"breaking news | 2023 conventions.
we are pleased to announce that the governing body has decided that, jehovah willing, we will resume in-person regional conventions in 2023. branches will now begin scheduling dates and selecting venues.
we pray for jehovah’s rich blessing to be with all those involved in the planning.".
And whatever half frozen puddings and orange juice they used to feed us.
Summer vacations spent sitting in an uncomfortable chair for 3 days.
I bet the elderettes can’t wait to catch up on the latest juicy gossip.
I wonder if we will be expected to wear masks for the entire program?
I would assume they will allow for zoom attendees but all non in person attendees will be viewed as spiritually weak.

I think my dad told them something like that as well.

When buying high priced used cars you always have to factor in higher financing rates than buying new and the fact that there usually is no to little warranty left.

We’ve been criticized for having a car that was too plain with not enough options.
Seems like they’re never happy so I’ve concluded there is no point in doing a song and dance to try to please them.

They sound like the Trump/Kushners of the jw world. Well connected
i saw a statistic the other day that something like 25% of all the debt that the us has incurred since 1776 was created in the last 12 months.
that's because they have printed so much currency and instead of letting that stop them, they are going to continue printing more to go on a spending spree on crazy green-new-deal schemes and union handouts.. does anyone think that this can be anything other than inflationary?
they are effectively stealing the wealth of everyone to then hand money out to people.

It is kinda sad that people can’t see what’s really happening until it’s too late. Some never figure it out. I believe the school systems purposefully omit life skills and money management skills from high school curriculums to maintain a population of wage slaves to keep the elites in their positions.
Its a lot like the watchtower system. Keep them smart enough to tend to a literature cart but dumbed down enough so they won’t leave and stop donating to the organization.
how many times did you see elders hounding congregation members to quit their jobs due to missing meetings?.
my brother worked at a grocery store at 16 years old.
he would miss tuesday's ministry school due to his work schedule.
There are a lot of witnesses with taker type personalities. They’re born that way. You’ve done the best thing by looking out for yourself.
Also many have been victims of the jw system and it’s too late for them now. I have relatives like that. They are 60 years old still trying to make it with little education with “privileges” and “responsibilities” in the congregation. It costs money to be an elder and pioneer. I see it as their cost to remain a member of the club.

They really made the circuit overseer and his wife pamper the cars so they could get top price.
The other thing I noticed was how brothers would buy these cars as a spiritual status symbol.

Wealthier elders help out retired COs for the social credits it gives them in the organization. They give because of their greed. Keeping close contact with well connected jws buys you favours like assembly parts and cushy assignments. It’s not what you know it’s who you know. It gets them and their kids ahead in the organization and that is what’s important to a lot of people.
