Does Today’s Comedy Offend You?

there was a time we could laugh about mindless silly things.

someone using an ethnic accent, making fun of their own race, making fun of someone’s intelligent, etc.

we could laugh without feeling constantly offended , upset or disturbed.

Yes. Little is funny, most if is mean spirited. Examples: Carlin, I didnt like his vulgar speech, but could appreciate the dirty word routine, the god and money remarks

Red Skelton: super patriot, failed to recognize that at even good government can err

Colbert: went so left he is not worth watching, no w of the laughing at ourselves anymore

Anyone have someone move in and take over the congergation?

by rickroll in

i have been in two congregations where someone moved in from the big city and took over with the attitude of the northerners when they go south, i come from where they do it right.

like bulls in china shops they remove people and do the house cleaning like the political org cult it is.

Here the only time new elders came in they were assigned, and they were decent men. Unfortunately they died young.

I knew 2 city slickers who moved south and took over, from what I know of them they were not bullies though.

There was an assembly experience where a family moved from California to small town Nebraska; they were not lonesome as they brought friends in too, so it became little kalifornia.

That latter experience is not limited to congregations. People flee Calif ( or wherever) bring inflated house money ey which runs local costs up, and then try to impose their attitude ( usually the reasons they left) on the whole community

psychological changes in the vocabulary of the wts.

i have been reading the publications of the wts since i was 6, 60 years now.

we were too poor to have more than one subscription for each magazine so i had to wait until my mother had read it (she let them pile up).

That well paying job....those are the ones with a reliable paid for car and own a home so they can downsize

I know where literature is hidden from times past. It is all outdated, except for the green bible

Question from yesterdays persecution article...

by JW_Rogue in

what are you resolved to do if under ban?.

i wonder how many people were thinking about how that would be a great excuse to leave!

finally, a good out, you were just too afraid of the persecution.

They forgot to mention the money laundering part in Russia. There is no way to speak lucidly with the present doctrines, so there goes casual conversations. A good way to fade: from the past scenarios anyone with health issues would have to miss, then not have information on the next clandestine meeting place and time. Over half of the service group leaders are incompetent so will never be able to perform. I would be able to keep people fed, housed, in contact, but am not spiritually qualified as I do not turn in 10 hours
