My pleasure & you're welcome mean the exact same thing. (If you know anything about word origins)
Welcome is a construct of Old English meaning pleasing.

24Whatever happened to "YOU'RE WELCOME"? Has "NO PROBLEM" replaced it?
by Terry inwherever i go, i say "thank you" to clerks, servers, delivery people, hosts and hostesses and the response has become invariable: "no problem!".
have i aged to the point i'm now an old fuddy duddy who doesn't "get it"?.
is it counted mannerly to avoid, "you're welcome" in favor of "no problem"?.

What would you do if you won a $300 million lottery
by LevelThePlayingField ini would pay a highly rated, very expensive advertising company to run a 1 minute ad that ran nationwide primetime every night of the week until i spent $75 million of it telling how the wt was covering over pedophiles and for people to go to jwfacts.com for the truth about the truth.
it would be done in very good taste, way better than political ads.
i would spare no expense.

Move to St Thomas or St Croix USVI .... sit on the beach front sipping colorful drinks with mini umbrellas in them. Then travel around. Donate some to real charities. Wander about the rainforest and savannas giving naked people with rings in their noses money to buy their ancestral lands. -

Pshycos! - 2016 "Remain Loyal to Jehovah" Regional Convention Program
by thedepressedsoul inwow this is interesting!
i think how much emphasis this puts on "loyalty" shows their is an issue.
they're trying to plug the wholes as much and quickly as possible.

So they're taking the Song of Solomon out of their Bible edition?
Be like David? Isn't he the guy who rewarded "loyal" Uriah with a certain death so he could boink the wife?
Meh, they don't want anyone loyal to God, they want everyone loyal to 7 men.

Younger people say things differently than oldz. Case in point: "the authorities". Under 60 simply say, "the police". -

How the Churches got the ‘End of the World’ wrong in 1492.
by fulltimestudent inin 1453 constantinople (also known as byzantium), the last remnant of the once mighty roman empire was a christian island in an islamic sea.
the city had been seriously weakened during the holy fourth crusade (1202-04), when fellow christians of the catholic brand had besieged the city, captured it, and savagely sacked it.. ( who needs enemies when you have christian friends?).
a miniature of the siege, artist unknown.

The world did end ... for the indigenous of the Americas. Sickened and slaughtered by members of some church of course. -

Hiererchy among elders --so says Kenneth Flodin
by wannaexit inthere has always been a hierarchy among elders.
now it's been validated by kenneth flodin in this talk about the word "princes".
so not any elder can be a prince in the new order.

Yeah but what happens if you are neither male nor female? You're right about one thing, they sound crazier than cray cray. People who have no clue what's going to happen tomorrow, have no business discussing daily doings of the future. -

Sad really. Reminds me of 1950's interracial relationships. Adults having to hide their love from view. -

What's the point of it anyway? You aren't doing anything in "remembrance". Who goes to a meal where you're not allowed to eat? Better still, it's ignorant to invite people to a meal when you know you aren't going to feed them.
It's exclusionary. Jesus sacrificed himself only for a small few, according to JW thought, and not for the whole world. But Jesus isn't mentioned much, so ....

Did any of us ever enjoy meetings?
by stephanie61092 inthis is a legitimate question.
did any of us ever find real joy in being at the meetings?
did any of us ever finish a meeting and think "i feel so enriched"?

Nope. They were solemn and boring. The WT study was particularly excruciatingly boring. Everyone has already read the article, just ask the dayum questions, don't bore us all to death reading it allowed.
Sometimes, I did enjoy the 2nd school where we would put candy corns in our teeth to make the 'student' laugh. The best part of the school were the sisters. That's the only time you heard a general conversation. (Takes far more work than a Bible reading)

Lol!!! I think Abraham and progeny would take exception to that silliness. Those idiots won't be in charge of anything. No 3rd parties required.
Besides, if resurrected ones are neither male nor female, like the angels, how's that going to work? Angels or the like don't take direction from imperfect humans. You would think people there would be sick and tired of others interference ... that's no paradise.
IF I wasn't "saved" because of your blood and sacrifice to get into paradise, you can piss off.
