  You get the best pizza in NYC. Grab it, hold it, fold it, eat it.

  That Chicago deep dish thing is like eating lasagna. Very good, but it is not pizza. If you need to make a reservation to a place and use a knife and fork, it is not pizza. Sorry.

  You don't know how much I would love to wear one and when you do the raise your hand thing and make a comment in the Zoom WT study, walking back and forth in front of the camera, yelling "I am Brother Cornholio, I need T.P. for my bunghole. Are you threatening me? Do not upset my bunghole."

  It's what dreams would be made of.

  could you guys believe this über borg 'friend' ?.

  he says that babylon has fallen because all of the coronavirus restrictions (and the resultant less revenue) are gonna destroy them symbolically.

  so he thinks this are the last, of the last, of the last days.

  Yes you must not run ahead of the old slave

  2JoenB75 ...

  True. The old slave still has a hold on your hanging down parts and it will hurt like hell if you go too far ahead.

  When I was a kid, we went through that Babylon book at the book study more times than I wish to think about.

  That's when Freddie (Franz) was the guy who did the interpretations.

  I have about 5 copies of the books in various places in the house and storage, and I look at it now and think, "how did we do that?" For guys, sort of like wacking off with 100 grit sandpaper but in the end, was it worth it?

  i have no love loss for the gb or religion and this is not an apologist attempt.

  in fact i hate the religion and the gb.

  but i watch night after night young kids who's minds have been corrupted by the propaganda and dogma that modern college's are teaching them.

  Lesbian culture (Uh ok... I thought this was the 21st century

  @HowTheBibleWasCreated ...

  I would have taken that course when I was in college if there were a lot of good videos involved.

  so they smash up and burn their own neighbourhood

  @stan ...

  I really never understood that either. If I was that pissed at someone who lived in another area I would burn down their stuff, not the stuff in my own neighborhood.

  It's like having an argument with your neighbor and then going home and setting your own car on fire. Do you like go and get pissed at him and say, "See, look at what I did?"

  Or getting into fight with someone and you start to punch yourself in the face.

  I don't get it.

  Zoom meetings, how long ?

  by Phizzy in

  i was wondering two things, 1: how long in total are the zoom meetings, i presume the sunday one is the longest ?.

  and 2: if you use zoom for free, the session only lasts 40 minutes, so do they have an intermission so people can log back in, or are all jw's expected to pay for the "privilege" ?.

  The "Professional" version of Zoom is only about $15-20 per month. You have up to 100 attendees I believe and up to a 24 hour meeting.

  I really don't know what set off this powder keg around the country.

  - Trump

  - Election Year

  - Death of Gerald Ford

  - COVID-19

  - Unemployment

  The list could go on. It just seems difficult for me to understand why the shit hits the fan across the entire country.
  

  Many in the news (and Republicans) blame Democratic Governors in large cities. But that has been the way it is for many, many years. Things never seemed to blow up nationally like the way it is now.

  From reddit...How old were you when you became a publisher?

  i was six, not given any choice.

  i remember being in the old kh, and my dad told me the brothers wanted to talk to me in the back...i was terrified.

  i actually thought they knew i didn’t want to be a dub, my dad told them to just add me as a publisher, so no back room meeting.

  7 years old, born in. 4th generation.

  @Gorbatchov ....

  Yes, I'm 4th also. My great grandparents were into the CT Russell stuff.

  I remember several years ago at a "gathering", that came up for whatever reason when we came into the Troof. Some were giving dates, some second, third generation, I just said first generation.

  A brother that knew me pretty well said I thought you family had been in the Troof for may years. I said yes, but I was considering overlapping generations. I knew my great grandmother. She didn't die until I was 8 years old so we overlapped.

  The room got rather quiet.
