  The problem with Capitalism!---Billionaires

  by pistolpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  as imperfect and flawed capitalism is, it has worked better than other forms of economic and political systems-so far.

  it’s very simple in “theory.” capitalism is an economic and-or, political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.

  in other words, keep government out of it as much as possible.

  Monopoly laws. I just found out ROKU which is competition for Fire stick uses amazon servers.

  Then look at the tax deals big companies get from cities to add $12 hour no benefit jobs.

  How much do Elders actually get along with each other?

  by Davros in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was reading in the shepherding book that elders should “ cul­tivate and maintain friendships with one another.”, and thought to myself “bulls$it!” i remember that most of the elders in my old congregation were nothing but nasty asses.

  i know it may vary from congregation to congregation, but do elders generally get along with each other behind closed doors in elders meetings?

  or, are they often in conflict with each other?

  The other side of rotation was when the embicile was made PO, or secretary.

  Anyway, armageddon came in 1975 so there was no more time.

  I have seen elder cliques, work, vacation, eat out together. That was the ones who told me to not even think of reaching out, they didn't need me. I gladly complied. Later a different bunch you could overhear snide remarks about other elders, pioneers, and webelos.

  Back when there was a fierce competition for city servant. I half expected campaign buttons. Pompous ass millionaire won. He did my wife dirt as she was from the wrong side of the tracks. Never let her know when they gutted the keepsakes from her dearest old friend. Instead of giving her anything they took it all; threw pictures out to get a nice frame. All we have is memories.

  some democrat voters are nuts.

  either that, or they're just bitter.. here's a video about zach braff and chris evans, two actors who want lists of 'trump enablers', apparently.. what the hell is wrong with these people?

  their man, biden, won the election and they just can't let it go that some people voted trump.

  There was a man in boston,

  who bought himself an Austin.

  There was room for for his ***

  But his ***** hung out

  And he lost one

  by Pallbearer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  russia's reason for banning jehovah's witnesses is said to be due to extremism.

  but what exactly does that mean, or refer to?

  specifically, what practice (or practices) of jehovah's witnesses does russia consider to be extreme?

  Not Russian orthodox is the biggest. The being us based, the non participation in flag, military, blood would play into it. And shunning. Was there miney laundering?

  As noted, Mormons, scientologists and others also made the list
