We all know da troof is nothing but a real estate and publishing company that has a lot of money and constantly begs for more. What I don't understand is why the 7 old guys in Brooklyn don't have a villa on a secluded island or a penthouse apt in some prime real estate building on the Upper East Side or even out in the Hamptons. With all that money why are they living dormitory style and eating in a cafeteria for all of their lives? If I ran a company and was one of board of directors, why would I or anyone else live like someone who works in mail room would live?

So the patriarch of the Duggar family contacted the church elders first instead of the authorities, now where have I heard that before ?? It couldn't be from the cult that says they are the only true religion on earth and all the others are false? Couldn't be them because they follow the same rules as the wacky religion/cult the Duggars follow.

The brother I had do my mothers memorial, I pointed out to him specifically I didn't want it to sound like an advertisement for the JWs or I would choose someone else, but he was good friends with my mom so he complied, no problem.
BTW, the brother my mother always said she wanted to give her funeral talk she thought of as a son, since he lost his mom at an early age. Well, I contacted sonny boy and he said he was busy . . . I hope she heard that since they say our dead relatives spirits or still with us.

Of course Carson, Letterman Leno.
I don't understand why Fallon is so great, he giggles like a school girl when he interviews, and don't even ask about Seth Myers, WOW, seems like eleven year old boys are in charge of late night programming at NBC.
Kimmel was funny when he was on The Man Show, I only watch him when he has someone on I want to see, I've seen the clips where celebs read the bad tweets about themselves, that's funny.

JWs and their views on Sex
by campaign of hate inin the past i have read on this forum that the wt have a say in the "bedroom" of couples.
i thought that was a bit overkill at first, but recently i have come to conclusion that this is true.. the control administered by the wt cooperation on ones sex life is not on only intrusive, its damaging.
they control every aspect of ones thought and action, thus leading most down a path that said corporation wants them to tread.. this path is to get married young, and then eternal loyalty the the organisation.. so how can an organisation force you to get married young?.

Welfare and Witnesses
by adjusted knowledge ini'm ignorant to the social welfare programs outside the us, but listening to others i have to assume in europe it is more generous.
i've not had deep personal conversation with active witnesses for nearly 20 years.
last year i made contact with a family and some elders came to my house.

Surprisingly we had a sister in our Cong that was told by the elders that if she was collecting welfare they didn't let her pioneer, because that means she could work. I'm , but I'msure that was a rare approach by the elders.
A friend of my mothers that used to attend our Cong but moved to Virginia was on disability, but when she visited my mother she said she was a pioneer. So I reported her to the VA Disability Dept. for fraudulently collecting from them, they did check out her case and found out she wasn't collecting anymore at the time that I reported, that was just my part in "keeping the organization clean" !!
