  Dothemath

  The talk at my hall i dont think mentioned work functions, but it is hard to pay full attention. There are some kids who got into trouble according to rumor from an elders wife. Maybe announcements will follow. They did not mention any realistic way to deal with the lack of marriage partners, just pray and watch a video.

  I am a marginal witness: low hours, watch violent r movies, do not want to reach out. I openly scoff at the go bag scenario saying we will actually be as well off or better relying on neighbors and " worldly" resources.

  when you hear that the polls say.... do you really believe it??.

  i think polls can be and often are skewered.

  i don’t trust them..

  I seldom participate so that skews the results. If you look at the wording the questions are leading to the conclusion they want; usually yes or no.

  Polls often are used to gauge the populace so lies can be tailored to lull the masses.

  having been raised as a jw, racism was something that was never promoted.

  i now have a 9 year old that has been visiting her biological grandmother and my ex-wife.

  More information please. We do not know the races involved, nor the comments. Are they about racial traits or cultural preferences; or derogatory things?

  You can prove it with pyramidology. No need to obfuscate with 0 year; that fits with the century and decade debate

  this was a comment from the meeting(tm) on sunday.. the person that told me about it, is very confused about the validity of the corporation.

  somewhere between a pimo and a pimi-lite.

  the thing that angered me was that this person has cancer.

  That may be why funeral/ memorial receptions are popular. There sure aren't any tears.

  There were a couple last year locally. Invitations handed out outside the KH door because you can't do it in the hall. I went and the sister i wanted to cheat on my with didnt even show.

  They missed: changing doctrine no one can explain, tedious simple meetings, small service groups ( stagnant), simple presentations that are not realistic, limited territory if you do go out, old age and dashed expectations, " "special" people like pioneers . Dimwits appointed while bright ones are passed over ( one is a special ed quality guy), poverty. Probably more if I knew.

  We know you cannot talk about these things ( lack of faith). And things are NOT worse than ever in the world.

  The beatings will continue until morale improves. This was not as severe as some talks though, give credit where due.
