does the information about mandatory donations in this post sound accurate to you?.

Regular business for the fiscal year starting in September. Goes with the resolutions to pay into the CO insurance funds, assembly hall maintenance
Big difference from churches us I NEVER see anything come back.
The well off congregations usually are skinflints--being charitable costs money that can be spent on boats, vacations etc.
and this isn't a cult?
just saw my wife put on her name tag for the zoom assembly.... what the what?
i thought these things werent even live.
You sure it is even zoom? The one here is streaming with no interaction.
Yes I do think sports fans are daft. But they are not instructed to wear the gear like witnesses are.
body of elder letters, announcements, and so forth will be next to "none" unless more elders decide to contact us and help out.. atlantis has lost three elders in the past two years.
two elders were disfellowshipped, and one disassociated and walk away a month ago.. when this happens receiving confidential documents is severed.
the last announcement we received was 2020-07-23. i was not about to send out a childish letter on "mold" in the kingdom halls.. there are people out there out of work and concerned about what they will eat tomorrow, and the watchtower is concerned with mold!.
Thanks
The one thing I will miss is the second page that was NEVER to be read to the lowly ones with the special manipulations
i know several older retired witnesses who comolain abiut how little social security pays.
all of them made more than i ever did but were self employed.
they fudged the amount t they reported on taxes and thought they would never get old.

I have to agree with Long Hair woman on the hypocrisy against working full time

Careful
The wanting more money is interesting. That could be seen coming. We will have to wait for the new resolution ( over zoom?) to see the spin
elections have been held per the us constitution during many difficult times; us civil war, ww i, ww ii, whatever.
i just put on the pro-trump fox news and even they are saying ... oooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. this is really scary.
are we headed towards a dictatorship?
They should change his password and not tell him. A brash conceited man.
On the other side is a well oiled machine that will make you think being raped is right. And pay them for it. If the election goes that way you better grease up
The media is bought and will not report the truth. Choose any subject; I know more people with health problems not being addressed than those with covid. Rogue cops make the news but peaceful demonstrations leave broken windows, fires, theft, murder. The slaveholder monuments torn down never mention that they are all Democrats.
i was wondering two things, 1: how long in total are the zoom meetings, i presume the sunday one is the longest ?.
and 2: if you use zoom for free, the session only lasts 40 minutes, so do they have an intermission so people can log back in, or are all jw's expected to pay for the "privilege" ?.
The dating pool is likely the worst part. Most of the growth comes from born ins. Finding a mate elsewhere will dilute the growth along with causing a lot to " "fall into sin ".
extreme abuse or non support how about mild physical abuse?
or as i know of, a sister who wanted a bigger house and left.
she also encouraged adultery sk she could move on.

i have no love loss for the gb or religion and this is not an apologist attempt.
in fact i hate the religion and the gb.
but i watch night after night young kids who's minds have been corrupted by the propaganda and dogma that modern college's are teaching them.
The dsnger of college is thinking on your own. The Boreans would be apostates by present thinking.
from washington state to new york city to atlanta and california and so on, you see thousands of demonstrators trying to get rid of police, statues, monuments and anything they consider racially biased.. do you think this type of activity and destruction is working well for the country and it’s law abiding citizens?
?.
Those if us who decry some if the police actions are pushed into being a police supporter. Broken windows, fires theft, vandalism, blocking public thoroughfares, confronting citizens while armed. Negligent discharges hitting their own side.
Makes me dream of having a machine gun-- collateral damage be damned.
