so i went to the international convention.
nice.
the org.
The Mormon church receive 10% tithing but i have met many members that because of a loss of a job or not collecting enough social security, the church will pay their rent or mortgage and provide food and try to find jobs for their members.
The watchtower, GB does not do a damn thing for their people.

i have come to a startling and sad realisation!.
i have no real friends!.
i have always been extremely active in every aspect of the org, since childhood.
We all lost all our "friends" once we pulled away. Wife left because of me being an "apostate"and was all alone.
Joined "meetup.com" and was able to connect with people that had same interest and now have many friends, more sincere than any witness in KH.
It will get better...Good luck to you

A kingdom hall could have been built some place in Africa for the praise and honor anf glorification of Jehovah's name. :)

thanks..
Did you turn it off and back on again?
it was a long time coming for me.....when i read about the extened generations, after being raised on1914 being the be all end all, and millions would never die....that was the end.
i was part of the 1975 fiasco, the 6 month only truth book studies, suffered through a disifellowshipping and their version of a rewind.
i finally am free and hope others can eventually look in instead of inside looking out!
A few years back the GB encouraged publishers not to do any research on their own because what they were getting from the society was enough and truthful.
Paul said "To prove to yourself the good and acceptable will of God" and " To make sure of all things"....not according to the watchtower.
Freaking idiots

Oh yes , Jehovah continues to bless his organization with increase.
out of interest, and to formulate a cordial chat, would you give your top one reason for your belief or non belief?.
my foremost 'one reason' for non belief is:.
the historical evidence that provides an explination and timeline for how the modern religious doctrine's and dogma developed over time.. .
Nature tells me it was created and nature also tells me a loving God would have it done differently...animals eating other animals in order to survive.
No one knows, people beliefs are all made up.
If there was a loving Father in the heaven he would have communicated differently with us to let us know what he wants and how it all happened.

"the transition zone can hold a lot of water, and could potentially have the same amount of h2o [water] as all the world's ocean.".

i figured when people read this that there will be those claiming proof of the flood story.
God destroys mankind in the flood and in his wisdom keeps "Satan" and imperfect Noah and his family to populate the earth with the same crappy, wicked people. What did he accomplish?
It's been proven a was a local flood and in the eyes of those living back then, not having CNN and MSNBC it would definetely be global.
SSPO
as the title says, please list what you find annoying with the organization..
Just another dangerous religion that makes bigger claim than other religion.
1000's have died for this "true religion"
SSPO
being pushed by religion since the 17th century.
my question is why ?.
I cannot paste the info but google "dates of end of the world predictions" you will find that mankind has been talking and giving dates when it will happen for 1000's of years.
JW's are mentioned about ten times.
