Paying interest on a Kingdom Hall loan, is it interest or mortgage ???
by run dont walk ini have read several threads where the general concession is, a new kingdom hall being built that needs a loan is usually 3 % .
let's say this is true (for the sake of arguement).
now i just renewed my mortgage at 5 % interest, sounds great doesn't it, but the first 5 years 50% of your money is going to interest and 50 % to principal, because the bank makes you pay the interest first.

john 15:1-7; john 4:10, 14; john 7:37, 38; john 6:48-56; 1 corinthians 10:1-4; exodus 12:47-49; numbers 11:4-6; revelation 22:1, 2, 15
it is the flesh of christ... "leaves" of this tree... the tree of life (john 14:6; 15:1)... and his blood... "water"... holy spirit... from his "river" (john 7:37, 38) ... from which we... israel and the nations (great crowd)... must eat and drink.

Need your help: How to convince a doubting JW field service isn't required?
by joe_from_kokomo infriends: i need your help.
my family and i left the wts one month ago and during a recent discussion with my sister-in-law, who is still in the borg, it seems she also has doubts, too.
but, one thing in particular seems to keep her in the organization: she believes that by being a witness she is fulfilling the commandment at matthew 28:19 about "go therefore and make disciples [of people] of all the nations and baptize them in the name of..." (well, you know the rest by heart.

"the truth" has them coming and going...
by joe_from_kokomo inin a recent article from christianity today, they quote that christians are more "mobile" today, and they pack up and go somewhere else whenever they so choose.
(although i know quite a few who are too psychologically immobilized to do this.
according to their article found here: http://www.christianitytoday.com/le/2003/003/19.7.html, 32% of jws left and 39% joined.
