i just picked up a few from mark jones as follows:.
i see is that the vast majority of jws don't seem to understand what their religion actually teaches.. the more controversial or embarrassing doctrine - although still official doctrine that has never been rescinded - is just not talked about anymore in the magazines.

It's the teachings that have nothing to do with the Bible that always bring the biggest shock value.
apparently they made leather tents for the roman army.
i had searched this site but i couldn’t find that this topic had been discussed yet.

Could catch, Hoser. I never gave it thought, but it makes sense.
since i am still "in" i "studied".
it takes all of 3 minutes to skim the article.

Rent, dont buy,-- rents here is easily over 2000
Work part time-- the biggest cause of strife is poverty
More ignorant advice from those who live off the sweat of other's work.
Rent, don't buy. All you are doing is paying the mortgage of the homeowner.
Work part time. Less money and no benefits. No health insurance. No retirement.
I remember very well that the Apostle Paul supported himself through the making and selling of tents. How many tents have the Governing Body made this week to earn their keep in their ivory tower?
Reporter: Did you tell your members to do this?

i know nothing of the singer but he is not bad at all.
In the spirit of time the original song was written and performed - Right on, man!
The hour is getting late.
this verse from the gospel of luke came to mind considering how many poor jws donate in the hope that they will get a new kingdom hall only to find out that their money have been stolen..
Growing up the Book Study was a big deal. I always remembered hearing as a kid that one day we might only be able to meet in homes during the Great Tribulation. Conventions was the other big thing.
Now all meetings have to be at a Kingdom Hall and Conventions are being held at Assembly Halls. Meanwhile, the super studio is being build so that no structure will be needed. All Watchtower properties can be sold for a profit.
