Truth or Rumor? - Disaster Relief
by Lady Lee ini have read quite a few times that the wts collects disaster relief from the governmental agencies that deal with relief.
the wts will help only jws with the funds they get and then after helping jws to rebuild, they ask for the insurance money from those they helped.. do we have proof of this?.
we do know that they have requested that jws not write that the donations they give for disaster relief have that written on their cheques.

WTS getting better prepared to handle AWOL witnesses?
by itsallgoodnow inunder the guise of being able to "find and aid" brothers who are displaced due to natural disasters in the gulf coast this summer, we are receiving great pressure to provide our elders with names, addresses and phone numbers of where we will be in case of evacuation.
i'd like to think it's because a few good witnesses in louisiana managed to become "lost" and what a way to escape!
i don't know if i'm just reading too much into it, but the pressure to provide the information is quite intense and it really makes you wonder.

Rwanda, Neutrality and Muslims - what about the dubs?
by acsot inwe have all read in the wts publications about how neutral the dubs were during the hutu/tutsi massacre.
i have no doubt that the majority of dubs remained neutral.
however, it is interesting to read how other major religions also helped each other out, as well as took risks to protect their neighbours.

Courtney Love's mommy had some pretty good advice...
by itsallgoodnow ini came across a really interesting article in psychology today magazine about courtney love's mother.
it's not so much about courtney, although i had no idea how she was, but it was more about how helpless she felt as cl's mother in that relationship, which has always been strained and there have been periods of being cut out of her life.
she talks about how we have these ideas about closure and control, which are really fantasy, but we need to "live with what happens to us" and focus on what we can do with the situation.

Nice article on Friendships, show it to a JW.
by Dragonlady76 ini read this article in a flyer i recieve, it's was written by the pastor of a local church.. i really enjoyed reading this, he uses scriptures from the bible on the importance of friendships.
i find it intereseting that other religious groups see the value and importance of friendships while dubs are always suspicious of one another ready to turn you in at the slightest hint wrongdoing, and will shun their bestfriend in a heartbeat if the borg asks them to.
the pastor makes it clear that the bible shows the importance of friendships in several places.

"I can understand the reluctance of people giving to religious groups...."
by TresHappy inthat's what evelyn in dallas said this morning on the local talk radio station.
however before evelyn was cut off by the talk show host, evelyn said she knew of an organization in new york that would spend their contributions wisely.
then the host asked what that was...that's the organization known as the watchtower society...then the talk show host asked her which group that was associated with them...she reluctantly said the jehovah's witnesses.. so there you have it folks, no organization will spend your contributions wisely unless it's the watchtower society, that is according to little ol' evelyn.
