[read after the watchtower study the week of october 26, 2020.\] 2021 regional convention: many have expressed great appreciation for the special arrangement to benefit from the 2020 regional convention during this coronavirus pandemic.

because of the uncertainty of holding large gatherings in 2021 and the evidence of jehovah’s blessing on this year’s convention program, the governing body recently approved the following arrangements for the 2021 regional convention program.

when i see polls suggesting trump has a 95% chance to lose the presidency, according to drudge report, which is now totally liberal, and i see the huge crowds of trump supporters as opposed to the 20 people showing up for biden rallies, i have to wonder what i should believe.

do i believe my lying eyes or am i totally messed up?.

I will also mention I think there is a total realignment going on right now in US politics. The left and right are not what they use to be. I myself have voted alot for Dems in the past but have moved to Republicans in more recent history. Trump has changed some of this but there's more to it than that.

Dems have changed. I am visiting an area right now in a different region that has alot of old hippies in it. I see Biden signs but I also see alot of Trump signs. I have seen this in my home state as well. Libertarian leanings are what hippies align with more. These people vote more with Republicans now than they use to.

Democrats have become hippie wannabee not real hippies. Therefore, alot of the old hippie types really align more with the downhome conservative types. People who like taking care of themselves, garden, dislike forced vaccinations but believe in eating and living healthy.

In short Democrats are about more government and control in our personal lives and Republicans are about less government and less control in our lives.

This means some who use to speak of saving the world, peace, and etc. now just want to be left the hell alone.

Not to mention Trump has been awesome for manufacturing and construction jobs. Union workers prefer Trump. Maybe the leaders don't but the workers themselves do. Obama did nothing for NAFTA but Trump did something.

There are still lots of Biden supporters but I think predicting how this will all end is increasingly difficult!

I really don't trust the polls, especially after last election. All the mail ins are unprecedented which I think changes alot. I think this election will be close but we will just have to see how it adds up in the end.

tomorrow is the anniversary of 9/11/2001.

i hope we never forget what happened that fateful day and learn from what happened.❤️.

Realbavman

Yeah, never forget! I can't believe how little has been said about this on the regular news! I never was a fan of going into Iraq but when it comes to 9/11 I say "never forget "! Always be vigilant and watch out for the unusual. Knock down those who would attack our homeland. It's so sad to see the disunity in the country right now because right after 9/11 we could not have been more united!

So the elders gave my 19 year old daughter a shepharding call depression ensues!

by nowwhat? in

against our wishes she got baptised at 16 because she got brainwashed by her cousin.

the last year or so she hasn't been so gung ho about the "truth".

anyway the elders came down on her for not getting her time in the last couple months because she absolutely hates zoom letter writing.

Realbavman

Yeah, time to call the police or get a lawyer!

JW Broadcasting: The new TV hucksters

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

w88 4/1 pp.

15-20. christendom exposed as the promoter of false worship.

7 now, in the age of television, we have tv preachers exploiting that medium with every kind of theatrical trick and psychological device to beguile the masses and empty the pockets of the flock.

I should send them a bill for all the pioneer hours I spent while believing the end would surely come before the year 2000. Also, a bill for college, at least 2 year college since I passed that up to follow their lies. Also, a bill for the divorce and child settlement costs and "pain and suffering " since I based my whole life plans on the words of those hucksters. It would also have been nice to have a real honest talk with my parents about this.
