  during the course of the year congregations pass a number of resolutions to send money to the branch.

  this year i've resolved to count all money grab endeavors.

  so far for the month of january there were two locally:.

  Our cong resolved to send $300 a month after the new arrangement was announced. Our Hall had just finished a $130K remodeling project. Everyone saw this as the biggest blessing ever. We had not send the first payment for the project and the loan was "forgiven". Never mind that we would now donate $300 for who knows how long. Not a year later, in December, another resolution was passed to up the amount to $500 a month.

  Why I like Jehovah's Witnesses

  by undercover witness in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i keep reading that jehovah's witnesses are in effect monsters.

  i keep reading that they kinda leave chaos and distrust in their wake.

  so i simply wondered if anyone had anything nice to say about them?.

  I am pretty sure individual members are for the most part nice people. I know may that are indeed. They are just unaware of what they got into. I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish but whomever wrote that did not bother to research the topic.

  Waking someone up using WT Article on "Doubts"?

  by cappytan in

  2. bible

  has anyone had success in using this article to convince their family member or spouse that critical research of what the society presents is important to build faith?.

  this article has this passage that jumped out at me:.

  of course, not all doubt is bad.

  Awesome movie: "THE GIVER". This is a MUST WATCH for witnesses and those breaking free from the WT!!!

  you have to watch the movie "the giver"!

  it is simply an awesome movie for every thinking witness, or those trying to break free from the org's hold on us.. i wont give away too much, but the concept of the film is mind blowing!

  utopia vs reality etc... conformity vs individuality and humanity... etc.

  Too bad most JWs think they do have individuality and free will.

  Conti Appeal Preview - Oral Argument Jan 14

  by Chaserious in

  with hopefully a good deal of interest here in the conti appeal tomorrow (or later today, depending on where you are), i thought that on my ride home from work tonight i'd preview what to expect and what i think the key issues are for any who are interested.

  i have had a busy few weeks and haven't had time to read everything, but i had some time to look at the appeal briefs during my work commute the past couple days.

  it'll be interesting to see what develops out of the network news coverage of this case.

  Was ABC news ever granted permission to record or broadcast the arguments?

  Who is on Top of the Witness Money Chain?

  by runForever in

  who is all this money benefiting?

  when you have hundreds of millions or billions of dollars there will be someone trying to tap into that.

  is it the governing body?

  I beg to disagree. While not all the money could be benefiting one or a small group of persons, there is definitely someone ripping the benefits of belonging to the org. If you as a wealthy elder use it as a tax shelter, then you are ripping a benefit. The lawyers off course, and I am sure that all these investments in real state are not like buying candy. I am sure there are consulting firms and other companies involved in international transactions. Who is to say that the owners of some of these companies are not related to GB members?

  My Explanation of Why They Got it Wrong About Blood Using Only the NWT

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  10 " any israelite or any alien living among them who eats any bloodi will set my face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from his people.

  12 therefore i say to the israelites, "none of you may eat blood, nor may an alien living among you eat blood.

  15 'anyone, whether native-born or alien, who eats anything found dead or torn by wild animals must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be ceremonially unclean till evening; then he will be clean.

  what is the mail screening process at headquarters like?

  wouldn't it be great if the watchtower received a few hundred packets of sticky, messy glitter that clings to everything over the course of a week?.

  this website is amusing to say the least.. http://shipyourenemiesglitter.com/.
