  ''The new arrangement also means that your congregation would no longer own its Kingdom Hall. Each congregation that agrees to the proposal would donate its funds and any property it owns, to KHT. KHT would then have an obligation to ensure that Kingdom Halls continue to be available for your worship.''

  An obligation to ensure that Kingdom Halls [but not necessarily the one you used to own because we've just sold it] continue to be available for your worship. [your new nearest Hall is now 50 miles away]

  ''We are now proposing that congregations throughout our branch territory be dissolved as charities and merge with a legal entity called The Kingdom Hall Trust, hereafter referred to as ‘KHT’. KHT is an incorporated charity that has been used for many years to hold title to Kingdom Halls.''

  a millionaire, a billionaire, and a trillionaire recognize each other outside an attorney’s office.

  chat reveals each of them just signed off on their last will and testament.millionaire: “i feel really good about what i did here today.

  Anonymous, 152 UK police officers died in the line of duty in 2019? I never knew that. Compared to 158 in the USA?

  Where did you get that information from as the link you supplied doesn't agree with that .

  I thought it was 1 in the U.K.

  ''If you are elderly, stay home. If you are sick, stay home. If you have a preexisting condition that that would make you more susceptible to COVID-19, stay home.''

  Would it have been better if that had been the worldwide message and policy all along from day 1?

  Kids Without Rules

  i see a lot of kids that rarely get discipline.

  they are allowed to do whatever they want and if someone says something to them they don’t want to hear, they blow them off, ignore them or engage in disrespectful talk.. what’s wrong with today’s parents??

  they are producing a generation of entitled brats!.

  Isn't it one of the signs of the last days? Children have always been so well behaved for the last 6,000 years.

  Socrates (469–399 B.C.)

  ''The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.''
