  Will you make SACRIFICES for the kingdom? WT

  by bruh2012 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  par 10 - "significant funds are needed to support kingdom activities.

  each year tens of millions of dollars are spent caring for the expenses of traveling overseers, special pioneers and missionaries".. so the gb wants you to support their "kingdom interest", but can care less about the local congregation pioneers who for some struggle to make ends meet, who use their gas driving all around the territory putting wear and tear on their cars sometimes not getting gas money to take care of their expenses, let alone any repairs needed.

  talking about highway robbery!.

  I'm with ohnightdivine on this one. The answer is -> No! Already did my share. Thankfully, I didn't drop out of college to enter the ful-time ranks. But still suffering from taking the advice to just view my work as a means to an end (pay bills while waiting for the new system) instead of developing a career.

  How do JWs Not see how barbaric YHWH is? Its what started my awakening.

  by BU2B in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if one reads genesis from the first chapter through the end with an open mind, it is clear that not only is it not true, but that god is potrayed as a cruel, petty, childish micromanaging tyrant.

  if one continues reading the ot this is just further solidified.

  how do jws not see the obvious?

  ADCMS: I think he had at least one. In the Genesis account before the flood, it said he felt regret about having made man. I'm sure a lot of other species, extinct or not would agree it was a bad decision.

  9. Why must we work hard to remain in
  Jehovah’s teaching? (Luke 13:24)

  or since Jehovah=GB, because it is strange?

  oh, the irony... What could be stranger than the stuff the WTBATS doles out?

  I am planning on using this every step of the way as we read the bible together. She has already commented on how she never got the animal sacrifice thing. It was so funny when she came home from the CA on Saturday when she asked me - "Don't you love JHVH"? I didn't reply but you can imagine what i wanted to say.

  Jehovah's Witnesses bought more real estate in the UK for £5 Million

  http://www.borehamwoodtimes.co.uk/news/11016729.former_home_of_cardif_pinnacle_bought_by_jehovah_s_witnesses/.

  .

  the former home of an insurance company will now be used to store bibles by a christian sect.. jehovah's witnesses have bought 1 elstree way in borehamwood, formerly known as pinnacle place, from cardif pinnacle for 4,928,000.. the building will be used by the international bible students association, a corporation of the jehovah's witnesses which distributes bibles and other religious literature.. the non-profit organisation currently operates out of properties throughout mill hill and borehamwood, with headquarters in the ridgeway in mill hill.. it employs 700 people in printing, storing and distributing religious literature throughout britain, europe and africa.. a spokesman for the jehovahs witnesses said the association had outgrown its existing premises and had bought the large building to consolidate its operations.. it will use the new acquisition to store magazines, pamphlets and bibles as well as making full use of the office space.. however it will continue to maintain its headquarters in mill hill, where the literature is printed.. the sale went through in december and the international bible students association is currently preparing the building so it can move in.. jehovahs witnesses are best known for their door-to-door evangelical work, offering bible literature and recruiting and converting people to their beliefs.. the spokesman for the movement said: we are all about bible education and we print biblical literature to distribute around the world.. the people of borehamwood will probably not notice anything different as we are making no changes to the actual building, which is why we did not need planning permission..

  Outlaw - I caught the 'employs' thing too. It really is a shame that they can't use that efficiency thing for something more useful than sending unread literature to the landfill. Perhaps they view it as some sort of composting for the new system (that will be here soon). Maybe their definition of employ = use...

  Wow. Great stuff. Especiallly liked this one: There is no doubt that “child sacrifice” is a “revolting practice.” You are operating on a entirely different level. In a good way, of course! I'm not sure what your 'mission statement' is but the material is very original and thought provoking. Are you doing this for yourself or just hoping for a few lightbulb moments from the lurker/uncommitted crowd?

  ok, it's really just me and my scotch/video game marathon induced ramblings, but that title sounded better!

  baldeagle says, "depression is very high.

  this depression is being caused by many situations not even involving the death of a family member.

  I like (single-malt especially) Scotch too. But I can't afford it anymore. Probably has someting to do with not trying to get ahead/improve myself because the end was so close.
