Credit card machines at district conventions

by OneDayillBeFree in

so it's true they are real.

i never thought i'd see the day when the org.

would be so desperate for money that they would do this.

There are some good reasons for this new program:

Less cash handling

Larger donations can be given

Accounting easier

Most people prefer debit card use over cash

Graphic video -

graphic video: muslims slaughter convert to christianity in tunisia by raymond ibrahim.

gatestone institute.

june 4, 2012. .

I will not watch this video. It was watching a video like this about 9 years ago that convinced me that I could not worship a god that allowed this to happen. I know millions of people die horrible deaths each year, but it was this simple video that did it for me.

ABC News Runs This Headline: "Calif Jury Awards $28M in Jehovah's Sex Abuse Case"

at least "the name" is being kept before the people..

The organization always emphasizes not bringing reproach on Jehovah's name....I say this...JEHOVAH CAN TAKE IT! They just want to protect the biz.

I wonder how many elders will be losing sleep over the next year as they look back on how many times they held back on "bringing reproach on Jehovah's name" by not reporting the pervs. The threat of law suits is going to bring high er anxiety.

I don't think it gives enough attention to what the policy is/was. This needs to be very clear. If not, then it will just look to the "friends" like the org is being sued for something one perv did.

Blogger asks why have WTS never lost a child abuse case? Well, I guess Jehovah's Witnesses can't use that excuse EVER again!

by mind blown in

funny!

a few days ago on a thread i had mentioned how jw's always say this very thing and lookie what i just found and of all thing about child abuse within the watchtower society.

sounds like another smug jw.

Looks like the blog site needs a low key, non "apostate" comment on the latest announcement.

Just some personal ramblings. Move on if you want to argue.

okay, first of all: i like the earth, the polar bears, the whales, and any other part of the planet that someone wants to help.

i appreciate any efforts that people exert.

the planet is going through global warming and pumping exhaust from automobiles and factories and other sources does contribute to the global warming.
