  Are You Concerned About Inflation?

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  i saw a statistic the other day that something like 25% of all the debt that the us has incurred since 1776 was created in the last 12 months.

  that's because they have printed so much currency and instead of letting that stop them, they are going to continue printing more to go on a spending spree on crazy green-new-deal schemes and union handouts.. does anyone think that this can be anything other than inflationary?

  they are effectively stealing the wealth of everyone to then hand money out to people.

  Per media Ukraine holds the cards for wheat/fertilizer but this horrific drought in the West's bread basket of the world (or was - San Joaquin Valley/Central Cal) is a problem. The idea of food shortages and hoarding is horrific.

  In NV worse drought in 1200 yrs. along with high temperatures (118 degrees) have caused Lake Mead's water level to drop below 35% capacity few mos ago -- emergency pumps activated. Turbines producing power at Hoover Dam cannot function at full capacity. Construction (new housing developments) trying to keep up with demand but w/interest rates and economy horror who knows for how long. Residents battle to keep lawns thriving and halt further housing development. Until those Rockies have serious snow fall this is not good.

  Going to view the Saifedean Ammous' youtube. Hope I can take it all in and wish I had the optimism many conservatives have -- just win the election and all will be good/unreal! Gov has printed money for how many decades!! Back to delusions of being a radical optimist.

  paul's gospel: .

  now, brothers and sisters, i want to remind you of the gospel i preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand.

  Wrong Religion

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we brainstormed a while back on this forum and pooled our knowledge on how to recognize false religion.

  i think the list is worth reviewing and adding to if possible.

  please feel free to correct and or add insights of your own to this list:.

  Which Bible Translation.....

  by BoogerMan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ....is the best, in your opinion?.

  out of the numerous translations i've had/used, i can honestly state that the 2001 translation is head & shoulders above all the others i've ever consulted, imo.

  the publishers even invite suggestions/corrections to be submitted.

  Will the ministry ever resume?

  by optimisticskeptic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  going on 2+ years of no public ministry.

  can't imagine anyone is really enjoying letter writing still or that it's remotely effective.

  i'm a little shocked that we haven't resumed yet but i guess that's what happens when the org is run by a bunch of old people (ie high risk for covid) and a bunch of other sheltered germaphobes.

  If some of the hype re/the jabber negatives is true could be a rough couple yrs. ahead - might be limited amount of JWs doing door-to-door ministry. Hope negatives are 100% wrong - I prefer to have JWs well - very stressful!

  I've never received so many JW letters as via the USPS past few yrs -- receiving couple mailings per yr. before Covid. I can't stand buying all the stamps as it is can't imagine - must cut down on the JWs monthly donations.

  ? Is the Heb/Greek Interlinear (w/Concordance) a W/T publication - I assume there are a few to choose from.

  Curious the ratings on the NWT although I was use to it moons ago.

  Prediction of how Watchtower going to be in 5 Years.

  by Foolednomore in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i can see it that watchtower will become an online/tv based group with just con-vention hall$.. field service would be letter writing and phone preaching, door to door is done.. watchtower will have pay to view programs and still ask for donations after all that.. zoom meetings are here to stay.

  kingdumb halls will be sold off except for con-vention venues, or need for new ones$.. df'ing will continue.

  the craziness will continue.

  You run four bakeries? WOW - hard work and need conscientious, ethical, employees. What kind of bakery? Hard to find good one here in the desert - best on the strip and one at the Bellagio that has the greatest cake ever. The frosting looks like it's level 5 smooth wall plaster - beautiful decor like the modern-day wedding cakes.

  Oh if I could only make great cakes.⭐️
