when people say "armageddon may come, but not in my lifetime", that is a "satanic inspired error".. how do you overcome it?.

why, looking a it that way, adam's rebellion was less than a week ago!

jesus was here on earth just the day before yesterday!

Man, those buzz words...

One thing we can say, they are consistent with their material. I'm having a deja vu of the afternoon session and the echo through the arena with these statements. {{{shiver}}}

Holy smokes! Thinking of all you in the flood area.

No doubt dubs will spin the flood as Satan trying to prevent the DC.

What on earth happened to the magazines?

by slimboyfat in

for the first time in years today.

to say that it took me five minutes to read the whole thing would be to flatter the rag.

it doesn't even seem to contain actual articles any more, just headings and bullet points and pictures.

Doesn't it makes sense as a business to have a more simplified magazine? Could articles like "Your Servant the Pencil" and "Are Pinatas for Christians" keep anybody's interest today except for my elderly mother? How can they possibly present new and interesting information after the glut they put out twice a month, 30+ topics per Awake, including "Watching the News" for the last 60+ years?

IMHO, times are different and streamlining printed material would be a good business decision. They don't care about the readers. But they know they have to print something...they are a publishing company. I was wondering 15 years ago how in the world could they keep the amount of articles up. You can get more inane tips and news in the daily news. And I would think that they would go light on meaty articles with the scrutiny of the exJWs, and stick with fear mongering to keep the troops in line.

I9s for volunteers

by dissonance_resolved in

can you think of any reason why they would start making bethel volunteers complete i9s?

(us work authorization forms).

no compensation is received so why would it be considered employment?.

Dagney

They are likely checking to see if the applicant is eligible to work or be in this country whether paid or unpaid
Exactly. I just went through a I9 audit with DOHS. Scared the beejeebers out of us.
