* will you enlist in the military? I often suggest this to GUYS, but I'm not sure that for the average young lady it is a great idea.

The last "love of my life" was an officer in the Army. I didn't know that much about military life before she came along, but holy cow! The military has so many benefits! And those benefits last a lifetime. I encourage young people, whether male or female, to at least seriously consider a stint in the military. The military will whip you into shape, teach some discipline, and the recruit will learn some skills (and no, the skills are not all about killing people). My ex has traveled the world and is now in grad school thanks to the US Army. I met many of her female Army friends. I admit it is not for everyone, but it is an option more young folk should explore. As a bonus, when young jw youth go into the military, jw's are aghast.

Drink and Zoom, No Smell No Tell

by 2+2=5 in

i’ve been at work with some jws over the last week.. i was conversing with one jw elder who mentioned having a couple of drinks after work, on the evening of a zoom meeting.

he said he never drinks before a meeting, but did this occasion.

this jw is not a heavy drinker, he’s very moderate compared to most.. this got me thinking about the other jws i use to associate with, who were actually drinkers, blokes that would drink 8+ beers, when it’s gone out comes the scotch or vodka.. i think they’ll be counting the sober bro’s on one hand at these meetings.

Most of the attendees at this meeting look pretty sloshed.

The virus and how it's affected life

by days of future passed in

since i've never lived in time with dire events, this virus and it's effects, has taken me by surprise.

not that i should be surprised by how people responded, but until you experience it first hand, you just don't get the scope of it all.. all the hoarding.

i've always taken things in a more rational way.

I don't know how things will change in real life, but it better change in disaster movies. You've seen disaster movies (asteroid heading for earth, ufo attacks, etc) where people are running around in a panic, cars are crashing into each other, fires everywhere, and other assorted mayhem. In the future, if a disaster movie doesn't include one scene where people are beating the tar out of each other as they fight over the last roll of FREAKING TOILET PAPER at the Wal-Mart, I will be deeply disappointed.

My Girlfriend’s Beautiful Scottish Terrier Died Yesterday 😥

mia was almost 8 and she was the sweetest dog who was my girlfriend’s constant companion.

she had a wonderful disposition and was just a source of joy to everyone who would meet her.. she was brought to the vet on thursday and seemed to have digestive issues.

the vet gave her medicine and said it would make her sleepy.

I've shed way more tears over pets that died than over most people who have died.

I'm sorry this happened. It happens to everyone who has a pet and it is never easy. I've had numerous dogs and cats over the years. The last few dogs I've had were senior adoptions. It doesn't matter if those seniors last a few months or a couple of years, it truly sucks to have to make that final decision. Take the time to mourn your loss.

Medical Supplies - Please Help Me Understand the Rationale About States Bidding Against Each Other

by RubaDub in

jw
friends

i really don't understand why states have to bid against each other for essential items such as medical supplies.

when you get into bidding wars, the consumers are the ones who lose.. put 50 people in an auction for a product and the one who wins is the manufacturer, not the ones purchasing.. my wife works for a multi-national corporation.

if she is importing or exporting goods, she doesn't determine what the costs will be; this is already determined through the corporate offices that negotiate worldwide movement of products.

Since 9/11, New York in general and NYC in particular has spent billions and billions on disaster preparations. Every time these was a major event in the CIty (think New Years Eve in Times Square) the Mayor or Police Chief or Fire Chief or any other 2-bit politician that cared to would go on TV and when asked, "Are you prepared for the unthinkable tonight?" they would say, "NYC is the best prepared, best trained, best equipped city in the world to handle anything that comes." From natural disasters to terrorists, they were ready. Dirty bombs, suit-case bombs, biological attacks; they claimed they could handle it. Yet, within the first few days of COVID-19 showing up, the Governor and the Mayor were begging for help. What happened to all the claimed preparedness? Where did it all go? Did it ever exist in the first place?

is this real? Wife got an email from here group elder about daily check in's

by goingthruthemotions in

so this elder is super brainwashed, as is his wife.

she actually made a comment that she wished antmo 3 was her dad and that he is so cool.

oh my god, i threw up in my mouth.

I would think a lot of organizations are doing outreach activities. I'm a supervisor at work and all staff are working from home. Supervisors have been directed to call - not email or text - each of our subordinates at least weekly. This call is not about work. We are calling to see how they and their families are doing and to see if they need anything. I'm not surprised that jw's would have their own peculiar way of doing outreach.
