jesus is depicted in the heavens.
next to him stand some of his co-rulers.
It’s a control thing. Carrot and the stick (to beat you with).
You can get privileges in the congregation but they come at a cost to your integrity as a human being.
If you don’t bow to the authoritarian pressure your privileges can be removed in a stroke of a pen.
I’m sure glad I checked out mentally years ago
so watching the cults assembly video i am a bit confused about the whole girl asking about marijuana.
non medical use what exactly is that.
what do they mean "medical?
I thought that was interesting as well. Jade used the cannibas to help with her anxiety. Sounds medical to me. I guess they want her to switch to high end scotch as that seems to be the only approved vice.

One of the things circuit overseer scrutinises is amount of donations remitted to branch. And yes they will close your Kingdom Hall but only after you have been given false hope by a renovation project.
sometimes i forget how small-minded, petty, provincial, mean-spirited ignorant and judgemental it was and still is.... then i sit down with a jw relative, hoping to have a normal conversation and realize there is literally nothing to talk about.. nothing..... current events?
hobbies?
your job?
A big thing to them is if they are allowed to carry a microphone at the Kingdom Hall or are allowed to auxiliary pioneer in April.
from washington state to new york city to atlanta and california and so on, you see thousands of demonstrators trying to get rid of police, statues, monuments and anything they consider racially biased.. do you think this type of activity and destruction is working well for the country and it’s law abiding citizens?

BLM and other leftist organizations are so detached from reality it isn’t even funny.
There is a problem with lack of grocery stores and other services in poorer neighborhoods. What do the protesters do? Burn down the businesses that are there. What do the cities do? Refuse to protect the businesses that are in poorer areas of town.
No business in their right mind will have a store in those places and the community continues to suffer.
but one i remember was a full on dyed in the wool believer how was a farmer.
around 1975 he sold his farm moved his family to a very rural place and waited for the end to come.
he ended up working for his brother in law hanging drywall.
I know several that sold their possessions to serve where the need is greater in their 40s. Some of these had a fair amount of equity but as soon as you start eating into your equity it doesn’t last long. They ran out of money in their 50s and early 60s and ended up not having a pot to piss in.
To be fair there are a lot of “worldly” people that can’t manage money and end up pissing every penny they earn away with no retirement saved.

Fucking Hypocrites.
A few decades ago a farm family that was studying were driving their farm truck to meetings with farm plates and dyed fuel. They had a big meeting with the elders, circuit overseer and District overseer to see if one of the teenage kids was allowed to get baptized because of the dyed fuel.(You can’t make this shit up)
I think they quit attending after that as the Pharisees decreed that they were supposed to buy another (4 door) vehicle for (spiritual) activities and buy more expensive unmarked fuel for that car..

The venues that jws rent are not designed for prolonged use. The average NFL or baseball game is 3 hours with a few beers to loosen up the body.
