It is hard to imagine a mother killing her daughter.Who would or could do such a detestable act.

I can not comprehend just a terrible deed.The girl's father said"The center of my happiness is

shattered and hopes and dreams wiped away in one selfish act." No doubt many will talk about

this tragedy.

How about another tragedy that very few talk about (Religion).How many children are sacrificed (killed)

each year in the name of religion by listening to their leaders.How many thousands are ostracized

by not listening to their religious leaders.How many of these are killed by way of suicides because

they were ostracized.Yes it is hard to comprehend a mother killing her own daughter,Yet these

religious leader don't give a second thought to all the killing of poor innocent children.I cannot

believe .............................

What Have YOU Learned About Jehovah's Witnesses That You Didn't Know Before?

anything come to mind??

?.

bobld

Just listening to the elders prayers and the comments at the meetings. Makes one think that the G.B. is God.Also the

average J.W. has a very short memory and will believe everything that the G.B. says.Plus all the bs that I cannot

erase w/o getting in family trouble.

it was brought to my attention,how jehovah's is blessing the new arrangement.

of re-assigning of bethel family members (more like fired members).ex.

a single sister,jessica,visited her assignment and spent two futile weeks looking for housing.. the day before she was to return to bethel to pack her things,she was overjoyed when a local.

It was brought to my attention,how Jehovah's is blessing the new arrangement

of re-assigning of Bethel family members (more like fired members).Ex."For example,

a single sister,Jessica,visited her assignment and spent two futile weeks looking for housing.

The day before she was to return to Bethel to pack her things,she was overjoyed when a local

elder offered her a small house that she could rent for a modest amount."

Do they encourage single sisters to apply to Bethel?

What gives,a single sister assigned to a congregation and no one puts her up.

She has two weeks to find a place come hell or high water,because sister your apartment

at Bethel has been sold.So come back and get your things or they will be in the garbage.

The local elder is in the renting business,why is he not simplifying his life.Yet this elder

will get on the platform and talk about materialism.The big question is why did the local

elder wait for two weeks before offering this single sister a place to rent.God almighty,

the love and compassion this local elder showed this sister and takes money from her.

I am sure the sister saved a lot of money while she was at Bethel.Now why would the GB/FDS

print such story in their yearbook.What point are they trying to make?

The poor sister,spent two futile weeks looking for a place to stay and this selfish local elder

has a house for rent and does not tell the sister.With the economy the way it is,he could not

rent his house.So why not get some money out of this poor sister,shame,shame,shame local

elder/GB/FDS.

Stock Market Awake 2000

is buying stocks the same as gambling?

no per gb/fds.however,are the being truthful or are they using this as an excuse/justification of making big money on the stock exchange.as we know many have made big bucks (i think this incudes the wts) at the expanse of others(losers).the wts defends the stock market as being a part of a company and treat it no different than an employee working for (part of ) a company.

(see past wt/a).. help me understand this statement from awake.

bobld

Just to add to the above.

The R&F of Jehovah's Witnesses sincerely believe with their whole heart,mind,body and soul that the Governing body and the faithful and discreet slave of the Watchtower Bible and tract Society (GB/FDS/WTS) is God's visible spirit-directed organization on Earth.Also they believe the publications by the GB/FDS/WTS are spirit-directed.So when the GB/FDS/WTS approves of investing in the stock market(per their publications) the R&F of J.W. believe that it is ok to invest in the stock market.

However,in view of what has happened to the stock market in 2008,many brothers and sisters are saying are saying such things as:.........Corruption.Greedy,deceptive brokers,scam/con artists,ponzi schemes, materialism,Satan's organization,etc.etc.

In view of what the brothers and sisters are saying about the stock market,should not a judical committee be formed and these brothers and sisters be disfallowshipped because the are being critical of the GB/FDS/WTS.Also are they not causing division in the congregations.They are obvisiously going against the Faithful Slave and the spirit-directed organization.

Footnote:Will we see a correction in the Watchtower publication or new light in view of what has happened in the stock markets.

Help me understand this statement from Awake."No human knows the exact time for Armageddon,so a christian is obliged to make plans for the months and years ahead until the battle of Armageddon brings on the end to this world.People who are not successful financially-live beyond their means and are victims of materialism because they strive for what they cannot afford"

Those who have been in the truth a very loooooooooooooooooong time will remember the wise wisdom of the GB/FDS although I'am not sure if they were called that back there.

Bob

PS:So way back many many years it was aright to save for the future,because the end was when.I forgot with all the foreclosers and low real estate and all the money that the WTS has on hand they should get a whole lot of cheap land at the expanse of some poor souls.

Did you SAVE money by using a hotel on the recommended lodging list?

by truthseeker in

jw
friends

i haven't seen this question posted here before, but did any of you who stayed at one of the hotels on the society's recommended lodging list save money than if you attended a hotel not on the list?.

having seen a few of these lists, it seems the rates given are expensive..

bobld

I agree 100% with Quotes.It has nothing to do with the R&F saving money.As I have posted before the WT does it only for the money.I was told that the convention organizers will go the the brothers that they can trust and tell them to make the payment direct to watchtower convention.And not to the hotel because they have a certain number of room for free because the have reserved so many rooms.So the hotel in sences have given the WT a number of rooms to do whatever, thus the money making scheme.It is all about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Bob

PS:The brothers who are selected to make the payments to WT are only for the free rooms that the WT is alocated for that hotel.Also they say to the brother that he would be paying for the room anyways so it does not matter to the brother because he would be spending that money in any case.The only thing I am not sure if they issue him a tax receipt as a donation for which he could benefit for tax purposes.
