    Ecc 10:19 Bread is for the laughter of the workers, and wine itself makes life rejoice, but money is what meets a response in all things.

    OR the brand new NWT released this year.... "Bread is made for laughter, and wine makes life enjoyable, but money answers EVERY need."

    Indeed. Watchtower has liquidated a lot of properties for cash. Where is the money going? Most likely to the Governing Body Disaster Preparedness Fund. Because their EVERY need is more important than anything else.

    I guess you could throw away the rest of the Bible and just keep that verse- then the Bible would make sense... There really isn't much more to life than sex & money at the end of the day, IMO.

    And let's not forget about the wine making life rejoice.

    It all seems so contrary to the messages. So JWs should earn a college degree to get more money? And if somebody tells you otherwise, you can show them this verse.

    Wow, it's funny how a different translation can reveal a whole new meaning to a verse.

    "...money is what meets a response in all things" is such an obfuscated way of translating that verse.
