Teddnzo -- congregations could be likened to pubs or bars these days just without the drinks, those come at other times. Hilarious!

Longey -- I'm sure the 'worthless religion' would love having a 'fringey' like you back in the ranks contributing in the new tithing program. Hard to believe they hit on the single women for handouts - what a group of misfits. I recall slugs throwing around the term, 'he/she/they don't like to share' their possessions, etc. Parasites had found their religion for prey🙏🏻. Salvation army and respectable charitable orgs had probably tossed them to the curb or they were double-hitting.

Can the Watchtower Society survive without time reports?
by DT inthere has already been much discussion about how the watchtower society has declared in australia that going door to door is part of a personal ministry.
this seems to be a lame attempt to avoid liability considering that they require time reports and have formal meetings for field service at the kingdom hall.. this is a bit of a dilemma.
reporting time and formal meetings for field service are important methods of control, however it's not clear if the organization is willing or able to handle the potential liability that may come from this.. imagine what would happen if they lost these methods of control.

Has there ever been a defector or turncoat from the financial arena of WT? The bean counters must get a cut 😂 -- not sure how they maintain privacy and protect/secure the group's secrecy other than execution of confidentiality agreements/clauses thus paying/retaining professional accounting firms. Use the in-house volunteers for basic bookkeeping only.
Professional CPA firms aren't inexpensive - can't imagine their legal/accounting costs.

Didn't they implement new contribution plan? Was the recent rant for funds to jog their memory and fire up the adherents -- whatever they're called these days -- members not publishers or some krazy. They know who follows the rules and regs re/contributing so will they ostracize or down vote 'sincere ones' from the pecking order if they can't spring/hand over funds! Must be very difficult for some. Most likely, same ole die hards are paying as usual as they plod along for blessings plus toss in extra bucks for the corporation's begging efforts.
Longy - those sheeple with retirement plans (if still kickin') are looking pretty good in the club now.

Encouraging scriptures for the day
by Kosonen inhello my friends,.
here are some encouraging scriptures for the day:.
revelation 21:2 i also saw the holy city, new jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from god and prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.. hebrews 11:10 for he (abraham) was awaiting the city having real foundations, whose designer and builder is god.. revelation 21:24 and the nations will walk by means of its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.. revelation 22:1 and he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, flowing out from the throne of god and of the lamb 2 down the middle of its main street (of the holy city).

Wow - EasyPrompt - have never listened to Willie's music other than couple hits. I like 'Crazy' written by Willie. Heard one day it was the #1 song played worldwide on juke boxes -- something like that. The first singer he asked turned him down and Patsy Cline was his 2nd pick -- can't imagine anyone singing it other than Patsy Cline.

Vegas is great -- incredible shopping (step below Rome, Italy) and more 5-Star restaurants than any other place. Beautiful weather in the fall, winter, spring and rated the most popular place people want to relocate. Great prices on homes compared to California (my beloved Laguna as well as other locations) but only on small/medium ones. Luxury homes/prestigious areas are not a bargain. Employment opportunities are great - capitalism at it's best.
Great entertainment and now home of the Formula 1 races not to mention Vegas Golden Knights, the Stanley Cup Winners, the Aces women basketball champions, the Las Vegas Raiders and possibly a major league baseball team. Two Nascar race events yearly - professional golf tournament presently going on (Shriners), UNLV medical/dental/law schools and Las Vegas fabulous strip w/multi-million visitors annually. From Vegas you can shoot off to the Grand Canyon, Lake Mead, Mt. Charleston, Red Rock Canyon, Death Valley and when temperatures are hot so cal w/magnificent beaches is easy drive. I head off to my beloved 2nd home Laguna Beach.
In addition to all of the above the Super Bowl will be held in LV in February 2024 - woohoo.
Hope you enjoy your trip to LV, the entertainment capital of the world - great shows! Everyone I know has a blast here.
