The money spent on bethelites, do's and co's, branches,...........all the cost of doing business. Keeping up the enthusiam to attend conventions and assemblies, make contributions and build halls to keep the money rolling in. Then, that money is not use in any way to benefit the flock or humanity, it is used to expand and build extravagant corporate headquarters. Hudson Valley NY

This thread took on a life of it's own. When I started it I was just thinking of how I was observing all those witnesses, in their meeting clothes, looking somewhat out if place in a sports bar. Only saw that the father across from me was a cheap tipper. My dad, a witness is a big tipper. No doubt the good and bad tippers in the Org are a reflection of society.

Need opinions & advice on 4G phones & pre-paid service
by FlyingHighNow ini dropped by metro pcs the other day.
i was intrigued by a sign that said: "unlimited talk and text-- $25 per month".. i went inside and one of the very, very young sales girls showed me a 4g phone metro has on sale until december 31st for $79.
they also have a 4g plan for unlimited talk, text and date for $30 per month, if you walk into one of their stores.

Use to work for a wealthy man with a beautiful house. Would often see one of the GB there. If the guys showed up to mow the grass when GB was there they would be sent away because GB was so special and shouldn't be disturbed by the sound of common folks working.

Are JW'S "hated" in all the world? Or...are they considered IRRELEVANT?
by Terry inwathctower 90/1/1 p. 12 par.
8 not ashamed of the good news .
while it is true that jehovahs witnesses are hated and opposed in all the nations of the earth, this is in fulfillment of what was foretold to be an identifying mark of genuine worshipers of the one living and true god.

World is a big place so no blanket answer, but for the most part I think just irrelevant. Often disliked just because they wake up so many people on their day off. Some hatred, but some people hate Jews, Moslems, Proestants.......as well.

The GB/Wat/Org so down on education while at the same time making full use of highly educated people and cutting edge technology. It's like Dark Ages, when only "ruling class" could get educated.

So I'm 2000+ miles from home on a mission for work. Out to lunch with three other guys from the company, in a sports bar on a Sunday about 3:00-4:00 PM. Crowded, not a roudy place, nice. Football on all the TVs. We sat at a table where we could easily see a TV. Local KH must have just ended meeting and spilled out it's contents because in walks a family of 4 in their meeting clothes and they sit at a table under the TV we were watching. All obese, mom, dad, son, and especially the daughter. Son and daughter probably about 15-18 yrs old. Really had to crank their heads to see the TV above them. They ordered food and ate like they were depending on Armegeddon to save them from their high cholesterol. Next comes in 5 girls. They squeeze into a table for 4. Very pretty girls, dressed nice, my guess 2 or 3 pioneer/cleaners and 1 or 2 still in high school soon to be a pioneer/cleaners. Seperate checks and they were counting their pennies. The son of the family really gets wild and loosens his tie. Next in comes 2 guys, one rugged looking and one geeky. They nod and say something to the girls, probably wishing they could sit with them, they sit at a table for 2 across from the girls. Rugged guy may have had a chance with the girls, geek holding him back. Nice of rugged guy not to ditch the geek, let the geek hang with him. In next were an older stately looking couple, they sat near me on the other side of a partition about 3' high. I could hear a lot of their conversation, talk about others, not really gossip, just general observations and small talk. Got the feeling they were both widowed, getting to know each other, if they were married they would have already known much of what they were telling each other. First family finishes, dad pays with a card and leaves a 5 on the table for a tip, it should have been at least 15. There were others, they stand out so with their meeting clothes on, but those were the ones I could see. Fun to watch.
