the latest release, live with jehovah's day in mind, states on page 107:a christian who loves kindness will certianly not exploit his fellow worshippers.
for example, he realises that it would be neither proper nor kind to start a business or promote an investment scheme that targets felllow believers as the main customers.
it would display greed, which christians are warned against, to plan on making money hastily by exploitng fellow christians.
When brothers™ cheat each other in shady business deals (as is often the case) they suffer financial hardship. That means less money finds its way into donation boxes. I'm sure the society would rather see its members cheat "worldly" people.
Good point. Protecting their own interests at all costs.
do you find yourself scanning the posts of new ones here hoping in the back of your mind that it's a friend or relative who has finally "seen the light"?.
there are several people i am always watching for.... my best friend from high school, the only friend i was allowed to have since she was the only girl my age in the kh.
and my brothers... extremely bright and intelligent guys, but very wrapped up in gaining my fathers and the congregations approval.
If I ever saw my father on here, I would immediately rush out and buy a lottery ticket and a hard hat.
The ticket to test my luck, and the hardhat because the moon would soon fall from the sky.
However, it is a man's dreams that keeps him going.

Perhaps just another "do as we say, not as we do" example???
my first post.
i'm new posting, but i feel like i now everybody here since i have been reading this forum since last year.
ok. to the thing: i would like to know if somebody here has a copy of the watchtower april 15, 1928 page 162, where it talks about that the bible has mistakes.
Welcome to the board Pixel. Glad to have you aboard..
topics she/ he(?
) wants to discuss are the watchtower un-ngo and 587-607 b.c.
} also badmouthed silent lambs, etc.
I think I'll sit this one out. No need to fool with the blood pressure today.

before i found this website, i accepted the fact that i was going to be destroyed at armageddon.
but now that i know it's a big lie, i don't worry about that.. but just for fun, if you could choose your armageddonly death, how would you like to go?
Old age.
i've been struggling for quite some time now about continuing my exploration of the jehovah witness faith.
i am a "cradle" catholic and have been very involved with the church.
i started to become disillusioned several months back with all of the tradition, habits, and teachings of the church--which i began to seriously doubt.
Welcome.
Only you can answer that question. If you feel that it is the right thing for you, then...
Personally, I would run hard and fast in the opposite direction.

ok, you went on google and searched for...................
What did you first go search for when you had your first computer?
Someone who knew how the hell to make it work.
i was just skimming through lt's intolerance thread and it seemed to me that sometimes tolerance is a terrible thing.
we don't tolerate racism, sexism or abuse and punish it when we can.
we expose and ridicule individuals and corporations if they are found guilty of fraud or deceit because we are intolerant of dishonesty.
Personally, I am about as tolerant as a pipe bomb. I have no time for foolishness nor stupidity. Life is way too short to have to put up with the type of crap some love to shovel on others.
i have been inactive from jws since 2003. i don't post here very much -- do more reading than posting.
but i just had to tell y'all that i got a one-page tract this evening which is an invitation to attend the deliverance at hand convention.. yes...the end is coming pretty soon because never before in jw history has an invitation or tract been distributed to a city not designated a convention city.. the end is also coming pretty soon because i was told at the convention there will be a lot of talks about noah and what he faced.. in addition, the end is very near because later on this year there will be several announcements coming from the society.
wow!
Count me in too IP, I'll start saving up my old nappies to toss at him, as well.
