A few years ago we attended the 60th anniversary party of a JW couple who were very good friends of my family. When they married, he was 25 and she was 15. My wife was SHOCKED. She told him that today he'd be arrested. (Yes they really were from Arkansas but I'm pretty sure they were not cousins.)

David Splane's 2020 Conventionl talk ....''Jehovah has to come first''
by RULES & REGULATIONS in'' has your desire to put jehovah first been tested during this pandemic?
you lost your job and you searched for another one.
finally, after a long search, you found one but it was a job that would require you to miss all your meetings and field service.

They glorify the unemployed,
They may indeed "glorify" the unemployed with their public statements, but I assure you they kowtow with the "rich and famous" in JW Land. They schmooze with those who have the CA$H to wine and dine them and give them generous gifts. Nothing is too good for the GB and CO's and any Bethel Representative.

Your choice is a bit like judging an ugly baby contest.
Except one of the babies has dementia and some people think he should carry the nuclear football.

In my country the preaching work is over
by cookiemaster inthe jws in my country can't preach to anyone these days and they're going crazy.
i live in romania and initially during the covid-19 lockdown they were very enthusiastic about preaching.
they've since held daily "field service meetings" on zoom.

I just hope the American people vote in a President that isn't constantly in the news for saying or doing something stupid, unscrupulous and socially immoral.
I agree. The "stupid" stuff is the result of Biden's dementia and you can't blame a person for what happens with aging. It's sad, but clearly he will never carry the responsibility of the President.
As far as "unscrupulous and socially immoral" -- I think the corrupt profiteering like Hunter Biden's deals with Ukraine and China are the typical MO of politics anymore. No different than the Clinton Foundation receiving MILLION$ in "contributions" when it was perceived that Hillary would be President. When she lost, it all dried up. It was clearly a quid pro quo arrangement to all the contributors.
The American people just put up with it because it's what they have come to expect.

I'm beginning to think that either way, Trump or Biden, America loses.

REVISITING Awake October 1968 and the "THIS GENERATION" in association with OVERLAPPING GENERATION and THESE GENERATIONS
by Longlivetherenegades inthe former image was obtained from a topic in the humor and joke section of this platform and it seems to carry a underground information that is equally powerful.. since a food company had been producing a particular product for four generations since 1914, how come the wtbts publishing company are still producing for a one generation since 1914?.
awake october 1968 stated............ even if we presume that youngsters 15 years of age would be perceptive enough to realize the import of what happened in 1914, it would still make the youngest of "this generation" nearly 70 years old today(year 1968).
so the great majority of the generation to which jesus was referring has already passed away in death.

Why Does It Seem That Black People Are Always Being Shot By The Police?
by minimus inthere is either a conspiracy against blacks in this country and police are out to get them or it’s that they are getting caught breaking the law and often times refuse to obey police authority.

14 ACRES? That's an unusual amount of extra property for a KHall. That would up the asking price no doubt.
