  No need to read all them. Rewritten combination of propaganda, coercion, flattery, pep talk, with some adjustments at times on hours or such. Since it is so special to be a pioneer the letters are only for the few. We unworthies are not to be privy to the contents. Same for the pioneer school, meeting etc.

  The Poor the Wealthy and the Middle Class

  the poor spendthe middle-class savethe wealthy invest.

  the unique circumstances of the lockdown and stimulus checks has highlighted these differences in stark ways.. on one hand, you have jumps in sales and valuation of companies like foot locker and nike, as people spend their "free" government money on sneakers.

  they blow it on useless tat.

  One thing to consider is average. If .middle is average it cannot change we tend to call ourselves middle class when actually some of us are working class, others well off but not really rich. Consider the custodian/janitor versus the horsey set. I wonder if I won lotto would I really buy a rolls, have a butler, or even know how to behave

  Around here the average home is half a million, but the qualifying wage is above average. I tend to think adequate is a better goal. 3 car garage, 5 bed rooms 4 baths are more than most grew up in. Add in that some people are incapable of maintaining a home.

  Health is a real happiness ingredient.

  "While it is true money does not buy happiness, the advantages of poverty have been greatly exaggerated"

  There is a proverb about having neither riches nor poverty. They dont use it. The "poor" pioneers get by on charity, and not WT charity

  the latest wt questions from readers on blood.

  fractions of all "primary" components are now allowed?.

  is this saying that everything is allowed except when they're combined together?

  Shot of whiskey makes you a rummy. A high ball doesnt. That doesnt entirely fit.

  The emergency food is a better analogy.

  there is this new movie out called "king richard" staring will smith playing serena and venus williams father.

  i don't know much about this, but i heard that they were raised by jw parents.

  how does that factor into the movie and their growing up aspiring tennis stars?.

  Rsised but never baptized. I doubt they qualify as unbaptized publishers. That thanking jehovah is embarrassing.

  Another movie to miss

  There is no gender in heaven. The construction of most languages default to the male pronouns. This is not a political statement, just observation.

  My sympathy goes to (almost) anyone with health issues. The problem is them abusing him and claiming WE are not normal.

  Look at the succession scenario and be afraid. More so with the behind scenes power brokers

  Simon: true, except they lock us in with themselves.

  I listened to a radio show on schooling. Teachers unions, school boards, curriculum, tutoring. The piece they missed was parents; (single, absent, divorced (stepparents), ill educated). A poor mentor will beget poor students.

  Are you in now? A bible study (their name) has to show willingness to believe without question anything said. Being here shows you have doubts
