  Food donations from the government

  so i just saw on fb a letter going out to jw's in southern california to keep quiet if they get any food donations from the elders.

  the jw's aren't giving this food out of the kindness of their hearts, they are getting it from the government and pretending they are doing it themselves.

  gah!

  Guns...Are You For or Against Legally Owning Them?

  by minimus in

  there is a surge going on of people buying guns, especially first time buyers.

  with talk of police defunding and rioting in the neighborhoods, some people want to protect themselves.. do you support owning and using a gun if needed?.

  It’s funny that you’re not hearing crazy anti gun activists saying we need to get rid of guns! Where are all these loudmouths? Not a peep lately. Hmmmm

  I don't own guns. I went deer hunting a few times as a teen, never shot anything, I have thought of acquiring some but never really felt compelled. I probably would be considered left of center, not far left in my opinion, I also have conservative values, maybe that makes me more in the center. I think the "loudmouths" are on the extreme sides both right and left.

  I'm for responsible gun ownership, a well regulated malitia.

  Interesting That in the Regional Convention They Are Asking for More Volunteers to Bethel

  for those of us who could sit through the program so far, i did find it interesting that they are again asking for people to apply to bethel.. i happened to speak to a friend who called and asked him why they would do that.

  his response was that, well, they need younger people there.. i guess once you are over 50 or something you are eligible to be sent out to pasture..

  Rubadub ... LOL ... I meant he went right to bethel after graduating homeschooling. 😂. They don't talk to me. I wasn't invited to the wedding (not disfellowshipped), although my wife and daughter were.

  My nephew was sent back to his home congregation during the COVD shutdown. Maybe it has something to do with his getting married last year too. He's probably 21, no skills.

  My wife seems to become more aroused with herself when seeing the My Pillow Guy on TV. Is there possible JC involvement?

  Probably a judicial committee should be formed to discern her heart condition on the matter. If her heart has crossed the line it must be dealt with.

  anyone else get a food box delivered by local congregation to your door - allegedly by the society?

  weird.

  i looked online and found a couple of youtube channels saying the society is taking food from food banks and giving it only to their congregations.

  It's not that the program itself is a bad thing. I imagine it is the government buying products to distribute to people with the intention of providing assistance to the farm industry.

  My issue is of course with the organization

  1. The hypocrisy of the religion. This shows them to be just like any other religion that is used as a tool by the government when it is convenient for them. Neutrality? No part of the world?

  2. The selfishness. They do nothing for the community. They provide no service to any other than their own (even that is rare), any help to non-witnesses is simply collateral goodness.

  There was a time, many years ago, that my family was in need. Low income, couldn't afford oil to heat the house, electricity about to be disconnected, I was directed to St Vincent DePaul and the Salvation Army.

  I was terrified to go there for help. This was after all Satan's organization. Of course, the direction from the brothers was that Jehovah uses these wicked things to benefit his people too.

  Thanks to those religious charities, my oil tank was filled, my electric bill was paid, they filled us up with groceries, and I was able to get back on my feet.

  What surprised me at the time, neither one asked me my religious affiliation or required me to attend any services.

  Since then, I put money in the Salvation Army's kettle.

  Crazy! We certainly don't need it ... and her apostate husband hasn't been to the Kingdom Hall in 9 years! The Borg is always ready to take a handout.

  LOL ... My wife got her food box delivered today. Thanks for the insight. Had I not seen this I wouldn't have known what was going on. An elder apparently called her and asked her "fruit our dairy" she had no idea why he was asking, he then shoes up with a box of food. ???

  Are You Starting To Feel Bad About Being A Racist??

  you probably didn’t even realize you were a racist until you were enlightened by the “woke” group.

  so do you feel the need to make amends and do the right thing??
