Without knowing how much those men are making, it's difficult to determine how fair the system was
Interesting comment, but true.
Who decided that I should give "Society" a greater percentage of my earnings than the guy next to me who works part time because he wants to do it that way because it gives him the opportunity to help out on maintenance at the Ass Hall?

Forty two minutes?
Sorry. Can't do it.
Of course, I realize it could be worse. It could be Stephen Bozo Lett.
damn....october 1, 2022 already upon us!
yesterday's jw annual meeting was held without a word...without any prior mention of it.
anyone on this forum attend the event supposedly held via zoom?
Were is the time we had a lot to talk about new light and changes after the AM
Ahhhh, the "new light" is dim and flickering these days. Probably a rolling brown out.
can i ask please especially for all who are pomo?.
we've taken a decision similar to revelation 18:4 to get out of the watchtower and not share in its sins.. how many of you still believe that god will one day terminate the world's many systems by means of an armageddon?.
I'm betting we get wiped out by an asteroid sooner than the Big A. Or, a bit worried about the F*cksticks around the globe that have nuclear capability. Even that seems more likely than Armageddon at God's hands.
for those of you who still respect the bible, which translation/s are you using now?
why?.
I usually go to the NIV online, but I caught myself pulling out the Diaglott recently when "online" wasn't available.
(Yeah you read it right. No internet in the heart of the USA [admittedly very rural heart of the USA] even though we've been paying a tax for it since Al Gore introduced the idea.)

You're a fine elder with outstanding spiritual qualifications when you "take one" for the "Team" -- The WTS/GB Team
This is about when they pull out Heb 6:10 -- The Governing Body is not so unjust as to forget what you did to save their asses.(Tho they forget about you as you're being billing $100"s/hr for your personal attorney or while you're ass is rotting in jail -- with a bunch of felons you think you protect child abusers. NOT a good scenario. Even they have little kids.)

We could have been so much better. ~ Punky
Yes! That is sad to contemplate. What if . . . . . .
i would like to ask the ex-jws on this site to put their ‘apologists hat’ back on for a moment, so that i can go through the overlapping generation teaching in an attempt to make sense of it.
i apologise if these points have already been addressed on this site.a quick background for the reason for my request… having never confronted a jw apologist on the topic, i recently engaged with a jw regarding the official understanding of a ‘generation’ and unfortunately he didn’t have an answer to the points i was making.
i was left a little confused as to what the official jw response would/should be.so i was hoping that my thoughts below might be considered from an apologist’s perspective.the point in question relates to this section of the watchtower article below from 2008, as well as the jw.org video explanation of the overlapping generation:---:w08 2/15[box on page 25] can we calculate the length of “this generation”?the word “generation” usually refers to people of various ages whose lives overlap during a particular time period or event.
Sadly, that video is "spot on"!
for the record, 'colder pizza' is the fifth youtuber to read this incredible letter.. jws hate this letter because it accurately expresses current watch tower teachings which they have embraced as "the truth" in language commonly used by jws in private conversation but would never express so candidly to non-jws.. most people have known at least one jw at some point in their life, but nobody knows what jws actually believe; therefore, they view jws as basically a harmless religion.
this letter is designed to correct that common misapprehension.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7099bfvhvs&t=378s.
And we used to believe all of that to be The Troof.
as if.no, of course he's already asking for federal aid.
it's the republican way.
florida needs the rest of the country to pitch in taxpayer dollars because it's different when it happens to me.
Is that because all of those with their hands out for free stuff congregate in the big metro areas where it is more plentiful?
