changes coming to canada watchtower where congregations are involved.. i strongly suspect it has to do with the lawsuits and watchtower hiding the loot.. letters coming... wheres wifi bandit??
?.
So we have a shell game in Canada! Let's Play!
Wouldn't that be nice if WT trusted the wrong elder and all those millions were sent by wire to someone else? Let me give you my account number in the Cayman Islands. I'll meet you there later.
You may laugh, but WT has been taken before, just look at the Branch in Greece.
so yesterday was the midweek meeting - the first of the month for december so instead of locals doing the little talk skits we get the on screen shadow puppets.. after each one the ms taking the item asks the congregation for "positive" comments.. part way through i get a text from a pimo brother enduring the show which reads thus (and i quote word for word ...).
"it's like listening to a bunch of people from a mental institution.
".
Do you have to take penicillin for clams?
i've been to the kingdom ministry school (for elders) recently and can report that it is mostly the usual mix of cliches and platitudes.
several letters where basically just read through one line at a time.
one point early on though almost made me laugh out loud.
I'm sure the mail room in Bethel has a cow when a Victoria's Secret or Frederick's "Brochure" comes in the mail. Wink, Wink
Yes, damn those compression stocking ads on the side of my browser.
i recently asking this women out who here has problems with women after being a jw.

Ask her to go ice skating.. You should read a chapter in the young people ask.
your thoughts...how is it that trump can dictate what goes on in other countries?
can anyone from another country come here and tell us what to do...trump is now the president of the world now, uh?.
i'm not really savvy regarding politics but i'm no dummy either...what the heck is going on in the world.... again, any thoughts ?
Trump is only moving the US Embasy. It will employ architect's, engineers, and contractors etc.
had a couple of witnesses stop by yesterday to say the usual "we miss you, missed you at the meeting, just checking in on you, etc.
" i've always liked this guy so we spoke for a few minutes.
my wife said that they could count their time since i am inactive.
While a witness it is best not to talk about field service time, how you count it, when you start, when you stop, etc. I used to love the brothers who at the end of the morning would look at their watch and announce to all how much time we got. Spend all morning long and get back to the hall at 12:45 and they would say, "it looks like we got an hour and a half".
i recently learned of the term "hanlon's razor".. wikipedia defines it as: .
hanlon's razor is an aphorism expressed in various ways including "never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
" it recommends a way of eliminating unlikely explanations for a phenomenon (a philosophical razor).. so could it be said that this applies to the gb / society ?.
Scratchme, you lie about the photo. Was that out of malice or should it be attributed to stupidity?
Why is there so much hatred for DT here?
1300 attendance 11 teenagers baptised (.85 growth) $12,000 expenses.
biggest facepalm moment- teenage pioneer says she pioneers because "the overlapping generation is getting up there in years ,so time is short" as the saying goes "those that don't know history are doomed to repeat it".
very mind numbing day nothing you haven't heard a hundred times before..
Yes, the end is so much closer. All the more reason for you to immediately contribute all you can. With 30% + drop out rate, you need to pioneer to get more contributors.

the one thing that annoys me most about being a jdub is the control watchtower has over everyone.
for a start, there is absolutely no liberty in christ.
there is no freedom to openly express your own thoughts on scripture.
Great point. Look into the windshield, not into the rearview mirror. Make new friends.
hi to all the board, .
i am confused about something that i read on this board.
it was the subject about the building and development of new kingdom halls.
McDonald's has realized that they are not in the hamburger, happy meal, or french fries business. McDonald's is in the real estate business and they make their money from the leasing the property that produces hamburgers, happy meals, and french fries. WTBTS has similarly realized that they are not in the printing business or religious business but in the real estate business of leasing the property to the congregation's tax-free.
