Jack Ma and the Alibaba story-China's first International Billionaire

by fulltimestudent in

this is a cut and paste for australia's canberra times, my only comment is to remark on the ordinariness of his rise from a chinese perspective.. i could likely post a thousand stories of people like jack ma, growing up in relative poverty, and now- through hard work and an eye for an opportunity- extremely rich.

ma's story is the story of nearly all of them.

it's part of what makes the story of china's rise so fascinating.

Thanks for that, nice to read about the man behind the company.

Been following the IPO for a few months, will be interesting to see where the company opens tomorrow, I'll guess around $95 a share.

BORG running low on $$$??

by fader77 in

dear brothers:.

re: personal literature supply.

reducing existing stock at the branch office before the revisions are released.

LostGeneration

Well they are always looking to save $$$ where they can.

Im sure plenty of JWs have loads of trash filling up their basements. Get it back to the KH and into circulation and there is less demand from HQ.

"how did we do?" service meeting part

by nowwhat? in

the elder was just giddy with excitement!

20,000 hours put in!

14,000 tracts and brochures!

That was a wake up call for me, when I had those parts and had to try to find an "experience" from one of the pioneers in the congo.

When the best experiences were always "nice conversations" i realized I was participating in a circle jerk.

Today's WT. article guilt trips my ex again!

i know they're called exes for a reason, but my ex-gf and i had repaired our relationship which had been ruined due to my awakening.

she had stopped talking to me for months after the elders told her no to associate with anyone who disagrees with the "slave.

" of course since she has her own doubts and she still loves me, she eventually began talking to me again.

LostGeneration

Tell her that apostate picture would have been more accurate if they had a sign with "jwfacts.com" on it.

How much meaning are the rank and file putting on October 2014?

by JimmyPage in

jw
friends

it's definitely on their minds.

i attended a funeral recently and a jw told me that the person who died almost made it to the 100 year anniversary of the birth of the kingdom.. curious what comments like this you've heard in your area?.

(and can't wait for november!).

They have done a masterful job of owning the lie. Propoganda 101.

What's "THE END" going to look like?

by Coded Logic in

okay, so its no secret that many of us are hoping to see the downfall of the wtbts (or at least a mass exodous of jws away from them anyway).

i was wondering if you had any thoughts on what this might look like?.

we all know that most every jw has their doubts, large and small, but is afraid to speak due to the illusion of unanimity and self censorship .

LostGeneration

Its not going anywhere.

140 years of delusional tripe and yet it still grows.

Their product isn't offered by apostates, we don't have a bottle of everlasting life in exchange for their time. A certain segment of the population will do anything to avoid death.
