  Did You Give Much $$$ To The Kingdom Hall And/Or Watchtower Society?

  i typically gave $$$ to the local kh and seldom gave donations to the society.. i always am amazed how some church going people have very little materially, yet make sure the church and the pastors are well taken care of..

  I gave more in the early years than in later years. After noticing that Watchtower was not all that it pretended to be I lost enthusiasm, my contributions dropped off, but I stayed in for years.

  However, I gave buckets of money paying for Magazines and other literature, which I later learned provided windfall profits for the organization.

  I've seen many episodes of California's Gold and loved them. It was one of my favorite shows on PBS.

  I am stunned that he is gone at only 67 years old.

  California Here I Come was the theme song of his show. Here is a version of it, with Huell singing the lead and showing a bit of his limitless enthusiasm. The youthful band and backup singers adds a nice touch.

  Need help in identifying a Bible translation

  by Caminante in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm working on transcribing the full 3 hour recording of ray franz's visit in romania of over five years ago and i realize he quotes from a pretty unfamiliar bible translation.

  well, it's unfamiliar to me--it might not be for you though--and i don't seem to find it anywhere online.

  as a clue, i have the verses from 1 peter 4:8-10. they read as follows: "above all, let your love for one another be constant, for love covers a multitude of sins.

  The same wording of 1Peter 4:8-10 is quoted in this pdf, the very last scripture cited.

  http://www.cdom.org/stewardship/documents/Ministry%20Brochure.pdf

  I don't see any note of the translation used, but the home page appearss to be a Catholic site.

  Hope you get it figured it out.

  Despite it's horrible turn over rate, Watchtower will always find fault with other religions that have much less of a problem.

  In this example it points to the Catholic Church,

  (Awake Nov, 2011 p29, Watching The World)
  “Slightly more than 10% of American adults (10.1 percent) have left the Catholic Church after having been raised Catholic. -National Catholic Reporter, U.S.A."

  Another glaring, hypocritical double standard on Watchtower's part.

  during the last three to four months, i have spent a great deal of time sinking my teeth into various critical biblical commentaries and lexicons.

  naturally, after beginning to research "the truth about the truth" one of the most commonplace yet controversial arguments revolve around the "gentile times" doctrine (i.e.

  the application of the seven times of daniel 4 from 607 b.c.e.

  I have no interest in having discussions with any of you. Please save your questions for someone who cares.

  The question I asked was very simple and doesn't require a discussion at all, just a Yes or No.

  Blood transfusion: Letter of Understanding

  blood transfusion: letter of understanding .

  today i added a new article to my blog that to the best of my knowledge is the first publication of a document put together for jehovahs witnesses by medical ethicists in cooperation with watchtower appointed hospital liaison committee members.

  this document is very helpful in medical terms yet very explosive in theological terms for jehovahs witnesses whove been taught to resist blood transfusion as rape.

  Thank you for the explanation to my question!

  I like your summary of why this is happening the Society is softening on the blood issue,

  1) Watchtower is losing the fight

  If a physican gave a JW child a transfusion, would the parents know about it, or are the parents agreeing to 'look the other way' while the Dr does what he needs to do to save a child?

  If the latter, Watchtower is agreeing to a 'do what you need to do, just don't tell me about it' approach.
