Oh Millie, I hate their policy and everything to do with it for sure. I just think that it's easy to make more of a situation than there is because of that hatred. Emotionally charged subjects can make for the most irrational discussions. It's easy for me to get worked up about anything having to do with kids because they have no choice.

To be fair, the clapping was about seeing him again in the resurrection, not that he died. That doesn't negate the fact that everything they do is based on false reasoning, and that a child likely died when he didn't have to (don't know if blood would have truly saved him), but it seems a bit click-bait-y to link their clapping with his death rather than his resurrection.

I don't see where this indicates a change of any type. In some countries brothers have been allowed to have beards, and not in others. More of the same, at least as I see it.

Jehovers Witnesses are not the only ones....
by The Rebel in"more than half of the people in the u.k either aren't saving at all or they aren't saving enough to give themselves the standard of living they hope for" ( the money advice service).
how do you have your retirement planned?.
as for myself, i never botherd with putting money in a pension, i opted instead to invest in buy to let properties.

@heartsafire -. Help those that help themselves. Let those that make their own bed lie in it. You have to take care of yourself first and become financially strong before even beginning to help someone else. Those judgemental people can only rely on you if you let them. You hold the power, not them. Doesn't the Bible say that to the extent you give it will be given you. JWs are notorious takers and should be given nothing in my opinion. It only enables their bad behavior.

Oh yeah, most people in general are ill prepared for retirement, especially since people live longer now. Even people that had pensions and thought they were set find the pension running out of money because they weren't designed for people to live on another 30 years.
Myself, I'm currently screwed but honestly primarily because I never made enough money and had poor money handling skills. I'm now much better. My wife and I clean houses but we live a month ahead on our budget now, have a six month emergency fund including deductible in case of medical emergency, and we're saving money every month. The plan is to start putting money in index funds this year. At 39 and 36, we have enough working years to be okay. We should retire with our modest house paid off, and we don't buy anything else on debt now.

I'm also a fan of the podcast. I like that you discuss articles that are more than just surface level fluff pieces. I subscribe to yours, among others, and although your show isn't the OG JW podcast it is my second favorite ex-JW show right now. JW Podcast was great but very inconsistent (learn a lesson from that) and their audio quality is in the toilet right now as they're going through yet another change. Apostate Awake is my favorite, though not really always ex-JW centered. The Critical Thought Podcast can be good as well.

Makes me remember when I was younger and helped remove rows of chairs from the KH to make it look fuller. I had forgotten about that. Attendance was down and it didn't look so empty that way.

Very dark and confusing info...
by sp74bb insome internal sources in jw.org has brought me attention to the following data:.
- in which european country, not member of the eu, and well known for their banking industry, jw.org and some affiliated structures do maintain some business incorporated structures and companies?.
- which is the purpose of these business and company structures?.
