  But what was written in the book (or should I say letter) of Timothy was not "God's word", it was Paul's words. The words were not even Jesus' words, however I do "reject empty speeches" since I don't listen to their bullshit anymore.

  Is this new donation arrangement for real?

  by nugget in

  2. beliefs

  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.

  LHG, a lot of the people still in the organization are not trapped it. Many of them want to believe it because they are getting some benefit from the organization and they will do anything the organization tells them to; a lot of people that are still in are that far gone and can't and will not change. It's like a terminal cancer there is no cure for and the patient will take the belief with them to their graves.

  Books!

  i feel like i wasn't allowed to read a lot of books when i was younger, a lot of which i'm discovering are positivly phenomenal.. i was allowed to read edgar allan poe, who remains my all time favorite writer.

  but, i've discovered the joys of stephen king, anne rice, joyce carrol oats, neil gaiman, george r. martin, david sedaris... and so so so many more.. i'm currently getting through "the shining" so i can move on to "doctor sleep".

  i'm interested to see if anyone else that discovered the many joys of "worldly" literature, jumped immediately into what they weren't allowed to read... and what was your favorite?.

  Right now I'm about to start A Prologue To Love by Taylor Caldwell. I read her book Captains and the Kings and I was hooked to her writing. I read Testimony of Two Men and Ceremony of the Innocent and The Devil's Advocate. Many of her paperback covers of her books look like cheap romance novels, however within her writings are deep insights into human nature and world events.

  I have not read any Taylor Caldwell book that I didn't like. Most of her books have been out of print for years. Some are available in Kindle format, however Testimony of Two Men and Dear and Glorious Physician are now back in print.

  Captains and the Kings by Taylor Caldwell. Another interesting book by her if you can find a copy of it is The Devil's Advocate written in 1952, which is similar to 1984.

  once when i was profoundly sad for too many days, my brother in law sent us a mix tape.

  he named each song after a person in our family.

  this is the one he named heather.

  Children

  i used to wonder why does society pressure women who do not want children to have children?

  i mean some people are content not having children so my thing is why is their so much pressure from peers,family and people in general.

  to bear children?.

  When I was baptized in 1987 at the "Trust In Jehovah" District Convention there was a talk entitled Childbearing (or it may have been Childrearing) at the Time of the End and it had a discouraging tone of having children during that time since the end was so close.
