  Name Things JWs Believe That Are Not Actually Biblically Provable

  by minimus in

  here's one example: being a congregation publisher.

  nowhere in the bible does it say you should be a "publisher" and turn in your time if you preach.

  they try to twist the scriptures by saying that numbers are constantly being recorded in the bible so then conforming to the rules of being a publisher is from the scriptures.. yeah, right..

  ok, maybe endeavor would be a better choice of words, but here goes.. this past year, both my daughters have given me some good smelling perfume - about 8 bottles, in fact.

  it's too hot down here to wear perfume, so i've come up with what i hope is a good solution.. last saturday, i bought a corked container at the goodwill store for about $1.. i'm going to pry the atomizer off the bottles of perfume, pour the perfume into that container, and re-cork it.. when i take a bath, i will add a few drops of the perfume to my water, and i should emerge smelling like a rose!.

  sylvia.

  That's a great thought, Sue, but I've opened and used all of them.

  
  
  Alrighty then, enjoy them in good health!
  
  

  Luxuriate.....please, please don't experiment, but enjoy, enjoy, most women never have real perfume in their lives. What darling daughters you must have!

  Hey, I've done the perfume on light bulbs thing, too! There was a vanilla-based scent I was gifted at the office, that I didn't care to wear. But my apartment at the time smelled heavenly every time I turned the lights on after a hard day's work.
  
  Also, if you know of a shelter for battered women in your area, the residents typically can't afford such fineries and would be glad for the donation (unopened unused bottles, of course).

  $134B In Seized U.S. Treasury Bonds Are "Fakes"

  June 17, 2009 4:34 PM EDT
  
  A spokesman for the U.S. Bureau of Public Debt said the recently seized $134 billion of U.S. Treasury Bonds in Italy are fakes, according to reports from Bloomberg.
  
  Stephen Meyerhardt said, "They're clearly fakes. That's beyond the fact that the face value is far beyond what's out there"
  
  U.S. records shows that there are an estimated $105.4 billion in bearer bonds that have yet to be surrendered, with most maturing more than five years ago. The Treasury stopped issuing bearer bonds in 1982.
  
  Last week, Italian police seized the bonds from two Japanese travelers who were carrying the bonds in the false bottom on a suitcase and trying to cross into Switzerland.

  Were your kids distressed after time with JWs?

  by hamsterbait in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i am asking this as i think testimony from first hand could help people see what danger they leave their children in with jw baby sitters etc.. my friends let their 10 yr old daughter stay the weekend with her jw cousins.. when she came back she was having nightmares, bursting into tears, clingy (as her mother might be killed at armageddon before she got home from school).

  and asking explicit sexual questions, (yes they had taken her to the kingdumb hell).

  i am repeating this post as it disappeared the first time.

  This sounds like something out of the Dark Ages.
  
  I urge you, please report Megan's parents to the authorities, there has to be some law about abusing and/or neglecting defenseless, disabled family members.
  
  Try The Arc for advice. At the very least, the local police should know what's going on in that family AND the fact that an entire congregation sits by silently condoning it.
  
  It's not like she is free to leave on her own, she is basically a hostage to these cruel and senseless robots.

  The article states that the 14th Amendment was originally intended to settle the status of former slaves.

  Quote: "I don’t think anybody could logically argue then that (its writers knew) that we would see a time where 1 out of every 10 births in this country is to an illegal immigrant."
