i can`t believe the tidbits i`m finding out about the changes ,dumbing down of the meetings i used to attend and participate in up until the late 1980`s ...
Slidin Fast:
I agree with everything as that's my situation too. I just have to add that creativity in talks can still be possible, (it probably differs by area). I've been counciled once or twice, but I'm pleasantly surprised with the sheer amount of reverse witnessing I've been able to get away with over the last 4 years.
so, it's been said before how the left ends up eating its own.. and now we have the case of star wars actress - can i say 'actress'?
- daisy ridley ('rey').. in a recent guardian article, she essentially denies her privilege by saying that her star wars co-star john boyega ('finn') is just as privileged as she is.. daisy ridley descends from the fitz-corbetts (landed gentry) on her mother's side; her paternal grandfather was high up in the bbc and she went to a fee-paying school.
and john boyega grew up on a peckham council estate.
How is she part of 'The Left' exactly?
I think that most people by default are subject to 'the left' because in many areas it's the primarily promoted ideology, and until they do research/accept certain facts they'll be prone to it whether or not they hold strong opinions on various matters related to it. For instance, Daisey Ridley was quoted as saying that every "sane" person opposes Trump. This could be a strongly held belief, or it more likely is the assumption of what 'everybody' knows to be true, a common, basic fallacy.
Don't answer if you're PIMO

jw broadcasting sept 2019 issue commentary.
according to the jw in the sept 2019 episode, the ukrainian soccer player andriy nesmachniy (go to 1:04:14 in the video) "abandoned" his career for jehovah????
he retired at 32 years old, the normal retirement age among soccer players.
True. And he overdosed on meds that he deliberately obtained through questionable means.

Awesome! I would love to have been there. You don't have your old notes by any chance? 😬
good day to all.
has anybody checked if there are any "adjustments" in jw old books available on the app?
i mean if info that this world was going to end during 20th century and so forth were changed by the publisher.
The change you mention about the 20th century had already been changed in print for the bound volume. Otherwise no, they haven't changed anything: from Rutherford calling himself an ass, 1975, this generation, organ transplants etc. It's all there, some back to 1950.
