Pioneers privilige
by justice34 inorganization and congregation seems to give so much attention to the pioneers and the hours.
encouraging the members to get even the 30h at the month of c/o visit even if they don't complete the minimum of the hours.
why do they give so much praise and attention to pioneers?

If you make someone think they are special, make them think they are superior to others, even though you treat them like festering pig pus, most of them won't notice.
By making pioneers feel "special" about themselves, and superior to "plain old publishers", they won't notice that they are doing utterly meaningless wheel-spinning drudgery. Instead they'll think "Well, the work is pointless and dull, but at least I'm better off than that poor slop who's only a publisher".
It's nothing new or unique to JWs. The Jim Crow laws were not so much pure racism as they were an economic lever against poor rural whites. "We'll pay them a pittance to work in our textile mills and won't let them unionize, but so long as they think they're better off than those g-d n*****s, they won't notice."

AZ was perhaps called prematurely, but it looks to be squarely for Biden now:
Arizona election results (Estimated >99% in)
Biden 1,469,341 50.5% (+2.4)
Trump 1,400,951 48.1%
Biden leads with 69kFox News has Biden with 264 electoral votes:
https://www.foxnews.com/elections/2020/general-results
Nevada will release its results sometime soon - that would be the 6 EV needed to bush Biden to 270.
It would be....something....if Fox were the first major outlet to call the election for Biden.
It appears more and more likely that Biden will win both PA and GA as well, which would push him over 300.

Wisconsin now final:
BREAKING: Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator says “All of the ballots have been counted.” Joe Biden has won Wisconsin by 20,697 votes.
Once again for those who just log onto the last page:
If Biden maintains his lead in MI and NV, he has 270. NC, GA, and PA don't even matter.

Biden leading in NV, MI, WI, where remaining uncounted votes are likely to be in Biden's favor.
(See the problem with Trump's "stop all counting right now" proclamations?)
With those 3, that would be 270 EV - wouldn't even need NC, PA, GA.
Get used to saying it - President-elect Biden.

Biden wins AZ, called by multiple outlets.
That opens up more paths to victory, can do so even without winning PA.

“The Watchtower does not claim to be inspired in its utterances, nor is it dogmatic.”
But woe unto you if you actually point out an instance where they were fallible, or made an error.
I.e., "we are fallible, but if anyone points out an actual example, he is an agent of Satan and deserves eternal destruction."
Nice work if you can get it.

2021 Regional Convention (will be prerecorded again)
by Designer Stubble in**announcement october 28, 2020 for congregations** .
[read after the watchtower study the week of october 26, 2020.\] 2021 regional convention: many have expressed great appreciation for the special arrangement to benefit from the 2020 regional convention during this coronavirus pandemic.
because of the uncertainty of holding large gatherings in 2021 and the evidence of jehovah’s blessing on this year’s convention program, the governing body recently approved the following arrangements for the 2021 regional convention program.

Hoagies!
Sandwiches of the gods.
That is, if the gods like semi-moldy bologna, green slime that a few half-lives ago approximated lettuce, and bread that was baked during the Hoover administration.

Polls Vs. Crowds
by minimus inwhen i see polls suggesting trump has a 95% chance to lose the presidency, according to drudge report, which is now totally liberal, and i see the huge crowds of trump supporters as opposed to the 20 people showing up for biden rallies, i have to wonder what i should believe.
do i believe my lying eyes or am i totally messed up?.

I always love those maps like the ones above, as if they show anything even remotely relevant to anything - those cornfields and prairies are quite red, aren't they?
Population is not perfectly evenly distributed geographically.
If you show results based on where actual people live, it's a wee bit different.
