Ozzie's Weekend Poll #34
by ozziepost inmrs ozzie prepared the lunch and i made the drinks!
our visitors were baptist folk, so there was no shiraz today, out of respect for their sensibilities!
we enjoyed our conversation about dateline/panorama/sunday and they are taking a tape of the sunday program to various church groups in the south of sydney.

Charity and the WTBTS?
by eyeslice inthe society appears to sit on assets worth millions but does anyone know if they ever give money away in the form of unconditional charity from their own coffers?.
i know for instance that the south african branch has sent relief aid to other parts of africa and the german branch has sent aid to eastern europe but can anyone say exactly where the money came from?
was it raised by special appeals to the congregations, thus not having coming directly from their own precious central funds?.

JW's Should Start Their Own Country!
by nonjwalltheway injehovas' witnesses are an interesting group.
they enjoy the freedoms and liberties that they receive by living in the united states, but at the same time they refuse to partake in voting, national celebrations and have basically created their own nation within a nation.
i find it hypocritical for them to act in this manner and believe that they should gather from around the world and all go and live together on some island.

Who Have They Sold Redundant KH's Too?
by Celtic inthe witnesses have obviously sold off lots of stock and fixtures over the years, as they replaced older, redundant technologies with new, including within this, buildings, kingdom halls and such like.. 'bernard' brought up the reminder in a reply post below, quoting his old kingdom hall as being sold to the mormon's.
frankly, this raised my eyebrows.. what else have they sold that we know of to people on the 'outside' that they would normally disagree with?
and how have these fresh funds been used, to what ends, if any specifically?.

What do you drive and why?
by Escargot inwell, a post on the good ol days got me thinking about the vehicles people drive and why.
in the jws, a vehicle had to be appropriate for service, four doors, holding at least five.
i remember back in 1978 i bought an mgb and the brothers had a fit (hehe), i was selfish, etc.,.
