  I remember that savings deposit thing. 10000 went to the society and was supposed to be available for emergencies in the congregation. When seats were needed they took in pledges I wanted to raise my hand and ask what happened to that 10000

  I think the money came from a bro who inherited a large amount. As I remember right after the inheritance there was 20000 quietly showed up. The elders sent 10000 right away as a donation, then the deposit thing came along. I am sure as I can be without questioning anyone that the donation was meant as a cushion for a poor congregation that was always having the electricity shut off

  DT is having a speech tomorrow. Probably a stance on further restrictions. That said, the country will not address any if the issues; health, immigration, wages, ( jobs that are not burger flippers) ,crime, drugs, violence

  The 200 years ago argument doesnt hold; look at the difference in news now compared to a broadsheet or the ability to communicate now vs. Then

  Remember the 2nd was written to allow citizens to have state of art notary weapons, then a musket, now the equivalent to what the military has would be a m16, full auto. this is already not allowed.

  There are thousands of crimes on the books now, with punishment not proportional nor swift

  Trump handed the immigrant ball to Congress where it belonged all the time. They dropped it. As for the previous president he is more correctly Arab/American and he stirred lots up

  You can blame some if this on the PC business where no one can say unapproved things

  I just came back from Walmart and the store was full of Spanish speakers buying school stuff. The kids do not speak English either. There are families with kids 4, 3, 2 ,1 plus the school ages. Who can afford this on "jobs Americans won't do"?

  Before you all call racist be aware my best neighbor is a mexico mexican, his kids speak better English than a lot of rednecks, he keeps his home up. He does not fly a foreign flag or make a fuss on any holidays. I grew up with best friends who were not pale pink like myself. I am trying to remember my Spanish, he helps me at times

  Why doesn’t the Governing Body hold debates to asses the qualifications of a new GB member?

  by I believe in overlapping in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the members have no idea what qualifies someone has to be a member of the governing body.

  members know absolutely nothing about new members of the governing body who are appointed.

  kenneth cook was the last appointed governing body member in 2018..

  Surely they assess the candidates. Big question is how do you apply? Sitting at your desk and suddenly decide you are annointed, but how do you draw attention?

  Weird Jehovah’s Witnesses

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is it my imagination or are most witnesses weird, odd, and “different “?

  it seems every congregation has a couple of weirdo elders, pioneers and ministerial servants.

  and then you see those witnesses who attend meetings but most people seldom associate with them because... they are eccentric..

  JW Malaise

  by Half banana in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  malaise according to the cambridge dictionary:.

  a general feeling of being ill or having no energy, or an uncomfortable feeling that something is wrong, especially with society, and that you cannot change the situation.

  where the dictionary says society, read "the society"........... is there a malaise in the jw world?

  They can call it a bible study but it is still a book study. Same for " study the bible by use of the watchtower " on Sunday

  so the tms....does anyone think it might ever go away?

  possibly being replaced by a borg streaming presentation that's required viewing from home?

  it seems to me that with the congregation merging and sell-off that's going on, there are going to be 4 maybe 5 congregations sharing some khs.

  That twice monthly talk part is still for up and coming brothers. There is little leeway for thinking. I used to like doing the talks you really had to think about, note used to. One of my " moments" was being given talk on the generation of 1914 , after the new light but before they discarded the make sure book as the source of all truth. I didnt show or call
