did my exam in attic greek today and found it surprisingly comfortable and am glad i braved it.

results in december.. this course has given me so much confidence and pleasure and i'm now wondering about learning koine greek too.

although i personally know the truth about the truth i do want to be able to help my family in the future if ever they come to a crises point regarding their faith and if ever they come to see that the wts has mislead them.

Do you consider yourself to be quiet or outgoing?

something someone said on one of the popularity topics got me to wondering who on the board is quiet and who are the outgoing ones in real life.

i'm a quiet person in real life, takes me a while to warm up to folks that i just meet, but if i really like a person my rarely used gift of gab comes out.. how about ya'll?.

Anyone Know JW's who Donated Inheritances, Estates,$$$ to WT Society ?
by flipper in

if so - without divulging any names , approximately how much was donated to the wt society ?

if you are aware of approximate amounts.

as many know the wt society yearly puts out calls in their publications for witnesses to donate trust funds, wills, inheritances, estates, jewelry, cars and whatever else they have to promote the aleged " kingdom interests " in furthering the " good news " around the world.. personally i feel it's all been a scam to continue exercising control over witnesses by influencing them to financially deprive themselves so the wt society can continue it's operations.

you probably can't see my first epic fail thread because i used firefox to post.

there's still some kind of glitch between a plugin i'm running, firefox posts, and ie.).
