  Whilst a JW did you play the National Lottery & would you have donated anything if you'd won?

  i played for a couple of years as part of a syndicate.

  (naughty me hehe!

  ) didn't see it as gambling but as purely a game of chance.

  I worked at a convenience store. My dad instilled in me the dangers about gambling. He used to own a store that had poker machines. One day he saw a man come in and spend his entire paycheck he just cashed next door in his machine. The guilt overcame him and he got rid of the machines.

  While I have no problem with people spending a dollar here and there, it pains me to see people spend a lot of money on things like the three digit/four digit number drawings, especially when it was clear they really didn't have the money to be spending on it. I still don't play the lottery, even after leaving the JW's.

  Although it does make me wonder why JW's are allowed to work at convenience stores when they sell cigarettes and lottery, but can't work at a casino.

  What Is The Most Absurd JW Belief or View?

  there are many silly doctines and viewpoints.. one of the strangest ones is the blood doctrine.. why anyone could logically accept this belief is beyond reason..

  The book of Revelation prophesied conventions back in the early 1900's... but not in order.

  I found something in Watchtower literature I can agree with.

  by Indian Larry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i ran across this excerpt from studies in the scriptures vol iv.

  in it russell rails on as to why you should not tie youreself to any organization.

  in a way he unknowingly predicts how the watchtower would turn against real "truth seekers" in their own organization, (quite possible the only prediction he ever got correct) and then goes on to show how the deluded witness just can't see how they can have a relationship with christ without a earthly organization.. .

  Yeah but the WT got new light so Russell was full of crap. Oh wait, he founded the religion? And the WT says that when we are deciding to celebrate holidays or join religions we should look at the origin of the religion? *HEAD EXPLODES*

  actually, i think creating conspiracies is one of the primary products of modern government.

  if citizens aren't responsible and involved enough, then crafted lies follow.. .

  The problem I have with most conspiracy theorists is that there is usually some level of truth to what they are saying... but then they go over the top and discredit themselves. The truth is usually somewhere in between the "official" story and the "conspiracy" story.

  You Don’t Have the Right to Remain Silent

  some more of your rights just went down the toilet:.

  you dont have the right to remain silent.

  as discussed in boston bomb investigators kill florida man the issue of confessions is extremely important.. this is more evidence of how dangerous it is to remove important safeguards in the legal justice system:.

  That lawyers point is my exact point when people say the NSA spying on all of us isn't bad unless you have something to hide. Just because you don't have anything to hide, doesn't mean they won't use something you have done or said against you.

  Are you kidding me? There is still a ton of stuff that is made with lots of human intervention. Only problem is all those jobs are shipped to places like Indonesia and China because "job creators" aren't interested in creating jobs in America.

  That's awesome! Tell him to not let it go to his head.

  There was a sister in our circuit whose husband was a cop. I was pretty young at the time, maybe 6 or 7. He would come to the assemblies and I'd always say "Officer Mike, are you packin' heat?"
