  What, according to the wts, is greedy - because I've just read from the latest tablet on watchtowerinformationservice that they should

  "Quit mixing in company with anyone called a brother that is a fornicator or a greedy person"

  So what's with a greedy person - who's that - a person in a Roller who runs over cripples - or someone who doesn't run after thieves to give them a cloak that they could well do with ?

  Does the wts have greed levels, and fancy rules about greed - two witnesses to a greedy act, and no one screamed "you can have it" so it must be greed (tm) ?

  Or is the whole thing like Corban, because what people really need is biblestudy(tm) ?

  Does someone who'd sell his own grandmother to become an elder count as a greedy person?

  Their definition of greed depends on who you are and your standing in the congregation's "in crowd".

  What, according to the wts, is greedy -

  Simple,

  Whatever watchtower want's is good, including the bodies of young children...

  Whatever anybody else want's is greed, because they are not giving it to the watchtower!

  So there's greed that is only greed when it's greedier, or as greedy, than other greed that's obviously greedy, because it's the greediest ?

  No, that's called being a "super fine" christian...............or just a plain asshole.

  There are a couple of ways of looking at the "sin of Onan"

  1. He fornicated and wanted to do it again.
  2. He avoided taking care of someone else's child.

  Which one did he get done for ?
