I’ve always found the memorial to just be creepy as hell even when I was in. For the life of me, I don’t know why they invite people to it. It was really nothing more than an identity marker. Look at us we do everything different.
Bloody stupid
curious.
what was your local memorial attendance like tonight?

Bloody stupid
usa politicians in charge of the economy for the past 50 years were too stupid to understand how the economy works.
this just proves my theory, that an education on the top tier universities just sucks and means nothing in the real world, unless its in the stem education.
for 50 years usa had zero tariffs on other countries.

i’m hoping the memorial talk will be different.
change the talk!
I always get a kick out of the massive theological holes in the memorial talks. Every talk requires this very particular interruption of the book of Revelation while they try and talk around the fact they basically worship eight men in Brooklyn New York.
Once you realize the book of Revelation is most likely a giant FU by first century Jews to the Roman Empire and only made it in the canonization of the bible for trinity references and has been basically considered nothing but horseshit up till about 75 years ago, it all seems rather silly.

looks like panda tower has overtaken cedars with 116mil followers.
is he the top jw youtuber?.
There is a youtuber named "whistlindiesel" with 9.3 million followers who is a former JW. He does some pretty crazy shit. Check him out.
He actually does some videos of talking about being disfellowed. Pretty sad stuff.
new german chancellor merz has won the election.
trump congratulated his victory but the response was not what trump expected.
merz condemned america, saying that america seemed to be aligning with russia.. he also expressed doubts about nato’s future.. he is now advocating that germany must gain independence from usa.
All Trumps peace plan is going to do is have every nation that borders Russia seeking nuclear weapons. Baltic states, Georgia, Central Asian former Soviet republics, even Poland.
Oh boy, sandbagging NATO sure made the world a safer place.
i have been away from the jw cult for many years.
i don't have any family i talk to that are in it.
so i don't know if the jws as a whole are seeing the cult fall apart or if they or the majority of them are head in the sand la la la the end is neigh.
I didn't think the religion would make it past Generation X ( my generation ) , then the pandemic and social media happened and you realize reality is now subjective as long as it makes you feel special. My hall ( which I don't attend ) has 5 times more people over 65 than under 20, so that is a good sign, but there will always be lonely people.
where did this phrase 'in the truth' come from?.
it's been around as long as i can remember.
is it from the time they were promoting 'the truth shall make you free' book back in 1943?
I seem to find social media flooded with anti-VAX and conspiracy theorist who called themselves the truth. They’re always posting these incredibly vague memes with references to mistrust, and the such. It doesn’t seem to have any real specific grievance, or scientific measurable that they take exception too.
I often wonder if it’s my JW upbringing that makes me dislike this stuff and I find myself rather surprised and disappointed that more people don’t feel like me.
elon was looking at the way they audit within the government agencies.
he found there are no links to payments made.
250 million payment………..to………………..consultant……..name ………..unknown.
I am not an accountant, but I find it pretty hard to believe that a country that has an annual federal budget of $7 trillion suddenly has no idea where 4.6 trillion of it went. It seems to me that it may have been lent out and it’s more accounted for in the backend..
A whole bunch more detail would be nice to know here. Did this happen over a single year or a decade or 30 years?

It is strange how the number is basically the same number as Trump's proposed tax cut that mainly helps the top 10%.
4.5 Trillion in missing money, 4.5 Trillion in a massive tax cut.
It is almost like this story is total and complete bullshit
