Shipping items to the Philippines. Does anyone have experience shipping to other countries?
by adjusted knowledge in

i live in the usa and want to ship my game consoles (xbox, playstation, wi, ect), laptop, and other items to my wife's family in the philippines.

i've used a company locally that ships there at a fix price of $90 per box.

so whatever i fit in the box will ship at that rate regardless of weight.

FedEx, UPS or DHL don't make the job?

And If the local customs official are corrupted, no shipping service will be able to get around that...

The question, treated in Doug Mason's excellent paper on this, is :

Why do the WT/JW Org accept as Canonical the writings chosen by what they call the Apostate Church of around 380 C.E ?

With this added question :

Is not their NW Translation an Apostate Bible ?

Do you have a link on this paper ? I'm really interested!

Me, I think I had chance about the BOE I had, 15 years ago, in a city, that perhaps some knows, Rheims, in france, the capital of the Champagne..

There I had two elders who was scientifics (high level), one rich like hell (champagne producer) and one who was a lawyer (high level)... These three elders rules all the another, who, honestly, just obey..

I don't know how it's now, but last time I ask my parents, they sais that they all gone... or because they really up in the organisation (one of the scientifics seems to be now in brooklyn and driving all thje scientific article of WT) or because they leave

For the one in brooklyn, we're the sama age, and we drank so much together when we was young.. I know the only thing he had in mind was to be a ruler of the GB.... he will succeed, I know him... if you see a french in the GB one day, it's him! :D

Some believe since there was a discussion about demons earlier in the chapter and Jesus was quoted as saying this that it was referring to another book where by Solomon could control demons and used them to help build the temple

I didn't know nothing about that, but you're totally right. I made some research and I found it comes from the testament of Solomon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testament_of_Solomon)

We can read and downlad this apocryphal book in pdf here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1euYzqg8kkpVWdQNFJ2YkliN0U/view?usp=sharing

in this area there are 5 elders that are firefighters

A JW firefighter ? This show that this kind of things depends of the area!

In France a JW can't be firefighter, even a voluntary one, because here firefighters depends of the ministery of defense... Then it's considered like to work for the army...

Internet, is in the same time a great tool for all the preachers and a great tools for the freedom.

After it depends a lot about the credulity of the people who receive the information

I know, I understood one day I was a very naive, credulous guy..

i sense a lot of disdain for labor intensive jobs on this site

I don't think someone here have disdain for these jobs. But have a disdain for the WT-view on these jobs like the only one WT-approved..

WTBTS is unable to come up with any logical explanation without a total revision of it's understanding of death (the spirit/soul), heaven and other places of spiritual abode.

To not have to handle with this kind of revision, i'm sure they will prefer to put an issue on the list of the canonical books they accept, than to change something in their dogma. Like that they'll be able to explain, why Paul is talking about Jannes and Jambres too..

But they can't... Because if they accept new books or taking away another from the WTBTS-agreed-canonical-books, then they will be forced to change their dogma by the way!

They will continue to juggle standing on an egg...
