why are jw's not allowed to do certain things because they have "pagan origins", yet the very same roof over their head and the the food they place into their mouth is purchased through money with pagan origins on it?
pagan symbolism is all over money.
so if the wt leaders are so against paganism, why are they insisting "jehovah's" earthly organization needs pagan money to sustain itself, yet disfellowshipping members if they cross the line into paganism?.

hello, maybe someone on here can make some sense out of this:.
one of the reasons why jws are so quick to believe any changes from the gb is that they believe the light is getting brighter.

These are excellent questions to ask any JW. I suspect you'll get some bs answer like 'the lite getting brighter' or the stunned deer-in-the-headlights look.

LOL @ the vid. And congratulations! Funny, isn't it though, that Armageddon still hasn't arrived.
I remember being told I'd never have to go to high school because Armageddon was so close. Then one day, I'm sitting in one of my high school classes and it suddenly hit me. "Heeeey... I'm not supposed to be here."
But there I was.
