Nice cut n paste punk. Best laugh I've had all day!!!

Vidiot, I always felt that elders and the organization should protect the children or support the innocent victims when an issue like sexual abuse comes up, and that Jehovah would protect the reputation of the organization if there was a pedophile or serial killer among the members. I think I am saying something along the same lines:
If it were truly "God's Earthly Organization" then survival should not be at risk.

cognac, they will indeed argue such a way. They would conjure up images of prostitutes and cigarettes and bling and shiny objects and the "air" of the world in Satan's power. Still, it would seem Jehovah will make sure the magazines are paid for if He wants them out there.

sparrowdown, I think we are used to that. Good things prove they are right. Bad things prove they are right. Everything proves they are right.

In the u.k you have to pay a licence every year for the privilege of having a television in your home. I remember one time you had to do the same if you owned a dog (Dog licence). I think the WTBTS should bring out a CART LICENCE, shall we say $50 per cart every year. Yes you have to pay for the privilege of sitting on your arse for a few hours a week. Make the pioneers pay for it as their the ones using it the most.

What do you think, should I send my idea to them?

F.I.G.J.A.M.

Win?

I'd be happy just to break even! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Seriously, though...

...I'd actually be inclined to use what I said as a counterpoint if any of them actually tried to use your "putting God to the test" argument in a conversation.

If nothing else, it'd get 'em to STFU. :smirk:

Sabin, I think the organization is registered as a charity in thd UK - as such the JWs cannot be taxed for any of their public "work". Besides, taxing the paraphernalia religious groups use in public would create a huge legal backlash.
