    Matthew 23:25-28 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of plunder and immoderateness. Blind pharisees, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the dish, that the outside of it may also become clean.

    Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you resemble whitewashed graves, which outwardly indeed appear to be beautiful but inside are dead mans bones and every sort of uncleaness. In that way you also, outwardly indeed, appear righteous before men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

    Too bad the Society doesn't worry about cleaning up the things that matter!

    siegswife, exactly what I was thinking!! Hey Comforter, looks like you are missing the point!!

    And, fyi, Hassidic Jews are the cleanest people on earth...

    Your "facts' on the Churches of Christendom are wrong.

    I can agree with JuliG, as I've found the same to be so here 'downunder'. The 'facts' (so-called) about the churches is an example of yet another urban legend created by the WTS.

    Comforter,

    The premise of this thread is too silly as to be unworthy of a temperate response, but let me just point out that, if it were true, there would be no need for the ``reminders'' to be physically as well as spiritually clean in in yeserday's Watchtower. In fact, it's been my experience, which extends back more than 40 years of association, that cleanliness and orderliness is as much an individual matter withing the organization as without. It's as much of a fallacy to assert that JWs are uniquely cleaner than anyone else as it is to assert that JWs have a monopoly on decency, compassion, ethics or morality... it just ain't so.

    I've had householders commend JWs for their neatness and decorum, true; but it's also true that wish I had a nickel for every time I had one tell me--usually a neighbor of JWs that they ones they know are nothing more than Bible-toting fanatics who would be much better advised to stay home one Saturday morning and tend to their unkempt properties, unmown lawns, trash strewn about, etc. than to dance off, book bags in hand ignoirig grass so high it would need to be dealt with with a machete.

    It's so specious to compare the conditon of a stadium after a sporting event to the condition in which JWs leave the same grounds, since the latter are well aware that organizing a massive clean-up with free volunteer labor is a cheap way to get good press.

    And haircuts? The Gestapo ecelled at them, if I recall. And whatever you may think of their bizarre beliefs, what of the Mormons, their family values and overall squeaky-clan appearance? Do you really think JWs ``outwholesome'' them? And what does any of this prove? NOTHING...ZIP.. that's what.

    Now why couldn't I put it as well as that?

    Well put, Roomie.

    ha ha ha Roomie, good point!

    I know a family that mom is reg. pioneer, dad is a MS, and their three children are either reg. pioneers or reg. aux. pioneers. Their house was so messy that every time their grandma ( who is not a JW ) came, she found herself slavering over cleaning the house, not to mention making food. I think it was last year. She finally told them that she would never visit them again. She told me that she was even getting sick due to her hard labor at their place.

    JWs are the cleanest and the tidiest in the world? Not really unless you are retired or stay home without job. The WTS is putting too much on JWs already. If you have a job, you are barely getting dressed up for the meetings and door-to-door ministry.

    Can you prove the earth is round? Nope.

    talk about blind faith. if your elders told you the earth was flat, would you believe them? seriously - would you? and about this cleanliness thingy: my niece is an active publisher and let me tell you, she goes for days (DAYS) sometimes without bathing. she told me! she also wears really low-cut dresses to the kingdom halls, and so do other sisters! i have a very nice body but i don't go parading it for the whole world to see, 'cause i am not like that. and for your information, any person with half a brain bathes, brushes and flosses every singe day. my sister, a devout witness, remarked when she came to my house how clean it was. guess what? it is way cleaner than hers. and i didn't learn that by being a jw. i just like things clean and uncluttered.

    so do you think the earth is flat? my god what proof do you need that it isn't? if the wts told you the earth was flat would you accept it as truth? really?

    No amount of soap and water could clean away the stench that the witness organization leaves on this earth.

    We do not know whether they will use toilet paper or not in the new order. We will probably still use the bathroom though. Who told you that using the restroom was part of being imperfect?

    Cleanliness is important because God is clean and holy and we must be holy. Some brothers and sisters are still working at being clean. They will keep working on being clean until they walk into the new order after Armageddon. They are sincerely trying to please Jehovah and believe in his Son. God will bless their efforts. He is merciful and compassionate.

    I did not say the earth was flat. Comforter told these peeps in this place that nobody on earth can prove that the earth is round. There's a differance.

    Something may be true and we cannot prove it is true. If you prove that some things are true, then you will end up proving that they are false.

    To give an example of what I mean by proof, you may exist, but can you prove you exist? I do not believe you can show a skeptic indubitable proof that you exist. The skeptic could successfully refute every piece of evidence you might bring forth to prove you exist. Even if you punched the skeptic in the head or did another unspeakable act of violence to him, he could claim that he was hallucinating or that he is a brain in a vat hooked up to electrodes sending messages to his brain telling him that you git him upside his head. Ever seen the matrix? What Comforter is saying is that some things are true but you cannot prove they are true by scientific or logical means. Every truth claim is always open to doubt.

    Comforter,

    For somebody who has so much to squawk about cleanliness, we would appreciate it if you did something useful in this regard.

    Surely there must be senior citizens in your locality who would appreciate the help of a true Christian with sweet smelling arm-pits like yourself to help them with a few domestic tures, keeping their homes clean for example.

    Whenever you post I feel like reaching for the fly spray ( scented sweetly of course ) and giving you a dose to stop that irritating and quite useless noise of your buzzing wings.
