Someine takes a little power and consolidates it. Then the masses are given a choice from those only.
That quote is actually from Pogo drawn by Walt Kelly

Who Is To Blame For the World's Insanity? Not The Leaders But Their Followers
by The Bethelite inthere are 1000's of wacked out ideas on the planet.. a crazy little man with a mustache in a beer hall in munich germany in 1923 had some crazy ideas for sure....he starting with a dozen people who thought his insanity was a good idea.
in just 22 years his insanity effected the entire world with millions dead.
he duped 95 million germans alone...who thought his insanity was a good idea.. another crazy little man with a beard, started in the basement of a church in pennsylvania in the1870's.

Not really. I thought it was TV. Wife was listening to some update or such when I walked by and heard the accent and inflection. I do not know who it was, or care.
What gets me us they seem to idolize some of the leaders and use them for reading. To convey information to the US you need no regional accents, slang or such. In England, Australia, India use someone else.
Once again it seemed to be experiences someone had where in one week they accomplished more than a whole congregation does in a year.

You forgot the W and Z chromosomes.
As for climate, it has always changed, the problem is how to deal with it without causing mass unrest.
Side note: science says African Americans react differently to medicine. Look up octoroon. Personally I am a septaroon, put that in your math science conondrum

A lot of us are here because everything freddy wrote came true....AND...nothing happened.
Wife yells at me about studying. It takes all of 10 minutes if you watch the whole video. As for reading the awake it has already been memorized because it is all reprints

What results are the letter writing having?
by purrpurr inmost jws are restricted to letter writing ministry right now.
of course i've heard a load of highly dubious 'encouraging experiences' about it already.. but what i'm wondering is how these letters are actually being received and what effect they are really having?.
i also find it disturbing that jws are being told to put their home address on the letters they send out.

Newsoaoer had an article about the witnesses and mormons in lockdown. A name you recognize from assemblies was telling about all wonderful experiences and return visits from letters and phone calls. What i have seen is 1 returned with a born againer rebuttal, a very few polite non commital conversations, and a pile of addressee moved. Here the return is the KH for safety and anonymity. Those same people who didnt answer the door also dont answer the phone or open junk mail

i'm in school for social services, dealing with student loan debt, and a lot of other debt.

There sure as hell aint a support system at the hall. At your age you must have some work friends, and neighbors.
And there are not any meetings at the hall, it is all zoom.

I lost 25cents on slots. Made $4, and $40 on lotto. No telling how much I spent, but I buy only 1 ticket, or when the powerball is a third gazillion I will buy one.
Everyone talks about how much they win at Vegas but I notice the casinos are still in business.

Unemployment is figured from benefits. A person who has timed out, self employed, and underemployed are not figured in. The black market cash is harder to figure.
The available jobs have an array of caveats: physical health, training, skills, distances to travel, part time.
We could go back to the ( never existed) farmer, mill operator, blacksmith, baker, all living above the shops.
There is little thought of modern innovations. Example: bessemer made better steel, so better rail to carry goods, making luxury items for the masses. That also brought backbreaking labor, pollution, coal mines, pit mines, migrant slums.
In the new world perfect people will never break that pre armageddon charger full of fruit so we will not need a glass factory or clay mine😊

I havent seen any except a few closely guarded " kingdom " mags. Maybe they count every hit on the website too.
That 16 page thing was an embarrassment, along with the cover art.
