  We have control over ourselves only to a certain degree.

  For example, we can do nothing to alter the aging/dying process.

  So, I would say that free will is relative.

  REMEMBER THOSE IN NURSING HOMES

  by The Searcher in

  when i saw this article's title in the latest kingdom ministry - http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/bible/278822/1/june-2014-kingdom-ministry-km-06-2014-pdf - i was delighted!!.

  i thought, "at last, we are all being encouraged to visit our poor brothers & sisters in nursing homes, who feel abandoned!.

  nope, that's not it - it's all about targetting non-witnesses in those establishments, and get them to sign up for "bible" studies.

  It's about keeping everyone busy and believing they are doing something special.

  Busy people don't question or cause problems for the organization.

  It's an old South plantation mentality, I tell you.

  So, you would prefer being an automaton?

  Or, simply not being?

  Exactly!

  We can choose to die - even before our time expires.

  Would you like to NOT have that freedom?

  Oh, just now saw the post about Acts 13:19-20.

  I'm trying to figure out how Paul arrived at that figure.

  The closest I've come, based on the Book of Jasher, is 445 years.

  Is this new donation arrangement for real?

  by nugget in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just read a post on jwsurvey about the new donation arrangement.

  congregations are to pledge a monthly amount to be sent to the society to fund the building of assembly halls and kingdom halls.

  congregations who already have a loan from the society will no longer have to pay back the loan but the amount pledged should not be less than the current monthly repayments to the society.

  What has been revealed is that nothing is too farfetched for the WT organization.

  Their demise looms, they can sense it.

  They've never had to deal with anything like this before.

  Let us just stay calm and allow the "moles" to do their thing.
