a major crane accident?

Stranger in my own house, Since my wife and i don't talk much anymore nor sleep in the same bed. i feel like a stranger.

by goingthruthemotions in

my wife is shunning me.

she is always in cult mode, we don't talk anymore, we don't sleep in the same bed.

i have been sleeping on the couch.

That sounds miserable. I'm not sure that I could stay in a situation like that. Is separation an option?

Earliest Life on Earth Pushed Back Another 300 Million Years

by cofty in

researchers have found evidence of ancient microorganisms that lived in what is now western australia at least 4.1 billion years ago.

if confirmed, the discovery suggests that life originated on earth 300 million years earlier than previously thought.

.... the ancient microorganisms in question were found trapped inside zircons formed from magma in western australia.

I am hoping that in our lifetime we will find out that DNA is common to the universe.

>Yes. It makes the emergence of life almost inevitable

this is fascinating stuff. But I'm not sure what you mean here. Could you please explain?

we had another letter read this week from the 'slave' that asked for more money again.. it asked for a resolution to be passed by all congregations in support of the circuit overseer to pay their expenses and medical expense was included in there.. a resolution was put on the floor and voted upon and agreed by show of hands that our congregation would send over $2,000 for the year 2016.. the society broke it down to how much it would be per year for each publisher but i do not remember what they suggested.. i was glad i was listening in and not present this week because it would have been obvious i did not support the resolution because my hand would not have been up when the attendance took a count.. has anyone here also had the letter read at their service meeting this week?.

This was read at our hall as well and it was the same $15 amount. This was for two separate funds. I think the abbreviations were GAA and TOAA. One is for CO cars and health care and the other was for the worldwide insurance fund. The CO car and health care seems legitimate. But the insurance fund seems bogus to me. I don't know the amount per publisher for last year but I am pretty sure that this years is higher.

JW facts is good. Any other good ideas? Needs to be short and sweet. Perhaps "Google Cantice Conti". Not sure if u can use spaces though.

I had the same exact idea but I never had the balls to go through with it. What would be fantastic is it would also let other closet apostates know that there is another one in their midst

One 30year oldish single bethel lifer went to this class and then got assigned to the service department. What a privilege he gets to be working side by side with tight pants tony.
