What do you call a person who . . . ?

by Terry in

what do you call a person who keeps promising to do something for you--but won't get up off their ass and do it?.

what do you call a person who needs money from you all the time and doesn't pay it back?.

what do you call a person who keeps you waiting and waiting and then, they don't show up?.

Blues Brother, and Terry, I don't believe in all of the interpretations of men, or the GB. I don't even believe that I'm smart enough to interpret God to anyone. I just look at this planet, and wonder about how brilliant the Creator was. I think that we may be giving Him a bad rap.

What do you call someone who created the human race?

What do call someone who allowed the human race to exist and to prove that they are worthy of living on this planet without harming it?

What do you call someone who has the ability to give mankind a gift of living forever, that is something that animal kind doesn't posses, nor do they instintively want to?

What do you call someone who created the many Galaxys, Stars, planets, living organisms etc?

What do you call someone who gets accused for everything bad by some humans, and he still wants to save the human race?

Some call him, Jehovah

Anyone recall a time when your congregation came to the aid of a Brother or sister in need??

by jam in

i'm not talking about a individual, but a congregation as a whole.. i'm talking about a brother or sister that really hit hard times.. have there ever been an occasion where the brothers (elders).

decided to dip into the kh funds and help one in need????.

example, brother loose his job, get evicted, family of four or.

Most who are generous do not wish to advertise their gifts. That's why it's not visible.

I saw at a grocery store someone who got to the counter with her food, and when it came down to purchase them she reached in her purse and couldn't locate her wallet. She told the clerk to leave the bag of groceries aside and she would return later after she had located her wallet. When she returned and offered to pay for her groceries, the clerk told her that it was already paid by the person who was behind her in the line. That grocery bill was approx $100.00. The purchaser didn't want to be identified.

These acts of kindness are being conducted by many and not just JW's. But, in this case, it was a JW who did this to a stranger.

Well, Jesus did say we will always have the poor. He did help out the poor, but they would never disapear. The cong funds are not set up for that need. It's up to the individuals who are in a position to help to respond. Some JW's are stingy, and need to be reminded about this. In the first century, there were many stingy Christians. That's why the book of James strongly counsels them. We are no different today. Only some have responded to the call of displaying generousity. I have seen many acts of generosity displayed by individuals, and some cold acts. I have also seen some moochers.

Two points of entry for the Dallas Convention?

by CaptainSchmideo in

jw
friends

anyone else hear about this?

i got this second hand from my wife, who got it from her mom.. .

apparently, there will be two points of entry to the convention.

Quarterback

My covention site is a smaller stadium, and security is not a big issue. I imagine in the larger cities, when famous stadiums are used, and there is a large attendance, it reflects the attitude of post 9/11.

Glad I won't have those problems.
