Do the Chinese think they will soon take over the World? This is an official response
by fulltimestudent inlot's of people believe that china will soon be a super-power.
while its true that roughly 400 million chinese have attained a living standard approximating the usa, there is still another 700 million who have not.. every year, some 100 million chinese take overseas holidays.
and, many millions of chinese live overseas, either as students or as representatives of chinese companies.. but of the 700 million who have not achieved something like western prosperity, some 90 million still live in poverty, leaving 610 million struggling between poverty and a low level of prosperity.. until they can live more comfortably, the chinese government must focus on building a more prosperous nation.. .

Who would want to take over the world anyway. Think of all the taxes you'd have to pay. -

Do the Rank & File JW's REALLY read and understand the bible to be able to REALLY start a study with someone???
by ADJUSTMENTS ini believe the average rank & file are illiterate when it come to the bible because they are so used to using the wbats cliff notes... even though i believe the bible is a fiction novel, at least be able to explain a novel you hold is such high regard: i mean jesus!!!

It is a paint by numbers approach to bible study. You can paint like a master, just put the right colors in the right places.
Same thing with a "bible study". Read paragraph, ask question, householder gives answer, repeat.

Ok more about the jw wedding I attended. There were these two couples at our dinner table that were having an all out pissing competition as to who was the most spiritual. They were comparing who was in "the truth" the longest, who pioneered where and for how long. How many generations of jehovahs witnesses they were. As it went on they drank more wine and the bs got thicker. One would say their kid pioneered such and such a place then the other couple would up them by saying their kid is a missionary in the Congo.
I had to get up and leave. I just couldn't take it anymore.

I believe that most JW's are ill-equipped to be good marriage mates due to what they learn about marriage from magazines, books and kingdom hall meetings.
It doesn't help that some of the books on marriage have been written by bethelites who have either never been married or if they are married have never had to make it work in the real world. -

You're absolutely correct outlaw. Jw marriages are set up to fail. Then when they do fail it is because you weren't doing enough service/ personal study/submission etc etc etc -

I met a couple there that I haven't seen in many years. They really look wore out. The jw treadmill has kept them busy all of these years -

This is exactly what I as thinking. This guy must be well connected with the leaders in the hall. Or her daddy is an elder.
her daddy isn't an elder but is well off. Her mommy is a pioneer.
The grooms family is extremely well connected At the reception I ended up sitting with an ex bethelite elder and his wife. I guess their kid is a missionary somewhere.
It was hard but I kept the boozing to a minimum with the free bar and all I have a big mouth when I drink so I might have blown my cover.
