how much did your congregation and its bank account get taken for?
share your horror story!.
The Searcher, if you have ever heard the phrase "getting blood from a turnip," that phrase applies here. While there are a few rich congregations, most are pretty poor.
It would be interesting to find out how the results align with what was expected by HQ. I am sure getting that last rusty nickel will be the focus of the CO visits. Is all I can say is: good luck with that. You couldn't pay me enough to take that job.
a new set of income statistics answers those questions quite clearly: yes, college is worth it, and its not even close.
for all the struggles that many young college graduates face, a four-year degree has probably never been more valuable.. here is the article from the new york times:.

i really would just like to ask them if they believe everything they hear on the platform or read in a magazine.
they seriously look like cultists.
it is embarrassing..
"Have a nice day."
Other than that there is no zinger I care to unload to change his or her beliefs.
i have heard from reliable source that this summer's conventions will feature video of various gb members as they speak and announce releases.
the regional (as opposed to the international conventions) will have numerous video monitors all around.
anyone else heard about this?.
This is new information to me. Thanks for posting. In essence, this negates the whole purpose of having an assembly. I have participated in numerous web-based seminars and sessions. THey are wonderful and so efficient.
So, why would a witness travel to a faraway location, take vacation time, spend money on hotels, food and travel when the same event can be viewed on-line?
I only ask this rhetorically. If I was part of the gb, I think I could come up with a few reasons to inflict additional pain on the r&f. One of the reasons would be “just for the fun of it” or to state it differently “because I can.”
i was thinking of the arrogant titles jw's give up the pecking order.
teachers.
glorious ones.
I am leaning towards: "Those whose poop don't stink."
this site is probably one of the most informative jw sites on the internet.
if you want to keep abreast of the watchtower, this is a great place to find out the latest in jw land.
kudos to simon for keeping it going all these years!!!
It is pretty lame for someone like me to be critical. This site has stood the test of time and has succeeded. I tip my hat to all have been a part of the success.
I have nothing in terms of recommendations. May be dancing bears, other than that - I got nothin.
suzuki boulevard c50 for me.. .

I never had a bike, and I am so jealous. As it stands, I think I am too old to start a new vice.
what kind of god are you looking for?.
the one i want to hire has to fill these requirements:.
1. kind to a fault without being a namby-pampy hippy.
Yea, but I think god is a union worker. You know how hard it is to fire a union worker.
no longer a ms ........................... can't give details atm, for it might be a dead-giveaway and it ain't quite over yet.
but, it really taught me one thing: if you're trying to fade or stay in, trust no one.
and i mean no one.. eden.
Great story. Thank you for keeping us updated.
well my wife and i still arent attending meetings....we first agreed to go here and there...oops.
anyways we missed the last meeting and suddenly our phone blew up!
it was like 17 missed calls!
I think that is a regional thing. In one congregation, there were those that regularly called. They eventually gave up on me, but I was never offended by their calls. When in Florida, I don't ever recall having this happen.
