DesirousOfChange20 hours agoWe are obligated now to a monthly KH fund expense of $500Haven't donated a dime since 2008. Wished I had stopped sooner.
I hope you made a Freudian slip there, when you said WE are obligated to pay......
NOT ONE DIME of my money has gone into a Contribution Box in at least 5 years. I don't give a sh!t what the other dumb a$$es give them, but I talk negative about all the begging for money whenever I have the opportunity.

"Since the society forgave all kingdom hall loans the boe felt it only appropriate to forgive the society of our loan to them." is exactly how it was presented to the R&F. 1st and seconded and passed... bam over with in less than 2 min.
We were told years ago when the money we had in the savings was moved to the society not to worry, that it would be still like a savings account we could access at any time to cover our bills on short months or spend on upgrades to the hall. Our hall has been paid off for years (no money borrowed from wts) and we never borrowed any money for the last 2 remodels (around 30 years). We are obligated now to a monthly KH fund expense of $500 when the average donation per month before the "arrangement" was around $75.
Not that I am surprised, just that predictions on this site usually come true contrary to the dismal record of "you know who!"

GB’s spring cleaning helps faders
by wheelwithinwheel inthe gbs 2015 doctrinal spring cleaning is a gift to all faders.
when we were fading they were grappling with the dying generation.
their ensuing explanations made our diminishing meeting attendance and service easily explainable.

You can disappear right under their noses one brick at a time. Stepped aside as an E with a legit reason. Then stopped commenting at meetings. A little later got out of the school. Slowed down on FS and eventually became inactive. Rumor has it I might be on restrictions... so many shun me...lol. I attend one or two Sundays a month currently. COs and BOEs have ignored me and I don't engage in JW conversation even though I am around them every day (workers and family). This is a little over 5 years worth. -

Indiana "Religious Freedom" (right to discriminate)
by Simon insickening to see the photo of the religious zealots all stood around the governor signing into law the right for people to discriminate against others (gay, lesbian, trans-gender) based purely on religious dogma.. if religious people want those freedoms then the can't have it both ways - they cannot complain if *they* are discriminated against.. "sorry, we don't like zionists, get out".
"oh, it's some special mass and you can't work your shift?
you're fired!"..

When I had a business I had a sign on the door that said "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone." This was applied several times to people who had bounced checks on me in the past unless they paid with cash of-course. I was not prejudice against poor people. I feel a privately owned business has the right to refuse service to anyone offset by the fact that the customer has the right to refuse to deal with a business. Morals and laws are two different things that conflict at times. If I was required by law to engage in a business arrangement that went against my conscience then I would choose not to be in that business. However sometimes laws are enacted after a business has been established for years that the owner of the business doesn't realize or has trouble with. The circumstances have to be considered in the context of many variables. If someone doesn't want to be involved in a business transaction with someone while at the same time still providing that service to others doesn't always mean they are being discriminatory. -

Asshole Atheism – Not for me, now or ever.
by donny into start off with let me clarify that by asshole atheism i am not referring to strong atheism or any other type of upfront atheism.
what i am referring to is the belligerent, hateful atheism that smacks of trolls and other types who want to derail conversation or comments at any cost..
i enjoy hearing comments from both sides of the subjects of theism, nationalism or politics, especially from those who have intense opinions.

@ crofty your right, a bit off topic. Posted it to give an example of how scientific data is sometimes manipulated to push an agenda.
@ njw no political affiliations here.

Their delusion run-ith over in today WT study rag mag.
by Crazyguy ini noticed that in paragraph 13 they mention the girl sheryl that i believe was the same girl that was in their video about the typhoon that hit the philippines back in 2013. they talk as if she's so happy and thankful to jehovah even mention that she lost most of her family in that typhoon.
what they don't mention was her family members that were killed in that typhoon were inside a kh thinking they were going to be protected by jehovah since they were in gods house and his people and all.
they also fail to mention that the government authorities were telling people to get out of town but the elders were most likely telling the people in their congregations to stick around and just come to the hall.

That typhoon happened because they were behind schedule printing the silver swords so no bad weather was allowed in that vicinity. All the weather energy was pushed into the southern hemisphere temporarily. -
