according to victor yarofeyev, who publishes a blog for a radio station in moscow, echo of moscow, the total value of the jw properties in russia is 1.9 billion rubles.

which converts to $31,956,955 us.

almost 32 million dollars.. yarofeyev speculates that, if the supreme court refuses the org's appeal on july 17, some of the jw's properties may prove difficult for the russian government to seize.

A rhetorical question: How much real estate did the first century congregation own? One more: Do Jehovah's Witnesses pattern themselves after first century Christians because I'm sensing a conflict,

I've Just Noticed Something About The "Remember The Wife Of Lot" Video

by pale.emperor in

maybe you guys got on to this right away, but i've just noticed something about the remember the wife of lot video.. we all know the scene where the judgmental jw dad gives that disapproving look to the girl who has lesbian parents:.

this look actually appears again throughout the video - but on other jws.

in the scene where the new brother is out in service with the former co. look at the new brothers reaction to when a "worldly" person knows the former co from work:.

I just saw highlights (thank-you) but did anyone notice that (as I saw it) Dad is only smiling when he is at the Kingdom Hall (where he appears REALLY happy)? Seems to me like a message that a CULT would want to deliver :0)

I did,

When I was 12 I was assigned at the Circuit Assembly to not let anyone in the back way, it was a safety concern as they were making donuts there, An older woman (apparently her first time) wanted to go through and I said no, She told her son to take her home, I felt terrible, the whole stumbling thing is ridiculous, :0)

Dealing with Elderly Parents Who Still Believe the jw Religion is the truth

by lancelink in

i left the religion back in 2008 right after my mother died,( the total lack of natural love/ affection was the final straw for me).. but my dad has become more and more focused on doing the wt bidding.. it just amazes me how he gushes on and on about the last days, his new bible studies, and meeting parts .

but yet he makes no effort to have any type of relationship with his grandkids, there are 5 of them , non are witnesses.

they are the children from several different sisters of mine, and myself.. so how do you deal with the witness stuff always being presented in conversations?.

Mom is 84, her life is like a tv show I saw about Jim and Tammy Bakker and the PTL Club, religion keeping old timers happy (and sending in the $$$) Mom has her meetings, during the day, study, phone witnessing and now, a la PTL club, JW TV!! So, surprise, surprise, when we talk what does she have to talk about? And as I'm inactive I'm pretty she counts time as well! So what do I do? Just shut up and try to be a good son and let her talk, I never engage and she doesn't expect it, I figure I'll be glad I let her go on after she's gone :0)
