  What do you think will be different in the Organization after the pandemic is over?

  whether they go back to door-to-door or not, what will be different?

  do you think there will be a noticeable drop-off in attendance as we have read on here that many have left or faded?

  will there be a mass selling of halls?

  Correlation to ww2 is not the same. At the peak Westeen Union was delivering 3000 telegrams a DAY. And the ones coming back had witnessed it first hand.

  A pimi (as far as I know) told my wife she dreads having to go back to driving way out to a territory, dressing up for meetings, traveling. So much easier to put on a blouse and necklace, sip a brandy.

  I'm sure lots of the no picture zoomees are not dressed "appropriately".

  We elderly have to be conscious of crowds, so may still have to stay home.

  Someone commented on letters being ineffective, that surely holds true for dtd too.

  Are You Concerned About Inflation?

  by Simon in

  i saw a statistic the other day that something like 25% of all the debt that the us has incurred since 1776 was created in the last 12 months.

  that's because they have printed so much currency and instead of letting that stop them, they are going to continue printing more to go on a spending spree on crazy green-new-deal schemes and union handouts.. does anyone think that this can be anything other than inflationary?

  they are effectively stealing the wealth of everyone to then hand money out to people.

  Disillusioned

  Except we are seeing higher prices on goods. The online market is dominated by Amazon and perhaps Ebay. I know how much my home heat has gone up, largely by design for " carbon emissions". The same for rent, insurance, food; all things we need.

  The disruption of delivery adds in too. The food market is regularly low stocked or depleted.

  Building materials, gasoline, electricity, gas.

  Things like toilet paper we used to buy on sale never are now.

  i have a family member who is a remote bethelite and they are working on creating content for online "university" for bethelites to teach them skills that are needed at bethel.

  from what i've seen it is a lot of recorded content saved on their sharepoint sites.

  i haven't seen any information on this from this site or reddit which i'm more active on.

  JWs now in the movie business

  by mickbobcat in

  so the cult is building movie studios and making films or propaganda d movies of jesus.

  my question is how do they plan to make their investment back?

  my guess is that they are hoping that this somehow brings in converts.

  Maybe trying to keep the ones in. Average attention span of an amoeba. There is always the donation angle; "if you bought this from the world it would cost X".

  Biden is almost completely lucid. With a script.

  Call girls use sex to gain things. She did. Maybe whore would be a better word.

  Spiritually Weak Ones Are Bad Association according to the Governing Body

  2. beliefs

  after you read the words of jesus in mark 2: 17, you will see that the contrast between the teachings of jesus and the governing body.. .

  you clearly read what's written in the bible, but the society is always twisting and bending scriptures to their benefit.

  here is stephen lett talking about ''spiritually weak'' members and twisting jesus's words teaching on sinners:.

  I do my best.

  As for opposing views it makes you think. If you cannot articulate a counter argument you have to change or stubborn up. Guess which describes JWs?

  Parking Attendant Training Videos

  i know that all of the assembly/convention attendant training videos have been leaked publicly, but has anyone gotten a hold of the parking training videos?.

  i saw these about a year and a half ago, when i was still pimo.

  as bizarre and manipulative as the attendant video series is, the parking videos put them to shame.

  I enjoyed some parking jobs. partly because the head was a good guy.

  I love the waving, pointing traffic directors ( not). And parking cars so you are trying to get your stuff while the next car is taking your door off.

  I have had my wheelchair passenger with placard displayed put way out there, in tight spots, and in lots with no ramps, just square curbs. A brother told me they didn't plan or want the disabled and put in the minimum spots required by law.

  I wanted but never got the convertible or motorcycle job. I did get a borrowed mc for night patrol with the ONLY set of keys at a fairground back when we camped

  My question; Are things really that bad in their Country that parents are willing to throw their 3 year old child over the border wall??

  If things were really bad in my Country, my children would stay with me regardless. I could not possibly throw my 3 year old daughter over a wall into another Country not knowing what would happen to her

  There is probably an untold part. Border patrol scared off the coyote on the american side, maybe he was supposed to be catching the kids. The smugglers have no conscience as we also witnessed the e 6 monyh old being dumped in the river. The texas ranger probably had a choice of apprehending a smuggler or saving the baby and the smuggler knew which choice would be made.

  We cannot save the world by moving everyone here.

  The news mixes up on purpose the personal stories with the larger picture. My mex neighbors are good people but in general my city is becoming a barrio
