  Does money buy happiness and a longer life? You decide...

  by Brock Talon in

  i poured over time magazine's sep 8-15 2014 edition article "who we are" and put together this spreadsheet on the results from their poll.

  i found the statistics quite fascinating.. most people would say that "money doesn't buy happiness", but this poll seems to me to indicate the exact opposite of that.

  it also correlates education levels with higher earning that result in that happiness.

  Not in all cases, but for the most part one can say it does buy happiness.

  Think for a minute. What brings us happiness? Being in good health, being close to our family and friends, etc. Does money help here? Yes clearly.

  For example, if you have money you have better changes of being healthy; you can afford the best doctors and the best treatments, you can afford to buy the best food which is fresh and organic. You have plenty of free time to exercise.

  A lot of marriages break up because of money problems and the stress of trying to make ends meet. If you have miliions, all of your bills are paid, you can relax with your family in beautiful settings. You don't have to stress about cleaning you house. Hard to juggle 3 kids? Just hire someone to help you.

  Want to be miserable in rush hour traffic going to a 9 - 5 job? Or want to sip on a cocktail in tahiti with your loved ones?

  Now that i think about it, i'm gonna go out buy me a lottery ticket.

  Spell "Ebola" backward, and what do you get? "Alobe". Now, fill in "missing" letters. You get "Al[l ]obe[y]". This whole thing is the result of their damn LIE-ble, and is a curse to get "pestilence" into our world just before "the end". The "end" is the end of having any freedom, and is to be followed with global communism.

  What a bunch of nonsense! The virus is named after the Ebola river in Zaire where the first cases were detected.

  And since Jehoober is going to murder these people anyway, why is it bad? Aren't these folks simply doing Jehoober's wish?

  Why is that surprising? You expected them to say anything negative? if you read a paper in North Korea you would think you live in the most progressive and advanced country in the world. Thats how it works. Everythign is always good. Everything is always successfull. Take anything negative and sweep it under the rug and replace it with any positive news. The Watchtower society is a totalitarian religious regime, complete with a way to silence any dissenters.

  One Day assembly in Arizona- $17,000 !!

  by AndDontCallMeShirley in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i heard from a reliable source that a one-day assembly in arizona last weekend had a "cost" to the publishers of $17,000.. predictably, the elders were nice enough to obligate the attendees to a $6,000 donation to wt before the assembly "costs" (i.e.

  "rent/extortion) were even met.

  $11,000 rent plus $6000 in extra "donations".

  This goes back to there is a per publisher cost added to the overall cost of the assembly.

  Exactly!. So each assembly automatically starts off with a deficit. It doesn't matter how much money was collected before, because the calculation of cost per publisher is always lower than the meager amount that is kept in the account.

  I recall that everytime i heard the financial report being read, i wondered what exactly is creating such an expense. Light? Water? Soap?Toiled Paper? Something didn't add up.

  China overtakes U.S. as the the world's largest economy'--WT predictions upside down?

  china overtakes u.s. as the the world's largest economy': imf says.*.

  again problem for writing committee of jws?

  after ussr disintegration, jws said: now we have only one world power (south king) on the world scene, and north king will appear in its own time, may be as one of the former ussr state or as some other communist country.. but now equations are now totally upside downwith a communist country replacing the south kings as the world power!?.

  Biggest economy does not equate to biggest superpower or even world leader.

  Unfortunately mismanagement at the highest level is slowly bringing the US down, but we are likely decades away from the US being pushed aside as the most prominent country on earth, assuming it happens

  Just because chinese leaders are fattening their pockets while enslaving their population in factories at minimum wage to assemble trinkets that western middle classes can buy, while polutting their own backyard without any regards for safety, doesn't make them world leaders.

  The United States of America is still the Mecca for business. Chinese brains didn't come with Iphone, they just punch their card on the way to the assembly line to screw the parts together in exchange of some meager shekles which are just enough to buy pork lo mein for the family.

  When we start seeing people desperately jumping the chinese border from other countries to take advantage of the great opportunities they offer, they perhaps we'll know they've arrived.

  imo the most exciting thing you will ever do in "the truth" is to leave !.

  that's right, no website or rc nu-lite or service meeting letter compares.

  to the adrenaline rush of waking up, planning your strategic withdrawal,.

  To this day i've never found a better way to fade than to simply change congos.

  This is sometimes hard to justify unless you are actually moving, BUT a common excuse is to say that you are going to attend a foreign language congo in the same area, because you are interested in the language.

  Then, make the move. Introduce yourself to the elders in the new hall, but keep your distance and don't make friends. Once your records are transfered, immediately cut back to a meeting a week, then after a month stop completely. Nobody will really miss you At some point the elders will notice, and then it's ilness and extra hour at work bullshit time.

  Letts shows up noo "generation" teaching

  by hamsterbait in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in his preesentation, he speaks to "you the young ones".

  "you are the next generation of " adult witnesses.

  this one sentence using generation in the normal way, at a stroke, shows they just made up the overlapping teaching to get themselves out of a hole.. .

  he speaks to "You the young ones". He says "You are THE NEXT GENERATION of " adult witnesses.

  You really see the strategy of this move - they are appealing to a younger crowd by coming up with the webcast format. Do they realize that the "young ones" are too busy watching the copious amounts of actual interesting content that the internet has to offer?

  After the first month of hype about this web tv channel, interest will plunge. Young ones are too busy trying to figure out how much "bad" stuff they can get away without the elders knowing, in between being nudged by their parents to attend the meetings.

  The story of Fatima is true, just ask the little children who saw her.

  lol...But wait, didn't our Lady of Fatima told them 3 secrets that prove it's all real? Hmm let's see:

  1st secret: A great sea of fire which seemed to be under the earth full of demons and souls. Same type of cryptic garbage that nobody understands just like revelation.

  2nd secret: That WWI would end and a second world war would begin. Secret was told to the public in 1941!!! thanks for nothing...

  3rd secret: That christians would be persecuted and that there would be an assassination attempt on Pope John Paul. Secret was revealed to the public in 1983, 2 years after the assassination attempt. Thanks for nothing!!
