Question from a dummy (but very helpful if anyone can tell me): Do the members of the GB or anyone that serves get paid?
by FingersCrossed inin the jw-land, are there any of the gb, elders, or whatever posts/people get paid for doing the "good work"?
do they receive any monetary income (in term of salary/allowance/whatever as long as it is $$$) which come from donation aka from the congregation?.

CULT Characteristics - Discovery Channel
by Murray Smith ini know this topic has been done to death in the past, but thought it worth a post for those who may not yet have made an evaluation of jehovah's witnesses in this light.
not all characteristics are mirrored exactly by jehovah's witnesses, but the chief factors described below are present to a disturbing degree.
i have highlighted the obvious areas of correlation.

Jehovahs Witnesses and blood transfusion- Article
by whereami inhttp://whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com/2013/03/01/jehovahs-witnesses-and-blood-transfusion/.
jehovah's witnesses and blood transfusioni had forgotten that the jehovah's witnesses (jw) forbid blood transfusions, but this article in last sunday's new york times reminded me.
it's about physicians who are performing bloodless operations to accommodate the jws who can't receive blood.. the piece starts with the tale of rebecca tomczak, a jw who needed a lung transplant because her own lungs had been destroyed by the disease sarcoidosis.

Trinity vs GB
by FingersCrossed ini guess the concept of trinity is not illogical at all... .
trinity = three person as triune god (3 person that is the same/equal in one office).
gb = 8 persons that form an organisation that is bigger than christ & god, worshipped by the jws.

We are engaged and he made it known to everyone, including his JW friends and family
by FingersCrossed inwhat does that imply?.
btw, to update of our planned bible study together ~ didn't start, i found it disturbing to argue with someone with jw mindset, confusing and annoying.
i am just not ready yet, for it takes a lot of patience i know.
