I wonder how difficult it will be for them to revitalize the general populace of dubs into getting back to the KHall and out banging on doors? The longer people go the more acclimated they become to staying home.

He stands and spouts the scriptures ad nauseam and is happy for the destruction of people, but forgets his own remake of the Scriptures.
(Ezekiel 33:11) Tell them, ‘“As surely as I am alive,” declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, “I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that someone wicked changes his way and keeps living. Turn back, turn back from your bad ways, for why should you die, O house of Israel?”’
To quote the words of the old Bethel protestor Mr. Coffee, "liars, false prophets".

partisans are tribes warring on truth.
i decided to see what i could find out historically and this is what i've come up with.

It seems everyone in government is only out for what they can get and the public be damned. Pork barrel politics, back door deals and downright fraud. This postal thing is just a tip of the mess. Thanks for assembling all the details.

I look back at the history of the USA. The Boston Tea Party was a protest, but was followed by the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the success of which depends on which side you're on. How about Rosa Parks and the bus boycott? It worked, but again the opinion depends on which side of the issue you're on. How about the Vietnam era protests? Remember the shootings at Kent Sate and the outrage that followed? The Stonewall riots? The US has had a torrid history of protests, marches and insurrection. Did it help or hurt? Again the opinions of success or failure are as varied as the Florida weather.
The demonstrations of today appear to me to be like excuses to cause trouble, but again that's my opinion. Some of these folks are genuinely disturbed over things like the killing of George Floyd, but others are sent in to stir up unrest. It seems foolish to me to tear down historical relics. For sure there are relics, monuments, statues, and so around the globe to fit every variety of hate and dislike. For certain things will be changed, but will it be for the better? A seer I'm not.
I'm reminded of a statement I've seen around for a while, "just because you are offended or irritated by something doesn't mean you're right."

Watchtower Greek where the mumbo meets the jumbo
by Terry intake a look at this photo of a now long extinct publication!ain't she a beauty?.

Didn't you just love those old WT studies where they had Greek and Hebrew words? Most of the readers at the meeting never bothered to make any effort to find out the proper pronunciation. At one point I wrote the teaching and writing committees and suggested that if we were to continue to put such words in the Watchtower, why couldn't they at least put in the phonetic pronunciations as well. Of course they never bothered to respond.

Oh my... i had to go see where mine is as it's time to get it out, I use it as a go bag during hurricane season for all our important documents and such. I've never been able to bring myself to pitch it mostly because I love good leather stuff and I paid a lot for it 20 or so years ago. It was the last of several generations (not overlapping) of bags that got worn out.
Thanks for the walk down memory lane.
