David was a nice guy when we knew him. But a company man all the way. Was a pet of Karl Klein. Haven't spoken to him in years now.

If you can get past the concern for any gas issues (get a carbon monoxide alarm) I vote for gas. Easily controlled heat.... when it's on high it's high, low is low. I changed from electric a number of years ago and won't go back.

Watchtower/Bethelite Volunteers and US Self Employment or FICA Tax?
by EnlightenedEphesian inwith so many aging bethelites being "laid off" after years of volunteer service, what hope do they have of collecting any social security retirement?
i ask because i recently learned that my mother will not receive any government retirement benefits because she did not work enough to collect the 40 credits required.
this got me to thinking about bethel volunteers.

At one time the SSA tax was paid from the annual PEA (personal expense account allowance) and the Society had to pay matching funds. As I understand it this was one of the reasons for instituting the Vow of Poverty, so that Crooklyn would not be required to make payments any longer.
A pock on all their houses. Cheap bastards.

New Letter from the GB
by Coded Logic indear brothers and sisters,.
it has come to our attention that many you, especially in the developed world, have chosen to outfit your homes with artificial lighting.
while there is nothing wrong with husbands wishing to see more clearly while studying - or for sisters to want to add some extra lighting when cleaning the home - we need to be careful how we choose to use this technology.

New Watchtower - Can You Look Beyond Outward Appearances?
by ttdtt inhow ironic that they have asked jws to not look past - tight pants - so called "affectations" - beards - long hair - short hair - and like 1000 other meaningless and trivial things.. https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/watchtower-study-june-2017/can-you-look-beyond-outward-appearances/.

For 14 years Don periodically witnessed to this homeless person? The homeless don't generally stay that long in an area. Bet Don never made any effort to get this man some help. Typical JDub answer to everything, give them a Watchtower and tell them to "go be warm and well fed".
I don't believe a word of this story. And this is the only experience they can dig up, one about a 'Truth' book?

New light in this weeks WT?
by Indian Larry inanybody have any ideas where they are going with the "new light" they have been pushing last week and this week?
for instance in this weeks study article one section reads:.
in years gone by, we believed that jehovah became displeased with his people because they did not have a zealous share in the preaching work during world war i. we concluded that for this reason, jehovah allowed babylon the great to take them captive for a short time.

Welcome to the belief of the month club. Can the dubs ever decide what they believe? Oh, I forgot..... Carl Klein explained it years ago..... tacking. Sounds tacky to me.

My copy says:
1969 Edition 532,917 copies
1971 Edition 500,000 copies
I remember the excitement at the release of the first part and everyone wondering if the end would come before they finished the whole thing.
Didn't we have parts in the "Ministry" school from the book?

So the sheeples paid for the "well maintained" work out of pocket and now the land barons of the Watchtower take the money and run.
