  Welcome andy, I've looked at this forum topic since you started it, good to see you've all kissed and made up.

  Anyone notice I'm no longer a newbie? I'm so excited I changed my avator to celebrate!

  Can a JW be disfellowshipped because of "Materialism"?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  keeping in mind these verses below:.

  for we have brought nothing into the world, and neither can we carry anything out.

  8 so, having sustenance and covering, we shall be content with these things.

  I can remember a pioneer, in the congregation I was in, moving back to his native Australia but stopping enroute for a trip to "the watchtower" in NY expressing his shock at the sight on limo's coming and going out of the "org's" compound.All those years of humble non-materialistic service and thats what the meagre contributions he was able to make were spent on.

  A jw would never be df'd for materialism, after all that is what the whole religion is founded on. You only have to consider the limo's in NY. It's not just the elders who are materialitic but the whole governing body.

  I don't know if it was just the congregation I was in but is there any elder who is not a pioneer that doesn't have a large house and company car?

  UK & IRELAND MAP

  by ballistic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had an idea that i could build a uk map of everyones location which would show you instantly who is in your area from jwd.. (it might be an idea to do a seperate us one aswell but i'll wait and see if this one takes off first, or if anyone from the us wants to volunteer to do that one).

  (and australia but you are all in the same backyard anyway - literally!!!).

  anyway, all you have to do is post or email me your username and town and i will draw you on the map above which will change gradually to include everyone!.
