  Re:Green handshakes & IRS

  i was wondering if co's who get 'green handshakes' ever report their 'income' from these jw benefits?

  in the us even gifts beyond a certain amount must be reported.

  jw's like to claim how honest they are, do they report all their income?.

  Excellent point. I think it's $300-$400? Not sure. Also don't know if being a member of a religious order makes a difference.

  faithful and discreet slave no longer refers to self as "prophet" (or "prophet class")?

  by Magnum in

  the fds used to refer to itself as being a prophet or prophet class.

  it used to call itself "the ezekiel class", "the jeremiah class", etc.

  didn't it stop doing that?

  Because the more they refer to themselves as a prophet, the more likely some JWs will notice the scripture about what makes a false prophet, at Deut. 18: 20-22:

  “‘If any prophet presumptuously speaks a word in my name that I did not command him to speak or speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die. However, you may say in your heart: “How will we know that Jehovah has not spoken the word?” When the prophet speaks in the name of Jehovah and the word is not fulfilled or does not come true, then Jehovah did not speak that word. The prophet spoke it presumptuously. You should not fear him.’

  Definitely looks like it was stolen from JW artwork. What's the context?

  Ah yes, the old Family book. I remember that subheading about wives, called "The Whiners and the Naggers". Not even kidding.

  One of Rutherford's books used a painting of Jesus dying on the cross, and one man sodomizing another behind him.

  It says right on the badge not to transmit the program over phone and internet, and that the badge is not transferable, and only for the person's name on the card. Makes me wonder if the cards are supposed to have the names printed in and then given to the elders/Ms, instead of them writing it themselves. It looks like a printer ready file, a block of badges to be printed and cut out.

  I think that really is what they meant. In recent years they've been using not only assembly-like programs at KM school, but also badge cards, I assume for security purposes. I presume whoever wants it is going to try to sneak into school for elder's/Ms. I don't think that'll cut it though, they probably have a roster of who's supposed to be there.
