She is boring....no character.... pathetic. She looks like a 12-year old, immature. The guy at least has some interests and act like a normal man. Well.....that is the JW life I guess.

More money-grubbing: Give us your money even if you can't afford food
by bohm inthe message would appear to be that jehovah needs money more than that old lady needs food:.

trust in Jehovah, knowing that if she put spiritual things first, he would provide for her physical needs
Yes, do not trust on us for that.....we only want your money...for the rest, we do not care.
So, if someone helps a poor / meek person, you could say that God worked through that person, right? That also means that those who can help but do not help, God is not working through them. In conclusion, God is not with the WT to motivate their hearts to help the poor, weak, meek etc....
Agree?

Funny (well. not funny actually) but the letter makes reference of abuse in other religious confessions but makes no reference at all to even one incident in their own organization. How creepy is that???
Further, minors who are unbaptized publishers very often work with different adults, elders and ms alike.
Lastly, why not simply comply? It seems they are afraid that in certain cases the certification will not be given....how scary is that ??
I do voluntary work in Ronald McDonald house and I was obliged to submit a declaration of good behavior (meaning there are no restrictions for me to work in this environment. The declaration is provided by the Min. of Justice). I fully understand and had no objections.
I really hope that one day a government declares this organization illegal because they cannot prove there are no pedophiles in their midst and as such is a danger to society.

fractions is personal decision. I believe the whole blood acceptance is personal. Our lives are personal. We all are personally accountable for our actions.
Further, this whole procedure will increase the stress levels for the mother-to-be and all around her. Incredible.

So, if my boss asks me to decorate the Christmas tree but I am not obliged to sing songs to It (i.e. no act of devotion or ceremony), it is OK......
If governments are actually tools of Satan (WT doctrine), then hanging a flag is supporting that tool and its master, right??? So, building a church because my company asks me to support the construction works, is all fine then as I am not doing an act of worship. Just carrying stones etc.....
Hmm....nah... I guess I must be wrong ..... the WT cannot be that hypocritical.....can they??

My view, and of course, cannot prove, their bible was based on other translations, English translations. Most English native speakers could develop a bible using the available English bibles with some interlinear translations and there you go. Who knows, may be W & H have helped them. I cannot proof it but also I cannot see any evidence that their NWT's are translated directly from the available Hebrew and Greek texts. And because they keep everything a secret, one wonders why...what is there to hide with regard to a translation??

Heb “his days will be 120 years.” Some interpret this to mean that the age expectancy of people from this point on would be 120, but neither the subsequent narrative nor reality favors this. It is more likely that this refers to the time remaining between this announcement of judgment and the coming of the flood.

WT "Study" for 4th September 2016 - “Seek the Kingdom, Not Things”
by Nicholaus Kopernicus ini’m sitting there in the kingdom hall just thinking how rich it is of the gbojw to preach about materialism when they have recently been evidenced to be using bro’s & sis’ contributions to the world wide work to travel business class!
just that thought alone was leading me to read scripture while they were all engaged in the wt “study”.. however, then it came to paragraph 17 and i blurted / choked a little.
the paragraph said that “we should not imitate the people of ‘the nations,’ who have no real faith in a loving heavenly father who cares for those who put the interests of his kingdom first in their life.”.

Well said and reasoned.
It got me thinking a bit: why the continued push to the rank&file to do more in the JW ministry? There is internet and with some clever promotions, JW dot org will attract far more people (initially) than all these house visits. Therefore, if spreading the JW message is the objective, internet is far more effective (and efficient).
No, it is not about spreading their message but about membership. Members generate money. Money generates power. Power generates respect (in this world).
Jesus never started an organization. He was not interested in the money He could generate, the power it would give Him. He was not interested to become King that way. He really was only interested to spread the good news.
What a contrast with religious denominations / organizations (incl. WBTS) in this world.
