If the WTS started off in Australia, do you think they would be different?
by inquirer inor do you think they would be still be demanding and cult like?
do you think they would be a little more laid back in australia?
there would possibly be someone with a similar name, a lot of irish people came to australia as well.

BREAKDOWN OF UK WATCHTOWER FINANCES 2003
by diamondblue1974 inincome derived for 2003 = 20million in the uk alone...if this isnt a business i dont know what is... .
ibsa charged wtbts = 4million for accomodation and 'other facilities' for volunteers...are we to assume this is for the bethelites.....it doesnt cost 4million to house the volunteers and feed them does it??
the wtbts paid close to 0.75 million in management and administration....so that means that the management of the company earn close to 3/4million between them????

weird reasoning...
by zaphod ina cousin of mine was married to a brother at seventeen for two years.
they both pioneered and were, evidently, a happy spiritual couple.. my cousin realised that she had made a huge mistake marrying this brother, as they both were hormonally charged teenagers who had followed paul's advice to get married if they could not go without sex.
she just did not love him any more and she felt trapped by the jw stance on divorce.. this was her escape plan:.

A very similar thing happened in our old district. The DO had an affair with a sister, so they confessed knowing that they would get DF'd. The plan was for a divorce to come through so that they could marry. Unfortunately, the DO also confessed to his plan and his intention to serve his time and marry his lover. The JC Df'd them for a 10 year minimum period.

I have some awful friends. Loud, demanding, boorish, mean, cantankerous, boozy, critical, flirtatious, foul-mouthed and generally obnoxious in every possible way.
But they're still my friends. I love 'em all, warts and all.
Years ago, as a po-faced snotty little witness, anyone who wanted to be my friend would have had to pass some sort of "test" as to their suitability as to becoming a potential friend of mine.
I'm certainly glad to be past all of that nonsense! Now I believe in loving people for their weaknesses as well as their strengths.
Don't you?

I'm not one to get into celebrity gossip but,
by heatherg inwhat do you all think of prince charles and camilla?
i think it's horrible and teaching a horrible lesson.
look at us, it' okay to cheat on your spouses, because in the end we'll get each other anyway.

I'm reliably informed that Camilla is actually a whole barrel of laughs, a jolly gal, totally non-moody and full of beans. I can see that would be quite interesting after the moody Diana.

did snakes have legs
by tijkmo inquestions from readers.
did the serpent lose legs or feet as means of movement as a result of the divine curse recorded at genesis 3:14?.
at genesis 3:14 we are told: "and jehovah god proceeded to say to the serpent: ?because you have done this thing, you are the cursed one out of all the domestic animals and out of all the wild beasts of the field.
