Blondie,no names on the forms.In the past they used this methods to raise money for local K.H.which was very successful.Now they want to go country wide.

pledge forms will be issued to all brothers & sisters requesting for donations for k.h.,assembly halls,reno of k.h.etc.they did give some poor excuse as why this was necessary.my guess is that the brothers who made interest free loans to the wbts are asking for these loans back because of all the layoffs and the down turn in the economy.. bob.

just had lunch with a inactive jw friend of mine who is well on her way out.
she said that when the she went to the kingdom hall the week of the circuit overseers visit, he said from the platform, that if anyone had done any wrong doing in the past, no matter how long ago, and had never come forward to tell the elders, then they would not make it into the new system, but would rather die at armegedon!!.
i guess after that talk the elders were inindated and they began privately, and publically reproving, and removing ones!!
q3 how did israel differ from other nations in matters involving warfare?
(deut.20:10-15,19,20;21:10-13)cl pp134-135,par.17).
some answers,people were first given a choice,they did not kill indiscriminately.

Some answers,people were first given a choice,They did not kill indiscriminately."men of Israel's army were not allowed to rape women or engage in wanton slaughter"Try reading 1 Sam.15:3 and tell me that killing babies is not wanton slaughter also killing all animals.Deut.20:10-15 killing only males included male babies and the women are treated as property.

hi folks,.
i have a real serious question that i hope you will be able to help me with.. in the 4-1-1986 watchtower, pages 30-31 it talks about "approved association".
what i'm seeking your opinion about is this: if a baptized jw is deemed to not be an 'approved associate' at some point (due to his having developed a divergent view regarding one or more of the watchtower's unique teachings) does his 'not being an approved associate' mean that the watchtower society no longer considers him to be a jw?
Yeah you get the shift,the R&F are brainwashed not to associate with you.The WBTS religion has unique beliefs as you stated "beliefs that are unique to J.W." that is why they have two WT'S one for the public and one for the members only because of their unique beliefs that the public does not understand.Why would the public when those things are not in the bible.

question :.
why is 'pioneering' a 'privilege' when every jw goes out in ministry anyway.
even those who have lost privileges, or been disciplined, or been reinstated after being disfellowshipped are still expected to go out in the ministry.
What is the matter with todays pioneers,when you look at the last 10 years of C.A. & SAD no one gets baptised but the children of J.W.(maybe some outsiders but they are few and far in between).Their service is to please man or I should say the GB/F Slave.Noboby but nobody is that inept or unproductive as J.W.pioneers.They should go green and not polute the Earth ,just park your cars.

foreword: "secular education is shortsighted.true a good education is a basic need,it can be the difference between deing able to provide for your family or not.benefits of secular education is limited.education cannot guarantee life" just some wise council for the gb/fds of the wbts.. "there is a type of education that can benefit us eternally.
(study god's word and the wbts, wt/a, publications) will guarantee life (bs).divine education helps us to pursue what is good and avoid what is bad.
" i know many good educated people who do good and avoid bad.also i know many who lack a good education who do good things and do bad things.education has nothing to do with being good or bad(look out santa clus knows).

Why knock education,look at yourselves(GB/FDS) in the mirror.You make good use of well educated people.ie Doctors,Lawyers oh yeah you got the best educated ones in your HQ and/or source the best ones.What about the latest technology on BLOOD fractions that you made use of the corrupt the scriptures.If you hate education so much,why don't you live like the Amish.Go back to horse and buggy days.Why do you fly in jet planes today,did some divine educated person invent them along all the modern day IT that you make use of and update to the latest as something new comes along.
