well there you have it folks.
they have passed around pieces of paper for each publisher to write.
down how much they are willing to give the society every month for their entire lives!.
Can anybody post the illustration from a Witchtower study afeww years ago? It showed Average joe Jew, kneeling, praying in front of a very phallic altar with something running down it. The caption read: "I will give a tenth of everything I have to you."
The prepping the WTBTS does before sliding in Noolite is crafty. Like the november study on John 6 pointing out that those listening to jesus wd have bothe earthly and heavenly hopes. That change is on the way too
i have lots and lots of watchtower literature... and i don't know what could be useful in the future to have as a reference or as a keeper.
i am definitely keeping the 1993 and 1994 bound volumes of the awake!
(no, we are not false prophets... down in the same page, the generation of 1914 will not pass... also the youths who put god the watchtower first).
Sell it on eBay. Even some of the books from the 60s go for forty dollars or more: things in which it is impossible for god to lie - (incidentally that is the one that explains why the witch tower translates ai'on with system of things")
my mother in law (in her 80's) just told me that she had the elders around to pick up her 'donation' pledge.
it was 'suggested that $20 a month was the average amount pledged but she could pledge more or less.
so, rather than an anonymous amount they have a signed document stating the amount of her pledge.
Is this happening anywhere else apart from the US? Are they testing the ground there first, before unrolling it around the world, like with the donation for litterature arrangement?
just read a post on jwsurvey about the new donation arrangement.
congregations are to pledge a monthly amount to be sent to the society to fund the building of assembly halls and kingdom halls.
congregations who already have a loan from the society will no longer have to pay back the loan but the amount pledged should not be less than the current monthly repayments to the society.
Wait a minute -"your BROTHERS, THE CHRISTIAN CONGREGTION OF JEHOVAHS WITNESSES"
Didnt they tell the court in Australia this did not exist, along with the according to them non-existent FDS??????
well if said that, one thing is for sure he wont remain a atheist.
if he is in heaven..lol.
The church teaches that anybody who lives an upright life and follows their conscience goes to heaven, no matter what they believe. It's based on Romans , wher people of the nations are "a law unto themselves".
so a Muslim, Buddhist JW, atheist can go to heaven as long as they lived life with integrity.
where this leaves Torquemada and others of his ilk is moot... Or the 7 popes in NY Crooklyn Beth Hell.
i was fortunate to be recommended for a sales position by a former colleague.
the company phoned me and we set up an interview.
i accepted their offer - it is nearly double what i earn at the moment.
JOY for you - oxo!
leaving the university with my degree!.
exams are finished and it's just a matter of days before i walk.. i was certainly stressed about doing this.
i'm older than my classmates and armageddon was sooooo close!
Billy you have gained the world but lost your soul.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
go for the big old world a-turnin' while you can...
i want to know if the relaxing of rules on blood fractions bears any relation to the medical needs of gb members as they became more vulnerable to fatal conditions.
vaccines stopped being banned just before n h knorr went on his world tour and didn't want to come back from 3rd world in a coffin.. witchtowers of the time said members would have to take the consequences of standing by the old teaching on vaccines personally, wt hung them out to dry.. i dont have access to names or death certificates of gb members dying, but who can find this info, and how it might relate to conditions needing blood in some form?.
i reckon when the blood teaching bites the dust finally, the witnesses will be left out in the cold too: " follow your own conscience , it's your problem now, not ours...".
there are 4 single men who are serving as ms. all are tripping over themselves for attenttion.
do they have to marry off a ministerial servant before taking him to the next level?.
and what percentage of elders are married?
The Witchtower often hints that single men with more than two pubic hairs must be PERVERTS!!!
(unless he molests kids) then he must be protected and supported.
???
