Dysfunctional JWs? Isn't that a redundant repetitive phrase?

Is this new donation arrangement for real?
by nugget in

just read a post on jwsurvey about the new donation arrangement.

congregations are to pledge a monthly amount to be sent to the society to fund the building of assembly halls and kingdom halls.

congregations who already have a loan from the society will no longer have to pay back the loan but the amount pledged should not be less than the current monthly repayments to the society.

This is so sad. When will otherwise intelligent people (like my family ) wake up? Are they not paying attention, have their brain cells all withered and are no longer capable of reasoning? Guess this is some of what they were being prepared for when they were told to obey whether it makes sense or not.

Yeah, NewYork, I was trying to think who was it that has "I Told You I Was Sick". Funny. I love the old Andy Hardy movies he was in.

Yeah, I am a pet/house sitter. Checking the client's mailbox this last weekend, found one tucked between mailbox and house. I NEVER throw anything away that my client receives, but, well yes, I made an exception with this. It really is stupid to invite the public "to share in the celebration" when all it consists of is listening to a boring talk and watching as some wine and crackers are passed around that no one is supposed to touch. Golly, wonder what a person would think being there for the first time and not knowing anything about JWs.

but their views on blood are just plain weird!

meat has blood in it even if it's bled.

still eating meat means consuming blood.

Blood, everyone was bad and going to be destroyed except JWs, the subjugation of women and the stupid dress code. I have not worn or owned a dress or skirt for almost 30 years now!

the assembly overall was basically all about doing more, not wasting your youth (a waste being anything but pioneering) and bashing apostates.

well without further ado... .

talk- the voice of jehovah is powerful.

Jeannette: I dont know. I have watched documentaries on HAARP and don't fully understand it, but I don't think man has that much control over the weather (except for global warming, which is controversial, so I wont go into that). I think weather goes in cycles and we are unfortunately in a crappy one. I am in northeast Ohio, so as we say, if you dont like the weather, wait a minute and it will change. It is supposed to hit 60 here by Tuesday!

Maybe Terry is doing this to get us to have conversations with each other.

Ok, I guess you didnt say you would answer the questions, or maybe you are just waiting 24 hours to see how many take the bait, or maybe you are doing research on the variety of questions people would ask or maybe you are watching the basketball games or you have fallen and can't get up or maybe you are like me, looking out the window watching the snow fall on March 29 and wondering when this friggin winter is going to be over.
