It’s a three for one deal. About 10 years ago they merged 3 struggling rural congregations into one in the largest town. At the time there were about 75 publishers. We went last week to the Sunday meeting and there were about 30 attending. The old timers are slowly dying off and the young ones aren’t stepping up to the plate

I just bought a John Deere 6130R tractor!
by silentbuddha inyou may be thinking, "so, what... it's just a tractor" right.
yes, it is just a tractor.
however, for me it was the last step in me actually realizing my dream of becoming a farmer.

That’s pretty much the tractor I’ve been looking for but I don’t have that kind of cash. Buying green is always a good move.

As far as I have heard, nothing ever came out of this. I’m not sure if the charges have been dropped or if the case hasn’t made it to court yet. -

The political left, perfectly captured in one short video exchange
by Simon inthis perfectly encapsulates the behaviour and opinions of the left and dave rubin nails it - "you're not oppressed, you're entitled".. lots of of shouting and claims of being denied rights to speak but nothing really to say when given a mic, just endless shouting and baseless confused claims about 'free speech'.
hey, some blm bitches try and get in on it too because, why not.. constant "i have a question, i have a question ..." as though she isn't allowed to ask it when the reality is she really has nothing to say, she just wants to stop other people being able to talk.
what a stupid cunt.. sadly, the left is indoctrinating a generation to think that *this* is what political discourse and "taking a stand" is.

I wouldn’t say rich vs poor Simon. Not in all cases. The entitled are a different bunch than the entrepreneur who earned it on his own.
Maybe the divide the entitled vs the non entitled.
Natives entitled. Not all of them though so it is not fair to generalize
environmentalists entitled
socialists definitely entitled.
Farmers most not entitled but those who inherited wealth some are
Working class most not entitled but some are
business owners mostly not entitled

Today's Watchtowe Study, Child Baptism
by BluesBrother insuffice to say that i fundamentally disagree with the point of this article, a cynical attempt to boost numbers.
it goes against bible precedent and their own long standing practice.
they timothy as an example of a youthfull christian, a young man.. sure but he was not baptized young .

More education bashing in this article.
Don’t send your kids to college. Get them baptized!

I foresee problems in Canada because we are becoming very polarized left vs right. If things continue we are headed for a civil war. I don’t believe it will be an east vs west war. It will be class warfare.
Natives, environmentalists and socialist thinkers on one side. Farmers, ranchers, the working class and business owners on the other side.

This guy is an ignorant piece of shit.
I had an uncle with severe OCD. It is a genetic condition just like any other hereditary disease. My uncle was obsessed with numbers. He had to have the same house number as his phone number and his liscence plate had to have a similar number as the rest He couldn’t take it anymore so he hanged himself. Our family didn’t laugh about it.
The governing body are so out of touch it isn’t even funny. What an incompetent moron

Wealth, Poverty, and Morality
by SecondRateMind ini am interested in the approach this forum takes to money.
apart from sex, (which i am quite relaxed about) it seems to me that wealth is the surest divider between those who are moral, and those who are not.. it seems jesus thought so, also.
luke 16:19-31 kjv describes well enough his dusty attitude to the rich who do not succour the poor.. and this world has many poor: so many, it might seem that we can do nothing about it, and twist his words; 'the poor ye shall have always with you, but me, ye shall not have always.

I already distribute to the poor every year through the taxes I pay. I also help those close to me when I feel they are deserving. Other than that my working really hard to give to someone who will most likely squander it is a waste of my and their time.
