Whenever I see the words "Christian Business" or see a fish on the business sign, I run in the opposite direction.
Ditto.
so basically he is a subcontractor for a company that owes him money, and has been paying him very poorly for his service.
(industry wide problem).
so he e mails them a venting e mail, saying he will no longer take work, giving them a date he expects the pay to be cut or he leins properties etc.... he gets a response, they go back and forth, and the last response they send the check and at the bottom post a scripture (he didn't remember which one) with the phrase "and we will continue to serve our god jehovah".

didn't see any other threads, apologies if one already exists.
apparently died of a massive stroke this morning.. r_o.
(completely unconfirmed.
Well, at least he died before Armageddon.
this is the last boe we will be able to provide.
our informant or source, was caught, disfellowshipped, and thrown out of bethel.
we knew that sooner or later the watchtower would find him out.
i remember reading a thread when my exit was starting, about inspirational songs.
someone posted a link to the "shins" for a fool.
this was a surprising help to me.

Someday you gotta find another way, you better right your mind
and live by what you say
Today is just another day unless you set your sights and try to find a way
I say fuck authority
Silent majority
Raised by the system
Now it's time to rise against them
We're sick of your treason
Sick of your lies
Fuck no, we won't listen
We're gonna open your eyes
Frustration, domination, feel the rage of a new generation,
we're livin', we're dyin' and we're never gonna stop, stop tryin'
Stop tryin'
Stop tryin', stop tryin'
You know the time is right to take control,
we gotta take offense against the status quo
No way, not gonna stand for it today, fight for your rights,
it's time we had our say
I say fuck authority
Silent majority
Raised by the system
Now it's time to rise against them
We're sick of your treason
Sick of your lies
Fuck no, we won't listen
We're gonna open your eyes
Frustration, domination, feel the rage of a new generation,
We're livin', we're dyin', we're sick and tired of the endless liein' Destroy,
Enjoy, your fucking world is our new toy, dominate, eliminate,
Your gonna feel the wrath, wrath of hate.
Fuck authority
Silent majority
Raised by the system
Now it's time to rise against them
We're sick of your treason
Sick of your lies
Fuck no, we won't listen
We're gonna open your eyes
Frustration, domination, feel the rage of a new generation,
we're livin', we're dyin' and we're never gonna stop, stop tryin'
Stop tryin'.......

Jack Johnson - Never Know
He studied with witnesses in his spiritual search. IMO this song is about that experience, last verse of the song tells you his conclusion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWCOY2bgEF0
a jehovah's witness explains the watchtower society's 'this generation' doctrine..... .
http://www.topix.com/forum/religion/jehovahs-witness/t3heh0tafiuk6f9t3.
what do you think about his explanation?.
Yeah, no. This is like saying the young men who fought in World War 1 and the yound men who fought in the Korean War are of the same generation. It just doesn't pass the common sense test.
our insightful posters on this site were able to predict the new "spirit directed" generation teachings and fds teaching even years in advance.
what bomb do you thing will be dropped this year?
i know it will be big.
After 100 years Jesus is retiring as King of heaven to play golf as the ruler of one of the multitudes of Universes. Satan has repented, and Jehovah has decided to just let him keep earth along with the Milky Way. Jehovah will give him the palace in the Pleiades. Jehovah has invested in a cosmic RV, this will replace the fiery chariot, and will spend the rest of his days traveling the multiverse. No more paradise on earth. Jehovah has decided the Muslims 10,000 virgins plan sounded like a lot better time. Now get out there and spread the good news before Satan sticks a pitchfork in your ass. Oh yeah, we need more money too.
thinking about how this felt awkward to some of us women when a bible student noticed something was "up" if a baptised brother sat in on a study.
had to reference 1 cor.
11:1-16.. i wonder if this irked any while you were still in?.
A note - I remember this being one of the very few things that people would actively question and discuss among themselves. Even 20 years ago.

Curious? Technically speaking - If a mother is conducting a family study with her teenage baptised son should she be wearing a head covering? When she prays with him before bed as a 10 year old unbaptised publisher should she wear a head covering?
my window cleaner is a jw and as i am always working when he comes to my house i haven't seen him or spoken to him in years.
the other day i was in my local town and went into a cafe for some lunch.
who is sitting there but my window cleaner and his wife.
Please pay him. Don't be as petty as he is. Give him a call and tell him you want to pay him in person. Hand him the money, fire him and explain to him that his actions have consequences.
