as 1975 was approaching, many witnesses sold their property.
do you know about specific cases that are willing to share their experience of doing so?.
Remember a great number of us did not own anything to sell and semi retire.
It irks me to hear the examples of business men selling out, employing contract labor ( illegally), being held up as examples.
Same for the CO bragging about his world travels while eating a meal paid by some one else.
a news article has the headline of " ‘case closed’: 99.9% of scientists agree climate emergency caused by humans"; see https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/oct/19/case-closed-999-of-scientists-agree-climate-emergency-caused-by-humans .
the article says in part the following.. 'the scientific consensus that humans are altering the climate has passed 99.9%, according to research that strengthens the case for global action at the cop26 summit in glasgow.. the degree of scientific certainty about the impact of greenhouse gases is now similar to the level of agreement on evolution and plate tectonics, the authors say, based on a survey of nearly 90,000 climate-related studies.
this means there is practically no doubt among experts that burning fossil fuels, such as oil, gas, coal, peat and trees, is heating the planet and causing more extreme weather.. a previous survey in 2013 showed 97% of studies published between 1991 and 2012 supported the idea that human activities are altering earth’s climate.. this has been updated and expanded by the study by cornell university that shows the tiny minority of sceptical voices has diminished to almost nothing as evidence mounts of the link between fossil-fuel burning and climate disruption.. the latest survey of peer-reviewed literature published from 2012 to november 2020 was conducted in two stages.
I have a vested interest in my life, which depends on gas heat, electricity, transportation. None can be replaced economically.
My old hippie ideals of a berm home, farm, etc. were never achievable even when young

i'll assume we have all felt a jolt of loss when a favorite tv, movie or book character dies.
when i watched the death of the incredible hulk tv movie after years of reading the comics and watch the tv show i was impacted.
funny even today it just feels wrong.

we had a co talk touching on resurrection, death, seeing family again.
the brother went into scenarios about his family, complete with tears.
i question getting that emotional every time he gives this talk.
I fault him. Standing on the stage with tears running talking in a quivering voice about seeing parents reappear. Going to have a big house for them all. Then do it again next week.
Sounded more revival meeting. Alter march kind of bs.

We had a CO talk touching on resurrection, death, seeing family again. The brother went into scenarios about his family, complete with tears. I question getting that emotional every time he gives this talk. Is this a throwback to born again tent meeting behavior?
We had similar a few years back at the convention; black brother acting and talking like a TV shyster.
Both times everyone ate it up. Except me
does anyone ever wonder the good they could have done instead of giving a public talk for 45 or 30 minutes?
i remember giving my first public talk aged 18 and even then i was thinking ' this is just me making up half truths trying to blind people with jw propaganda'.
fast forward 15 years to when i gave my final public talk and i was so close to seeding the 30 minutes with ideas that could possibly wake people up but i never had the guts.. in that 30 minutes i could have done so much real good for a person instead of spreading this awful religions dogma.
Remember the 55 minutes, a 15 minute break and watchtower 2 or even 3 part articles.
Now the talks are interchangeable; different slant on the same guilt and carrot. The WT is 3 paragraphs of introduction, 3 paragraphs of review, and a preview of next week.
Dont go into the midweek skits and slow learner material
on halloween night, police arrested two people who were dressed up individually as a battery and a firework rocket.
they charged one and let the other off.. police in london are investigating the theft of dogs throughout the city.. they don't have any leads.. i found a large box filled with kodak 35 mm camera film, and handed it in to the police.. they said they'd let me know if there were any developments.. police recovered a valuable stolen microscope.. they say they're looking into it.. yorkshire police can't establish what's wrong with the sat-navs in their new fleet of squad cars.. they're still looking for leeds.. police are investigating the theft of a perpetual motion device.
they say it's an ongoing inquiry.. the old ones are the best!
I'm American. We get them.Those are dad jokes, otherwiseknown as groaners

Even my rose-colored glasses do not want me to live in a pre industrial world. You mean the one where we plowedwith horses, had famines, and hunted whales for the oil?
how much of the preaching hours in yearly report you think are real?
they always have high numbers preaching hours.
