  ...that their web site is the most translated in the world.. https://www.tomedes.com/translator-hub/most-translated-website.php.

  do jw's genuinely believe that statistics prove divine backing?

  you can fool some of the people some of the time...there are lies, damned lies, and statistics!.

  Jehovah confused the languages at the Tower of Babel. Now he has to work extra hard to fix his fuck up.

  I see you still can’t work on a church building but you can build a Kingdom Hall and the watchtower corporation can sell it to a church.

  Do You Think “Higher Education “Is All That??

  by minimus in

  as jehovah’s witnesses, we were regularly told how awful a college education is.

  i’m no longer associated with the religion but i am not so pro university.

  it’s not because i think you are better off without a degree.

  I’m a businessman with no formal business education. I barely made it through high school. I hire the people I need to do the things I don’t have the skills or time to do.

  Just like all groups of people there are good and bad within the group. One contractor I hire has a mechanical engineering and a computer science degree. He has a great work ethic and goes above and beyond to make sure my production levels and quality remain exceptional.

  On the other hand I have to deal with some people with a degree that are absolutely useless in their jobs. I’ve phoned their boss and told them never to send that person again. These types seem to hide their incompetence behind the fact that they spent 4 years in university. I guess for them a university degree helps them because they have that piece of paper to get their foot in the door.

  Mrs hoser and I attended our old congregation this past weekend. It is actually made up of 3 amalgamated congregations. We were talking about it on the drive home and came to the conclusion that in 10 to 15 years 3/4 of the publishers will be in old folks homes or dead.

  What was the retirement plans you heard brothers talk about if any

  by JimmyYoung in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know some would not think about retirement.

  i had one brother who would pioneer as he could afford and when he paid off his home he was about to collect social security.

  he made enough that his plan was to work two to three days a week and pioneer the rest of the week.

  They are Still preaching against careers!

  by LongHairGal in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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.

  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.

  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.
