  Scary Stuff

  today's high school students in the usa:.

  less than 1/2 of them cannot identify the century when our civil war happened.. one in four thought columbus discovered america sometime after 1750.. one in three cannot name one right enumerated in the bill of rights.. three out of four cannot name the first us president.. two out of three do not know the length of term of a member of the house of representatives.. half cannot find britain on a map.. one out of four cannot find america on a map.. when my oldest daughter, who is now a physician was in 9th grade in this once-great state of california, i asked her about the three branches of our federal government.

  she was clueless and told me she would take civics in her junior year in high school.

  heh, publishers..... was talking with my mother the other day.

  in the 17 years i've been out, my old congregation's publishers have drastically dropped.

  when i was going , we were in the high 80s for publishers.

  I'm surprised that elder hasn't been removed...

  Half the publishers means half the money which is unacceptable performance in any corporation.

  I can only assume that contibutions have somehow increased (unless the bean counter in the Manitoba bethel branch is sleeping on the job)

  Less than one third (1/3) of Jehovah's Witnesses will survive Armageddon

  by Calebs Airplane in

  in the early 80's when i was just a teen, i was out in field circus one day when i overheard our cobe (called president at the time?

  ) telling another elder that, if armageddon were to come tomorrow, less than 1/3 of the congregation would survive.

  this was actually in a bakery as we were just finishing up and they didn't even notice me standing in line as they were too busy drooling over the pastries and talking trash about a ministerial servant who decided not to go to field circus that day for whatever reason.

  Incredible how the Governing Body compares themselves to Moses, thereby demanding loyalty.

  Ask them this question:

  Are you genuinely interested in me? ... Or are you just mechanically going through your "pending items" checklist in preparation for the CO visit?

  2. friends

  i am definitely not selling this product, but i just saw an advertisement for this and thought it is the perfect watch for the exjw who is trying to really just enjoy life and not try to have every second of everyday plotted out.. https://www.slow-watches.com/.

  for instance my typical monday was:.

  5:30 - 6:00 read text with wife and "meditate" on it.
