i live with my parents in law and yesterday, my mother in-law was very nervous about an email she got from the brothers in her congregation.
it was asking if she would be able to receive people over at our house should there be a catastrophe.
so, she asked me if i would agree with this.
The government recommends go bags. WT is following the trend a lot of the foaming at the mouth world is better stocked, prepared, and charitable and kind. In recent fires there were groups from out of state churches coming in-- sifting ashes to find keepsakes for families.
Watch the money. I have NEVER seen WT use theirs, always finding some way to get things donated but take the credit.

has anyone heard this?
ive been told multiple ex jws have confirmed it but no one seems to kow their names so im still skeptical..
Oh, the horror! Official WT policy y is to stay home under your bed.
back in the day, tons of witnesses were brought in the “back room “ to be counseled by elders because of their dress and grooming.
some elders frowned on mustaches or hair that went past a certain point on a male.
women were regularly harassed because their skirt was too long or too short or had a slit on the side.
"A brother would wear rings and was told not too"
Pinky ring? Like the brothers of christ?
just because you believe something as truth, it doesn’t make it truth.
religious leaders may be admired and believed but they could be dead wrong.
politicians can spout out “facts” that support their truth yet once further evidence comes through these facts are questionable.
JWs have the truth. that is why they have the book : "What did the bible used to teach". A sucessor if the infamous Truth book
i always understood the term 'black' (or 'black', if you write for the guardian) to refer to sub-saharan africans or people of sub-saharan african origin.. but, perhaps in a rush to embrace victimhood, more and more people are today are using the term black to refer to other people.. so, apparently barack obama is black - 'the first black president of the united states'.. and lewis hamilton is supposedly the only black driver in formula one.. and jordan peele is a black film director, apparently.. and then there's meghan markle.. there may also be people of pakistani heritage who refer to themselves as black.. and, sorry to say, it's all a load of bullsh*t.. barack obama, lewis hamilton, jordan peel, halle berry and meghan markle are all biracial (mixed-race).
they're not black.
disregarding the other half of their ethnic heritage is intellectually dishonest.. .
Medicine recognizes certain treatments being different for blacks. I question some of that. Is it equally true for mulattos, quadroons, octaroons?
Dont forget that language (hispanic) is a race now.
The genetic tests show odd percentages of origin. Are there now septaroons and triaroons?
so you all probably heard that the awake magazine is back, .

and one of my jw relatives said they were told by some elders that meetings and field service will resume before the end of the year.. they said this covid virus was a test, like when the romans breached jerusalem and retreated, only to come back later and sack jerusalem.
The letter was read at another congregation too. Where family goes.
It is one of those we cannot say what to do BUT letters
My worst fears, being pressured to go ruin my Saturday and other's too
From reports on how isolated Bethel was they will come down with some other malady
a pew study from 2020 (but one i just now came upon myself) reported that the more liberal you are, the more likely you are to have a mental health condition.
the worst suffering group are white females, ages 18-29 where over 56% have admitted to be described by their own doctors as having a mental health condition.
conservative females of the same age group suffer at less than half that number (27%).. while women tend to have more mental health problems than men (don't be mad at me for saying it, this is what the study reports) it is notable that liberal men have a higher percentage of mental health conditions than conservative women in the same age group.
There is not a clear line berween lib and conservative. It can be drawn as a square, or better as a cube. Depending on the survey bias I am a moderate, slightly right. If feelings are given weight I end up slightly left. Reality included pushes me a bit more right.
As I have said, voting is figuring who to vote against, not for.

Added the other things we watch on YouTube not airshow stuff. I live near an airbase so see interesting planes at times. Old planes will do flyovers when traveling to air shows.
People like machinery. Airplanes, trains, cars, Eiffel towers. The planes have hotdogs at the stick u unlike a passenger plane. Add cannons and machine guns and tanks
