  by gilwarrior in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for the almost 12 years my dad has owned and operated his own business (a bakery) in the houston area.

  i know that my father wants me to take over it some day and i would love to own my own business, but the problem is that my people skills are in the toilet.

  i tend to get frustrated very easily.

  If Armegeddon is so close.......

  by LDH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why don't any of the elders have plans for when it happens--kind of like a re-grouping thing?.

  ginny's post got me thinking.. why don't any of 'jehovah's people' know what to do during and after armeggedon if it's so important that they survive?!?!?.

  where is the secret book "surviving armegeddon?".

  Underage Membership - Legal Defense Against DF

  by obiefernandez in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this topic was inspired by the can you sue the watchtower... http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=21122&site=3.

  it appears that the legal defense of the society is based on voluntary association, and based on that membership a person is by law subject to the eclessiastical tribunals (judicial committees) of jehovah's witnesses.

  it immediately brings to mind the fact that many of us began association or were baptized while still minors.

  How do you feel about paying TAX?

  by sleepy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just had a shock today when i realised that i had just paid too much tax for last year.

  i had forgotten to add almost 1000 pounds expenses to my tax return.. oh yes i'm going to get some money back.but should i be so hasty, this money will go toward policing , education and many other important needs of society.. maybe it would just go to some corrupt official or politician who will spend it on a slap up meal.. so how do you feel about paying your taxes.

  are they too high or not high enought.. are there any better ways for keeping countries running smoothly.. also what taxes do you pay in other countries?.
