  Pyramid Schemes - Melaleuca - MLM

  by NOdenial in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ok... this topic will probably get some people quite upset - but i am going to say it anyways.

  the topic of 'con artist types' in the borg reminded me of this issue.. where i come from in western canada and usa, there is a huge issue of dubs getting involved in melaleuca.

  there is one brother in the interior of british columbia that is making much more money in a month than most people make in a year.

  They sure don't listen to the counsel at the meetings. I seem to recall some years ago there was an article in one of their rags about not getting involved with MLM schemes. Also I agree with your analyze on a persons motives when they get involved in that crap. When they come over all friendly and say hello you always have to question their motives. I don't agree on how much they make. I know so many of them will brag about how much money their making but in reality something like .01% actually only make enough money to live on. He maybe tells you about what he makes before he has to pay out all his overhead and down line people. He probably doesn't make as much as he says he does.

  i?ve wanted one for a long time and i found one at a garage sale.

  it is fully functional and, according to the guy who sold it, from the 1940?s.

  it looks like it has all of its original parts too!

  Looks like a beauty. I don't know how much yours is but I have a 1936 Dictator, fully functioning. I like the sound from it. You do not get the same quality sound from the modern radios. I think you got a good deal to get it under a $ 100 and fully functioning. Enjoy

  WTS Bills US JWs $8.4 million for Traveling Overseers

  by ezekiel3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  being announced at service meetings this week at all us congregations:.

  a letter read during the announcements states that due to increased costs of health insurance and vehicles provided for traveling overseers (circuit and district overseers) the watchtower bible and tract society has determined the need to ask for a specific "contribution" for the "traveling overseer assistance arrangement".. .

  until this date expenses of this sort were paid from the worldwide work or general fund of contributions.. .

  Another money grab for the WT disguised as contributions. It would be a cold day in hell before I would give a penny to those freeloaders. It would be nice if they would get a real job like the rest of us.

  The person I voted for got in. Too bad we couldn't have voted out that stupid drunk they call our premier. Looks like the Green party played a part in some ridings, helping the Liberals get in. It will be an interesting next 4 years. Will

  I will be voting the same thing after work today, NDP and Yes for BC-STV

  There is no way will I vote for someone that wants to get rid of my job.

  I hear that the BC-STV won't pass because that is too bad. I think it would give us better representation.

  Further, it is well-written and would appeal to reasonable Witnesses.

  That is the key here but as soon as the "apostate" flags go up in the average Jdub brains, they will not read it.

  Never seen it and good luck trying to reform the organization. The Jdubs are a close knit cult and if they get any wind that certain ones within the organization are trying to reform it, they will be DF'd to. It is all to do with control and those ones that are in higher positions want to hang on to that control and will do anything to keep it.

  Fight over finger found in custard

  by William Penwell in

  1. social
  2. current

  another cnn news item.

  i originally felt sorry for the fellow that bought the custard, only to find the remnants of a finger tip in it.

  i think any sympathy he had at first, he lost it by not giving the finger tip back to the poor worker that lost it so he could get it reattached.

  This is in my hometown by the way.... And I have never eaten at Kohl's nor will I ever now that this is the SECOND time someone has lost a fingertip.

  Makes me wonder why the place was not shut down the first time. Even though they were found not negligent the first time it is obvious that there is some problem with their safety standards there. I am sure this will be the end for that place. Will
