Yes re/"Environmental Cult" and it's stressful/discouraging to many who just want/need to take in factual info w/out the political agenda. The scientists and climatologists seem to be at odds -- before I get blasted - I realize majority support climate change view. The cult side isn't going to consider any other views/facts. Hope I didn't go out of boundaries here. I'm not negative re/climate change -- there has to be an adverse effect.

Money! How much did you "Contribute" To The WTB@TS When You Were A Member
by The Bethelite ini was in full time service for six years including bethel.
once i got out of bethel, i figured i had already given them six of the best years of my life (ages 18-24) working as a slave/drone in their factory, so i rationalized that i had given them enough... so over the next 27 years i would say maybe $200 bucks is it.
i think their whole "voluntary contributions" idea is biting them in the ass, because over all jehovah's witnesses are a cheap group people with a few exceptions.

Too much and I want my money back - lying crooks! Between the member beggars and trying to own a cult library - providing work for losers and the money check in the drop box I would have had better odds at the sports book or roulette wheel with my eyes closed and I don't gamble nor know anything about it. I became suspicious when a big clique elder (most were very kind and nice but I didn't deal with any of them) spouted off of platform JWs were resolved to serve Jehovah whether the end was coming or not! WOW! No cubbies - nothin' in sight.

Would You Stop Buying A Product Because of Political Differences?
by minimus inwould you stop buying nike products because you didn’t like their politics?
conversely, would you give business to a company because you liked their political stand on a matter?
would you stop watching an entertainer because you disagree with their political perspectives?

I had a friend who refused to buy women's sweaters because so overpriced compared to mens (even designer and good quality). She'd buy men's sweaters and wear them -- over the top to me but she was very feminine and pulled it off. I think these inflated prices in the female category cross over to practically everything. Women pay for alterations at the department store -- men do not at a few stores. Men can get a $20 haircut - women pay that much (and more) for tipping. Nothing is fair.

I'd recognize Beyonce today but not in that pic - she's one very big girl today. Didn't realize she's the 'greatest' singer but appreciate the info.

Thank you, AndersonInfo, for all your hard work and relentless effort to help the victims of child sexual abuse.
I didn't think I'd make it through the video clip but glad I did.

She's a beautiful woman -- one class act regardless of photography and in a league of her own.

Isn't she (Melania) partially covered in the "nude" photos? I don't think this is such a big deal -- she is a professional model and we art students have been doing life drawings since the 60s and the models are stark naked. Of course, society expects and places higher expectations of political leaders (or did) but how many of the presidents have done serious cocaine and other drugs - alcohol so not exactly choir boys.

What Is Trump Doing with China now and his supporters that smell like a Walmart?
by RubaDub inisn't trump shooting himself in the foot when he is on the verge of (or already in) a trade war with china?
isn't walmart like 95% chinese stuff?.
won't there be a backlash when many of his supporters that want to upgrade to indoor plumbing see how much it costs with all the tariffs?

President Trump the first president to stand up to China in 50 years -- lots to think about! Even some hard-liner lefts are supporting him -- amazing!

Our congregation will be deleted
by Rattigan350 inlast night was the co's visit.
prior to his part, an elder had a part on following theocratic direction.
it was about our congregation being deleted (there are 2 sharing this hall) and the people and territory being divided up to the 4 other surrounding ones.. they say it is not about numbers but about making best use of resources.

LongHairGal - it's gone from bad to worse. I was always being hounded yrs. ago in one way or the other. They were poor back then or too lazy to work climbing the WT echelon to fit in with the hard-liner clique. Made me sick. They needed everything from cars to rent money plus taking advantage of every state aid program imaginable but kept it quiet. So much for the scripture if one doesn't work they don't eat. If they did work they expected a week's pay for 2 hrs. of ineptness.
