Yes, I've known many who were only in it for the "glory". What they don't seem to realize is that the top turd on the shit pile is still only a piece of shit!

Have you ever known elders who were more into being and elder than really being a believer?
by phoenixrising ini have known many elders who were much more into the idea of being an elder and getting all the old ladies to tell them what wonderful talks they give and the power then really being a believer.
i had one elder tell me that when he became an elder he was on top dog on top of the heap.
i knew some who were really all about the religion and following the cult.

Comment on BBC News web site
by BoogerMan in"i've just been told by a nurse just off shift that 6 wards were put aside for cv19 at ninewells hospital in dundee and that only one is being used.
also that the virus is being put as cause of death on almost every death...including one male patient who died of cancer who tested positive but had no effects.
so bear that in mind, and this is genuinely what i've been told what is going on.".

An interesting interview. Not saying I support, or do not support what this doctor claims. My personal opinion though is that while the COVID-19 is a serious, and likely very contagious virus, and we must take reasonable precautions to safeguard our own health, it has been politicized by those who would use it to promote the curtailing of individuals rights a free citizens. Once politicians have tasted the power of using fear and panic to control the population while claiming it is for the good of society they will not willingly give it up.

What Do You Think Of Fining People For Not Wearing A Mask?
by minimus insome towns in massachusetts are fining people 1000 dollars for not wearing a mask 😷 outdoors.
starting wednesday, the governor mandates everyone from 2 years of age up, must wear a mask or get a 300 dollar fine!.
of course some governors are recommending that you rat out anyone that doesn’t follow their orders.. i don’t like it!👎🏿.

A medical standard, properly fitted mask?
But the U.S. CDC says, "Cloth face coverings fashioned from household items or made at home
from common materials at low cost can be used."The CDC would not ever make a mistake would they?

And who ever said that WT does not provide humanitarian aid to each other?
"...congregation or circuit funds should no longer be used to provide humanitarian assistance to affected families."
WTB&T$ did!

Just hearing at this very minute some idiot elder yapping about masks. His words, "That instruction to always wear masks and gloves if we are outside came from Jehovah! And was transmitted to us from "The Slave"! We have to listen and obey them! If we don't we are showing disrespect for Jesus "Slave" and for the love of the Governing Body" who cares for us.
That B.S. statement alone is enough to make me refuse to wear any damned mask or gloves, if there had been any question before.

athiests face reality
I am not an atheist, but having both parents die in the last three years I know, without a doubt, there is nothing else. No heaven, no hell; just a 3'X3'X6' hole in the ground.
I admit I think there is a God, but God doesn't care about this speck of a planet we call earth, and he cares even less about us as puny humans. That's why we must make the most of this life. It's all there is!

The old time JW's that I knew, if they were still alive, would be blown away by how much the doctrinal based lines have been blurred.
I've commented before about what my mother said towards the end of her life before the dementia took over. She was baptized in 1942, and said shortly before she died, "If Jehovah's Witnesses were THEN what they have become NOW, I would NEVER have been baptized as one!"

by wannabefree inmy wife is getting regular emails from the cobe ... you know we have the truth, the world is in the dark, we're special, hang in there, read this encouraging watchtower ... blah blah blah ... just wondering if these are coordinated from org.. recent mass email example .... " .... an excellent watchtower article in the july 2020. it is entitled “be convinced that you have the truth”.
the scripture is from 2 tim 3:14. we are to continue in the things we have learned and be persuaded to believe.
reflect for a moment what appealed to you about the truth which drew you to jehovah.

Not sure who would vote down the facts presented by "boots on the ground" doctors with the credentials to address COVID-19 in an educated way. But if you are THAT afraid, please, by all means STAY IN YOUR HOME AND DON'T COME OUT! Let the rest of us live our lives as free, educated, self-responsible people. And NO I am not saying COVID-19 is not contagious. It is NOT though serious enough to willingly throw away all our rights as live as slaves of well paid politicians and their useful tools in the media or intellectual fields.
