  Cost of Attending the International Conventions

  by RubaDub in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have never been invited/requested/applied to any international convention, other than it happening to be our own convention in new york city where we were already assigned (i think back and maybe this happened two times or so when i was growing up).. anyway, people here keep commenting about the cost to attend; the inflated airfares, rooms, transportation, etc.. does anyone have some actual numbers to provide?

  i realize that the cost of attending a convention in a different country will be affected by some variations in airfare from the departure city but generally how much do these things cost?

  are they comparable to a tour from an expedia, travelocity or other travel site?.

  These are the ones I had in mind. No blue logo as they were pre logo' days.

  Taped mouth? dont ge to picky as it revealed women being silenced.

  The ad by Zalkin is so telling. The justice at the CARC said of the elders 'they are the least prepared and have no understanding of procedure.'

  thanks all.

  If the UK leaves the EU WITHOUT a deal.....

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. social
  2. current

  .....it would appear that the republic of ireland (not the uk) is responsible under eu law for the setting up of a hard border with its non-eu neighbour, northern ireland.

  just as spain had to do with ceuta in morocco.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ceuta_border_fence.

  a 310 mile border would cost a helluva lot to build and to cover with security.

  TFG.

  exactly. Ireland is not a wealthy country such a border (againstwhat..?) would be better spent if there is money there spare at all on all the usual needs of housing medical schools roads you know the boring things that employ people and make for a better life.

  Ireland please avoid the hard border to avoid a return to the horrors that a hard border will re-create.

  "Gem from the November 2019 WT. Reject apostate material because JWs trust in "their brothers."

  dear friends.

  i didn't post for a while, but i still enjoy the great jwn community.. just wanted to share a "gem" from the november 2019 study watchtower.. paragraph 8 from the article "are you maintaining your large shield of faith?".

  satan, “the father of the lie,” uses those under his control to spread lies about jehovah and about our brothers and sisters.

  As an org that considers you can lie if it suits aka "theological warfare" which was raised to their utter embarrassment at the CARC this is coming over pretty damn thick.

  Tarriffs

  i am not a mathematician, so i have a question -- the dow dropped almost 900 points today due to china devaluing its yuan against the us dollar.

  what will the impact be on markets as well as the farmers, steel, etc.?

  - this is crazy and as dt is a tariff guy, the country is being devastated by the results.

  China devalues..? The everything Chinese should be cheaper to buy. An Australian Prime Minister devalued the Australian Dollar once by 17% and every one said he was wonderful. I dont recall getting anything out of it.

  I recall reading of some Neanderthal graves found in Spain. These were people buried with ritual as there were objects and items (cant recall what now) in grave with them.

  These were positively identified but the interesting thing about some of the remains was that they showed non human DNA..

  Brothers Saying PIMO Things In Talks

  by APieceOfShitNamedTate in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been paying very close attention to talks ever since waking up.

  i probably pay more attention now than i ever did while i was sleeping.

  anyway, i think there are a lot of brothers who are awake, and they try their best to go against the grain while up on that stage.

  a woman is suing a local congregation ("kingdom hall of jehovah’s witnesses, roy, utah, an unincorporated association"), individual elders and watchtower ny after, she claims, a judicial committee forced her to listen an audio recording of her own rape.

  the trial court summarized the facts as alleged by the plaintiff as follows:.

  at the time of the judicial committee, plaintiff was fifteen years old.

  Lets hope the case gets a full and clear airing in a court. My question to elders

  • Did you listen to the tape prior to playing it at the 'judical inquiry'?
  • HM times did you listen to it?
  • Were you alone when you listened to it?
  • Which other elders were there when it was played?
  • HM have discussed this tape and its contents before this became a 'judicial inquiry'?
    
  • did you find it arousing individually or as a group?

  Such questions would be no less than what has been done to other victims. Lets hope the case is aired and the wt revealed for what it is....once more.
