  Does money buy happiness and a longer life? You decide...

  by Brock Talon in

  i poured over time magazine's sep 8-15 2014 edition article "who we are" and put together this spreadsheet on the results from their poll.

  i found the statistics quite fascinating.. most people would say that "money doesn't buy happiness", but this poll seems to me to indicate the exact opposite of that.

  it also correlates education levels with higher earning that result in that happiness.

  I think we should all consult the bible on this matter.

  In Ecc 10:19 it says, " A feast is made for laughter, wine makes life merry, and money is the answer for everything."

  So there you have it, money is the answer for EVERYTHING! :)

  Confirmation of the evi-ahem I mean faithful slave. A chatty cathy doll that says the governing body is the faithful slave that they can play for those moments they have doubts.

  A picture paints a thousand words, but ...

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  while i appreciate people like to post funny pictures from time to time i think it's sometimes gotten a little out of hand and has had a detrimental effect on some of the topics.

  while many of the pictures are humerous this isn't intended to be a meme site and there's a tendency for pictures to keep pushing the line and becoming more crude, gross or shocking.. i'd like to request people think twice before posting things like this.

  i'm not saying they are outright banned but please think twice before posting them - do they really futher the discussion any or do they detract from the conversation?.

  Incase you're thinking of stopping all of outlaws posts from here one, I like seeing them. I'm always curious with interesting topics what sort of joke and pictures outlaw can possibly come up with for them. I haven't noticed excessive picture/meme posts unless it's the past week or 2.

  since a previous thread is getting comments that this guy may become a new gb member, the topic above is worth pursuing.

  here's what i found out by searching so far---in other words, not much.

  surely others must know something about the guy.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/198944/1/william-malenfant-learn-from-me-mp3-trinidad-2010-zone-talk.

  WT asking people to sell and uproot life to help w/ temporary building projects...

  by EndofMysteries in

  check out the new jan 2015 study wt, article, they offer themselves willingly.

  they give examples of young and middle age brothers and sisters who are selling their dream homes, uprooting their lives, etc, to move to help w/ building branches, etc, and how they know it's only temporary but not worried about what happens when they send them home.

  they then say will you put jah to the test and see if he won't open the flood gates of blessings for you.

  Here are some direct quotes,,,,

  "Then we moved out of our 2,200-square-foot (200 sq m) dream home that we had built just a couple of years earlier and moved into our 270-square-foot (25 sq m) apartment. Making these changes,” says Cesar, “put us in a better position to accept an invitation to Bethel, should one come our way.”

  "For example, Way, an electrician, and Debra, both in their late 50’s, sold their home and most of their belongings in Kansas and moved to Wallkill to serve as commuter Bethelites. * Although doing so required making adjustments in their life, they feel that the sacrifices have been well worth it. "

  "Melvin and Sharon sold their home and belongings in South Carolina so that they could assist at Warwick. Even though these sacrifices were not easy to make, the couple feel privileged to be involved in such a historic project"

  "Most of those who have made themselves available had to overcome certain obstacles. For example, William and Sandra, who are in their early 60’s, were settled, enjoying their life in Pennsylvania. They had a successful precision machining company that employed 17 people. They were serving with the same congregation they had been in since they were little children, and most of their relatives lived in the area. So when the opportunity arose to serve as commuters at Wallkill, they knew that it would mean saying good-bye to almost everyone and everything familiar to them."

  "The construction projects at Wallkill and Warwick will eventually be completed, so those who have been invited to assist realize that their Bethel service is temporary. Are these brothers and sisters overly anxious about where they will go or what they will do? Not at all! Many share the feelings of two middle-aged couples from Florida.John, a construction manager, and his wife, Carmen, who serve as temporary volunteers at Warwick, say: “We have seen how Jehovah has cared for our specific needs up to this point. We reason that Jehovah certainly has not brought us here at this time only to abandon us later.”"

  "However, they put Jehovah to the test—just as he invites all of us to do: “Test me out, please, . . . to see whether I will not open to you the floodgates of the heavens and pour out on you a blessing until there is nothing lacking.”—Mal. 3:10.

  Will you too test Jehovah out and experience his rich blessing? Prayerfully examine what you can do to have a share in the exciting work at hand, whether in New York or on other theocratic building projects, and see firsthand how Jehovah will reward you."

  So......couple nearing retirement age with a business and assets to support the rest of their life get rid of it all. And many others did the same. What happens when they run out of the money from uprooting their lives, jobs, and businesses?

  Doesn't the bible say NOT to put God to the test? Have the GB no shame asking people to uproot their lives then leaving them in the gutter when things go bad for them?

  Jeez!!!

  Let's see how many end up jobless, run out of savings, etc, just to have the WT say, "Ask the relatives you are shunning for help", etc.

  The music video sounds like the contemporary christian music in modern churches. Maybe they will start playing these w/ a screen at the jw.borg buildings (no longer called kingdomhalls it seems) and the hopping balloon and people will be singing with their hands in the air like you see at those churches.
