  Petition to Revoke Scientology's Tax Exempt Status

  by ABibleStudent in

  1. social
  2. current

  fyi, if you feel that scientology's tax-exempt status should be revoked, you can sign a white house petition to revoke its tax-exempt status at https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/revoke-scientologys-tax-exempt-status.. i signed the petition even though i have mixed feelings about this petition.

  i would prefer that dangerous cults like scientology be reformed by suspending its tax-exempt status until it makes needed changes and i do not like targeting a specific organization when the whole system should be changed.

  on the other hand this type of action may help to promote debate about revising the tax codes in the us.. i do prefer revising the tax code like i wrote about in revise tax code to protect children from sexual abuse .. peace be with you and everyone, who you love,.

  I would like to sign one attributed to ALL religious organizations losing tax exemption status and any other kind of government aid.

  While we are at it, also let us get money out of politics. TYT!!!

  "Life is SO HARD!!" The martyrdom and moaning of the April broadcast!

  oh man!.

  the april broadcast is so manipulative when it speaks about enduring.

  the very premise makes witnesses feel burdened with a martyrdom and heavy hearted complex!

  And here is a biblical contradiction: Didn't Jesus say that following him would be refreshing, his yoke light, or something to that effect?

  Never ending guilt trips. This is where knowing TTATT is so great; one is no longer affected by such nonsense.

  can an unhappy married woman vent?

  by sowhatnow in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i continue to be saddened by the fact that i am married to such a selfish man.. i want to know if i am the only wife who has no say when it comes to using the house she lives in for activities including other people.. .

  let me explain.. yesterday my daugher who is 35 got a new puppy for my grandaughter who is 13. today my daughter and son in law are going to help my uncle at a job, and my granddaughter wanted to spend the day here, my daugher said shed bring her and the puppy over, i laughed and said 'your dad wont have that, ill have to go to your house'.. after all it will 'upset' the 2 cats they will hide all day [like they do anytime someone including my grandchild is in my home] .. i already knew that he would not like it if she brought the puppy over, [weve had dogs so its not like he hates them].

  he doesnt care if his grandaughter would have enjoyed playing with the puppy over grandmas house, where she likes to be for a change, and that fact that id like to see what my cats would do when they saw a dog for the first time in thier lives.. maybe id have liked to play with the puppy .. when i said to my husband that my daughter said she wanted tp bring them over he said.

  Sowhatnow,

  After having read your situation, I feel as though my marital issues are nothing. Venting helps, so we are here to read on.

  Well, there is some consolation in the fact that women outlive men for the most part. Take good care of yourself in hopes that he will croak first and then you will enjoy some years doing what you please after that.

  Six weeks or less into a pregnancy is nothing more than a blood clot inside the uterus. Sometimes a prolonged, very strenuous run will act as a detacher from the uterus wall and then the girl will just get a heavy, longer than usual period.

  I still feel that as long as this formation is nothing more than a clump of blood, without a heart beat or a nerve system, have at it. Solve your problem. By the way, was it negligence on the parents' part to allow a young girl to become preggers? Hmmmm?

  Better sex ed and supervision next time!!!

  The equivalent to Catholic infant baptism, letting children make the decision to get baptized when they are not even done growing up! This last assembly, a 12 year old girl took the dunk and you could just tell she did not even know what kind of commitment she was signing up for. Preposterous!

  How dare they criticize any other religion where the infants or very young are baptized?!

  Memorial Invitation campaign—A bitter experience

  by economy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  last year when i went to distribute memorial invitation, i had a bad time talking to a house-holder who happened to be an ex-nun.

  she said: you are wasting your time.

  jesus had no idea that his death would have a sin-atoning value (which is of course a later invention by later theologians.

  21 Years as an Elder, 5 as an MS, I will never be that guy again.

  by James Jack in

  2. experiences

  i was deleted as the cobe after i let my adult child move back home and he admitted that he fornicated under my roof while my wife and i where away on a rbc project.

  of course the elder mode in me kicked him out of the house.. the elders moved quickly to remove me because i was too involved in "theocractic activities", i had neglected my adult son.. i accepted this primarily because i didn't want to serve with a boe that did not want me.

  i was devastated however because it was the only life i knew.
