  According to JW urban legend, Alex Trebek said it was the NWT.

  .....but then they went and changed it. Someone better tell Mr. Trebek there has been nulite and to update his info to the NNWT.

  Who compared the KH donation arrangement to that of a never ending mortgage?

  by Boeing Stratofortress in

  1. watchtower

  it was one of the commenters replying to another thread, but i cannot find it.

  it was a great rant & well thought out.

  it basically put in simple terms how the donation arrangement is like being forgiven of your 10 year mortgage, then being told you should 'donate' an amount equal to your monthly mortgage payment, but indefinitely.. i'd really like to find that person's reply, so i can use the same logic with some of my family members.

  The 10 year thing is really irrelevant. It could be 1 month left. Pay off your last $2000 mortgage this month.....and next month they're going to want another $2000.

  If a congregation paid off their bill 10 years ago, I'm sure they're going to want rent on the hall that has already been off.

  Questions for those that believe in Electricity

  by OnTheWayOut in

  you can't see electricity or hear it or feel it.

  well, there are sparks and lightning bolts and heating elements and the light and heat of filaments.

  and somehow, it lights up neon in a tube.

  Not a single creature would have the flight or fight instinct if they all wanted to die.

  I'll fess up that it might have been me that disliked stuckinarut2's comment last night. It's really easy to be scrolling though topics on my phone and hit dislike. On my computer it's a little harder since you have to intentionally hit the dislike button. On my phone however....

  Why people don't believe in God

  by pressman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  do you want to know why i think people don't believe in god?

  well i believe people don't want to believe in god because they are scared.

  they know that if they finally do gorge the confidence to believe in him, he might discipline them for their skepticism.

  Whatever god we're talking about here, if he's going to "discipline me for my skepticism", then he's a real asshole.

  Ayn Rand - Opinions?

  by cappytan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those of you familiar with ayn rand and her ideas on morality, rationality and reason, what is your opinion of those ideas?.

  i'm talking about her actual ideas, not the ideals that libertarianism has adopted and, in some cases, perverted.

  do you think she's a charlatan?

  Thanks for posting the videos. I'll watch those later.

  I have Atlas Shrugged and Fountainhead and maybe another. From what I've heard I know I'm not going to agree with her position but wanted to read them to get my own viewpoint. After I got through the first page of AS and glanced at the rest of the 1000+ pages of small print, I quickly decided I didn't want to spend my time on them. I've got tons of other stuff to read and I don't find myself in too many arguments over her philosophy.
