The World Today
by peacefulpete ini've been meaning to share some recent experiences that defy the usual tropes about the 'world gone to hell' or 'people now days".. as some of you may remember i was seriously ill for a while and had to close my business and shop.
now, as it seems i have beaten it, i put up a sign again advertising that in a limited way i'm back.. what amazes me is how many times over the past 2 years customers and even competition have written and called to express their concern and best wishes.
just last week i had a personal visit of someone who i thought of as a rival, come in and shake my hand sincerely happy to see me up and around.

"...like bees that were molested" is one example of the cringe that I felt when singing some of the songs. If you knew the composer of these songs, you would understand why they were so odd. Some of us felt that we needed some professional song writers (non-JWs) who could provide the framework for a polished, motivating music program. -

2024 Annual Meeting Doctrinal Change
by Listener ina change to their doctrine came from jackson.
this isn't a transcript of his whole speech but i thought i would try and get some of his main speech in writing.. at around 1hr26 minutes he starts talking about some dangerous thinking in feeling there is some wiggle room in regards to the schedule for the gt.
but you see, we need to be careful about what we are thinking about the number of anointed ones left on earth.

Blondie - WTC has been dancing around the marriage of the lamb for decades and they still don't seem to want to commit. Your comment was spot on, and it reveals that WTC probably does not think that the end is near, if they think it is coming at all.

Lowering the age for Bethel admittance and Evangelizers school is a clear sign that fewer young people are applying. They are trying to get the labor they need BEFORE that labor gets disenchanted and fades.

Where is Tony?
by Athanasius inon february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.
a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.
in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

I saw that Franklin Graham and others are busy offering assistance to ALL affected. Maybe they can help some of the JWs in Asheville who need help.

FTM - Even though I agree with much of what you have written, your anger is unmistakable. Perhaps some introspection might help you refocus? Just a suggestion...

Free TheMasons - I brought up the Homestead exemption because it is a common provision for homeowners in all the counties of NC. It is almost never itemized in the tax bill however. The amount of tax for a house with that value is very low - lower than other homes in the area that are rented (rental homes do not qualify for homestead exemption).
WTC is smart enough to know that falsely claiming Homestead Exemption when the owner is not living on the premises, results in a steep fine.
Along with the photo of his car and the report by one of the posters who saw him in the driveway indicates that he does indeed live at that address. This seems hard for you to believe for some reason - I don't know why. He has to reside somewhere.

Oh my, the "letter" is over 200 pages long. Seriously, if you want to make an impression, cite the scriptural support - don't quote it. Get to the point and keep it concise. We all know that WTC never reads dissent anyway, but most of us won't read something this long. I am sorry to be blunt.

Another way you are being spied upon
by careful infrom jeremy hsu, technology writer for new scientist magazine.. smart tvs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second.
smart tvs from samsung and lg take screenshots of what you are watching even when you are using them to display images from a connected laptop or video game console.

As Slim said, phones listen and then ads that draw upon key words are used to target the user. I have noticed this happening many times. I do think that it is an invasion of privacy.
