i hope that within the next several months we will get back to some type of normalcy.

will restaurants ever get filled again?

will you ever be able to sit at a bar or go to a concert or broadway show?.

I think the marker will be around holiday time, starting with Thanksgiving. I would think all the dept. stores will be open by November, I just want to see if the frenzied Xmas shoppers will still carry on as usual, although these past years it's been noted that a lot of people were doing there holiday shopping online, but still the stores are usually packed starting after Turkey Day.

As far as the job market goes, I know all the folks in HR at every company are now weighing the facts about who they need and who they don't need since everyone is working from home now. CBS just laid off some of their on air talent, as well as the behind the scenes folks, so you know what going to happen in the average offices, major layoffs

In 2020 In Your Country or State Are Race Relations Better or Worse Than Before?

archie bunker from all in the family was considered by many as a racist.

there are still many people who think and act like him.

of course, in today’s world, there are many extremes.

eyeuse2badub - I agree with your statement above, It sure sounds like many of my fellow forum members here subscribe to the slogan "Being white makes everything right!" but I also agree with the statements being made about why do African-Americans tear up there own neighborhood, I think that is totally ridiculous too.

There is no rhyme or reason to that, if a a white cop shoots a black guy why would I want to set fire to my own neighborhood? What does that accomplish? Absolutely nothing, then that's when some want to holler "when are you going to come fix this up"? Makes no sense whatsoever, I don't want to totally think they should leave it that way as a lesson about your actions have consequences, because some people think like me who might be living next door to the people who think they have the right to destroy their neighborhood and have nothing to do with looting and destruction,

OK then Minimus, by the way, I think you're a bigot and one of the worst racists I've ever encountered on any social media board, not just this one . . . . . . . . . . . . .is that the way it works?

Im getting used to the people here, I myself hear no sarcasm in the comments in my post. I believe I can tell a flat out racist statement from sarcasm, but of course you have the right to disagree.

Well, since comments such as: "Them people are finally learning to stay in their own part of town and keep to their own kind. Otherwise they'll be one less of 'em to worry about"

And the comment in response to it is: "Rub , u rite ‘gain, bro"

Then my comment is this, is one of the most racist JW Boards I've ever seen and I feel confident in saying that just like the two people who made the comments I quoted above are. At least it is offered here comments can be made from both sides of the argument here.

Craziest thing you ever saw in a KH?

by dubstepped in

i did this in my facebook group for my podcast and it was fun.. so what's the craziest thing you ever saw?.

for me it was watching a brother have a heart attack during the meeting in the auditorium.

i was a kid and noticed him shaking and acting strange.

LauraV

We had our only anointed brother in the Cong excuse himself to go to the bathroom too.

Those who thought that they were going to live in heaven forever with Jehovah were usually kind of quirky and that's putting it nicely.

However, he and his wife finally saw the real light and stopped attending a couple of decades ago.

silentbuddha - If the Wayans went to your Cong for then it must've been a Cong in lower Manhattan, a former JW co-worker went to their KH, she grew up in that area.

That mother and daughter that thought they were in the Catholic Church that was across the street, wow, KHs are so plain inside compared to any church, can't understand how they didn't catch on after just 3 seconds after walking inside.

The sister that stood up and started confessing how bad she was and named all the people she slept with, I bet a few brothers were shitting bricks hoping their name wouldn't be on the list.

this was sent to me by a cooky uber-dub.

apparently it's making the rounds locally...it's typical lighthearted jw satire (that they think is great!!

smh :-/ ) .

Pete - That's funny!

I like that Keynote Address and Prince closing out the days meeting!

But seriously, or not too seriously since the whole Paradise thing is JW hoax, but do they really plan on holding meetings after they've made it after the BIg A? I thought once you've made it through that you would just sit back and relax and play with the lions and tigers in your backyard for the next 10 Zillion years.

Have you ever known elders who were more into being and elder than really being a believer?

by phoenixrising in

i have known many elders who were much more into the idea of being an elder and getting all the old ladies to tell them what wonderful talks they give and the power then really being a believer.

i had one elder tell me that when he became an elder he was on top dog on top of the heap.

i knew some who were really all about the religion and following the cult.

Eldership is a men's club where everyone has the power to run or ruin I should say peoples lives
