  And the two most important points the GB want the kids to walk away is:

  1: Give us your money

  Sickening for sure. Look at this guy in pathetic adoration of Rutherford (minus the cross and crowns of course, and Jesus picture was given a haircut)

  Worship study this week

  by road to nowhere in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  since i need to keep up for family's sake i "study"(skim, its not deep).

  worship: pray, study ( wt), go to meetings ( formal, not gathering 2 or 3), preach.

  thrn add helping build halls, donating, and since donations go one way only, give material aid to others.. note construction time isn't for service,( but i may have turned in time for it).

  Yep I feel you, in a similar situation. Just keep in mind that any monthly local excess is "donated" to the WTS, but if your family is aware of donations then I guess there's not much you can do, short of 'redirecting' the funds to a worthier cause.

  how could the "two witnesses" mentioned in revelation chapter 11 possibly be j.f.

  rutherford and his companions who got jailed and then released in 1919?.

  by Terry in

  (jw’s did-in the 1960s)i thought you might find it interesting to review exactly what the u.s. government thought, studied, and wrote about people of conscience during the vietnam war.what follows comes from official records…more than half of the 27 million men eligible for the draft during the vietnam war were deferred, exempted, or disqualified.

  a baptized Witness who voluntarily joins the military is to be labeled "Disassociated" and not "Disfellowshipped"

  Yup and same for blood transfusions. All that matters is appearances.
