  this tree is named after a general, because the us called in the army to protect these oldtimers; now wrapped in a fire proof blanket.

  (it has already a 4 feet fireproof bark).

  when will canada do the same, on it's west coast and brazil in the amazon?

  I’ve been there. The strip is designed to keep you on the strip and spend your money on expensive meals and shows. There is a lot of good entertainment and if you want to spend the bucks you can tour the Hoover dam or see the Grand Canyon.

  As far as living there it does have a nice climate but Phoenix and Yuma are warmer in the winter.

  Bank Bail-Out / Bail-In

  by Simon in

  remember the last financial crisis, where there as a bail-out of the banks?.

  have you ever stopped to think what the "out" part of bail-out means?

  normally you think of bailing water out of a boat, or maybe jumping out of a plane, but in financial terms the "out" means "outside money".

  Apparently we have this in Canada as well. If the bank goes broke they take your deposits and give you some worthless bank shares.

  News flash! In a fiat currency economy you won’t save yourself to prosperity. You get paid less than 1% on your money that deflates by 5%.

  1995 generation change

  by Gorb in

  2. friends

  now, many years later, i remember the 1995 generation change, very well.. since early youth, hearing my father explaining in field service the 2520 years.

  it was his main theme in the field.. with the change my doubts started.

  with some jw friends we did not trust the organization anymore.

  I was guilted into getting baptized in the 80s because that generation was getting soooo old. In 95 was when a lot (including me) started to question. Then when they changed it again to the overlapping generation it was verifiable bullshit.

  Sep. 2021 Broadcast: more money

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the latest jw broadcast, anthony morris the turd gives a talk about donations.

  to camouflage this, he starts and ends the talk by saying that isn't actually what he's doing.

  first he starts with the usual disclaimer, 'wt has never begged for money like christendom and we never will', you know the drill.

  I see this as the result of taking over ownership of the local Kingdom Halls. The local congregation used to take pride in their building and make sure it was well funded and maintained. Now that the halls are centrally controlled it becomes someone else’s problem.

  Is this New Light coming or just some crackpot?

  by pistolpete in

  this experience was posted about a year ago.

  it seems like a crackpot co was giving his prediction of what "might possibly happen in the future" .

  now it seems like he wasn't such a crackpot after all.. quote.

  It takes a while, but eventually a person finds his way out.

  by pistolpete in

  it hard to believe------you don't have the truth.. sometimes, for many----it takes half of your life -- or more---to figure it out.

  it was like swimming upstream with lead boots pulling you back in.

  and the closer you got to the "real" truth----the further away you strayed from your intimate group.

  I had a gut feeling something was not quite right for a long time. My waking up coincided with when high speed internet became available in our city.

  I’ve taken the pimo route. I can play the game fairly well it seems. I’m happy now and that’s what counts. I do enough so the elders don’t harass me but not enough so they want me to do more.
