Vicki Boer and Donations
by hillary_step inif any of you wish to kindly make donations to vicki boer, we are formulating a vehicle to attend to this as we speak.. we have been in touch with vicki, who is understandably deeply distressed at the turn of events that have forced her to relive much of the trauma which she hoped that this court case would put to rest, and are wresting a plan which would allow her to receive personal donations aimed at her well-being rather than enriching either the wts or her advisers.. an address will be forthcoming shortly, together with a paypal email address which will allow you to send your donations or well-wishes to vicki, scott and the girls.
it will not be a canadian address or bank account.
there are a number of important points that any donators would need to assess before donating any cash:.

If your still-JW parent died...
by starfish422 inwould you attend the funeral/memorial service?
assuming that it would be held in a kh; or even if it wasn't.. this is something that's been on my mind lately; honestly, i'm not sure why.
my parents are both still relatively young; 60 and 61. my dad has been diagnosed with skin cancer but both are otherwise healthy.. i really don't know whether i would; particularly for my father.

Troublesome Trinity Verses Part 10
by hooberus inthe watchtower and other unitarians use scriptures that say that all things were "through" jesus christ in order to reduce him to being less than god.
they reason that since all things are "of" the father and "through" the son that therefore the son is not also jehovah with the father.
those who believe in the deity of jesus believe that both the father and the son are jehovah (though different persons within the one jehovah).
