  If everyone is manifesting the fruitages of the spirit, what could go wrong?

  Or are they just the same as every other group of people?

  I agree with nowwhat? I don't feel at all sorry for people who've lived their whole lives looking down their collective noses at others that they perceive are "less than." Working for a corporation that advocates for the mass murder of billions, then being turned out penniless? Good.

  I'm not bitter, just being real.

  Armageddon has started in Astoria, Queens

  now we know that the con ed plant in astoria, queens had an explosion, but before anyone knew what the heck was going on, so many people were posting on social media their pictures of the "strange blue circle light" that was in the sky this evening,usually st. johns which is near me has a fireworks display after a game, i thought this doesn't look like fireworks, much brighter and no sound, it actually looked like it was 4pm in the afternoon right before the sun leaves the sky.. i live in the jamaica section of queens (just up from trump's foot dr. if you saw that article in nytimes.

  com the other day) and haven't lost power but laguardia is dark now, no flights in are out.

  just wondering how the old school dubs that saw the lights outside window, thought "finally, the big a is here" !.

  My morning routine is watching Ken Rosado et al on ABC7. The daily parade of weird shit that goes on in the city everyday is enough to make you think the world has ended.

  When I travel to smaller markets and turn on the morning news, it's folks wishing Happy Birthday to their tykes and the occasional traffic accident.

  In the meantime, I'm not holding my breath for the Big A.

  For those Genuinely Concerned about Press Freedom

  by Simon in

  our illustrious leader, justin trudeau, has just announced a half a $billion fund that will be given out to "trustworthy" news sources.. of course this will have nothing todo with the fact that there will be a federal election next year and there are plenty of bad things to highlight in the liberals record.

  they will obviously dole the money out in a totally impartial manner, even handing funding to reporters that are critical of them and trudeau.

  "trustworthy" news sources won't just be a euphemism for "writes positive stories about me, avoids negative ones".

  There is nothing keeping Trudeaus critics, such as yourself, from speaking out in any forum or public media. Much ado about nothing.

  i was commenting on another thread about how local kh attendance is down.

  memorial attendance was also way down and the circuit assembly had hundreds less people than what is typical.

  my jw family has even mentioned it.

  Kinda strange that someone frequents a message board that is meant for observation and experience and demands "proof" for any statement of said observation.

  In answer to your OP, although there are carts in many places, in NYC I have not seen a group going door to door in many years. That's just my personal observation. If you want proof of residency, well too bad.

  I haven't stepped inside a KH in ten years, so I can't comment on attendance. I do see quite a few cars in the parking lot on Sunday. Although the local hall has 3 congo's and many of the cars may be there all day.

  I do think that it's fair to say that the wits are on the decline and have been for awhile.

  so serena williams lost the us open final 6-2, 6-4 to naomi osaka, her japanese-american opponent.. williams received three code violations from the umpire, carlos ramos: .

  1. a warning for illegal coaching (subsequently admitted by williams's coach).

  2. a point penalty for smashing her racquet.

  Except that Billy Jean King agrees with her. I think she knows a little more about tennis than most who have sounded off here.

  Ken Flodin here just reinforced the teaching that only those who are baptized, dedicated and in good standing will survive Armageddon.

  Everyone else will be crushed like a glass as useless people.

  District Assemblies now being held at Circuit Assembly locations?

  by ShirleyW in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i haven't been to a kh in decades, so i get the google alerts for jws and i got one featuring a local news channel in brooklyn covering the assembly being held in flatbush, brooklyn.

  i'm sure that venue is where the circuit assemblies are usually held, keeping in mind it's summer and that's when the district assemblies are being held.

  why are they acting like they're so strapped for cash and now holding district assemblies in circuit assemblies locations ?.
