The old adage is taxes reduce participation in activities. Tax employment, fewer jobs, tax property, fewer property owners. The loopholes, special interests,, and underground economy are a concern. The graft is a problem too; for instance, road, fuel taxes used for bike paths

Blues
Those narrators do get annoying, thinking they are more important.
The booze thing is notable only in that you are supposed to be at meeting or service sunday morning. They pound that and that the GB are ordinary members like the rest of us. It was an older Cadillac, dolled up chevy type. He does have the mannerism of a drunk which is the core point.

A question about the contemporary generation teaching following a conversation with a JW apologist
by Giles Gray ini would like to ask the ex-jws on this site to put their ‘apologists hat’ back on for a moment, so that i can go through the overlapping generation teaching in an attempt to make sense of it.
i apologise if these points have already been addressed on this site.a quick background for the reason for my request… having never confronted a jw apologist on the topic, i recently engaged with a jw regarding the official understanding of a ‘generation’ and unfortunately he didn’t have an answer to the points i was making.
i was left a little confused as to what the official jw response would/should be.so i was hoping that my thoughts below might be considered from an apologist’s perspective.the point in question relates to this section of the watchtower article below from 2008, as well as the jw.org video explanation of the overlapping generation:---:w08 2/15[box on page 25] can we calculate the length of “this generation”?the word “generation” usually refers to people of various ages whose lives overlap during a particular time period or event.

One of the GB updates or such it was pointed out that Joseph's brothers were within a few years of the same age as him.
As for 1914, it can be proved by pyramidoligy 😆

Had to laugh.
by Lost in the fog ini had to laugh.. i bumped into a friend who has started going back to the meetings and who has that enthusiastic arm-waving way of talking about the stuff they're hearing from the platform.. in part he's wittering on about some talk they'd had about king david and all of his ups and downs.
and says, "and as the speaker emphasized over and over again, we can imitate david because he was a man just like ourselves.".
" i finally interrupted.. that shut him up.

If we get any announcement at all it will be to not earmark any donations.
Remember the good samaritan? He had to go through channels and follow careful direction. Meanwhile the victim bled out.

The public air waves, infrastructure built through public rights of way correspond to public sidewalks. There is only so much bandwidth, my city allows only one cable company.
Give me a straight story, I will draw my own conclusions. Who defines the lie?
