Terry, you're a bit older than me, but even at my age I have to admit that I thought it would take a lot longer to get this old.

At one time jw's used to be able to have actual discussions with people, sadly they know so little about jw doctrine, the Bible and history they don't know what to believe until their Lords in NY tell them what to believe. ~ Carla
In years past, JW's may not have really studied the Bible, but at least they studied their doctrine in their literature and could make a good effort to defend it.
JW's today do know know JW doctrine. How could they possibly defend it (even if it was defensible).

I think every WalMart is 24/7, with self-checkout I don’t even think they have employees working at night, maybe 1 cashier?
Just ring everything in as Bananas @ 49¢ /lb. If they complain, tell them you had very poor training on the equipment.

Biahi, today that kind of thing would get posted online and go viral.
Can't you imagine the WTF moment they'd have at HQ over something like that!

Who said anything about removing elders arrangement?
Elders are the unpaid company men of WT. There is no one else to care for their paperwork, property maintenance & repair, and to bully anyone who looks like they are getting out of line.

Boris Johnson must resign
by LoveUniHateExams inon may 20, 2020, boris johnson's private secretary sent out an e-mail to 100 staff asking them to enjoy the sunshine in the downing street garden, adding they could bring their own bottle.. at the time the uk was under a harsh covid lockdown - people could meet up with up to six members of their own household, and only with one person from another household, socially-distanced of course.
the prime minister attended this party for 25 minutes but his excuse yesterday at pmqs was that he thought it was a work event.
as excuses go, this one is right up there with 'the dog ate my homework', lol.. boris johnson must resign - if you force harsh rules on people but break those same rules yourself, it's surely game over.. his private secretary should go, too..

We used to have them. All the major grocers were open 24/7 (though closed for major holidays). No more is that the case. Covid is blamed for the reduced hours, including the fact that they cannot hire enough employees to cover all of those extended shifts. Most are now open 7 days/week but only from 7am-9pm.

I was under the impression that language has appeared in the Watchtower that states Jehovah's Witnesses should treat those who intentionally stop associating (i.e. go to meetings, etc.) as those who disassociate themselves ~ TruthBKnown
Guess the new Silver Sword Bible cut out Jesus' words about saving one sheep. Or they are all just so busy reaching out to new candidates.
“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance." Luke 15:4-7
