When I think about all that money that the central banks are creating lately that make make me a little nervous too....but nothing is to happen. Remember, the Borg has been in catastrophe mode forever and ever.

Go Bag and Catastrophes
by StephaneLaliberte ini live with my parents in law and yesterday, my mother in-law was very nervous about an email she got from the brothers in her congregation.
it was asking if she would be able to receive people over at our house should there be a catastrophe.
so, she asked me if i would agree with this.

What Is Truth?
by minimus injust because you believe something as truth, it doesn’t make it truth.
religious leaders may be admired and believed but they could be dead wrong.
politicians can spout out “facts” that support their truth yet once further evidence comes through these facts are questionable.

Ohhhh...it's just the media that seems more receptive now to the UFO thing....not long ago was so fringe and lunatic.
By the way I always thought that ET life could be so different...maybe we could not even detect it.
Yea, smiddy3 some topics here become ghostlike really fast...

I'll bet that Awake is gonna be digital edition only...such a lovable provision....I think Watchtower too....just imaging simplification and huge $ savings!

The Palestinian-Israeli conflict needs a strong peacekeeping force, like the one, remember in Kosovo, supported by the UN Security Council and Nato. When it started had like 40 k troops and it worked. Otherwise the conflict is gonna drag more or less forever.

May JW Broaadcast - so bad, "it's not even wrong"
by FFGhost indon't know how many of y'all still watch it.. this month's topic is "the king of the north" - cook goes into monotonous detail over the jw interpretation about rome, germany, ussr, russia, etc.. leaving aside for other commentators the emotionally manipulative videos of jws in russian holding cells, the tearjerker interviews, the god-awful stiffness of cook (i suspect he has never genuinely smiled, much less laughed, in his 60+ years), just thought i'd comment on one topic.. the centerpiece of the program is a "morning worship" monologue from splane.
let's again just leave to the side the dude's pomposity, smugness, and inflated sense of his own genius, and think about this part of his monologue.. he was tracing the history of the "king of the north" and talked about how "britain" (not england, not the united kingdom, not great britain, but "britain" - no idea why they have that fixation - anyway...) became the kotn in the 19th century.. paraphrasing his comments: "britain would not have become kotn if france had its way.
france was much wealthier and more powerful, but at the battle of waterloo, britain defeated france.

I'll bet is gonna end in something like this: "Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most Highest God received 10 percent from Abraham....we are not under that, but what a lovable example for Christians. It is not at least that we should follow that example?
If everything is gonna be electronic they could encourage the 'happy donor" at least to be at 10 percent.

Drastic Upcoming Changes? (accelerated by the pandemic)
by JWTom ingood to see you again!
much discussion now about the fallout that is coming due to impacts of the pandemic combined with the long-term downward spiral of jw.org.
i am active as a pimo and my wife is pimi....much of our personal conversation and conversation with others in jw land focuses on how things will play out for jw.org in the next 12-24 months.

The only thing that is for sure is that change is coming.
I'll go for just making a semi monthly or monthly meeting mega church style using the Assembly Halls, KH are gonna be sold, big bucks over there. That way they could give a little rest to the RF and make them more mainstream.
Declared that preaching served its purpose, just keep special campaigns like three times a year. No more reporting time because it ' drain resources'.
And, yes, you're allowed to talk to a disfellonwship person, that is going to be a 'biblical' personal decision.
