  Is burying someone on a golf course tacky?

  by GabeAthouse in

  trump's first wife and mother of his children died recently.

  they had her buried on his golf course.

  do you think this is tacky or a savvy business move since it'll now get them some tax breaks as a cemetery?.

  Tax breaks? Really?

  It is kinda odd that The Donald just now decided to start his own family plot there beginning with an ex-wife.

  LE vids are just a lot of hot air. 2 hours to say 5 minutes worth.

  AMEN to that!

  In person attendance

  we got the inevitable letter today.. meet, associate and "encourage" in person unless sick or infirm.

  also dress up for zoom if you must use it.

  locally over half are on zoom, 3/4 no picture.

  I suspect that the real facts are that the GB Heavies (pun intended) are aware that Zoom meetings have made it possible for "faders" to gradually fade. No one is really able to take that attendance count of their "service group" and see who is constantly AWOL.

  IF you don't start showing up in person, you will be on their radar.

  I read it when it first became available.

  Great reading. In fact I read it in one or two days.

  Don't think a "never-have-been-a-JW" would get much out of it, but any JW would for sure.

  in the us, our mega millions lottery jackpot has reached over 1billion dollars!

  what would you do if you won?

  i think i’d run public service announcements on television, alerting people of the dangers of the wt cult, among other things.

  I'm not sure it would be enough to care for all the friends that I'd have once the news hit that I'd won.

  You're at the age where you should have some plans for your future. Getting free from WT isn't enough. You have to have a plan because at some point Mom & Dad aren't going to want to continue to support you.

  Good luck!

  so did anyone else have the misfortune of listening to sanderson’s talk corresponding to the saturday morning convention program?.

  full title is “young people - choose a path that leads to peace!”.

  the basic idea is, hey you teenagers, you ought to be pioneers, wt construction workers, and/or bethelites.. i tried to put myself back in time an embarrassing number of decades…if i were in this talk’s target audience, how would i respond?.

  Better to keep 'em down on the farm than send 'em to school where they might learn something.

  when is the kingdom of god coming?.

  on being asked by the pharisees when the kingdom of god was coming, he answered them: “the kingdom of god is not coming with paratherisis; 21 nor will people say, ‘see here!’ or, ‘there!’ for look!

  the kingdom of god is in your midst.” —lu 17:20,21. .

  To what branches was this direction given?

  The latter part talks about privacy information. That is not an issue in the US.

  At least he got a JW haircut. Guess he figures he needs that clean-cut appearance again.
