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.

Twisted Scriptures of the Watchtower - Part 2
by joe_from_kokomo infriends: .
this one may not qualify as a "fully-twisted" scripture, in the sense that so many others are more twisted and more misused, and more transliterated.
but, i did run across a scripture that is incorrectly translated in the new world translation i felt it needs to be brought to light.

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.

Facial Hair
by nonjwalltheway inwhy aren't jw's supposed to have facial hair unless it is a nicely trimmed mustache?
if jw's are supposed to follow the way of jesus why can't they have facial hair.
i know there is no biblical protocall denying people the option to grow beards.
