i saw on another forum a post somebody made about the melbourne assembly.
it seems the religion is still knocking full time jobs/careers and saving for retirement.. you would think at this point in time - after thousands of bethelites were sent home; many thousands of rank & file jws are at or near retirement age with no preparation - that the religion would change its tune, but no.
they are still stubbornly sticking to their guns on this issue.. i’m sorry for any young jws who listen to this.. i’m just glad i never followed their advice and certainly would not want to be in any congregation surrounded by these desperate people!.
Why do they preach against careers? Self preservation. If every jw got busy living their lives the organization would definitely collapse. The leaders would be out of a job.
In the past they needed to sell books to maintain their position. Now they need to flip real estate.
i think tesla and musk have officially jumped the shark.. did you see the "cybertruck" they released?
it's like the car that homer built!.
it has to be the ugliest vehicle ever built.
Electric vehicles are definitely the way forward, but I personally think Elon Musk is a dreamer. Gm and Ford’s electric trucks are projected to come out in 2021. Why would I send Musk a check sight unseen for a pickup truck when I can go to my local General Motors dealer take one home after a test drive.
at least at the moment it looks like no one is dead, but 6 injured (9:00 am pacific time 14 nov 2019).. i don't know if the school allows students to carry weapons, but many will think it would be a good idea for the students to carry concealed weapons to provide personal protection.. we shall see.. rub a dub.
We don’t have a gun problem, we have a bullying problem.
the wtbts is not being given special room rates by 2 major hotels at the long beach convention center area for the upcoming 2020 regional conventions & wt is t'd off.
letters are being read in surrounding circuits and congregations.
apparently wt is afraid that other hotels are going to blackball them as well.. has anyone else heard this?
Has anyone else heard this? Does anyone know the reasons why?
Maybe Hotel managers dont want the bad press of having organizations that conceal acts of pedophilia within their organization at the cost of individual victims this being children ?
Or they don’t want the liability if child abuse occurs in one of their rooms.

The city where I live used to hold regional conventions. The jay dubs blame it on the “bad manager” at the local hockey arena. I blame it on the extreme negotiating done by the watchtower.
i found out this morning via facebook that someone i know returned to “the truth”.. her elder husband had abused her for years until she had a breakdown and had sex with a non believer.
this happened several years ago.
she now returned to the fold with her newly converted man.
The positive is that she has been exposed to this discussion group so I’m hoping for her sake she’s mentally out.

I think some people are prone to being abused. Sad.

The same city. She looks reinstated by the photos on her Facebook.

Disfellowshipping works! She couldn’t see her kids or grandkids so she returned.
Hopefully she is pimo.
in the new article about the international convention in manila, the picture of the crowd is pretty telling.
they look so drained and miserable!.
.
International conventions are a sham. They are a consistent revenue stream for the watchtower corporation and their travel agent buddies.
What it amounts to is buying your status within the congregation by purchasing an overpriced vacation, if you can call it that.
