i get the impression that many of those serving where 'the need is greater' have had to return to their home countries due to the current covid pandemic.. just over a year back the society was pushing people to go to places like india; not the easiest places to get to grips with at the best of times.
now i see that the covid pandemic is pretty much out of control in india.
it seems to me that 'needs greaters' were the watchtowers way of getting missionaries on the cheap.
What Slim said ..
and they are looking more for good actors for their up and coming video presentations.
I wouldn't be surprised if they encouraged Gilead brothers and sisters to take acting lessens.
The WTS/JWS has a working business model in action and it has been notably revised in recent years $$$
I wonder if they will have the JWorg. video presentation Academy awards every year ?
Stay tuned folks
anyone following the derek chauvin trial?.
if you are actually following it, not just listening to the media, you will likely realize that there is a huge gap between what is going on in court and what is being reported in the media.. if the trial was fair, i think he should be acquitted.
there is plenty of reasonable doubt about the cause of death (his dealer doesn't want to testify because he could be guilty of 3rd degree murder for selling him a fatal amount of fentanyl) and even doubt over whether the officer even had his knee on the guys neck or did anything counter to what they were meant to do as per policy.. but is it fair?
I would be willing to bet that if Floyd was forced into the back of the squad car, he would have just died there. It was an OD.
He wasn't strung out high when the arrest took place, that can be confirmed by the video, so why do you say he would have OD'd in the back the police car ?
He was cognitively fluent during the arrest from the start.
Someone who is high on fentanyl doesn't act like that.
Nonsensical
Making stuff up as it suits you doesn't present intellectual honesty.

An off the cuff question to this case ...
Did all of the attending cops not know that cutting off a person's breathing capability such a choke hold or knee against the neck could cause an individual to blackout and possibly die ?
The taunting by pedestrians seemed have created a psychological effect to Chauvin to directly oppose what the people were saying, kind of like I'm the law officer in charge here not they.
Overall I fail to see the intent to murder, one can look at the video footage which was presented in court and quickly come to that conclusion but there were other mitigating circumstances that needed to be addressed.
I certainly can see criminal negligence manslaughter in this incident.

was it really necessary for George Floyd to resist arrest and refuse to get in the cop car ?
That goes without saying after the fact.
As I mentioned early Floyd has to bare some responsibility for what happened to him.
The use of deadly force by acting police officers against a individual who is suspect of a crime has to have its limits.
Police officers while on duty have to have the cognitive awareness to be in control of a situation within the bounds of legality during an altercation with an individual, if they cant do that they shouldn't be a police officer.

I wonder was it really necessary for Chauvin to place his knee across Floyd's neck area, I'm sure placing his knee across the top of his shoulders would have worked as well.
I'm sure many police officers are going to take this situation into account when trying to restrain someone on the ground.
If he did that and Floyd still passed out, Chauvin wouldn't be going to jail for the next 10 to 15 years.

Kind of surprised at the verdict particularly when the information came out that Floyd had drugs in his system and existing heart problems.
There is certainly going to be an appeal which in my guess the charges will be lowered a bit..

Floyd died because of the restraining technique the cops performed and his heart condition, along with a certain amount of drugs in his system .
But that still doesn't make an excuse for the cops to not do anything when it was noticed that he went into cardiac arrest.

Plus, they don't really know.
What do you mean the guy is laying face down with no movement whatsoever, obviously blacked out with no perceivable pulse.
What looks bad for all the cops there was they didn't make any attempt revive him once it was realized they guy was clearly out.
however good certain religious principles may or may not be, there seems to be complete insanity that only religion breeds.. a buddhist monk in thailand has apparently chopped off his own head to give himself 'good luck' in the afterlife.. .

Buddhism is acknowledging the only person who can save us is our self.
Correct but mankind needs science and knowledge to help us on a path toward a better living experience.
One can still appreciate the ideology of what Buddhism represents though .

sorry, the article is behind a paywall.
however, here's a copy of it without the photo:.
The people who run the WTS/JWS must not be very smart because when the org. first refused the Aussie redress scheme that hit the media giving the JWS a bad pubic image, then they realized it was going to cost them some cash so they changed their minds.
JWS are supposed to obey government rules and laws anyways so why didn't they say well I guess we should do this brothers ?
