barry: how is that working in Australia, $17.29 per hour? Is it closing the gap?
Question for you folks that live in states other the California and New York,
could you live above poverty on $15.00 per hour in your state?

Some economist suggest that the minimum wage imposes a wage floor that
prices cheap labor out of the market, reducing the pool of low-wage jobs.
Daniel Mitchell of the Cato institute a libertarian think tank, suggests that
"businesses are not charities and that they only create jobs when they think
a worker will generate net revenue". Sound like the WT...
If an employer needs someone to perform odd jobs, and he values the work
at $8.00 per hour, he will not hire a person if the minimum wage is $15.00 per
hour, thus keeping unemployment in low-wage brackets higher than it would
otherwise be.

Eagerly anticipating the death of billions!
by stuckinarut2 insurely someone who eagerly looks forward to the death of billions of people (including babies and children) is not emotionally healthy?.
yet, that is the key belief "happily" anticipated by witnesses.... food for thought?.

I wish they would be open about their teaching. WT publication April 8 12016 "8 billion will
die soon, we hope". At the doors, (JW's) we are praying for your destruction, your children's,
your neighbors, hell everybody except JW's...You must go before Jehovah usher in the paradise
earth. That is our message to you today. So die please, we are tired of waiting.

California, $24.000 for a family of four is the poverty line, so $15.00 an hour
is not that bad. But I can't see people living on that.

Across the U.S the minimum wages are $5.15 in Wyoming to $9.50 in DC,
average $8.00. Eve Montes in California pick grapes for $9.50 an hour and she
can't make enough to feed her family. Montes is part of a growing economic problem
in Calif. low-wage workers are getting poorer.
My question, why not move? A minimum wage of $8.00 would go a lot further in Arkansas then
California. If $15.00 minimum wage is passed here it California, in 2-5 years it will be same for
those folks. That gap will never close.
For you folks that live in another country, what are the minimum wage in your area, and has
the gap widen today.

Are we participants in this forum because of bouts of "loneliness"?
by Wonderment ini wonder how many of us here hold on to this meeting place out of "loneliness.
could it be that we harbor feelings of "abandonment" and "loneliness" from being left cold and dry by the wt people and our families?
perhaps we do have a need to reach out to people with similar experiences.

flipper: When you see others going through similar crap from the borg, you don't
feel so bad. My daughter is getting married next week, will I be present, NO I wasn't
invited. Why should I, I haven't seen her in over 12-15 years.

Immigrants to the U.S are increasingly identifying themselves as religiously
unaffiliated that is, atheist, agnostic or having "no religion in particular".
So there is a slow decline of religion across the board here in the US...

Recent announcement on literature placements
by dbq407 ini find it interesting that the other night they announced that literature is not to be left indiscriminately.
they said to only leave literature if the householder engages you in conversation.
it used to be that they would try to get any literature into every hand of every person.

Maybe they received complaints about the waste from sanitation workers. A lot of
trees are cut down for your worthless literature.
So I guess there will be no more mags in the laundromats, Dr. offices and public
transportation.

You folks that served in Bethel, were you young men told to sleep on your back?
This would prevent any sexual thoughts or prevent arousing the little fellow.

I also come here for research. I want to be ready to defend the faith or sharpen my sword
to dismantle their faith. I still have a large number of family in the borg, and when
the time comes I will be ready.
