People like our parents have bought in to a belief system and need validation. That happened in my family too. I don’t think it is mentally healthy for children and probably causes future anxiety issues .

23Stupid armageddon false alarms
by purrpurr inwhen i was 5/6 i remember being in the car with my jw mom and a jw sister.
they noticed a yellow ish glowing cloud in the sky which really freaked them out and they both declared that it must be a sign that armageddon was here!
they then spent the whole car trip declaring that the police and army were about to come and round up all of us.

What Are Your Predictions for 2020 and Beyond?
by The Bethelite in2020 the society will continue to have financial problems with massive pay outs because of their lack of protecting their young people from a religion that harbors thousands of pedophiles.
thus this and other religions that has an 1800's mentality will continue to lose their young people.
with the religion's lies easily found on the internet the smart ones will continue to leave in droves.

The great tribulation will begin shortly and the battle of Armageddon will take place. Jehovah and his armies will be victorious and the 1000 year reign will begin.
The resurrection of dead loved ones can then commence.
This should all happen within 3 years. That is why if you are thinking about starting college don’t bother as you won’t need your fancy degree in the new system.

I heard there is a film crew following her for a reality tv show (unconfirmed). Both her parents and sister are famous, now she can be too.
The only way to cut our carbon footprint is to drastically lower our standard of living. No one wants to hear that message, and I don’t think Greta wants to live the way my great grandparents did a hundred years ago.

What Do You Think About Organized Sit Ins That Are Disruptive?
by minimus inmarches, sit ins, traffic blocking is the new normal for people to demonstrate.
they block highways, state buildings and roadways.
they may even get arrested but invariably get turned loose by the courts.. i think it’s disgraceful to demonstrate this way.

One province in Canada is introducing a rural trespass act that would cover some of these demonstrations. Protesters could be fined in the 10s of thousands of dollars.

They should be allowed to protest by disrupting traffic or whatever means they feel necessary. However, they should also be held fiscally and criminally responsible for their actions.
If traffic is backed up due to a protest and an ambulance is delayed causing a life to be lost, those protesters need to be charged with manslaughter.
Every person delayed needs to be compensated for their lost wages. The companies that employ the delayed workers also need compensation for lost revenues.

'Experiences(tm)'! Made up or totally true??
by punkofnice inat one assembly(tm), i was asked to relate an 'experience(tm)' which i did.
however, during rehearsals, the geezer in charge elder or co or some such title, told me that i shouldn't tell it the way it was.
i did a 're-enactment(tm)' with another 'brother(tm)'.

As a motivational tool it works for guilt tripping the mentally in. Embellish some experience and hint that you are not doing as much as brother bullshit experience.
This is taken straight from big corporation motivation 101. Mrs Hoser worked for a big company a number of years ago and their branch always got told their numbers weren’t as high as a branch 500 miles away It worked until someone transferred in from that place and it turned out corporate headquarters was playing this bullshit game to get free labour from the staff

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 inas 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.
