back when i was a lusty young lad of 17, a certain sister caught my eye - i swear that she could make her eyelashes beckon - and i duly decided to pay court to said sister.. however, it was not to be so simple.

round about that time, it would have been mid-60's, the wtbts were having a real downer on anyone who wore a short skirt (not me), danced the twist or grew their hair (me) over their ears.. but, the worse thing was still to come.

folks, i am talking about chaperoning!

Taking sisters out into field service in a car was a joke.
They would have to sit in the back seat and brothers in the front.

I had one retired sister once ask me if I wanted her in the back seat, I kindly refused, so she sat in the front with me.

JWs are supposed to be so(morally) upright, yet could not be trusted by the watchtower, to even sit in the same car with the opposite sex.

how the wts grows rich!!!

principle loan: $200,000 to congregation buy land and build hall.. interest rate: 3%.

loan term: 30 years.. the total paid back over 30 year: $303,555.

J.Ws buy Kingdom Hall, with part loan from the Watchtower Society.
The Watchtower charges interest on the loan as well as the bank.
J.Ws eventually pay off the loan.
Final Result: The Kingdom Hall belongs to the Watchtower Society, and not to the ones that payed the loan.
Capitalism? No Extortion!

Why would a God want worship anyway?

by radar in

the need to be worshiped is a human failing rather than divine.. when you look into history, you find that it as been the tyrants, that have required worship/devotion, from its people.

look into the bible, you find a battle over worship.

there is satan who supposedly wanted just one act of worship from jesus, and he would give kingdoms away.. then there is god, who reportedly required the sacrifice of thousands of animals on a weekly basis as part of his worship.

Then there is God, who reportedly required the sacrifice of thousands of animals on a weekly basis as part of his worship. ( Psalm 40:6. Obedience was better than sacrifice, but God wanted both)
Then there is the beseeching and the begging and imploring and the reading in an undertone day and night, and the bowing down and the praising and the sacrifice, the attending of the Temple, the falling down on their faces of the Angels and so on.

Today millions of muslims pray towards Mecca, five times a day.
The Jews have their "Wailling wall"
All seeking to please their God.

Does all this not strike you as odd?

Is all this worship compatable with a superior benevolent being?

What loving parent would not speak to their Children when they spoke to them?

Yet what happens when people pray? NOTHING! It may be claimed that God answers in various(mysterious) ways.
why does this God not answer people directly?
And tell them about his nature, his purpose, what happens at death, but not just to one people but to the whole of mankind, everyone.

Then everyone would know the truth, no religious divisions, end of confusion. This would be such a simple thing for a God.
Yet instead, we see the slaughter and abuse of mankind, left in utter confusion over religion.

They still feeding this garbage? brings sad memories.
