  Did you have any "well kept secrets" that the congregation never knew of?

  when you gather with the same people for decades, they get to know you inside out.

  they know where you work, have a good idea how much money you earn, know if you have sex or not, know your personal tastes, know where you go on vacations and so on..... were there things you were able to keep them from knowing?.

  Tithe - giving 10% to the church

  by LouBelle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this subject came up at work and has got me thinking, is this really a requirement that god enforces?

  a lot of churches say it is a mandate of the bible?

  does it make a difference to your spirituality if you give or not?

  i wanted to know everyones opinion on him losing his show and his comments.. first of all i do think his comments warrant the cancellation of his show, but it should have never got that far.

  when you are talking with family it should never leave the house.

  it should stay behind closed doors.

  from the most digusting, filthy food growing conditions of which more and more of our own food is contaminated with to abuse and consumption of exotic animals, especially the endangered.

  they are the worlds biggest contributors to the decline of endangered animals and are creating more.

  750 large bears were shown in cages with huge metal tubes inserted into their stomachs to suction out bile every day for old chinese medicine recipes.

  we went shopping this afternoon, my two little girls and i, on the way home, they were both excitedly talking about halloween.

  my youngest, who is seven, lets out this comment that nearly had me veering off the road with laughter.

  she said, "i know what i want to be for halloween already, a jehovah's witness" well, i started to laugh right away, my eldest girl asked her why, she says, "they knock on people's door all the time and they are really scary".
