  But I think I liked the "lawn lady" better

  I miss her too.

  But she needed to come down off the mountain for a bit.

  I'm sure she'll be back. LOL!

  we should help out the less fortunate. WRONG!!!!

  I was well off financially when I started off as a JW and became poor all of a sudden, when the papermill where I worked shut down.

  What did the JW's do to encourage me, or show Christian love and compassion.

  Nothing !!!

  The bread and wine would indeed help a hungry brother

  I just realized...................JWs treat Christ's "brothers" like SHITE!!

  Nasty old crackers and cheap red wine.

  Is that any way to treat future "kings and priests"?

  Well, this is one of my favourite ANTI JW Scriptures (purely because I'm wicked and oppose the good news and Jehovahs sovereignty ) but unfortunately, our conclusions fall flat in one major area : " To the least of my BROTHERS " (RSV bible "brethren" ) jesus is also heard to state that " The one doing the WILL OF MY FATHER that one is my brother and sister and mother" So it does state that we serve our brothers in Christ only - however, what is the will of God ?

  There are however, many scriptures that say the righteousness of he/she who gives to the poor shall endure forever.

  Personally I dont consider the WTB&TS as particularly poor - who at one point used Mt 25:40 as more whipping to get you to go on the ministry, stating that you were feeding and clothing christ brothers (the annointed ) by selling WT material (Im not making this up) so why didn't Jesus just say " support my brothers in the annointing work instead of waffling ?)
