the year was 2010. .
this has always infuriated me.
i was pomi ( but didnt know it).
It’s a little thicker and shorter than the black or maroon version you may remember. The paper is a bit thicker and less transparent than the cigarette paper used before. The cover is light gray and is very soft and malleable instead of the rigid leather of before.
As a disfellowshipped and identified “full blown apostate” I asked my still in JW mom to give me one and she did.
I misplaced it the last time we moved. I suspect it is in a thrift store somewhere.
do these democrats really think that if they protest and wail about anything they don’t like , that policies will change ?
they are really embarrassing themselves..
“Obama's election in 2008 was preceded and followed by violent attacks and property destruction targeted against minorities.
Kaylon Johnson, an African American campaign worker for Obama, was physically assaulted for wearing an Obama T-shirt in Louisiana following the 2008 election. The three white male attackers shouted "Fuck Obama!" and "Nigger president!" as they broke Johnson's nose and fractured his eye-socket, requiring surgery.
More frequently, Obama's presidency was marked by effigies of our first black president hanging from nooses across the country, for example in Kentucky, Washington State, and Maine, or being burned around the world. What Trump supporters fail to remember is that following Obama's election, property was destroyed across the country, for example in Pennsylvania, Texas, and North Carolina, and a predominately black church was torched in Massachusetts.“
i have never seen this country so divided.
something is going to give.
they is such a lack of recognition for the law.
“I worry about those who have the guns to start a war. You know who those are. They voted for Trump in big numbers.”
I promise you, those of us with guns are the very ones who will stop a war in its tracks.

Protests are the building blocks of what our nation is. The manner of protest is what is at issue.
150 Liberals interrupting senate testimony is stupid. Packing a senators office is irritating. Those are not peaceful demonstrations and they are self harming to a political party.
Chanting “lock her up” and encouraging violence against protestors and offering legal defense costs is also stupid.
Both parties are asinine when acting like petulant children.
if the need for relief is beyond what the congregations in the area can provide, the governing body of jehovah’s witnesses arranges to supply what is needed.
[...] since the work is performed by unpaid volunteers, the funds that are allocated go toward actual relief, not administrative expenses.

Watchtower is also effective in compelling those that they help to send in their insurance checks. The work needed is done with volunteer labor and often donated materials. So even during a disaster relief effort, Watchtower makes money. True not everyone has the proper insurance, but still why not just do the favor and let people keep the insurance money?
curious to know if this is the kathleen desoto that was on the defense (watchtower) side during last week's 35 million dollar judgment for the plaintiffs in the child molestation case.
joel taylor and don herberger (spelling) were also on the borg's side in this case.. https://www.garlington.com/attorneys/kathleen-l-desoto.shtml.
does anyone know if that kathleen desoto has worked with the organization before, or was she just retained because she's local to montana and very highly ranked?.
Under Montana law WT attorneys would have to work under/with a Montana attorney.
one of my best friends is in the security business.
he told me the other day of how the watch tower has been in contact with his good friend and business associate.
evidently they are inquiring about putting cameras into every kh so that they can do 24 hour monitoring.
I don’t think there is anything to see here. Well except on the cameras.
Not a bad idea. Cameras deter vandalism. Even when the cameras are fake. The KHs I attended constantly got vandalized. During the meetings cars were keyed or car windows smashed. Specifically cars parked in the neighborhood because the lot was full.
I cant imagine anybody wants to watch meetings that isn’t part of the congregation. I don’t think it’s like some big brother episode. Probably more like grandma can call in on the phone and watch billy give a talk. They are trying to get more high tech. Makes sense to me. From a security and meeting attendance increase standpoint. Nothing nefarious.

The administrative costs are funded by donations. Everything they do is donation based whether it is time, goods, assets or money.
Im sure they make interest on money in the bank too and profit from flipping property.
So they are not being forthright? Can’t it just be spun one way or the other?
