Proof positive that God is not helping them if he/she/it can't 'bless(tm)' them with enough.
Conclusion. It's all a big scam!

Yet another mo' money video!
by nowwhat? in(in the what's new section) apparently jehovah is still failing to provide the necessary funds so have to beg and petition men for support even though we said we'd never do that!.
new angle, if you want to make friends with jehovah and jesus we need more of your unrighteous riches .
apparently jehovah is in the protection racket now.

Lifetime Regret for Not Expressing my Love to a Non-JW

jw-grill you seem to have a very dim view of life
I speak from experience, I hope. Mayhap, we all experience life differently.
.Maybe you should read it before commenting? Just a thought.
Perhaps.
EDIT to add - I go along with much of what was said by Schopenhauer.
I believe that love is an illusion. It is just an evolutionary trick to make the species reproduce.

I recall getting the new 'publications(tm)' hoping they'd be amazing and 'upbuilding(tm)' ...but usually they were boring sh1t.

a-JW-grill. I'll be perfectly honest, your story was a bit too long for me to read. But, by judging what others have said as I skimmed through, I can only say, all things happen for a reason. Be-it a crap reason or good.
The reality is that in life we get bored with things and people.
You'd never live 'happily ever after' with this person. It just rarely happens.
I for one, will not let another person define me.
The fact that you're not with this geezer isn't a problem. I feel the problem is imagination and romanticism that are diametrically opposed to reality.
Yes, the past haunts me to this day but I won't let it stifle me too much.

An Anti-Aging Pill ( Maybe)
by metatron invarious researchers a have been looking for an anti-aging pill based on the assumption that, if you can maintain a higher.
level of various endogenous anti-oxidants ( catalase, sod, etc), you could probably slow down the aging process.
even some skeptics.

I can't imagine our politicians or elites really want us to live longer.
They seem to have a pre-disposition against anything positive.

The JW governing body are ALREADY priests!
by BoogerMan inhow many jw's are aware they have "priests?".
w02 5/1 p. 16 par.
9 jehovah hates the course of treachery - "comparably, for more than a century now, the anointed brothers of christ, those with the heavenly hope, have served as “a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to god.”.

They are as bonkers as those fett-heads that go around claiming to be Jesus. Or those nutters that claim, 'God told me to do it.'
It's sad that people (me in the past), believed they were indeed God's representatives on Earth(tm).
I don't know who I hate more, myself for once believing it; or them for claiming it?
Oh, blow it! I'll blame them!

Will Ukraine win?
by Fisherman ini was under the impression that it was going to be a short war, that russia’s military would indeed subdue ukraine’s forces quickly but that is not happening.
seems that russia’s military power is much less than it’s reputed to be.
no guess how it will all end..

Who knows how the 'current thing' will work out?
We probably won't know because a different 'current thing' will continue to divert our attention elsewhere and away from the criminal escapades of our corrupt politicians.

Let's put it in perspective....
"But beyond this, my son, be a scammer: the writing of many books is good for making money, and excessive study is unimportant as long as you make money for TOMO3rd to get drunk."

I'm Not Saying Americans are Stupid
by Simon inbut maybe they over-value their own abilities.
c'mon, imagining you could fight a gorilla, lion, elephant, or bear with your bare hands?!?.
this could be an amazing new reality tv show though ... "ok, bubba, you've just beaten a dog ... now for $16,000 do you want to fight a chimpanzee?

I judge individuals on their individual merits.
However, collectively I fear that when when America sneezes the UK catches cold.
I worry that the weird, mentally deranged neurosis we are currently seeing in America will infect us here. In many cases already has.
Any set of people that deify dubious characters like George Floyd need therapy.

Breezy. Never found her. Too late now, at my age.
I regret a life of Jobot righteousness. It got me nowhere.
