If Something Bad Happens To A JW, Are You Happy?
by minimus inevery so often, i read that some posters have such contempt for jehovah's witnesses, that they are happy when they hear that one died or suffered from cancer or some other disease or tragedy.
they rationalize things by saying, "jws are so corrupt that getting rid of them in any way is good!".
or, "i'm glad that this bad thing happened to them.

SHOW ME THE MONEY!
by conoroberst ini am an active (but leftfield) jw, who visits here periodically, one of the things that i have never understood is certain posters assertions that the wtbts is a money making scheme.. i was just wondering where these people think the money goes, has anyone here ever seen as ostentatious elder (in full time service) or gb member, or anyone who relies on the wtbts for their income with a rolex on?.
i havent, any elders or cos i have met with wealth are from their careers before going full time....all these people who quote the society's $1bn turnover seem to think some people are asking it in, if you do the math $1bn split between 6m supporters is really not much at all.... allll i would say is, show me the money :).

Words to Live By - What are Yours?
by pettygrudger inin trying to deal with the everyday realities of our existence, we usually pick "catch phrases" or principles with which we use to try & guide our life, growth & development.
in my case, the #1 thing that i try to live by is to take what is mine & own it.
yep, i didn't have the best circumstances growing up, and had some pretty crappy things that happened to me as a child.

Jehovah's Christian Witnesses??
by Junction-Guy in.
when i was a kid and on vacation in florida about 20 years ago, my dad had mentioned about an "apostate group" in florida and that it was called "jehovah's christian witnesses" supposedly they even had their own kingdom halls, how many others here are aware of this group and do they even exist still?
