Excuse me, but this is sickening (DA Contributions)
by winstonchurchill ina letter from the wts was just read to our congregation: during upcoming district assemblies, there will be credit card terminal available so people can donate using their credit/debit cards.. maybe it's old news, but i just found out last monday, and i find it terribly disturbing.
the wts/jw's is becoming more and more mainstream, not different at all form those churches that are only after your money... oh, wait!
maybe tey are only after our money.. .

Missing School Functions
by WTWizard ini know that the witlesses are not supposed to go to many school activities.
these include after-school sports and competitions, scouting, and other extra-curricular activities and class trips that may last beyond school hours.
the most cited excuses (flimsy they may be) are bad associations, the money, time, and the possibility of compromise.. now, i wonder how many people have missed field trips that happened during normal school hours because of being witlesses.

Why Do You Believe Elders Have Special Spiritual Powers? To J.W.s visiting or droping by!
by Bubblegum Apotheosis into brothers and sisters passing by, a note to think about:.
your elders and ministerial servants are just men, not prophets, not appointed by holy spirit, they are human beings like you.. you attribute or impute some quality to us that does not exist, we are not any close to god than you are.
the training we received did not prepare us for the kinds of situations we were thrown into.

by winstonchurchill inshe commented on how clear the blood components/fractions issue was stated in the new book (we studied it this week).

after a pause i asked her: "if i can eat potato, and i can eat beets, and i can eat carrots... then why can't i eat the whole salad?

Any Experience with Two Judicial Committees?
by dig692 inhi everyone, just wondering if anyone that is or was df'd before has any experience with moving to a new congregation and having to meet with their old jc and a new jc at their new hall?.
a friend of mine who is df has been trying to get back in to reconnect with her family and is having a really hard time with the reinstatement process.
she has been attending meetings at the new congregation for about a year now and has asked the new jc to meet to discuss her reinstatement.

Public Talk- ever refuse to give one ?
by wobble inwhen i was a minny man i was used to give p.ts home and away, this stopped when i asked to be given no more p.ts about 5 years before i left.
our p.o gave out the outlines and the venue in the old days, later another elder oversaw (is that a word?
) the business.. i refused to give one outline because it was such a load of rubbish, and i said so, our p.o then allowed me to go through the outlines and pick one i could do, not easy,took a lot of looking !.
