Do JWs ever use their donations/WT profits to help the less-fortunate?
by sonnyboy ini was a jw for a number of years as a kid, but i don't remember them doing anything to help the community.
many churches in my area have soup kitchens, clothing/toy drives, and other services to help people in need.
do jehovah's witnesses ever use proceeds in this way, or are they all used to make more watchtowers, books, and kingdom halls?

t he Sith however think about themselves and as part of their pride they seek to establish a proper order for the benefit of others who aren't so esteemed as to do it for themselves.
So the JWs are actually members of the Sith?
I knew Star Wars was real!

The world will end in 1879-1914-1918-1925-1942-1975- I guess they gave up
by JohnHag inforget about all those dates friends--the world ended in 1914--thats what rusell said--he was the first slick slave class--so he must know--did i miss some dates?
there are so many i probably missed a few--i was in this nonsense for 32 years and i half way believed it--but i never believed it 100 percent--thank god for ray franz---that guy was all class--i am at a point now that i dont know what to believe--but i know one thing--:"never again will i fear men----never again will i be a respector of men---i have seen all this little so called power grab called privleges--that is just a ticket for a man to walk around like a rooster---you all know how a rooster walks around the yard--when i used to get there on thursday night all 8 elders would be walking around shuffling paper like they do at the pentagon or the cia---a congreation of about 70 and all this paper work--or was it all a showy display?it was a peivlege to clean the toilets--can you imagine that?
i used to go to clean the hall and it didnt even need cleaning--but one had to act like he was doing something--i used to hate getting dressed up for those 5 meetings--i now wear anything i want--i let my hair grow anyway i want--if i want a beard i grow it--no more fear of those big elders--those elders loved judical comittes--it meant they could now be like a lawyer and a judge--power- power--thats what its all about--thanks for letting me share--the hag

I don't know why they'd be arrogant enough to guess in the first place.
How many thieves in the night let you know when they're coming?

If the WTBTS is listed as contributor the WTBTS would get off the list because they don't contribute to 'worldly organisations.' So, in answer to your question, NO the WTBTS is a freaking CULT and all proceeds go to them and no one else.
Wow, I was hoping I was wrong for some reason.
How the **** are they following Christ's example (if he existed at all)? In the stories of Jesus, he helped and showed compassion to everyone, not just to a select few self-righteous drones in his clique. These people are just as Christian as the gum I scraped off the bottom of my shoe.
I'm really learning a lot here. I need to turn my parents on to this forum; although they no longer go to weekly service, they still attend the memorial every year.

What JW Things Did You Have A Hard Time To Let Go?
by minimus ini had a hard time accepting that jehovah's witnesses are a cult.
i would even agree that they might be "cult like" but i didn't want to accept that i indeed was part of a cult.....what about you?

I used to be stuck on the everlasting life thing until I contemplated who I'd be spending it with.
If I was sentenced to spend eternity acting like a straight-laced JW I'd find some way to kill myself.

Fly 2.4 billion light years in 2 minutes
by seattleniceguy inresearchers at the max planck institute have wrapped up the largest supercomputer simulation ever to study the growth of galaxies and black holes.
using 25 terabytes of data, and crunching it for a month, they have produced, among other things, a computer animation that allows you to fly 2.4 billion light years through the universe in about two minutes.. the bright spots in the movies are galaxies.
seeing this movie makes it seem highly dubious that we are the only life in the universe.. the article contains links to three movies.

If the Pompeii worm can adapt to survive in hydrothermal vents with temperatures up to 194 degrees fahrenheit, I'm sure life can find a way in much more inhospitable environments. Less-complex organisms can exist in temperatures up to 700 degrees.
I'm sure there are thousands of planets out there with the capacity to sustain life as we know it, but I don't think that a planet would necessarily need the ingredients we consider essential to produce life. The environment on other worlds may be ideal for some form of noncarbon-based life.
There very well may be life on every planet of our solar system. I always theorized that if these "gray aliens" are real, they most likely live beneath the ground (due to their pale skin and large, light-gathering eyes) or on a gaseous planet in which the sun's rays don't fully penetrate the atmosphere.

This will make you laugh.
by skyman insunday's talk.
my dad came home mad and told me.
the speaker said "that all the main chruches of this world have joined the un but only the witnesses have not committed fornication by joining her.

Statements like that are what caused me to abandon those arrogant, judgmental, masochistic, self-righteous fruitcakes.

Secondly, their sin was passed down to every person ever born
How nice of your god to curse the entire human race because his original "creations" were flawed.
How can a 'perfect' being create something imperfect? Stew on that for a while.
Before you throw in that tired "free will" argument, free will showed just how imperfect Adam and Eve were (humoring the possibility that they existed in the first place).
