Funeral talk
by dothemath ini was recently present at a witness funeral (by zoom) and the brother did do a nice talk about this sister who passed away.
her and her husband had pioneered for many years, but she succumbed to cancer.. in his closing remarks, of course he talked about the resurrection, and remarked how the husband (still alive) would soon be back together with his wife.. certainly fine thoughts, but imagine if this guy ended up getting remarried?
isn’t that putting a lot of pressure on someone, when it isn’t even mentioned in the bible at all?.

Are any books being placed anymore?
by joey jojo ina recent post by atlantis/ petra was about destroying old books, some of which had been studied and placed over the years.. is witnessing these days only about directing people to jworg, are there books that are placed, or is hq concerned enough about having ever-changing beliefs in print that they avoid it?.

Aw Ezekiel book does not appear to be available on ebay.
If the old literature is being destroyed I guess the price will go up.
Bet you never imagined you could get £30 for this.
Or same book - £52 from this seller. But you can get it delivered by Christmas.

It just seem unreasonable designing an extension with materials that are hard to come by.
But unreasonable is what WT does. One elder in local cong oversaw many construction projects. The brothers gave him a nickname...
(Exodus 5:10) . . .So those who drove the people to work and their officers went out and said to the people: “Here is what Pharaoh has said, ‘I am giving you no more straw.
... his nickname was Pharaoh. They hated working for him.

If someone can't understand what you are saying how can they contradict you?

Smiddy you have put your finger right on it. WT is contradictions that are made to sound like they don't contradict. WT words are mental fog to PREVENT UNDERSTANDING.

Friend Is Worried About My “Mental Health”...lol
by minimus inone of my tennis friends who happens also to be a nurse, told me today that he is concerned about my mental health because i support donald trump.
i believe he got shafted but i also recognize that very little will probably change regarding his being re-elected.
this man voted for the “green” candidate and said he personally agrees with most of trump’s views but he thinks he’s morally corrupt.

When you disagree with WT reps for valid reasons, the GB will put out videos saying that apostates are mentally diseased. Next thing is elders start to express that view. So you can tell what elders have been watching and what they are invested in.
I don't know the facts of this political issue but I do know that when people don't want to agree with you but cannot put together a valid/proved set of facts to establish their point, some turn to ridicule or call you mad. But they have gone right of the topic and suddenly it is all your problem - because you wont agree with them.
Jesus Christ experienced similar.
(Matthew 12:24-27) . . .At hearing this, the Pharisees said: “This fellow does not expel the demons except by means of Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.” 25 Knowing their thoughts, he said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself comes to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. 26 In the same way, if Satan expels Satan, he has become divided against himself; how, then, will his kingdom stand? 27 Moreover, if I expel the demons by means of Beelzebub, by means of whom do your sons expel them? This is why they will be judges of you.
