  for those of you who believe in the bible, have you ever seriously thought about the events that led up to the creation of eve?.

  genesis 2 - 18 the lord god said, it is not good for the man to be alone.

  i will make a helper suitable for him.. .

  JW Witnessing Trolleys. To approach or ignore what is your preference and why?

  by KateWild in

  2. experiences

  i saw two brothers this morning next to the main train station in liverpool city centre this morning.

  they were not actively approaching anyone.

  what i found strange was that they were from a cong that has different territory, so i don't know why they were there.. anyway i knew them both, and they know i was df'd, i was in my car and couldn't park up for a chat, but i did beep and wave to them as i drove passed and they waved back.

  Do you mean that the funds will go into the WTS controlled pot instead of being ring-fenced for this construction project, as per the new donation arrangement?

  Is the hall still going to be built?

  If so then I see no one complaining. They will be happified that the GB can use their money for anything.

  wouldn't it be nice if they said 'you know what, we've made millions in property sales recently, lets donate a couple million to a philipines relief fund..'

  ten vans full, probably just for jw's.

  In itself this is commendable. Let's hope no pressure is being put on these people to donate back.

  The Circuit Overseer Appointing Local Elders - Connect the Dots

  by skeeter1 in

  i thought about the change.

  here's my take.. i think it's a move to protect bethel and the governing body from criminal charges for pedophilia occuring within a congegation.

  criminal law usually works on specific knowledge of a situation.

  Don't hold your breath. The WTS would have to be exposed as knowingly sitting on a huge child abuse network before anything happened in the short term. I don't disagree with Skeeter's basic point and do think that over time there will likely be more political and social will to go after those at the top of orgs like the WTS but I honestly don't think the WTS have anything substantial to fear for some time.

  i hear a lot of stories circulating about jws in russia.

  the government is raiding houses for literature, just like the old days.

  an eldub was rambling during the wt study about jws in russia.

  The impact of JWs being rooted in the US may contribute to some of the anti dub feeling but from my experience of being in the former USSR areas many times the people simply cannot let go of the old school control mentality. If it ain't state approved then it's open season.
