    he mentioned that he works on the "RBC" committee to help build places of worship in his community

    I thought they were places to learn, not places to worship

    Jehovah's Witnesses now allowed to gamble/do lottery. Its official. LOOK. Page 136 of new secret Elders Flock Book: If a person makes a practice of gambling and after repeated counsel unrepentantly pursues a line of greediness, he could be disfellowshipped from the Christian congregation. However, elders would not want to get involved in what publishers do in this respect unless spirituality is endangered....

    A sister in my old hall was on wheel of fortune. This was back in the early 80's when the show was really hot, she won the equvalent of about $25,000.

    She was the daughter of a promenent elder, so yeah, gameshows are A-OK.

    I saw the show and picked up on the "RBC" comment. I kind of figured it out after he said he had a cleaning business and worked at a restaurant. Poor guy didn't win much.

    No aSphere,

    Just because she's an Elduh's daughter doesn't give her a pass, she didn't wait on Jehovah

    she went on a gamblin' show

    I think it was the CA in 2008 that there was a symposium that warned against watching game shows because of the snare of materialism. It was a genuine WTF moment. I know sir82 posted a thread on it but I can't find it, hopefully he will chime in on this thread.
