It may have been the most printed, but certainly not most read. Every one of us had stacks that went right to trash because they were not placed. Now they have way fewer public editions, most of the " insider" edition is electronic. I ffc I make a bobble and delete the wrong thing I suddenly have " circulated" two or more copies. Include more than one computer/ phone too

It Looks Like Trump’s Trial In The Senate Will Take Longer Than Was Expected

it looks like more “witnesses “ will be brought in, making this trial who knows how long?.

Defence witnesses will damage the dems IF the mainstream media actually reports the testimony. So far I have seen little or no neutral reporting. The streaming ended with the presentation of the articles and tv went to regular schedules. The prosecution witness should have been already interviewed instead of now looking for more.
People confuse impeachment (accusation) with conviction.
There is irony in Congress investigating corruption

Not invited to congregation “get togethers”. They finally said it

1. jw
2. friends
we don’t get many invitations to congregational social gatherings.

we don’t attend midweek meetings and miss about 1/3 of sunday meetings.

we go in service at least once a month.

Can the court force association? This is a slippery slope because then they can dictate all our lives.
As for the rest, he will be shunned as the troublemaker, get no parts, or be called on. It may cause a few to think but will not change things for the rank and file.
My bet is he walks away after having made his point

racism

having been raised as a jw, racism was something that was never promoted.

i now have a 9 year old that has been visiting her biological grandmother and my ex-wife.

it is my child because i adopted her.

Extended family should ABSOLUTELY accept and love members. Not that that can be enforced.
If the behavior is bad protect the child. It is no different than saying stupid, fat, ugly, smelly. The worst is rejecting someone because they do not carry your genes

Another stay in talk
by road to nowhere in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
we got a local talk.

keep away from outside influences, and marginal witnesses(me?).

keep up prayer, study, all that.

The talk at my hall i dont think mentioned work functions, but it is hard to pay full attention. There are some kids who got into trouble according to rumor from an elders wife. Maybe announcements will follow. They did not mention any realistic way to deal with the lack of marriage partners, just pray and watch a video.
I am a marginal witness: low hours, watch violent r movies, do not want to reach out. I openly scoff at the go bag scenario saying we will actually be as well off or better relying on neighbors and " worldly" resources.

Do You Believe In Polls?
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
when you hear that the polls say.... do you really believe it??.

i think polls can be and often are skewered.

i don’t trust them..

I seldom participate so that skews the results. If you look at the wording the questions are leading to the conclusion they want; usually yes or no.
Polls often are used to gauge the populace so lies can be tailored to lull the masses.

More information please. We do not know the races involved, nor the comments. Are they about racial traits or cultural preferences; or derogatory things?

i'm not sure who wrote the following article, but it bears repeating: (please take the credit if it was you.).

solid proof for 1914.

"as evidence of their falsehoods, look at the timing for armageddon.

You can prove it with pyramidology. No need to obfuscate with 0 year; that fits with the century and decade debate
