Look at this ridiculous quote:

"Everything about us is carried in our blood," said Ortiz. "Our personality, our sickness, all the good things about us. It's who we are. It's our soul."

WTF? Do they even hear themselves? Our personality?

so i was fooled by the witnesses.

what can i learn from that?

not to accept things at face value but to seek out opinion and different view points.. hence my question " do you believe man landed on the moon?.

They do get kickbacks. It works something like this: A hotel books a certain number of rooms, say 50, and they give 2 comp rooms to the rooming department.

The comp rooms are first used for visiting bethel speakers and traveling overseers. But, there are usually so many comp rooms to go around, that they end up getting used by the Rank & File that are in the know.

In order to get a comp room as a Rank & File, you have to agree to a "suggested" donation for the hotel rate.

So, if you get the comp room, you are "suggested" to donate, say, $80/night (if that was the hotel's rate).

I really REALLY like my Roku. I've been a Roku customer since the first version.

The kids could use a Roku 3 in their room.

Here's why I'm going to use the code, regardless of whether 5% goes to Watchtower:

I need a new Roku, and I sure as hell could use the 20% discount.

What JW.ORG might look like if a Bethelite went rogue - (if only this would really happen.)

You know, setting up a site eerily similar to JW-dot-org that has this sort of thing might be an idea (maybe have its server in another country to avoid legal)...

I've thought about designing a PirateBox landing page to look just like JW-dot-org, but have TTATT articles instead of the actual website.

It's pretty devious to do that.

There are pros and cons.

wifibandit knows what I'm talking about.

"And what happened next was simply unbelievable!"

i always sit in the same spot, just outside starbucks in a vestibule area with a table in the air-conditioned space.

i say "always," but not today.. somebody with two laptops and a table filled with business ledgers was in "my" favorite spot!.

so, i took a tiny wooden table inside the coffee shop on a long padded bench next to 3 other identical tables.. as the clickbait banner ads like to say: "and what happened next was simply unbelievable!".

You didn't hurt them. The organization's own policies did.
