i haven't been paying attention, i admit... but thought i would go and look at their latest magazine, and see what my parents are spending their precious energy on this month.

my mom retired in may, and we have seen her just once since then.

our invitations have been rejected, due to meetings, conventions, service work requirements, etc.

Watchtower Takes in $2 Million Conditional Loan and Won't Return the Loan, Is it True?

by BucketShopBill in

i heard several stories of the watchtower taking in loans and donations given by rich witnesses who have fallen on to hard times and asked for the money back and the watchtower won't return the money.

have you ever heard of the watchtower only paying the money back on "conditional loans" once legal experts get invovled?

one of the stories that is around is a family donated a large chunk of their nest-egg to the watchtower and the husband got sick and the branch refused to contact him when he asked for his conditional donation back, would the watchtower screw people out of their money?

Yes. I want specific facts I can throw in their slimed faces when they start cooing about lurve. Not just "Happened to me, too."

the hardest tests have been lived but we are closer than ever now.

now recently shes read "the shack" nd watched some movies about god and just cant seem to inderstand why god would allow all of this suffering just to prove to satan that hes "the man" (or woman).

There is a youtube video about losing god. Can't remember exact title - it was posted here a while back. By a female comedien. Worth a gander.

According to one source, what Scotland pays to the Government in tax is LESS than what they get back.

Goal for new service year

by Daniel1555 in

the secretary of the congregation said in a talk, what the congregation should have as goal for the new service year: attend field service meetings!.

he explained in a sad tone, that he visited all of our 3 or 4 service groups.

and what happened at the field service meetings.

hamsterbait

My goal for the noo service year is to Negative Pious Sneer.

I shall spend 60 hours a month NOT doing the door to bore misery, placing no comics, and disposing of any I find polluting the environment.

I shall wear no panties, whilst exuding an air of mystery and easy access...

Watched Dexter and loved it. Then watched Homeland and loved that too. What should I watch next?

by Amelia Ashton in

hi guys,.

i am so out of touch with tv shows and i have got a lot of catching up to do.. some-one suggested dexter and it was fantastic and what an ending.

really loved it.

hamsterbait

It all just proves that there CANNOT be a god. Otherwise he would have given us a longer day than 24 hours so we can keep up with the TV. Does he actually KNOW that these shows don't watch themselves??

Spanking VS. Reasoning

by SpeedRacer in

i am having a discussion at work with the jw's.

should you spank a child to make them understand or do you reason with them.

they both agree with spanking.

Terry - how can you say Jesus is a good example here? Punishments he mentions are cutting people in pieces, throwing them into the sea with rocks round their necks, sending them to hell, terrorising them with fancy fire works in the sky, burning them in a furnace....

Was Charles Russell delusional or just a con artist?

by keyser soze in

i've seen him referred to as both on this forum.. did he sincerely believe that he was an inspired prophet whose end-time predictions and biblical interpretations came from god?

or was he just a shrewd businessman who saw a market of disillusioned christians who believed that armageddon was imminent that he could exploit?.

i personally lean toward the latter.. .

hamsterbait

Con man and delusional.

look at the measurements of the Great Pyramid. The main corridor was the right number of inches to prove 1914. But when that flopped the new edition of the Divine Plan just blithely put in place a new number of inches....
