well it happened again, i got annoyed at my mom telling me all about the co visit , and i couldn't help myself, i said' oh god mom its like the pope is visiting, all that info can be told with the regular elders you don't need 'special' people .. subjects ensue,.

she says 'your misled, your so wrong, no one else on the planet has the beliefs that we do, we are the only ones with the truth, i dont follow men, bla bla.. , 40 minuets... , misquotes all over the place, isaiah this and that, yada yada ' j"vah has to have an earthy organization to give us the proper food, bla bla.

i say ' no jesus is gods mediator, we don't need men and were told not to listen to men for they are imperfect.

Legally can WT forcibly remove money from KH bank accounts with out the signees permission

by joe134cd in

i just wondered if the wtbts could legally remove the money from the congregation accounts with out the signees permission.

are the bank accounts deemed society property with the change of realestate ownership into the societies name.

legally could they get away with it if the situation arose , and if not how could they manipulate the situation so they could.

In the USA, no. Absolutly not. However its a moot point in the long run since the congregation will do whatever mother asks. There is also a rumour that eventually all donations will be sent directly to the branch and the branch will pay local expenses and keep the rest...

I want to carry the microphones"

by stillin in

this was the reason that our 12 year old son gave us for wanting to be baptized.

my wife and i actually agreed that he should wait a little longer, thank god!

by the time he was 13 he was running wild.

No, its controll. They domt want people to contaminate the belivers so they condition believers to reject hertics and those that do as they are told. They will never do away with ot because it does it exactly what they want it to. It inspires fear in the masses and fear is their best weapon.

OMG... what happened in a bar today

by leaving_quietly in

so, i'm sitting in a bar, having a drink.

the bar participates in taptv, an online trivia thing.

the question that came up was, "what did jehovah's witnesses call themselves before 1931".

_Morpheus

"The bartender, a female who I've come to know and appreciate, blurted out, "Scavengers". This led to a lengthy conversation, including me revealing my background. I told her that she'd eventually find out, but this wasn't the way I envisioned.

I won't go into all the details, because some is not relevant"

i disagree. Sounds like a very relevant and interesting part of the story ;)
