Retirement savings

by TxNVSue2023 in

what's the current jw stance on retirement savings?

i know it changed.

pre1975 it was an attitude of "don't worry about retirement, this system is ending soon".

Unbelievable Amount of PIMOS at Massachusetts JW Convention

by RESPECTFUL OBSERVER in

this comment was made on reddit, perhaps protesting is starting to get the witnesses' attention.. it amazed me how many jehovah's witnesses exiting the convention were reading the protester's signs.

some of the witnesses were taking pictures of the signs.

jws were going by and smiling and giving a thumbs up.

This may be off topic on this thread but I thank God for people like Alex Jones and PrisonPlanet for some of the information I have received from some of his work. Some stuff that I have learned from him I will hear through mainstream outlets YEARS later.

Do I believe EVERYTHING that comes out of his mouth? No. Like everything else I try to corroborate and bring things together. I also don't listen to his show religiously every day like some and a lot of times he seems unhinged but he knows more than a lot of people give him credit for.

I would trust him more than I would mainstream and cable news networks.

Rainbow 🌈 Law Makers will turn on Religion NOT the UN

by JohnTron7 in

it should be starting to become more clear to people what i've stated for years on this site.

the threat against religion that becomes pivotal will come from lgbtq politicians forcing through " hate crime" bills aimed at religions.

in the past i have had a " maybe" statement from only one commenter.

Realizing it wasn’t much more than a toothless, jumped-up debating forum

Vidiot:

The UN has more powers than you realize.

Moral responsibility.

by nicolaou in

no subtlety here, it's going to be obvious where i'm going with this.

please consider the following scenario.. you're seated on a railway platform bench waiting for your train.

a high speed intercity is about to hurtle through without stopping when you see a small child running to the platforms edge!

The book in which the miniseries Roots was based on was a fabricated pile of bullshit.

Reddit post about elder asking congregation for money to fix his car!

by LongHairGal in

jw
friends

yes, there’s a post on reddit.

it says that after a zoom meeting a request was made to baptized publishers to give $20 apiece to fix this elder’s car.. while this sounds highly irregular to me and not necessarily approved by the religion, i am not at all surprised at the nerve.

this, unfortunately, seems to be the direction that things are going there!

LongHairGal,

If I was still in the org now and if somebody came up to me asking for money to support those in the "full time ministry" by giving them money I would come unglued.

I remember times when I was still an active witness in my early 20 struggling during bad economic downturns and spending time couch hopping at a friend's place (a "worldly" friend at that) temporarily. It always bothered me that they would collect money for elders, pioneers and overseers but when rank and file publishers had financial problems and stuff all they would do is share scriptures like Matthew 6:33. Sickening.

American Healthcare: How your system works

by Diogenesister in

canada has universal healthcare.

the consensus is that america never will.

can anyone explain why, please?

Now when an uninsured young person (or millions of illegal aliens crossing our border requires care (emergency room) they cannot be denied care (Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act of 1986) but in the end the hospital has to deal with not enough revenue to keep the hospital open and sometimes have to close down.

The currently missing 'Titan' submarine. What do you think?

by SydBarrett in

jw
friends

any opinions are just speculation, but my guess, being morbid, is that there was not a hull breach and implosion (although that would have been the most merciful fate for them), but instead the amateur level of building this thing meant that it lost power and communication and got itself tangled in the titanic's wreckage or is sitting on the actual seabed with no way to release ballast to resurface.

terrifying.

what's your gut feeling?

littlerockguy

Just more casulties of wokeness. The CEO wanted to be "inspirational" and "50 year old white guys" aren't so he didn't hire them.

Is a one-world government imminent?

by BoogerMan in

according to countless sources, the planet is rapidly heading towards it.

example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-vhk3ko3wi.

so it looks like the one-world government of revelation 17:17 is also being predicted by atheists!

littlerockguy

James O'Keefe also gives a glimpse of BlackRock, part of the network that exercises a lot of global power that's part of the real "invisible government".

The planet has been headed toward it, or at least trying to, for at least the last 100 years.

Read Captains and the Kings by Taylor Caldwell. Published over 50 years ago it is very spot on with what is going on today. Has a good list of older books listed in the back of the book for further research into the movers and shakers of the geopolitical power structure of the past 100 years.
