Many say why should the WBTS pay taxes as a religion when other religion want tax exemption or charitable status and do not pay.One BIG,BIG,BIG difference the GOV'T cuts social programs knowing full well the Roman Catholics,Baptise,Lurther,Mormans and all other religions except WBTS will fill the void.So a majority of those tax free dollars that the other religion get, go to help the poor,feed poor families,clothes poor families,help in disaster areas.When 9/11 happened the R.C. gave over$28,000,000 to the victums of that disaster.What did the WBTS give a few thousands Mags.You now see the DIFFERENCE.

So how do the Anointed Fly at death? No soul..no spirit??????
by oompa inhas wt ever explained wtf does go to heaven?
we have no soul...but are souls...and spirit nephesh and pneuma or what ever is breath....like breath of life.....so what goes to heaven?
btw it is so funny about that resurrection scripture that we dont weep overmuch like the nations do "who have no hope" because almost all other religions have a heavenly hope and a strong one.

oompa you ask very good questions.You make me laugh.Ec.4:2 "And I congratulated the dead who had already died rather than the living who were still alive".Now why would someone want to congratulate a dead person and not a living human being.Isn't that wbts reasoning...totally backwards.

Front page of Watchtower's website
by Cindi_67 incan prisoners be reformed?.
all too often, prison is simply a training ground for more serious crimes.
but read how some inmates have been helped to make genuine changes.. .

The wbts always encourages their slaves to preach where there are people.Students have their own school territory.Working people have business territory.Then you have bus stops,parking lots,etc.Well now they have the pedophile territory.

Witnesses have no right to criticize
by edmond dantes init seems to me that the borg has no right to criticize apparent wrongs in the world because their members are not allowed to take part in politics.for instance how can they call something in the worldly system wrong if they do not vote against it or do something constructive to change the status quo.. it's no use them complaining about something they disagree with and at the same time opt out of the system .in other words, it's nothing to with them so tell them to clear off and mind their own business and leave the worlds wrongs to people who are trying to do something constructive about it.. words in the waktower will not cure anything, positive action gets things done .. for heavens sake how much more ink are they going to waste and how many more trees are they going to destroy before they realise actions speak louder than words?.

Questions about the Jehovah's Witness beliefs.
by Renegade infirst off, (these are in no particular order) i would like to make a point about the ransom.
jesus made a prayer to jehovah saying "take this cup away from me.
" the witnesses interpret this as jesus not wanting to blaspheme jehovah's name.

What I find ironic why God changed the language of the people so they would spread thoughout the world per wbts.If that was so then why did he have the Isrealites annihilate all these people of other languages.Remember the promised land,which he gave these people when he scattered them but changed his mind.Yeah,change their language and kill them.

A JW Nuclear Scientist
by inkling ini ran across this article of the official jw website today.i vaguely remember reading it when it was first printed inthe wt.
the nuclear physicist (with a doctorate from a unnamed school)telling his story unabashedly defends the witness world view and stand on scientific fact and recorded history.http://www.watchtower.org/e/20040122a/article_01.htmit was articles like these that successfully kept my doubtssubmerged for many years.
here are some of the more interesting quotes:when my wife informed me of this arrangement, i immediately opposed her.

Today's Watchtower Study
by nomoreguilt inparagraph 7. the things that a sincere christian needs to avoid are not limited to what the bible specifically prohibits.
as an example, consider this forthright statement: let marriage be honorable among all, and the marriage bed be without defilement, for god will judge fornicators and adulterers".
(hebrews 13:4) even non-christians and ones who know nothing of the bible would rightly conclude that this verse rules out commiting adultery.

SINcere christian and non-sincere christians know God's law on sex.Many,many many so called non-christain per wbts definition as well as many many many true christains that don't fit wbts definition of a christian don't believe or practice oral sex.So the problem of practicing oral sex must be prevant in the wbts.

Is the Watchtower Society in serious financial diffiCULTy?
by cultswatter injust to summarize:.
wt format change saves one wt mag per month.
no anouncment of the dc theme.

No I don't think they are in financial diffiCULTy.The CULT leaders will demand more from their slaves.Slaves are willing people who will simpify,sell their property and give everything to their CULT (gb gods).Then their are rich people who get sucked in to this cult without realizing who this evil god is.They suck blood from the local congregation by passing resolutions for money.Donate from C.A..D.C. etc.My understanding, one of the hugh apartment BLDGS in DUMBO was coverted to luxiury apartments for the public to purchase for mega dollars.Insider trading for wbts.
Bob
PS:The WBTS is selling a number of their properties privately, why?Why not let the market decide and get the highest price.
