  WTC has become adept at using tragedy as a means of raising cash.

  wtc has become adept at using tragedy as a means of raising cash.

  for example, when puerto rico was devastated by a hurricane, wtc directed a large number of congregations to donate $1500 each in supplies that would be used for relief purposes.

  it is not known how many congregations took part in this effort but the feedback suggests it was in the hundreds.

  LongHairGal - I hear ya loud and clear. A couple of very, good, people, JWs used to laugh at me when I assumed the people were honest and trying desperately to be in god's favor/bla/bla -- I saw through the con artists' crazy but didn't want to see it - initially! It was always funny when these good-people JWs were dealing with the same thing and the line was always, 'JWs aren't perfect but at least they're trying, right'! Oh my - it's endless.

  I could have written a book after 6 mos! It's very hard on one's physical/mental health trying to rationalize the evil and the stage productions at the hall. It's show business for many of them - they're not good actors! A family member of mine recalls my saying moons before I was ever serious about it the meetings were nothing but sales meetings - it's true.

  I'm reading link on VOXX - anything from CNN/Amazon will have to be confirmed by reputable people as well as any other.

  I agree -- I don't think he's happy with Fox -- I appreciate the info.

  Fox has lots of Democrats on and that makes it great -- the Independents get an overview and the viewers question and wait for the facts to be unearthed. I have Democratic acquaintances/friends (and liberals) who love the debates on FOX between the parties and hear info they'd never know about on other stations.

  Thank you, stillin. Believe it or not they will get called on it and retract and probably already have. Unless I misinterpreted -- I heard the reputable Joe Bastardi not defending Trump's statement - I missed the actual show but heard on taping which I was unable to finish. Is this what you're referring to?

  I'll google - appreciate!

  I hope Fox reports the facts. What are you referring to - do tell so we can follow to verify. Is this still about the Alabama. The truth will be revealed. Too bad the left cares less about the evil and unlawful acts their own politicians do - it's amazing. I'm sure half their viewers don't even hear about it.

  For sure CNN and the other fake news have no journalists or reveal the facts -- aren't interested in reporting anything truthful.

  Too bad people in these devastated areas can't be warned by their government -- maybe their news/broadcasting stations need to be notified. The converts will be wasting money giving it to the cult.

  Yes - they think those who have something they WANT have to 'share' with them - many are there to fleece. I learned hard and fast. They're too lazy to get a real job plus they want to waste time with the mucky-mucks in field service knowing they have to lock step to fit into the clique. They make the worldly folk look wonderful - and many are but there are some good JWs who are ethical and have a fear of god (whatever) or good conscience/good people whether you fit into their comfort zone/world or not. They are rare. Most only act decent when they want something. I experienced this more than I care to recall -- heard this so much from a couple that were in the medical world (professionals) - JWs are full of stage work.

  Like I was told by a PO - avoid situations hiring/dealing -- avoid all those situations so I learned to duck but was hounded by elders on their own initiative to help this loser or another -- it's quite a con game inside. Some of those good hearted elders pimp for their faves and I know their intentions were good -- until they learned otherwise! They don't care if they rob or snob you (the cons) because you have to forgive them - (oh - and it's a family) what a concept!

  YES -- YES - President Obama did accept JW book from JWs at a 'Meet and Greet' - something about prayer and religion drama. Several links online. I'd post a 'strike a pose' shot but have never done that. Not difficult to find - just google - on PinInterest, couple of website links -- the JWs went gaga over it. Understandably so.

  I think the photo may have been here on this site because I don't recall seeing it on the TV news.

  i just finished looking through the circuit overseer manual, so here are some highlights.

  first up, regarding circuit assemblies:.

  if a brother is so extremely overweight that others would be distracted if he had a part on the program, good judgment would need to be used in deciding whether to give him an assignment.

  lol/"KissHisRing" - good one! Poor guy probably died hungry. I thought all that walking in service was good exerciseo. Guess there's nothing positive about that cult.

  Do You Think People Should Be Scorned For Wearing A Red MAGA Hat?

  by minimus in

  do you support free choice to wear a political hat or article of clothing?

  if someone wants to put a bumper sticker on their car in support of a political candidate or party, should they be able to do it without fear of being maligned or abused?

  I wear mine -- with top down on my SL but drive fast/lololol. I think I'll start collecting them -- the Cardinal red color of car doesn't quite match the MAGA red of my cap but nuances/monochromatics work.

  Couple of veterans at assisted/nursing facility (where I've a family member) wear MAGA hats - have the Trump stickers on their motorized wheel chairs -- they're so adorable.

  They can especially "voice" it but some in this country encourage physical abuse without regard for law nor care to protect the citizens.
