Ages of each user here?
by ukpimo ini'm interested to know the age demographics here.
it must be significantly different to other exjw forums.
it would be a damning report for watchtower if most of us appear to have left for decades.. you don't have to mention your exact age, you could always say "in my 50s".. i am in my 70s.

No idea what electric, heat, water, money sent off to mom, etc. is.

Working class congregation. Donations seem to slowly exceed expenses until the magic ceiling hits and then a non Robert's resolution is made.
There is no breakdown; donations, "bill", and amount in WWW box. Any special need like aroof,paving, vandalism etc.is seperate.
Add the hospitality coercion and feeding pioneer school.

New instructions on not using sisters to manage KH computer ?
by fifth.column insince covid in france, especially in the countryside with lack of brothers, it was quite common that some sisters were using the computer at the back of the kingdom hall to manage zoom session.. i heard a rumor that new instructions, maybe a july letter, stated that this was reserved for male only, even unbaptised publishers, but no sister if there is at least a male available.
that would be a steps back and disappointment for these sisters.
last week i heard at my mom’s house how they were happy that this service was available for them, a proof that the org was moving forward.

Except Pogo was and is true. Digging at political party conventions and news media right now, even though the commentary was written on 1952

by Atlantis inbecome a circuit overseer in your mid to late 20's.
you would have had to qualify as an elder previously.
this would mean the male would have had to have been an elder in his early 20's.

90 day wonder.
Move from parental support to mooching off congregations.
COs bragging about all the vacations they took galls me. Always on donated money. Then they get upset when I mention needing overtime (required)

Remember the sex talks?
by KerryKing ini remember sitting through public talks where the speaker spent the hour discussing in great detail anal sex, masturbation (of yourself and others), sex during menstruation and so on.
.
i was a child, looking back now, i realise that they systematically stripped away our childhood innocence, we knew and heard things no 'worldly' child would have heard.. the child abuse and grooming happened to every single one of us, the feelings of guilt and shame was in all of us even if we didn't actually do anything bad, the mental images caused by these filthy men hung around in our innocent minds till there was no room for that innocence.. it has taken me 44 years to realise that what was done to us, even those of us not physically abused, is a crime.. do they still have talks like that nowadays i wonder?

My suspicion was the speakers did research. Also gave ideas.

Trump assassination attempt??
by Diogenesister init happened at a rally in pennsylvania, apparently.
he seems ok i've seen a photo of him bleeding from his ear.
this is absolutely nutso....if it's too it doesn't surprise me the way they constantly describe him as "far right" and that his supporters are "maga republicans".

Trump is not far right nor even consistently conservative. An honest look at the violence in America shows a demographic led by leftists.

should there be an abacus in your pocket? Or that work of the devil a tablet. Remember the advice to ask for householders password to show them a video?
