The purchased the hotels near Warwick for workers without any concern for cash flow. Hard for me to believe they're really "hurting". I do think they see the writing on the wall that things are going to come crashing down (an exodus that is already starting) and are preparing for that.

They need MORE $$$$$
by TallTexan ini haven't been to a meeting in years, but i was recently told by a friend of mine that they have really been hammering the 'use of your valuable things in support of the kingdom' in many of the talks and thursday night parts.
i know they used to mention it all the time, but he said it's gotten really bad lately.
i told him that's because the membership in the western (translate that to "richer"...lol) countries has really fallen off and even become negative in many countries and that the 3rd world countries can't contribute enough to support the great publishing empire.

There is no proof for almost ALL religious doctrines of ALL religion.
It's not FAITH. It's CREDULITY. You have to WANT to believe this bullshit.

These people are attempting to make us accept them for how they believe they are when they cannot accept themselves for what how they were born (really are).

Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread
by Simon inthis topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.
latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.
the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

Our health-care managers are shit.
And some of our politicans are suggesting they should manage ALL of our healthcare needs -- because the Government is SO EFFICIENT with everything else they do!

Interesting piece about Stephen Lett and family: property developers
by Diogenesister inanother very well researched programme by the blue envelope exploring stephen lett's bio and his family interest in property.
interestingly his parents were pioneering until the new service year 1975 , when they immediately changed tack and began investing in properties along the gulf coast.
once again, highly recommended veiwing.. https://youtu.be/9qh0jbvsdrc.

Any JW who followed the "advice" (direction) of the GB and kept their eye simple and pursued Kingdom interests first and stored up things "in heaven" vs planning for retirement etc simply GOT SCREWED because they followed that advice.
Instead of having a good education with good benefits and a pension or 401(k), they likely have a low-paying, manual labor job that is taxing on their aged body, or they are "self employed" in a venture such as the cleaning business and will have to continue working to supplement their Social Security (US here). And, instead of having money in investments, they have worthless old time slips for worthless hours of Field Serve-Us. But all of this just keeps them more "dependent" on Joe Hoover. He will never disappoint them.

Excellent video.
It's would be interesting to know what the insurance company paid out on the restaurant fire.
Seems to me there are many JW's following the example of Steven Lett. They talk out of one side of their mouth about The End ™ being soooo close, yet out of the other side they are speculating on new homes, their 401(k) and pensions for their retirement.
IMO, most JW's DO NOT BELIEVE ARMAGEDDON TO BE "RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER". Don't listen to what they say. Watch what they do.

Tulsi Gabbard would surely be the best candidate by a mile to stand against Trump.
The VP on the ticket is going to have to be a woman. Gotta bring in those female voters. Gabbard would be good but Hawaii is a blue State anyway. They really need a woman (esp if a minority female) from a purple State to help draw that State into the blue column. Klobuchar would pull in MINN.
Whether it's Biden or Bernie, the old dude is likely to die in office (or lose it mentally), so that VP is going to likely become Pres.

DOC...it was said on SNL in a spoof of her. To the brainless leftists that is the same thing. ~ Doctor Who
Let's be honest. SNL might be a better source of news than CNN or MSNBC.

holding my binoculars trying to see Russia
Just one example of the things Palin DID NOT SAY.
Not running here in defense of her. Just setting the record straight.
I never liked her. I said from the first day that McCain picked her that he sealed his fate in the election. Silly old man choosing young blonde bimbo.
