  Attn faders/lurkers re donations

  by Skinnedsheep in

  when you get your anonymous survey pledge an exorbitant amount.

  the elders will make the resolution based on the fake pledge and it will create conflict between the branch and the cong....when the donations don't come in the branch be like "pay the man".

  the local body will have to have several local needs parts which will highlight the branches focus on money.

  Longhairgal - I think the first poll is anonymous, no legality there, but I certainly won't be signing my name to ANYTHING...

  Want to know why people accept evolution ?

  do you have questions about or want to understand evolution?

  it is a difficult concept to communicate and so if it is not explained well , it is understandable that we would dismiss it.. i sincerely want to talk with people who want to learn more or see what all the fuss is about.

  we are all learning and increasing our knowledge all the time and it is good to go over facts with critical eye.. evolution we can discuss, looking at the foundational facts and evidence, one at a time for you to go and check, agree or disagree with and return.. no pressure to accept it, you can decide for yourself, also no mocking etc of what you have to say.. .

  Is this new donation arrangement for real?

  by nugget in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just read a post on jwsurvey about the new donation arrangement.

  congregations are to pledge a monthly amount to be sent to the society to fund the building of assembly halls and kingdom halls.

  congregations who already have a loan from the society will no longer have to pay back the loan but the amount pledged should not be less than the current monthly repayments to the society.

  Man. I HOPE the extended measures actually happen, people can gloss over lies and reason away misinformation, but they'll soon notice their wallets getting thinner. SUSPICIOUS - I was going to put a big fat zero on mine but your idea is brilliant, over inflate the figures, put a nice high amount, let's all mess with them!

  Why do I bother to wake up in the morning?

  i'm not suicidal just fed up.. i did think of suicide (briefly), but as there is no painless way and it's not something i would willingly do just in case things would have been better the day after.

  i do have a slight grain of hope.. money problems.....problems at home (that's another matter with a son up court for something he is adamant he didn't do.

  first offence but the pigs police and the cps have got charges made.

  Dude. You bring much happiness to all on here, to your audience when you play, to your gf (I hope), so do what you got to do to be happy, play more, be a bit selfish, you deserve it man!

  I don't find this stuff amusing anymore

  i would just like to get this off my chest.. during the public talk last sunday the speaker (bro holden m'groin) said in public talk: .

  " if you ask any 16yr old girl what she wants out of life, she would probably say a home, a family etc etc" (because obviously this is still 1955).. anyway that got my attention i thought " hmm....where is he going with this?"..

  bro holden m'groin goes on .

  Its funny how the simple everyday pleasures of civil society such as talking to an old friend or wishing someone a happy seasonal holiday become BADASS when youre out mentally!

  Crazy situation eh?

  EX JW Podcast

  by snare&racket in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am setting up a podcast (radio show) where we will cover the issues of jw's, amongst the topics of science, belief and more.. i am letting you guys know because i would like to interact with the forum as we do them, looking for suggestions for topics, looking for guest ideas and also we can mask voies and change names, so interviewing current jw's to help provide people a voice, an outlet for their frustration whilst providing a safety net.

  there is no hierarchy, but current elders, bethelites etc that contribute here already will be more than welcome and protected!.

  the podcast will be pro science, i will have both atheist and theist co-presenters in the episodes but i can't deny my bias towards evidence and science, but hopefully it should be enjoyable and informative for us all.. i plan for it to be about 2hrs long, maybe an episode a month or every 2 or 3 weeks.

  How did I miss this thread ?

  Awesome idea matey, ill be an avid listener at least.

  I agree with the science 101, or at least have a 101 section in there. Robert Price has an 'up to speed' section in 'the human bible' where he goes right back to basics for new listeners and the uneducated.. i need that!

  This generation and a key weasel word

  by Socrateswannabe in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in this past sunday's watchtower lesson, which has been discussed at length on this board, the gb/writing committee used a key weasal word that we will probably see again.

  the exact quote is: "we understand that in mentioning 'this generation,' jesus was referring to two groups of anointed christians.".

  this goofy teaching is merely a patch until they can devise something more plausible, or until some event occurs that they can latch onto that will make this teaching more acceptable to the r&f.
