All of BG's riches are from his followers donations. Otherwise why would we bother.
Did Jesus take any donations from his followers ?
The persons you mentioned as rich in the Bible never amassed wealth from their preaching activities.
And of course, if BG had done any charitable deeds, I would commend him. Better than WT.
He never wavered in his commitment to Jesus of Nazareth
Can we make a chart comparing Jesus's Wealth with Billy Graham's ?
i was in a suburb of cardiff, capital of wales where it was difficult to get near to my customer's offices to deliver and install what i do.
i had my car parked about a hundred yards away and had to make several trips with goods and tools past a local jw trolley cart.
as i was working i didn't stop but observed much of the time from an upper floor office window.. in the hour or so i was there, on a warm sunny (for late february) lunchtime/early afternoon - right by a bus stop and several local shops, cafes and banks with plenty of people about - not one person stopped at the cart.. the two women at the cart i guess were about 50 and 75 respectively - pleasant looking motherly/grandmotherly types.
Why don't this WT realize that this Cart Witnessing is a great disgrace to their good old Jehovah.
the theme of feeding many through the hands of a few was discussed at a recent clam, and it was based on a wt article from 5 years ago.
for some reason though they changed the picture that goes with it.
usually people are erased from pictures when they defect, but this doesn't look too different, just like they made him have more delicate features.. .
Why give him a modern haircut in both pics?
Perhaps Great Clips and Super Cuts Existed then in the middle East. You know, the GB knows this through Holy Spirit.
i was reading another thread about the new gb member and it got me wondering if anyone knows someone who partook of the emblems at the memorial even though they knew they weren't 'anointed' just to see what reaction they got?
did they get questioned by elders?
did people start treating them differently?
There was a mid aged sister in my congregation, who was partaking and nobody believed her to be truly anointed.
She would skip a lot of meetings and was briefly separated from her husband at that time. In-fact an elder even advised me and my wife to stay away from her, when I was new in that congregation.
i've been pondering on this question for awhile now, and i'm starting to think this malevolent spirit creature isn't real.
.
do you guys believe satan is real?
I assume Satan is real when I watch Horror Movies. Makes it more enjoyable.
speaking to two jw's, separately and days apart, they both weaved in to the conversation the phrase " it is the true religion " .. now in neither case was it possible for me to do my usual thing, piling in with both guns blazing and pointing out that it is impossible for there to be any such thing as "the true religion", unless by "truth" you mean that which is true in your opinion and not supported by facts or reality etc etc.
my question is : is this mere coincidence, or has there been an article or something telling them to say this ?
if there is, could someone point me to it ?
All Serial killers are Evil. There cannot be a Kind Serial Killer.
All religions are frauds. So there cannot be anything such as "True Religion". Of course, it can be said that that they Truly deceive People.
she insisted on reading it to me and i just couldn't keep my freaking mouth shut.. see if you can tell why.... sunday, february 18.
they would go where the spirit inclined them to go.—ezek.
jesus has appointed the ‘faithful slave’ to be the only channel for dispensing spiritual food.
So the spirit inclined the Governing body to become a member of the Disgusting wild beast (UNO).
my turning point: serving on a child abuse judicial case.

Many things for me were "Too Good to be true" to beleive in the WT world. For Example,
matthew 7:7 jesus says: ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
for every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
or what man of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?
Prayer is nothing but talking to ourselves.
