I find it ironic"should you be charged for religious services"
by bobld insome of their comments.. leaders of professed christian religions charge a fee for religious services.these may include baptisms,weddings or funerals.. but does the bible support such customs of charging for religious services or even of making people feel obligated to pay.yet,at the same time,they professed divine backing.. in the time of micah,priests "instructed just for a price"jehovah was not a supporter,he detested their conduct.. today many religious leaders resort to the same greedy tactics.. however,jehovah's witnesses obtain needed funds through voluntary donations.they do not charge for their literature or religious.
services.they don't tithe or pass a collection plate.. tell me how this relates to their charging for c.a.
or sad now d.c..

by Glander ini was reading a novel by a british author, robert goddard.
i have read several of his books but in this one, "past caring" he spells the word "connexion" instead of "connection".

Are There ANY Prophecies or Beliefs That The Witnesses Have Right In Your Opinion?
by minimus inregarding prophecy, i see nothing that they've ever been correct on.
from my understanding, they've always had to change the "truth" about the "truth".. scripturally, i can't see the logic of a godhead or a loving father eternally roasting a person who is deemed "bad".. yout thoughts, please?.

The Predictions Thread
by cedars ini thought it might be interesting and fun to have a "predictions thread", where we set out our predictions for events to unfold concerning the watch tower society (or jehovah's witnesses in general) over the coming years/decades.. it strikes me that so much has happened in the last ten years, most of which has defied expectations.
here's just a few of the developments that i can think of:.
the abolishment of group book studies in favor of a "family worship evening"the creation of a "study edition" watchtowerthe halving of monthly magazine printing commitmentsthe unprecedented closure/merging of branches (16% reduction in branches last year)the menlo park scandal, a body of elders removed for resisting a refurb of their kingdom hallthe lawsuits in victoria, australia - the society taken to court concerning child protection lawscourtroom admissions about the faithful & discreet slave and similarities with the catholic churchincreased hate speech against "mentally diseased" apostatesastonishing lapses of judgment, such as the "selma and steve" study articlethe ditching of gilead as a school for missionariesambitious construction plans for a new world hq (with or without jehovah's blessing!
