here is an idea i tested.
works at both assemblies and conventions.
i have noticed at the last convention and at my last assembly that when i opened up my wifi setting, tons of hotspots came up for people tethering their tablets to their smart phones.
Their only solution to this problem would be to either
a) Provide an "approved" Wi Fi infrastructure at assemblies (which would be cost prohibitive) or
b) Tell people not to use electronic devices at the assemblies, but that barn door already got opened and all the cattle are now loose.
I love it!
presidential hopeful ben carson of course.
this isn't another gun control debate, i just thought it might be fun to have a topic where we can dump all the hysterical quotes from the candidates.. it's a deep and plentiful mine folks!
.
“follow me around . . . it will be boring”
Gary Hart, Democratic candidate for President, when confronted about rumors of womanizing. Weeks later, photo evidence emerged of womanizing, and he was out.
that was today's topic over a group chat of my cong's young jbots.
apparently the rumors are circulating everywhere i go, even people from the spanish congs are talking about it.
what's really sad is that the majority of people are already seeing this as "clear" signs of the end coming.
since this will be the norm in america, perhaps we should put a date on each of these topics.
can't really put school mass shooting because too many to choose from.
i very seldom receive a call from my jw siblings, i mean seldom.
i can count them on my hand in past 10 years.
while we talk about mom a lot and i am in touch with her, i was very surprised when i received this call.
The next time I hear this, I will challenge: "I will wager you a dollar against me mowing your lawn in Paradise for 2000 years that it will not happen."
Of course, JW's don't bet, but....
so, recently, i made a reconnection with a long lost jw friend.i first met her when i was about 12 or 13, and she was about 10.. she was a lovely young lady, very poised, very intelligent, a cut above the other girls in the hall.
easy to talk to.
i was in love with her.all the boys in the hall loved her.
Please keep in mind...
I am NOT looking for a romantic relationship in this. I am married, and I intend to stay that way. That ship that could have been had sailed decades ago.
I do care enough that I would like to see her happy, (which she seems to be) except a lot of that happiness is based on a fantasy, a lie that she has believed all her life.
As far as the food "tasting as Jehovah intended"- she is very much into organic, non-GMO produce, and feels that what eat now is not as it should be. (She's probably correct on that score.)
just heard from a reliable source that some at the canadian branch have received their lay-off notices under their doors at bethel.
don't know what the letter looks like.
probably something like, " the tribe has spoken, bring us your torches"
"I wonder how it felt to be the person who had to shove those letters under the door."
"Better them than me!"
" alarmageddon " .
this term came to mind as i thought of just how weird it is that witnesses actually look forward to seeing billions of people killed..... also, at how strange it is that the org has repeatedly tried to work out the date or time for it to happen.
(although they will deny doing this ...but the old publications and talks etc are there on record!
this letter will be read in all the congregations of brazil on the service meeting this week.
(google translation - original available)originala todas as congregacoesprezados irmaos:nao ha duvida de que jeova tem abencoado ricamente seu povo no mundo inteiro.
isso fica evidenteno aumento do numero de publicadores e no notavel progresso espiritual de nossa organizacao.
All I can say, if this is not enough to shock people into waking up, then nothing will. They will be just fine with rolling out the barrels of Flavor Aid laced with cyanide, drink drink drink, see you in Paradise!

Doubtful, but there is hope!
