I'm raising two kids with another one due next month, too busy anymore to worry too much about life's meanings.

Anyone struggle to find meaning in life?
by Good JW injust wondering if this is a common thing for you guys and girls?
when i left the jws it was hard to make a connection with people, much of the time i felt that whatever they wanted to talk about just didn't seem relevant/deep/meaningful.
i find myself filtering my mind to get to a level with others (small talk mostly).

Evolution doesn't happen today...WRONG...
by HowTheBibleWasCreated inlast year i had a brother tell me that one proof evolution is false is that he doesn't see it happening today... i was going to bring of viruses evolving so fast that new vaccines must be developed each year but felt he was too closed minded to receive it.
today i was listening to the audio book of 'an ancestors tale- richard dawkins' and noted oe point that shined through.. here is evolution happening>>>.

When I was a boy, I remember seeing a fish walk out of water. Let me tell you, when that happened, it changed everything.
And, as a young man, we saw the dinosaurs sprout feathers and wings. Good times, man, good times.
People say Evolution is still out there doing her thing. Let me tell you something, though, she ain't what she used to be.

Canadians seem nervous.
"That’s a debate for Americans to sort out.
For Canadians, there will be others. In the wake of this bill, policy-makers in Ottawa and the provincial capitals face two dilemmas: whether to react to these ground-shifting tax changes, and how.
In the blink of an eye, the mighty southern neighbour goes from having one of the highest corporate tax rates in the industrialized world to one that is equal to Canada’s combined federal-provincial rates, which average around 27 per cent.
For about three decades, tax expert Jack Mintz says Canada’s competitive edge in attracting business investment has rested on a pair of pillars — a far lower corporate tax rate, and free trade.
One pillar is gone, with the U.S. tax change. The other is wobbling. Tr... ‘Do I invest in Canada, with a small population, small market, to serve the North American market, or do I go to the United States?”‘ said Mintz, of the University of Calgary."Germans too
The tax competition will have a new dimension,” said Christoph Spengel, chairman of the corporate tax department at the University of Mannheim. Mr. Spengel, who is also a research associate at the Center for European Economic Research, and a group of tax experts at the university have done a detailed comparison of the two countries’ tax systems and published a report under the heading, “Germany loses out in US tax reform.”
Clemens Fuest, who heads the Ifo economic think tank, also said he believed German business would suffer. “Investments and jobs will migrate to the US,” he said. -

And for those complaining about insurance rate hikes, they've been rising sharply for years under Obamacare. Obama promised it would save the average person $2500. It was a huge lie.

Pacifism is Morally Indefensible
by cofty ini have been surprised recently to see so much support by ex-jws for the watchtower's refusal to fight and kill.
in my opinion it is a vice masquerading as a virtue.
of course war should always be a last resort but there are occasions that it has to be done.

Pacifism only works when its a minority surrounded by non-Pacifists willing to defend their right to be Pacifists.

PHILIPPINES - "December 15, 2017 letter Re: 2017 Service Year Report" - with local numbers and highlights
by darkspilver inthe previously posted wt letter of december 15, 2017 "re: 2017 service year report" was for the us congregations.. as expected the second (and third) paragraphs of the letter are being re-written to feature highlights in the local field to the congregations that it is addressed to.... hence below is what i understand to be the highlighted figures in the letter that is being sent and read out (in the first week of january 2018) to congregations in the philippines.. i believe that the philippines is traditionally one of the wt's *star performers* in terms of growth (*cough*cough* if you exclude the 1975-fallout) .
(previous year's figures in brackets) .
peak publishers: 210,914 (209,131).

i wonder how shunning goes down in the philippines. hardly a popular idea with strong family bonds there.
I've heard of some cases. They do tend to have a harder time of it than in other countries.
