  Because we have a brain.

  All through life we all try different things.Like Amway, only to find it's a scam.

  Some are born into the R.C. and find how bad it is, so they try J.W. only to find how bad it is.

  THose born in J.W. land find how bad it is and try something else.We all try different jobs.some we like

  others we hate but do it because it puts food on the table.That's life.

  German court warns Catholic to pay C.T. of face expulsion.(Indepentant uk news)

  The German State collects a religious tax on individual registered R.C.,Protestant and Jews since the 19th century.

  Then funnels back to the respective religious bodies.The levy amounts to between 8-9% of an annual Incone tax bill.

  I bet the WBTS does not challenge this,because they get a lot of money without asking or saying this is supported

  bt voluntary donations.So WBTS what happens when your JW is a poorly paid parttime worker.Cuts

  into your revenue does it not. I bet you like highly paid workers in Germany.

  David kills 200 men and cut thier foreskins off (6 years old asks what are foreshins?)

  Davis has sex with another man's wife and kills her husband( 5 year old ask do people kill to have sex)

  David disobeys god and 70,000 die.

  How about totally destruction of the Amalekies;every man,woman,child,baby,cattle,sheep and donkeys gets killed.

  one more how about cutting a baby in half that will scare any child.

  The gb always say to make the bible reading alive.I say it scares the bejesus out of the kids.

  'paying careful attention to any direction that we receive through jehovah's organization(gb) and applying it at once.. many who have rid themselves of needless debt can testify that applying wise counsel(of the gb) to simplify their life.

  has benefited them during the recent economic crises".

  has benefited them during the recent economic crises"

  That statement reminded me of what a bethelite said some years ago in his closing talk at a circuit assembly.

  Quote"3,300 were told (were told) to leave New York bethel.How much more could they simplify-GB.

  p3-6 ECUADOR-Lack of basic services such as electricity and running water.Heat,dust lack of hot showers.

  How much more can thet simplify-GB.

  p25 In a number of lands where living conditions are chellenging many publishers have a simple lifestyle.

  Is your statement applicable and wise.

  No it is your selfish greed to kick 3,300 poor soul out ot HQ so you could make a fast buck when the real estate was hot.

  You should read your wt mag before you publish it.

  I personally heard two GB menbers speak(gp.sh),they are good speakers and are sincere.

  I totally disagree of those who protray that the GB are good people.I have no use for anyone

  who has destroyed and ruin families with their propaganda.Such families as Bowen,Anderson,lady Lee

  and others.Dictators are good speakers and are good people to some but look at the damage to others.

  Christ alone said "They believe they are Jehovahs chosen people and that he deals with them directly."

  He also mentioned a lot of other things the the GB thinks highly of themselves. I say it more like

  AUDITORYHALLUCINTIONS.Maybe they have psychosis or are psychotic and hear voives or are delusionally.

  Believing in God - Challenge

  by jgnat in

  2. beliefs

  i invite king solomon and anyone else that is interested, to discuss if believing in god may be helpful.

  i am not restricting the discussion to the biblical god.

  i'm ready to look if this belief may be helpful both from a societal and from an individual point of view.

  By the looks of the world today, it seems that a believe in a higher power is bad for mankind.

  Did you know that God will terminate your supervisors employment, and give you their old job?

  by Theocratic Sedition in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  according to the wt study yesterday, that's what happened.. 16. by allowing jehovah to instruct us and lead us in the path of uprightness, we will have no cause for fear.

  when a regular pioneer in the united states applied for a job that would help him to keep his entire family in full-time service, his supervisor told him that he would never get that position without a college degree.

  had this happened to you, would you have regretted pursuing full-time service to the exclusion of seeking higher education?

  About the girl finding cash,I cannot for the life of me figure out why they ALWAYS SAY

  "do you know why I gave this cash back,BECAUSE I AM A JEHOVAHS WITNESSES"

  Any normal human being will turn it in without batting an eye,because it is the right

  thing to do.Also if you advertize something like that, it does not come from the heart

  but obligation.To me it is shameful if you have to say because I am so and so.You

  are not being honest.
