  How Much Do Circuit Overseers Make Under the Table, and is it Taxable?

  i was thinking about green handshakes, and i knew my wife and i personally would try to slide at least $100 each c.o visit to the c.o.

  if we were low on cash, we'd never hand him less than $20.

  how many of such handshakes does he receive in a weeks time?

  They could never entertain the thought that someone would leave because they found out it is not true. They have to make up stories to keep their fairy tale religion alive.

  I heard a good one last week. An elder asked me if my wife and I were separated because he never sees us together.

  i just watched the video what is true love.

  first of all it is painfully long.

  secondly there is an uncanny resemblance with megan(the one who married out of the truth) to the girl in the jeremiah book who married out of the truth.

  I feel for guys that marry someone who needs a prominent man. It is almost impossible to keep a woman like that happy.

  I am amazed at the social pressure to conform that is evident in this movie. I thought it was just a local thing but I see now that parents and busybodies al though out this religion like to meddle in other peoples lives.

  The girl Megan feels pressured by the congregation to have a spiritual man so in turn she nags her hardworking husband to "reach out" for baptism. I've personally witnessed marriages ruined by this kind of abuse.

  The good jw girl still living at home at 25 finds her nerdy jw elder at a jw function and lives happily ever after.

  How much sediment would have been moved in Noah's flood?

  by Zoos in

  i flew over this crate yesterday on my return home from las vegas.. .

  they say this crater was created by an asteroid about 50,000 years ago.

  then about 6000 years ago, presumably, god wiped out all life on earth with a global flood.. how much sediment would have been moved around during that flood.

  Good question. I came up with 3 possibilities.

  1. The crater isn't as old as they say it is.

  2. The global flood isnt as recent as creationists believe it is.

  3. The flood was an embellished localized event and the water never reached northern Arizona.

  It's merely showing that children can think about different ways they want to spend their money instead of spending it all on junk food.

  
  

  then they should have shown her giving it to a food bank or a homeless person

  i saw this and immediately thought about how this relates to us.

  once you've learned how to ride the ttatt-bicycle it's almost impossible to ride the "truth"-bicycle again.

  More Young Indoctrination

  not sure how wide spread this is, but from my social media land i saw 2 separate videos, from two halls in completely different towns featuring their kids having a demonstration on the service meeting (i am guessing last night as i didn't go).

  these kids are really young!

  maybe this was just a coincidence at first i thought it was the same video then realized theses people live hundreds of miles apart.

  There was a video shown loosely based on scripture It was a pixaresque cartoon showing how Sophia was scared to preach to her classmate. It went into a bunch of made up stuff about how the Israelite girl was afraid to talk to naaman about how the prophet in Israel could cure him of his leprosy.
