i thought this article had some interesting interesting comments including this, "if a pastor or church leader has ever told you that the bible commands christians to tithe or give 10% of their income; hit you up for multiple offerings during one service; made you march up front to give; asked you to donate to a mysterious "building fund" or give a "first-fruit" offering; or even given special recognition to big givers in your congregation, lee and other pastors have a message for you:.
you are getting played.. these rituals, they say, violate new testament teachings about how and why people should give.
The widow part was awesome. And his part in quotes about mystery building funds and first fruits sounds like he watched the May broadcast.
if he hasn't I would like to try and reach out to him to get his take on our Mr Lett.
to me the widow thing is bombshell for the may money beg.
wt is insinuating, worse yet, blaming senior jw parents for there not being more younger brothers reaching out to be ministerial servants and elders.
page 11 paragraph 9 reads as follows: .
"elders in affluent lands may face an added challenge: how to motivate baptized brothers in their 20s or 30s to get involved in congregation activities.
in our super cappy fallacious public talk today.
i kept hearing "we do jehovahs will" "do jehovahs will" "not our will...jehovahs" there was a lot of crap in the talk to be irritated by.
but this got me thinking.... if you are required under penalty of death!

if you were at the watchtower how many times did you hear this idiotic condescending word?
i think i must have heard it 500 times.
the learner.
I even told the wife (a pioneer diehard) I hope that "learners" doesn't become ingrained in jw terminology. She agreed.
Your average rank and file reads this trash and thinks it spew out of the butt in golden clouds of the gb. Truth be told it's writing department shleps who do all this. I knew them. If they had any idea who was dictating their faith and life to them ...

This was an hour of cendecendence I have no idea how I was able to sit through.

I think I must have heard it 500 times. The learner. The learner. The learner. This will be a new mainstay in jw terminology I fear. Sounds so stupid.
whether you are a christian, jew, undecided, agnostic, or atheist, isn't having the attitude that only ***your*** interpretation of the bible could be correct, or only ***you*** know what the bible means, -- .
isn't this a form of closed-mindedness, arrogance, and a superiority complex?.
in addition, isn't trying to force someone to conform to ***your*** interpretation of the bible the opposite of "freethinking?
Point taken outlaw. No pun intended
And FT you were right all along! I now believe the earth is flat. Because it's my freedom of interpretation. And witches should be drowned. Oh what an age of enlightenment you have given us. My mind is open to believe anything. Even if money hungry religious people are pissing on my leg and telling me it's raining. Who am I to say it's not after all right Mr Theism??
