I would hope, although I know it will never happen, that every doctor-lawyer-engineer, anyone with an education above the minimum required by law whose skills are demanded free of charge by WT sees this and refuses to give their services or the money received from secular employment for those "useless" services to WT. An effective boycott of WT.

Do KHs lock their doors when meeting starts now?
by NikL inmy still in wife informed me this morning that she must be on time to the meeting as they are locking the door when it starts now.. i said that's crazy.
she said it's because of the times we are living in.. we live in a rural area and crime isn't terrible though it's worse than it used to be.. i told her if that's the way it is then why bother leaving the house at all?.
she said they are just trying to be safe.. is this a thing now?

I am not comfortable being locked in a building.
As commented on in another thread about this subject...no one is locked IN, late-comers are locked OUT, unless they are "approved" by whomever is "guarding" the door. It makes some sense I guess in more urban areas, and maybe even in some rural areas. In a small rural town of only a few thousand close to my location a woman teacher went out for her normal Saturday morning jog and disappeared, only to have her body found in a shallow grave nearly two hundred miles (U.S.) away with forensic evidence of gang rape, and death by multiple stab wounds. The increasing criminal element coupled with the increasing laziness of law-"enforcement" is one reason I legally carry concealed now. FedUp ain't going down without a fight!

Plagiarized song?
by cookiemaster inhey guys, so, i went to the hall today with my parents (they needed a ride) and there was this song that i wasn't familiar with.
must be a new song or i might be simply ignorant of jw songs (i hate them).
to my surprise i actually liked this song.

Another one I noticed was song 59 in the new book. It is nearly a word for word copy of an older spiritual written on February 4, l874 by Frances Ridley Havergal. The music is different but that is really the only material change.

DECEMBER 2018 WATCHTOWER STUDY ARTICLE...Many loyal Christians have remained with an unbelieving mate under very trying circumstances.
by RULES & REGULATIONS indecember 2018 study article :.
honor “what god has yoked together”.
17 admittedly, there have been instances where an “unbelieving husband” seems to prove that he is not “agreeable to staying with her.” he might be extremely physically abusive, even to the point that she feels that her health or life is in danger.

Looking back, it seems to me like the only thing that would get the WTS to adjust the rules about this kind of thing is somebody dying, and even then...
This was my comment on another thread about this: Of course they trotted out the (in my words) "even in the case of extreme cruelty, and the possibility of damage to health or life you should remain with the abusive spouse" bulls--t. Who knows, the abused spouse just MIGHT convince the abuser to become a JDubya by letting him thump her around and walk on her like a doormat, and then he can hide it even better as a "christian" husband. And everyone KNOWS that if he ruins her health she will be magically healed in "paradise" and if he kills her she can be held up as a shining example of JDubya wifely submission, and be assured of being resurrected. That garbage really pisses FedUp off. Excuse me while I puke!

PC re-writers of history will do their best to erase, or at the very least "debunk" the events on the deck of the Forestall when we "wet started" his fighter jet, the times his father bailed him out for actions that would have gotten any other Navy man drummed out of the military, and the propaganda videos he made for the North Vietnamese during a time of war, or the disgraceful way he treated his first wife after her horrible accident. Those things were fact then, now not so much thanks to those who need to "clean up" history for their own reasons.
Just as I will NEVER have an iota of respect for Hanoi Jane, I will NEVER believe mccain to be anything other than a greedy, self-centered, narcissistic, petty, vindictive traitor to the country he was granted to live in.
Now let the leftist bashing and thumbs down begin.

Not to give away my age or anything, but it was exactly the same in the 80s.
As it was in the late 60's and early 70's.
