Blimey - and as a 'youth' I was taught the C of E is the biggest landowner in England - storing up treasures on Earth (while the Watchtower is a pauper). English JWs, I'm sure, won't be aware of the WT's 'property' in USA. Funny how they're ok about profiting from 'Worldly' people, while at the same time condemning them.

My Letter to local Newspapaer - Your Feedback Please?
by cofty inmy local congregation has been in the news this week following a successful application for planning permission for a quick build.
a local vicar objected because the application described it as a building for "christain worship".. .
vicar fury at new home for jehovahs .

Love it Cofty - good luck! Pointing out the d'fing and subsequent shunning certainly supports Rev Knox's statement of 'not Christian' and hopefully, when your letter is published, readers will be able to see this.

WOULD THE WATCHTOWER ACCEPT A LARGE FINANCIAL BEQUEST FROM A DISFELLOWSHIPPED JW'S ESTATE?
by steve2 ini ransacked entire dusty volumes of watchtowers in search of an answer to this vexing question.
imagine that a jw has been disfellowshipped for apostasy .
would the watchtower accept such bequests?.

Why not 'test the water' - I'm sure some brave soul can contact the WT and state they ''wish to leave their property to a charity - the WT being their first choice, because, although they were disfellowshipped 3 years ago for apostacy/something unforgivable, they would like to name the WT despite never intending to return and would this acceptable..?''

Upon studying 'The Midwich Cuckoos' at school, a classmate remarked that I must be a Midwich Cuckoo as I have yellow eyes. It stuck throughout Grammar School.

"A girl looting Currys was heard shouting "We're getting our taxes back" when she was confronted about what she was doing".
I find it hard to believe that any of this scum have actually ever paid taxes.

Meetings at the Kingdom Hall are TRUE worship!
by punkofnice in...or so i used to think.. what is worship?.
not sitting listening to wtb$ corporation propoganda which is more a sales seminar than worship.. not giving talks, sermons or demonstrations designed to make you better sales persons in field misery for the benefit of your reputation when the elders jusde you.. not constantly being hypnotized to believe i am not good enough and must do more or my imaginary friend in the sky will lovingly kill me soon (terms and conditions apply and are subject to 'overlapping').
not answering from a hi-lited piece of litter-trash at indoctrination sessions designed to make you better recruiters so the gb can have power and money.. if i were god i wouldn't consider 7.5million sheeple obeying 7 power trippers in brooklyn worship to me.....idoliary, yes.

So true. I attended the Memorial this year, and the one song that I recall sung every time on this ocassion (can't think what it's called at the moment...it'll come to me) has had the tune changed for the worse. Perhaps the Congregation were starting to enjoy singing it? In contrast, I can think of many hymns that are 'uplifting' and sung with passion.

So the outcome could set a Precedent and further prosecutions could take place in other Australian states..? (I'm just thinking outloud and marking thread, lol) There is a certain irony about the $144,000 fine for each of the 35 cases - wasn't 1935 the original 'cut off' date for the 144,000 ?

I've always thought the 'annointed' are delusional. JWs tend to have a leaning toward 'mental illness' (the amount I know who are on 'medication'...sheesh)...so I believe it's just another area of mental illness.
On the 'entertaining' side - there are members of the annointed who haven't been born yet, lol.

You've obviously thought about it - you know what you want - so why not go for it (IF you're really sure) ? 42 is the new 30, lol.
