  so did anyone else have the misfortune of listening to sanderson’s talk corresponding to the saturday morning convention program?.

  full title is “young people - choose a path that leads to peace!”.

  the basic idea is, hey you teenagers, you ought to be pioneers, wt construction workers, and/or bethelites.. i tried to put myself back in time an embarrassing number of decades…if i were in this talk’s target audience, how would i respond?.

  in the us, our mega millions lottery jackpot has reached over 1billion dollars!

  what would you do if you won?

  i think i’d run public service announcements on television, alerting people of the dangers of the wt cult, among other things.

  After cash option and taxes it is only 400 million. And it may split to 2 or 3 winners.

  Usual working poor dreams, new truck, better house. I cannot buy health or youth. Family would come out OK, even cousins we never knew.

  beware the rise of corporate rituals designed to manipulate employees.

  "companies are increasingly looking to engender loyalty by tapping into our evolved need to belong.

  but the emotional costs of bonding sessions and other techniques can be high and the sense of belonging false, warns jonathan r goodman" .

  A worship of neckties, panty hose. I suspect that the over half who still zoom instead of traveling do not dress up with a few exceptions. On zoom only a few show pictures.

  It at times reminds me of children play dressing. Princess shirts, cowboy hat, capes, dinosaur outfits. Does Mattel make a kingdom hall set? I know lego adapts. Thanks Kevin.

  Were the bethelites disappointed when they moved out of Brooklyn?

  anyone know of anyone who was serving at the time of the move?

  i know a few former jw's who were at brooklyn who have told me that the actual bethel experience was kind of a drag but it was kinda cool to experience living in nyc for a couple of years.

  i visited a relative who was serving, years ago and went into the apartment he shared.

  Perspective. I knew a country boy who was asked back for a special skill. He would not go back to the city, preferred the farm so declined

  The accounts of batf, fbi, hs, all showing up make me wonder.

  A local problem is LOCAL. let the police handle it at the start. In this case they should ask for help from sheriffs, other towns, texas rangers, but it is theirs. The investigative forces can come in later.

  In reality sheriffs only are the elected law.

  Side note; the local metro area has a dozen police forces, each with a swat. The metro college, city college, state university all in the core city also have a swat. Do you really think the city will not send in their armored car if needed?

  That indiana mall shooting shows the up side of a competent citizen with a gun. And he did not do a barney fife and try to clear the perps gun. Last year another scenario got the good guy killed because he did not quit handling guns.

  What locale? Rural with long distances, unsafe city? Which country? 10 would be only the ones with parts if a midweek meeting. Is covid rampant or some other influence.

  Some have speculated a streamlined meeting with a few actors putting on the show is the future.
