we had our circuit assembly last weekend and this was one of the needs of the circuit.
one of the main points was mid week meeting attendance.
apparently the attendance is very low.
Right on, low attendance.About family worship night,I for one could not figure out why they called it
a loving provision for the faithful slave.I believe you should worship God every day and read the bible
every day.Not by some rule of some men in N.Y.
our friend, oompa, has passed away.
just recieved the news a couple of hours ago, and have almost no details.
it happened today or yesterday, he took his own life.
So sorry,RIP
I hate what religion does.
undercover, i was interested in your last post and how you felt that believing in god is a delusion.
i'm not interested in any debates over it but i saw you have been here for 10 years!
that's some stay!
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.

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.

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".

'Paying careful attention to any direction that we receive through Jehovah's organization(GB) and applying it at once.

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 posted on another thread about a couple of my experiences of meeting the governing body while i was in brooklyn.
i wanted to see if anyone else had any experiences along these same lines.
i met most of the ones that were current during the 2001-2003 years.
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.
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.
