some people want limited government involvement in their lives.
the less government, the happier they are.
others feel there’s not enough government intervention.
Altruistic people think we can all live and love like hippies sharing everything we have with one another.
It works until someone thinks someone else isn’t doing their fair share of the work.
That’s why there is this magical thing called money. If you work hard and smart enough you can have more of the stuff. Why should one bust their ass so that his fellow man can sit on his?
anthony morris iii on the 12/20 broadcast:.
parents need to give their children a realistic idea of what we will face in the near future.. .
.many parents choose to help their children appreciate the graphic visual imagery of a bible-based account while at the same time building trust in jehovah.
Kinda like when the circuit overseer gives his talk to the congregation. “We’re not trying to make you feel guilty” then he proceeds to make people feel guilty
the watchtower—study edition | july 2020.
6. the first-century disciples built their faith on their knowledge of the scriptures and the teachings of jesus christ, that is, “the truth of the good news.” (gal.
2:5) this truth consists of the whole body of christian teachings, including the facts about jesus’ ransom sacrifice and his resurrection.
Watchtower articles are written to lead you to the conclusion they want. It’s a salesman tactic designed to sell you on an idea.
the breaking news in canada today is the rollout of the pfizer/biontech vaccines.
perhaps we can put this pandemic nightmare to bed soon.. i hate to rain on the parade, but we yet are not clear of any allergic reactions, side effects there might be as they roll out.
but, just have to wait and see...to state the obvious.
Follow the money. It’s all part of the plan

The fear of being disfellowshipped is the glue that holds the organization together.
as imperfect and flawed capitalism is, it has worked better than other forms of economic and political systems-so far.
it’s very simple in “theory.” capitalism is an economic and-or, political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.
in other words, keep government out of it as much as possible.
It is up to local government to enact and enforce labour law to protect workers rights. Ultimately it is in the best interest of the billionaires to have a happy, well paid workforce. Who will buy the crap they are selling if the small guys don’t have disposable income?
A lot of these guys(bezos,musk,zuckerberg,gates) started out in their parents garage with one of their college buddies. They catered to our needs and wants and we willingly gave them our money. Instead of buying from Amazon early on I should have been buying Amazon early on.
The beauty of capitalism is that anyone can share in the success of these billionaires if we make the right choices.

Who cares. The masses create the wealth for Bezos and Gates by buying their products or services. If you don’t like it don’t buy from them. Obviously they are providing value to people or we would spend our money elsewhere. All of their money eventually ends up back in the economy for someone else to use. These guys won’t live forever and their descendants can have fun squandering the money.
when i say; “socialist” i don’t mean everyone is equal.
instead i am referring to “leaders” being rich and powerful, whereas the ordinary citizen being poor, and powerless.. i was surprise that the majority of the world is run by socialist government.
the last few countries that are not socialist are the united states and parts of europe.
I think capitalism on a small level needs to be preserved. Everyone needs the ability to earn an income for themselves and to provide for their family. Not everyone has the ability to work as an employee due to disabilities that the workplace does not make allowances for. Capitalism gives these people an opportunity to thrive.
if you live in the u s a or the united kingdom, this is how the wt society views your government, your nation :-.
yes, as an ugly, evil terrifying beast !
this is based on the book of revelation chapter 13 , quoted as follows in the revelation climax book.
I think they came up with the idea shortly after ww2 when the US and Britain were on the same side
hello all interested persons,.
whilst driving to work this morning listening to the radio, my ears pricked when the presenter began talking about jws.
it was on a programme which airs between 8.00 and 8.30 entitled am, and broadcast on the abc national radio.
Since Jehovah owns all the gold and silver he should use some of it to pay the victims of abuse and the watchtowers tax bill.
