this isn't a poor me thread.....just what is going on here in my small world.. since both my son and me own tour companies, when the lock down happened three weeks ago our businesses literally died over night.

we both depended on the tourist that come to phoenix and sedona, so that all went away as people stop taking vacations.

all future tours have been cancelled.. my son moved in with me two days ago, much to chagrin of his jehovah's witness mother.

This isn't a poor me thread.....just what is going on here in my small world.

Since both my son and me own tour companies, when the lock down happened three weeks ago our businesses literally died over night.

We both depended on the tourist that come to Phoenix and Sedona, so that all went away as people stop taking vacations. All future tours have been cancelled.

My son moved in with me two days ago, much to chagrin of his Jehovah's Witness mother. He is already bored out of his mind.

Together we have have enough money to last two to three months....after that who knows.

I never had much in savings, a combination of being a JW for 52 years, (with the end of the world coming any day so why save anything) and a costly divorce after leaving the Jehovah's Witnesses, my wife got $2,300 in alimony a month not child support.

Plus there has been a bunch of just bad and stupid financial decisions since then.

Bottom line here we are. I take complete responsibility.

However regrets? Not really, I bless it all. I do worry about my children and grandchildren and what their world will look like.

The Chinese have a saying. "May you live in interesting times!"

We certainly have those.

Namaste my friends, we will see you on the side of this thing.

I started to post this to "Gorbatchov" question.

The world will not be the same. We all know this.

The voice of "Christmas Future"

The governments will infuse trillions of dollars into the corporations, not its people. This money of course has no real value. It hasn't since 1935 when we went off the gold standard. Because of this, the corporations will survive the coming crash. Why? Because government IS big business.

There was a lot of personal freedoms (human rights) that went away after the 9/11 event and most if not all will go away in the future as we head into Orwellian times.

As George Carlin once said "There are no rights, only temporary privileges."

There will be a collapse bigger than 1929. However the banks and major corporations will survive it, They will consolidate their power. They will bring that power to bare on the those who are not in their club. "The useless eaters" as they like to call us. There will be no "Go Bags" because you are not going anywhere!

People will finally realize that the world was never really run by politics and religion but by big business....just watch the movie "Network."

If you are in an industrial nation everyone will be required to join their club, whether you want to or not. Everyone will get their chip inserted into them, or who knows maybe it will be injected by way of a vaccine that people will line up for.

People in third world countries and those already living off the grid will fair better than those who are still playing games on their TVs and cells phones.

So your only choice will be which subsidiary of the only 5 corporation left in the world you will be working for. "Hi my name is Tommy I work for Safeway a division of Exxon oil."

In the end they will have control of 80% of the planet as we head into...."1984"

There is another option. There could be an uprising.

In which case the movie goes from "1984" to "Mad Max" which is also very scary.

Don't think this is a possibility? How much has your world changed in just three weeks!

Your thoughts?

People criticize the rank of The WatchTower and Awake!

by dydeonwl in

people are not willing to accept the popularity of the watchtower and awake as these magazines belong to jw.

a listing site has declared the watchtower the most popular magazine in the world.. source: https://tingtopten.com/2020/01/top-10-most-popular-magazines-in-the-world/.

in comment section of this link people are abusing again jehovah's witnesses.

1234

You have been on the board about 2 months and all 5 of the topics you posted have been about how wonderful and popular the Watchtower and Awake magazines are.

Just because people like to drink Kool-Aid doesn't mean it's good for them.

we all know that things are all going to be way different when we get through this milestone.. like hurricane katrina, people survived this but new orleans even 16 years later is way different.

our economy is like a shark that must keep moving through the water.

stop it and it will die.. the witnesses like many people in the world, have little to no savings.

I don't hate the people in the religion....only the religion that created them.

"Like you, I have no sympathy for Witnesses who live on the edge and have not prepared financially for their future"

I have a lot of sympathy for the Witnesses. Why because I was one of those delusional people. They are us. Yes, they "haven't got it yet." I feel sorry for them because I was one of them.

When this thing finally moves off the planet a lot things will be be different hopeful, the whole "us and them" thing will be one of them. That people will draw closer together no matter what there religious back round.

Zoom might keep them going....however it is my believe that a big percent of the "brothers" are in the religion not because of the doctrines but because of the fact that their family and friends are in it, "the band of brothers" concept.

So once they are cut off from the association and having the choice of "zooming" their meetings or turning HBO well guess what....

Good news for all the POMIs.....
