No problem Mrfreeze…even as a JW I would just roll my eyes when they would pull the "this must be it" when an earthquake or anything else would happen…

The point is Mr. Freeze is earthquakes happen all the time but the JW’s get their hair in a twist when they hear of one…

According to the US Geological Survey there are approximately 1,000,000 earthquakes around the world every year (although the vast majority of these are so small they can only be detected by sensitive scientific equipment).
Of these 1,000,000, approximately 1/10 are large enough to be felt by humans. This means that on any day there will be on average 275 earthquakes around the world that can be felt.
Perhaps even more surprisingly, on average there are around 100 earthquakes a year that are large enough to cause damage (however they often don't because they occur away from inhabited areas). This means there is a little under a 1 in 3 chance of there being a "large" earthquake on any given day.
The British Geological Survey have published some data on the annual average frequency of earthquakes of varying magnitudes:
Description : Magnitude : Frequency per year
Great : > = 8.0: 1
Major : 7.0 - 7.9: 17
Strong : 6.0 - 6.9 : 134
Moderate : 5.0 - 5.9 : 1319
Light : 4.0 - 4.9 : 13,000 (estimated)
Minor: 3.0 - 3.9 : 130,000 (estimated)
Very minor : 2.0 - 2.9: 1,300,000 (estimated) -

I never saw the CO’s as a burden. Sure all their expenses are covered for them and perhaps someone throws them a buck or two for their own personal expenses but think of all they sacrifice. They are usually a couple completely devoted to the WTS cause often forsaken children and family, living and working in a different congo every week. And you know they have no retirement waiting for them unless they are of means or have family to help them. So no I don’t think it’s overboard.
I attended a worldly funeral last week in a nondenominal church. Great pastor and service but the wife of the deceased felt it necessary to give a $200 dollar donation to the pastor for his services…I don’t know if it went to him or the church but it would seem to me he is already compensated by the church for his services and it’s a very large mega church…

DO NOT have children in this system!!
by What Now? ingrowing up, this is something that my other always told me.
i've had several conversations with older sisters who have said that if they could do things over, they wouldn't have had children.
other couples my own age are horrified at the thought of raising children in "this system".
