Lots of seeds were actually planted by a “Bible Study”. Claimed he was not getting his info online. I think now they was BS. The TTATT is a lot more reasonable and convincing than The Troof.

U.S. Politics on Australian news. Is it a correct summary?
by jonahstourguide inhi to all americans.. i read this interesting summary of politics in the u.s. at the moment.. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-01/us-politics-wrap-debt-ceiling-nancy-pelosi/100503466.
is it 'on the money' so to speak?.
i ask because i often read reports of what's going on here in australia in overseas media.

I watch Australian Sky News on YouTube. It seems spot on though admittedly aligned with the conservative side of the aisle.

HLC confidentiality
by shadowclone inlots of hospitals have hired jw's as bloodless care manager.
if they find out that a jw agrees to take blood, what is their protocol in such a case?
usa scenario so hippa is a factor.

Hospital would be liable if their employee broke HIPPA confidentiality. If that kind of thing happens expect the lawyers to get in line. Hospitals have deep pockets. If they can prove WTS “encourages” JW employees to break HIPPA — now there is another set of deep pockets!!!

At least I was young and dumb and had more energy to use back then.
I think I once heard another similar version of that statement, tho not so "G-Rated".

Any signs that Kingdom Halls will re-open soon or door to door work will re-start again?
by eyeslice ini've not heard anything from pimi wife about going back to the khs yet let alone the door to door work.. many churches round here have re-opened if only for private pray and i am guessing that things like singing may be a factor in the reluctance of the witnesses to get back together again.
i also detect that many older ones are still quite afraid to go anywhere they may come in contact with people, even for shopping.
on the other hand, here in uk you can now go to a football match with 70,000 others shouting and chanting.. the door to door work may a total different issue.

But they continue to ask for money during these virtual assembly
I was told at our recent Zoom circuit assembly they announced that the expenses for the program were $5,000. OF course, that's a heap better than the $15K - $20K that in-person assemblies at the already paid-for Assm Halls were costing, but a Zoom meeting at $5000?

Most college graduates will tell you that a diploma isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Unless the degree gets the graduate into a specific career (medicine, law, education, pharmacy, etc) they often find out it's just a piece of paper that came with a huge payment book to repay their school loans and sadly doesn't necessarily get them into a job/career? that pays any better than a plumber/carpenter/electrician who had the benefit of being paid to learn as an apprentice tradesman.

I think you should have your right to have any 'official' records expunged from private entities.

My last conversation with a JW
by LoveUniHateExams inso, i got to thinking about the last time i spoke to a jw.. i was still living down south, june or july 2012.. and i saw this brother in my local high street.
he was a few years younger than me - in his late teens and my early twenties we used to go out to pubs and get smashed.
now this guy starts acting super spiritual - he sees me and after exchanging pleasantries he starts going on about armageddon and how the end is so close.

"only he can stop it", which is to say you can't.
This seems kinda like the GB waiting for Joe Hoover to stop the lawyers from "stealing" all of their money!
