  David Splane's 2020 Conventionl talk ....''Jehovah has to come first''

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  '' has your desire to put jehovah first been tested during this pandemic?

  you lost your job and you searched for another one.

  finally, after a long search, you found one but it was a job that would require you to miss all your meetings and field service.

  Trying to glorify the unemployed but faithful, so that sinful meeting-missing, paycheck-drawing fiscally responsible members will support them.

  Does Anybody Here Sympathize With The Looters That Cause Destruction?

  by minimus in

  i realize some here are diehard democrats.

  whether you are democrat, republican or independent, do you support any of these looters that cause mayhem and destruction for their cause?

  i have heard some people sympathize with these law breakers saying they understand why they do what they do and leave it at that.. of course i wonder how they would feel if their own property was burnt or stolen or destroyed..

  Lots of comments on twitter and elsewhere from ones who support, endorse and enjoy violent destruction of property, include the belief that it's perfectly fine because property is insured and property is replaceable.

  Reminds me of the murderers who say they are doing victims a favor, helping them get to heaven.

  Destroyers don't stop to check with property/business owners first to see if they're ADEQUATELY insured for total replacement value or if their insurance is in effect yet; they don't first make sure that the person's insurance will pay in time to get the business going before lack of income ruins the owner. Not many people I know of who run a business have a pile of cash to cover lack of income.

  There are so many factors involved in getting a business ready to open. Really each commercial enterprise is a miracle mix of luck in finding loans and investors, incredible amounts of patience and hard work. I feel so very sad for all the terrible loss that business owners, their families, employees, customers are going through. And don't forget the loss of all the taxes they were generating.

  I'm not any kind of educated economist or political expert. My opinions have developed from a lifetime of menial jobs as well as seeing what it takes to open a business - just a very small business. It's incredible that anyone tries to do it.

  How many religions teach that showing love for God means destroying people who don't believe their particular dogma? All of them.

  None of them believe in a human's right to control their own life.

  They ALL think that they are the only ones on earth who worship god correctly, which gives them the right to order other people to obey THEM. "God told me to tell you to obey me. Or else you're gonna die!"

  They are all insane, no exception. Constantly begging former members to return, just shows how badly they want the kudos and brownie points (recognition) from their bosses. Which in turn shows that probably you are never going to be as important to them as that recognition from the congregation.

  hi folks.. i put this in practices as i thought that appropriate.

  perhaps it should be in scandalous behavior.

  not a big deal but an example of the cult-ish intimidation and behavior.. at the end of this mornings short wt review prior to the convention brainwash by jackson, ( melbourne australia) the elder stated "brothers we have a resolution to present to the congregation".

  So by NOT raising your hand, you've committed to pay a part of $750 a month. By NOT agreeing, you have agreed. Only raise your hand if you DON'T agree!! Incredible! Is that even legal?!

  The other thing is, they are contributing to the worldwide work, but there's no worldwide work even happening! Talk about redistribution of wealth!!

  @wisdomfrombelow, very well said.

  Reminds me of one sister telling me constantly that if I didn't want to let my dog sleep in bed with me, then that meant that I don't like dogs. Just because I SAID I love dogs, and put water out for HER dog on a hot day when she neglected that little detail, didn't mean anything. The overriding factor was allowing dogs to lay right next to me.

  Who made her the authority with the right to decide which actions had what meaning? Which is what I wonder about all varieties of social movements.

  Who gives individuals the authority to decide and proclaim who is a racist and who isn't, based on nothing but their own preferred assumptions. One woman told me I have no right to speak, because I have never been abused just because of the color of my skin. Well how does she know that? And why would any assumption of hers be a valid reason to deny my right to speak? She is just going to decide that I'm a racist.

  What would PROVE me to be a racist?

  The riots started in Los Angeles 25 years ago this week - what a wild coincidence. The cops who beat the snot out of Rodney King were acquitted and all hell broke loose, just the same kind of thing as what's going on now.

  I'm curious - were any improvements or changes made in the policing methods as a result of the chaos and mayhem?

  I wrote to an editor of one of the L.A. newspapers and asked him to give me some direction of how to research the subject. I'm curious to see if anything got any better in their city; if they learned the lessons from wholesale destruction by outraged justice-seekers. Or was it just a useless horror.

  as sgt pepper sang, "it was 20 years ago today" ... that i made my first post on my first forum.. i obviously didn't put too much thought into what it should say although i must have burned 45 posts testing things and was too lazy to reset the counter before going live (?):.

  https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/46/welcome.

  but somehow, it worked and grew and here we all are, 20 years on.

  of all the things people decided they needed to stockpile for a potential quarantine.

  all of the stores around my area ran completely out of toilet paper this last weekend.

  people were piling it into their carts and vehicles as if they were going to be holed up for a year.

  It's Christmas after Christmas for wholesalers and retailers. But the news is not broadcasting the jolly dollar intake the way they do in December.

  Who else does the disaster benefit? I'm trying to follow the money.
