  having grown up in a jehovah's witness family, { quotes } came to the realization that what he was being raised to believe, wasn't standing up to scrutiny.

  subsequently, he put together a fantastic website, simply showing primary resource material (stuff jw's say about themselves and their beliefs) then simply highlighted various points of interest... things to make you say "hmmm!

  The WBTS will go after any organization if they think by doing so they could get $$$.

  Afterall, it's not like they're paying legal fees!

  I only hope this site isn't next, or at least on their 'future' list.

  Do the Witnesses Still Go Door to Door?

  i have lived at my current address for approximately five years and i have not had any visits from the witnesses.

  i don't really want any but here's the deal: i left "the truth" about fifteen years ago.

  i wasn't disfellowshipped or anything and (since i moved to another state) it was a relatively clean break.

  They still go door-to-door. However, I've noticed a lack of enthusiasm in this regard lately.

  well, it's hard to believe, but i'm finally ready to go on my world travels that i've been planning for so long.

  seriously, i've been trying to get out of here since way back in my witness days, at least four or five years.

  finally, i've gotten everything lined up, all the loose ends tied - i am on my way.. i leave this thursday for my first leg: 3 months in japan!

  They dress very nicely to go to their meetings and out on service. Also, most drive very nice, well-kept cars.

  Those that apply the counsel given at the meetings keep very nice homes and yards.

  Will The WTBTS Attempt To Cash In On This?

  by Honesty in

  fema plans to reimburse faith groups for aid.

  after weeks of prodding by republican lawmakers and the american red cross, the federal emergency management agency said yesterday that it will use taxpayer money to reimburse churches and other religious organizations that have opened their doors to provide shelter, food and supplies to survivors of hurricanes katrina and rita.. fema officials said it would mark the first time that the government has made large-scale payments to religious groups for helping to cope with a domestic natural disaster.. civil liberties groups called the decision a violation of the traditional boundary between church and state, accusing fema of trying to restore its battered reputation by playing to religious conservatives.

  for churches, synagogues and mosques that have taken in hurricane survivors, fema's decision presents a quandary.

  Honesty, you beat me to it!!!

  When I saw this article that's the first thing that came to mind! Of course the WBTS will find a way to take some money from the Government. No doubt in my mind!

  we had a visiting speaker come to our hall yesterday.

  he was a missionary from liberia (whoopie) but he was talking about the danger he faces everyday just to go our in field service from rebels, gangs, the military.

  he lived in a hut with no electricity, no running water.

  What a terrible assignment for missionary work! Hopefully he'll do better the next time the assignments are given.
