it seems like the only possibilities are women of color.
no whites need apply.. maybe he will change his mind and ask hillary clinton?
?.
Trump is having a hard time with Biden's pick.
She is:
-- A Democrat
-- A woman
-- From California
-- Asian-American
-- A woman of color
-- Mother was from India
-- Father was from Jamaica
His brain is frozen - there's too much to process, he can't decide which characteristic / ethnicity to insult first.
so watching the cults assembly video i am a bit confused about the whole girl asking about marijuana.
non medical use what exactly is that.
what do they mean "medical?
JWs are allowed to take drugs (even things like opiods & marijuana) if they are prescribed by a doctor. This would be "medical" use of drugs.
If they don't have a doctor's prescription but use these drugs anyway, that is "non-medical" or "recreational" use and that will get you DF'ed. Or, as in the case of the convention video, it will prevent you from "qualifying" to be an unbaptized publisher.
we hear daily "a woman or color".
one person here mentioned that nikki haley (parents are from india) is a woman of color.. what defines "woman of color?
" is there some scan gun that they put point at your head and defines the pigmentation?.
tottenkopf, have you met WTWizard?
You two would get along swimmingly.
hello there, fellow believers!
i'm here today to talk about something that has been bothering my mind and my heart.
i truly want to find a woman who knows jehovah's name and worships him.
So....in other words.....
Gotta find a woman, gotta find a woman, gotta find a woman, gotta find a woman?
Here are some pointers, this might help:
you will be resurrected.
but if you live one more day when armageddon starts you will die a horrible death with no chance of a resurrection.
makes sense to me!.
Not to mention that every day that Armageddon delays, there are about 360,000 new babies born.
That's about 130 million newborn babies per year.
So no matter when Armageddon comes, there will be 130 million babies less than one year old who will be slaughtered by Jesus & his 144,000 cohorts. 260 million below the age of 2, etc.
Infants who would not have to have been slaughtered if Armageddon had come a year or 2 earlier.
Infants who will be slaughtered because their parents refused to accept a magazine from a mumbling 10 year old "unbaptized publisher", or because their parents ignored the poorly-dressed loons manning an apathy cart, or because they threw out a barely legible unsolicited letter which does little more than point them to a website.
Isn't that happifying?
i see ken flodine spelling saying in the new zoom assembly that you should meditate.
when i was in the cult that was a huge no no.
it was called blanking your mind and the demons could take control.
SBF is exactly right.
"Meditate" is another one of those words that they have redefined to suit their needs.
Meditate = sit and think about WT writings.
Spiritual = performing actions that WT approves of
Mature = not questioning anything that the WT has written
Etc.
one thing we were always taught in the past is how we should sit down and pray (kneel) to jehoober whenever we were at an event where they played the national anthem.
we had to actively disrespect the flag and anthem and be no part of the world, because we were our own country with jesus as king.. given kneeling/sitting for the national anthem is now the favorite pastime of the far-left and if you do so, you get associated with democrats, how do jehovah's witnesses now 'become no part of this world' when they have to disrespect the flag?.
I was always embarrassed by the "remain seated during the national anthem" JW dictate.
My parents were folks who never like to draw attention to themselves, so they taught me this clever workaround for sporting events: A few minutes before the anthem is to be played, take a walk to the bathroom. If they still haven't finished by the time you are done, just hang out in the walkway below the seats until they have finished, then walk back to your seat.
Of the dozens of MLB games I have attended over the years, I don't think I ever saw the first pitch of the game from my seat.
it was announced at the meeting.
do what you are able to because of covid.. i think i should sign up as i’m able to meet the hour requirements.
.
Not a permanent change, but "until further notice".
However, I don't see door-to-door work resuming for at the absolute minimum another year, more realistically, 2, 3, or even more years into the future.
So, yeah, if you ever wanted the title "pioneer" but dreaded the idea of, you know, pioneering, now is the time!
does the information about mandatory donations in this post sound accurate to you?.

$8.50 per publisher and 8.6 million publishers worldwide
$8.50 per month is the amount for the USA. The amounts are different, usually much less, than for other countries.
And these are "suggested" amounts, Some congregations will pay less, and some will pay more.
And has been noted earlier on this thread, these amounts go toward covering CO expenses and Kingdom Hall liability coverage expenses. These amounts have been collected in a similar manner for 15-20 years or more.
All that said.....yes, it's a big chunk of change going into the WTS coffers every month. But it is certainly nothing new.
and this isn't a cult?
just saw my wife put on her name tag for the zoom assembly.... what the what?
i thought these things werent even live.
Maybe a necktie keeps the holy spirit from escaping
Very funny! So how do the sisters keep it from getting away?
That's what the doily / napkin / head covering is for!
