I think WT has run off all the sincere, empathetic, reasonable, loving, and thinking persons.

Do You Ever Wonder Where Are They Now?
by minimus ini remember so many witnesses who were pretty liberal minded.
i knew some that were the ones someone would talk to to get a “balanced “ perspective.
they were not hardliners.

Trade union membership
by Panka inhi, i am currently supporting a jw colleague with some work problems and have advised them to join our trade union for official support.
am i right that jehovah 's witnesses can't vote or contribute to political funds, but they can join trade unions?
thanking anyone who can help me understand.

I'm in a union and it has been a great move. My Dad (elder) was a contractor and worked Union men, which most were JW's in good standing. I've talked with some brothers in Unions, and they seldom went to a meeting (Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag and prayer.)
One brother would not sign the paperwork for the Political Action Committee of the Union to take out 3-5 cents (not percent, a nicklel) per hour. I did and didn't think twice, but I wouldn't talk about it because it's no one's business.
Picket lines and strikes are very rare as unions have lost their edge to negotiate. I was asked a few times to distribute flyers for the union because a foreign company was opening an automobile assembly plant and the State Senator didn't want it to go union. The company was from Germany and they actually wanted Union representation as they were familiar with it in their homeland and a few years later, it was unionized. Unions serve their purpose in that they collectively bargain for all members, organize health insurance for their members which the employer will pay, have pension and retirement funds also paid by the employer. The insurance is good and you can work with many companies and your insurance is the same. The union contract that is negotiated with different companies is basic, besides wages, times you get over time, holidays, etc, they have apprenticeship programs, and offer certification and other training.

If Biden wins
by mickbobcat inif biden wins i hope trump starts the trump news network and hires out from fox the good casters.
the people who made fox what it is are starting to get sick of how its turning to the left or dark side.
this would give trump a voice and keep alive real journalism.

Lol, Not My President!
It is rumored: ATT (Dallas Texas) wants to sell CNN. ATT has a lot of debt and think that CNN will further lose value. CNN's rating are low enough now and won't have anything to bitch about.

Understanding a family member that’s A witness
by understandingjehovah ini need some advise or understanding.. my brother became jehovah witness because of his wife.
our dad is dying and over the last two months he’s done some very weird stuff.. my family knows he’s not a real witness because he sells corn liquor and pills, drinks daily, let us have our moms birthday at their house.
he’s also committed adultery, it’s rumored that he molested our cousin when he was younger, done fraud to my dying dad, lied about being our dads poa for greed only to find out he’s not, lied to the family about his estranged daughters, called his oldest daughter a b*tch because she doesn’t want anything to do with him, lied on our dads life to her to get her to talk to him, he has the name nympho tattooed on his neck, has slandered his immediate family and abandoned two of his daughters for over 20 years to start a family with his new wife.

"Awesome person is the clue. Loving, compassionate, human, logical?"
Yes, WT has been getting rid of men who have those qualities for the last 50 years, just not the "company man" that they are looking for. They need somebody tough.
I hope Derek has a parachute of some sort or marketable skills.

Watching the current election results is like watching an Ocean’s Eleven Hollywood movie for three hours to find out the real theft that happened was before the movie ever started. The Democrats have had four years to plan and to cut deals with the players. Why else could Biden hide in his basement until the last two weeks of campaigning to make a weak show to honking cars? Because Biden’s campaign performance didn’t matter. The absentee election ballots had already been printed and signed by volunteers waiting to be delivered to the polls in the middle of the night.

James Clyburn is already saying that if Biden loses, it's due to voter suppression. Democrats are the most aggressive hateful victims I've ever seen. Always the victim.

Fifty years ago, when I was a child, I got the flu. I remember to this day how bad I felt. That flu was a hundred times greater than any flu I had since. My current doctor insists that I get a flu shot each year. Men at work say I'm stupid and that it's a conspiracy. I believe you build up an immunity.
I believe that the over all cost of Covid should be considered. Who is qualified to set the priorities as we have seen politics enter the arena I don't know.
Drug abuse overdoses, divorces, murders, alcoholism, depression, etc need to be considered as the ramifications of a full shut down. European countries have done the complete shut down, and the Covid cases are returning. What I interpret locally in the USA populous are saying that life should go back to 75 to 80% normal. Take the safeguards of social distancing, wearing a mask, wash your hands, don't touch your face, etc.
I'm not sold on what a mask can do. However, What I will commit to is that any time you wear any personal protective equipment (PPP) your awareness is heightened as to danger existing. So, overall, I think wearing a mask and having to remember to wear a mask is good.
