Giordano: When I was a pioneer I always thought what a shame it was that we couldn't push a line of Avon Products
Haha!
I know a JW woman (still active) who has done this for years. Avon distributor for over 50 years. She still does it. She really likes going out to rural areas and doing a double whammy. She carries her Avon orders in her vehicle along with her JW literature. She leaves a tract and an Avon Catalog.
Anyone who knows this lady, knows exactly who I am talking about. ;)

it appears that the borg has some financial issues and i would think they are related to the hush money being paid out for the child molestation lawsuits to protect the guilty cult members and the fine untarnished reputation of the jdubs.. we have seen how much the borg refers to the hebrew scriptures for their guiding principles whenever it suits the borg's needs.
tithing certainly is laced throughout the old testament.
under the mosaic law, there were three tithes.
sir82: Why would they change unless there was a need?
Maybe there is a need.
Once the JW religion was split off from the main corporation and tried to become an independent entity, maybe, just maybe, all those big private donations to "the society" ended up bypassing the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses and going directly into "the society's" coffers.
The need could simply be the need for this smaller corporate structure to pull its own weight within the WT corporate structure.

sir82: Actual implementation of it would be pretty solid evidence that they really are hurting for money
Actually, it could be simply evidence that the org has adopted the same funding model as all other churches. That's all.
A mandatory individual "tithe" (wouldn't necessarily have to be exactly 10%) would be another useful benchmark to use to see who qualifies for "special privileges of service".
Which makes sense seeing as that is how other churches maintain their membership roll. Once a person becomes a donating/tithing member of a church, it qualifies them for church membership and things like funeral privileges, etc. At one time, that was the main reason for being a church member - to be on church records. Which a person got in return for giving $$$ to the church
what started as news of a man and woman being found unconscious on a park bench 12 days ago is escalating into an international incident.. sergei skripal had worked as a double agent for british intelligence mi6 before he was discovered and imprisoned in russia in 2006. he was later flown to england as part of a spy-swap in 2010. on sunday 4th march he was discovered along with his 33 year old daughter yulia close to a shopping centre in salisbury.. since then the story has become increasingly bizarre.
a policeman who was first to attend the scene also became critically ill and remains in hospital.
government scientists at porton down have confirmed that the cause is a russian military-grade nerve agent novichok.
TD: A clean, 'hit" (As in jabbing the target with a needle) is bad enough.
An airborne delivery, which contaminates an area, seriously injuring or perhaps even killing first responders is, at best an act of terrorism and at worst, an act of war.
It seems rather clumsy, doesn't it?
And an odd choice for an assassin weapon

lepermessiah: I love the spin job from the spokesman Matthieu Rozen:
"Our organization does not sponsor any proselytizing campaigns in funeral homes.If an individual is moved by love and faith to share their condolences and the Bible's comforting words with a person in grief, that is a personal choice."
I noticed that too. It reminds me of the little kid whose mother has accused him of raiding sweets and he replies "I didn't take the cookies!" and all the while, he has a stash of chocolates, cinnamon buns, and popcorn under his bed.

outahere:...somebody with deep connections to the military, capable of getting that toxin
Apparently, according to The Moscow Times, accessing that nerve agent back in the 90s during the collapse of the Soviet Union wasn't that difficult
by evolution or by creation?
by evolution or by creation?
"the bible is a myth" and "evolution is true".
Earnest:...found it rather strange but I remember in the subsequent articles they referred to the effect of heart transplants on the recipients and I thought maybe there was something in it.
Lol!
Lorenz Reibling wrote a paper on this topic when he was an undergraduate in Germany back in the early 70s...(or what is in the 60s?). Reibling is a JW - or, at least, his father is. His father used to in the SS but converted to JWism after the war.
Reibling sells real estate now.

dubstepped: Bottom feeding disgusting scavengers, whoever is doing this. Shame on the soul sucking Borganization for not condemning the practice. They just gave it tacit approval.
Yes, JWs are ghouls.
The org has always encouraged inappropriate "witnessing" and that has included doing things like showing up at the graveside of unbelievers to hand out literature. There are many stories online of JWs doing just that.
JWs have an odd and strange relationship with death. Their view of death is perverted and they lack respect for other people's grief.
