holy shit!
i went to the meeting on thursday night to hear my grandson and my daughter give their "talk" on the misery school!.
the very first part on the next meeting that follows the misery school was a 15-20 minute part, with a video of course, on the many ways to donate money to the wt!
Just to be fair, it is the time when a lot if organizations mention ways to contribute. Good old tax planning on the window washer income.
Big difference is you can see the use most charitable institutions have for the money and give to what your causes are. I still buy icecream though.
well that's my family dropped off at the assembly for their mind control charge up.
.
from what my 2 sisters (non witnesses) in ireland said about my mother (pioneer) after her assembly, was that she seemed to more fanatical and that they couldn't change the subject as obsessed with the end etc.. i hope their mind control coercive talks don't have too much impact on my family.
They push the persecution mantra a lot, and worst times ever. Along with last minutes last day
If you knew any oldtimers who came out of the depression and WW2 it was worse then

I always questioned that thing about shaving your whole body as a vow. Eyebrows, and i assume the boys
as jehovah’s witnesses, we were regularly told how awful a college education is.
i’m no longer associated with the religion but i am not so pro university.
it’s not because i think you are better off without a degree.
I fauthfully read the mags. But now there are only 6 a year, 16 pages, wide margins, big print, but no big words
i know of two older couples who have gone overseas to live in recent years.
one could be classified in my opinion as a “need greater” although i think it might also have to do with getting more for their money.
the other i think was seeking out a cheaper and more naturally beautiful environment to live in their retirement years.. what i wondered is if these people are disenchanted and bored with life in the states.
Big joke is need greaters move to a place that needs them because so many move there.
They also almist always abandon a congregation that needs them to start with.
It is all about a cushy retirement

Challenge a professor and you will flunk. There are too many stories about having to agree with the latest political dogma.
here is a screenshot from a youtube video (521 and the circus continues) where anthony morris blasts post-secondary college & university education.
''we will not need doctors or lawyers after armageddon.
so, anthony...what occupations do the society need '' today'' and after armageddon?
Naturally i cant find a reference now. J ran across a bully being a drunk.
Liquid courage equals lessening of inhibitions and common sense and increases combativeness

Will we need distillers? Look up the origins of the word bully. If someone doesnt get it I will fill in the blanks later
i used to work with an elder every day for several years.
one thing that helped me out of the cult was his hypocrisy.
our work was in construction and it would often run us late for meetings.
Leaving a young near woman ak8ne is even worse
the phrase “pray now, pay later” appeared in a headline of the philadelphia “inquirer” in reporting on a church experiment due to go into effect shortly.
a group of ten u.s. religions, including some major lutheran, episcopal, methodist and baptist denominations, have decided to try church collections by credit card.w75 11/1 p. 651 - the watchtower—1975.
WT pay 3ŮŞ? Surely they have an angle.
As for the rest, a debit is a usual way to handle money now. The spiritual benefit is as great or greater in churches. There is an argument that the small local outfit needs support for ehatever community good they do. My donations go locally only to support what my wife receives.
