"is that a children's song?
D0 Y0U KN0W that the most rapid means of communlca. tion in· 1799' the beginning of"the time of the end,". was on horse- back, while now telephones and telegraphs unite cities, nations and continents?
Oh hoho! The time of the end way back when.
I thought the time of the end began in 1874 or whatever. Did it really say 1799 or is that an OCR fuckup mistake?

sarah-jane cunningham knew that her facebook posts about the election were rubbing her family the wrong way, but she didn’t realize the posts would get her uninvited from thanksgiving dinner.. the 19-year-old said her mother called a week before thanksgiving and confronted her about the facebook posts regarding president-elect donald trump.. “she asked me if i was going to be disrespectful to my family, and i told her that it could work either way, cunningham said.
"if the things i am saying are disrespectful to trump supporters, the things they are saying are also disrespectful to me.”.
The subject line is misleading. Regardless, yes, this was apparently an uncomfortable Thanksgiving. Hence the #soanyway hashtag on social media.
And yes, I'm sure there were more than a few announcements made afterwards or more to come.
Mail in ballots put a damper on that though.

More like this.
had our midweek meeting last night.
they had a resolution to send an extra (i wanna say $1100 but i only remember it was at least $1000) per month to forward the kingdom preaching work etc.. you know how they work in the kh...no one votes against anything.
i abstained as i almost have always done.
If those said single sisters did favors for everybody in the hall, including HIM, he BETTER fix their car for free. Everybody in the God Damned Kingdom Hall probably targeted these single sisters to do favors - and nobody ever gave a rats ass about the welfare of the women they were targeting!!!
Fair point. The sisters give of their time and even their money to help out wherever they can. My family certainly benefited from the sisters helping my mom while my dad was on his deathbed, and I benefited when I got probably the cheapest wedding I could have hoped for without just going to court. None of that came without a cost to someone, large or small.

You go, poopie...
I always imagine your posts as if a sock puppet is reading them.

Every time I see a video like this now, I ask myself what the actors in it will think of it in 10 or 20 years.
This one especially.
thanksgiving is really just a nice, traditional, family-oriented day set aside on a national level.
no babylon the great.
give me a break with the holier than thou, "we don't celebrate thanksgiving.
You know what's funny? I can think of a lot of things that have "pagan origins" or "nationalistic origins". Seriously, they've done a lot.
I can't think of anything that really has JW origins.... Can you?
hi guys.. "brother" jose is quite possibly the most sinister speaker i've ever seen or heard.
and i've seen/head a lot of cults in my time.. he's over the top with his voice tone and gestures.
i see a future governing body member in the making here:.
With that voice he could make a lot of money as a gay phone sex operator, though.
I'll stick with Dr. Shaym if I want a sexy voice.

I also know a JW that has a auto repair shop. He has had to fix more then one pioneer or single sisters car for free because they didn't have any money to pay for the needed repairs. Another JW family had him repair thier car but when it came time to pay they delayed because they had spent the money to send the wife to Hawaii so she could be at the regional convention with her family. They finally paid but it took awhile.
Ah, the covetous, freeloading JW economy. Giving a freebie would work if the group is overall well educated and employed. Having a reputation for giving freebies to a group of underemployed and undereducated leeches who've come to expect it will put you in bankruptcy.
