it's bad enough that jws waste valuable, life-saving minutes getting coffee, but now this happens.... http://www.starbucks.com/careers/college-plan.
so many dubs work at starbucks!
this is a dangerous situation that must be from satan!
There will soon be a 'cartoon' video showing brothers and sisters 'thinking' about that $4 cup of coffee at Starbucks, but then rejecting the idea and instead putting the $4 into the contribution box at the kh to "further kingdom interests" (so that the gb can instead enjoy a $4 cup at Starbucks).

when i left witness land in the early 90's, i remember hearing that out of 144,000 anointed members that there were only 8 to 9 thousand left and then the end will come.. i'm suddenly curious.
the jw organization is one that puts emphasis on tracking, i.e., regular meeting attendance, current standing, field service hours, territory tracking, return visits, etc.
therefore, did the society ever try to track each and every member of the 144,000?
The gb knows everything about the CO's, COBE's, pioneers, MS's, missionaries, etc, but nothing about the so called"brothers of christ"? Friggin ridiculously stupid.

not sure if this subject has been covered recently but i thought i'd make this observation anyway.... i remember when the word "gluttony" was a frequently mentioned sin in public talks, in the wt publications, in convention talks, etc.. in fact, in the 80's and 90's it wasn't unusual to hear the words "gluttony" and "disfellowship" mentioned in the same sentence.
i haven't been to a meeting in over 5 years, so i'm not sure if they still harp on the subject of gluttony or other excesses.
but i can't help but notice how much heavier the gb 2.0 has become compared to previous regimes.
But remember that jehober loves the smell of FAT burning. It's a "restful odor" to him. LOL

i am currently having to spend a little time waiting for an appointment in the vicinity of a central london station.
whilst waiting i am catching up on some work in a cafe.
i can see a couple of trolleys and have been watching them for around an hour now.. not one person has stopped to take literature.
The trolley work is preparing the rank and file for when the trolleys will be used to sell(on a donation basis of course) 'theocratic' tacos or 'spiritually enriched' coffee and donuts. The borg has to raise money somehow.

i've mentioned it in a few threads, but i'd like to make it a thread of it's own.. i'm going to make the prediction the gb will schedule a new meeting once a month, starting in jan 2016, for watching the jw broadcasting program.
at the moment it's up to each cong to organize a viewing, but soon the gb will take over the arrangements.. i make this assumption based on the fact that they know that a substantial quantity of pubs are not tuning in every month.. by scheduling a meeting once a month, it's easier for the gb/elders/organisation to gauge how many people are watching, and to make sure everyone is fully indoctrinated with what the gb are saying.
it will also keep the rank and file busy busy busy.. if i was a cult leader, that's what i would do.
Today jw's have less and less meetings and they are of shorter duration (thank gawd), it reminds me of the scripture that the dubs used to get all of us to attend the endless string of meetings.
Hebrews 10: 25 " not forsaking our meeting together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the MORE so as you see the day drawing near."
Well the end must not be drawing near as we meet less and less!
once a month about 15 to 20 elderly jw publishers would meet at the kingdom hall and one elder was assigned to set up the system so they could view jw broadcasting.
these publishers were long time pioneers, former elders, and long time publishers who know nothing about computers or the internet.
they are the last batch of those expecting the generation that saw 1914 or understood it--- to not die off.
James 1:27 27
"The form of worship that is clean and undefiled from the standpoint of our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation, ...........
So much for what the bible says about older women!

back in the early 70s, right before 1975 we had about 7 or 8 thousand professed anointed.
cant remember the exact number.
but at every convention we were told that the end is close ---because---the number of anointed is getting smaller and smaller.
They are the offspring of previously "anointed" ones that are waiting in 'limbo' to find out if they are really "anointed" or not. Kinda of like "overlapping anointed".

the wts teaches, that from 1914 onward, a sign has been evident, which is proof of god's kingdom.
jw profess to see that sign.
a "sign" means evidence from god.
The "sign" was invisible also!

"The last days", "great tribulation", "final war", the "great day of god almighty", etc, are they not "overlapping" signs?
