  France Taxation

  by Omegaman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember reading some posts some time back about the society trying to avoid paying taxes in france and using the courts.. i wondered how this could be true, since the org would always say to us rank and file to pay back to cesar what belongs to him.. .

  the org has no problem with reporting on this in their 2007 yearbook they give a report on france .

  in a nutshell the french government (caesar) requests them to pay taxes, do they do so.

  i'm looking for recent information about the wt society discouraging jws from going to college.

  i already have the 2005 wt article which went back to the old line discourging post-secondary education.

  are there other statements from our kingdom ministry or more recent watchtowers since then?.

  Remember the slide presentations

  by Omegaman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how many of you remember how special the meetings were when we found out they were going to show slides instead of a public talk.

  when i was a kid i remember how excited i was..........i still remember some of the slides.

  an old one from the 70's where a blind girl keeps asking her dad when she will be able to see this and that and the father would say " in the new system my dear".

  Isn't the light supposed to be getting brighter?

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ask any jw about the flip-flops in doctrine, and within a few moments, you'll be hearing about proverbs 4:18, the one about the "path getting brighter".

  i.e., "our understanding has increased, so we had to make an adjustment.".

  i was just thinking about the last major changes in jw doctrine over the past dozen years or so...does this sound like light getting "brighter"?.

  Norway

  by InquiryMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in norway, the ombudsman of children s welfare intervened and a lot of fuss were made when it was made clear that jws endorsed corporal punishment in their publications even though it was banned by law.

  it was even mentioned in the national news.

  the coordinator was even interviewed on tv and the day after it was proven from the wt indexes that he had been lying.... i remember it was very embarrassing.

  let it be this board or any other board, are you comfortable with the fact that whatever you post on the internet will be viewable for a long time.. maybe when you'll be very old, you'll find posts that you made a very long time ago..

  Religion = middleman

  by Omegaman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  think about this: god gave mankind a guide book on who he is , how we should live our lives and his purposes this book is the bible or in some cultures the koran.

  whether christian, jew or muslim we all accept this to be true .

  also god has provided us a 24x7 way of communicating with him day or night - prayer where we can talk about anything to god and he hears and answers us .

  Counting Time

  by Xena in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't know about anyone else but this could be the source of major contention between dubs in my halls.

  you had those who started their time as soon as you pulled out of the hall parking lot (me), those who counted from the first knock at the door or laundry mat visited, and the die hards who didn't start until they actually spoke to someone(my sister).

  my sister and i would go round and round about this, i finally just pretended to start my time when she did just to shut her up.

  religion sells hope

  by Omegaman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  karl marx had it right when he said religion is opium (drug) for the people.

  think about it, when a person is on drugs they feel wonderful, they would appear happy if you asked them how they feel they would say on top of the world very happy..but the reality is they may have lost their home, bank accounts, family and have nothing tangible to show for there lives.

  does this sound familiar?.
