Are we on the brink of another world war?

by slimboyfat in

i don't want to be an alarmist or anything... .

but i read this article in the economist today that argued it is only a matter of time until china and japan exchange shots over some small islands in between the two countries, it could escalate to full scale war, and the united states is treaty bound to come to aid of japan.

on top of that the united states is making diplomatic visits to various countries borderning china in a move that is viewed extremely negatively in beijing.

nothing new here...plently of new/modern/progresive churcheshave little jingles and songs, special things for kids etc etc.

It's not 'culty' in any way shape or form. Reminds me of little house on the prairie...a bit sickly sweet

I believe that the God of the OT is the same as the Father of Jesus in the NT, but He became much more civilized as ages went by because of his dealings with other intelligent beings, angels and humans.

Oh...and what about the now enlightened jehovah, the now civilized jehovah and his plans to blot out most of humanity?

any info on becoming an ordained minister

by fakesmile in

does it vary by state?

can i use my jwness on a resume?

is there a test?

Aussie Oz

Can't you just do some online course and 'voila' an ordained minister!

But why bother? Just print yourself out a neat little diploma and call yourself one.

After all, all the Jws are ordained ministers and they dont even have a fancy bit of paper...

JEHOVAH NEEDS YOUR MONEY FOR 2014!!!!!!!!

by DATA-DOG in

has anyone else recieved the letter from the gb about international conventions in 2014?

according to the letter the missionarys/order of full time servants desperately need to get to the conventions in their homeland.

so to accomplish this, jehovah needs 15 cents per publisher, per congregation for some months ( sorry i can't remember the exact length of time ).

Aussie Oz

It always intrigued me, but never bothered me when these type of letters were read out. So suckered i guess that the warning bells had padding on them i guess.

But I always knew that the elders would do exactly as per the letter, add up the numbers and make a resolution to the congregation who would of course ALL raise their hands in support.

The WT masters have long known that all they have to do is ask and they SHALL receive. Nobody dares to not obey. It is one giant cash cow. The WT just passes on every itty bitty cost back to the single publisher just like any other business.

I mean, how are they going to stay comfortable if they have to pay for it themselves?

what an evil bunch...the 70000 probably deserved do die for some undesclosed sin anyway, so it was ok.

holy shit man, thats messed up thinking. how could my mother have fallen for that? I wish i had seen the glaring inconsistencies mant years ago.

You know, it makes me think of a father that comes home from work, lines up all the kids and belts the crap out of them, because they must surely have done something horrid that day that deserved it.

re: thirty-hour quota for auxiliary pioneering.

Aussie Oz

Talk about desperation...and splitting hairs!

why even if the aux pio last day falls on the evening of the co visit...can still attend the meeting with all the other pioneers.

How many i wonder lost their 'privlege' of being a regular pioneer and MS etc for falling short on their hours, only to find that even the next month a letter could come along reducing the pioneer hours below what they were getting in the first place.

truly remarkable how jehovah keeps shifting boundaries on his people.
