Literature Price List at your Hall?
by Free2Bme inmy mum was telling me today that her congregation has a list of guide prices for the literature so that brothers have an idea what they should be contributing.
she has been told it was put up in response to request.. i am curious to find out if this is general practice or what?.

Thanks for the reply JH.
I find it bizarre that the literature is supplied for no fixed charge (but contributions are accepted) and yet a price list is posted up!!
As I have commented in another thread videos are £10 which must be a hell of a mark-up.
It's not like they star Kevin Costner or are directed by Spielburg is it?Free

Anybody prepared to give a serious estimate?
I've really no idea. The 'guide' price for it's videos from the WT society is £10.
I want my JW mum to know that even on a contribution basis the WT is making big bucks.TY

I was sweet 16, it was 1979, and it was some swimming pool in Scarborough. I remember being very self-conscious so I put a t-shirt on over my cossie which looks even worse when you're hauling yourself out soaked to the skin! Coulda died cos a young brother who'd been sniffing around for a while turned out to be the official photographer and was pointing his damn camera at me every where I turned.
Remember getting a watch off my mum so that was cool.
Mmmm some fond memories of those Scarborough assemblies.Free

by JUSTAMOM inhello to all today:.

A Guest,
Please get off your soap box for a second. You sound a lot like a Catholic priest trying to strike fear of God into his congregation with threats of hell and damnation.
What is your point? We have no rights to avenge? So?
God has the right to avenge? Fair enough.
So we should tremble with fear because God is going to take revenge or as you put it 'fall into His hands for the sins of your mouth'.Well if you are right about your concept of God (what a cheery one that is!) perhaps we will die...but only once. For us the struggle to please the angry God of the bible as you see Him will be over. Yours' as a righteous God-fearing person will continue FOREVER. Test after test after test. I pray for you DEAR ONE that you will never stumble from your exalted position.
Naeblis made a valid point. Where is the justice in destroying a baby that has never had the chance to exercise free will? Your argument does not hold up.
It is precisely your condescending attitude that drives people away from God. What sort of message do you think you portray with your vengeance 'God's gonna get you ' sermon?
Where is the love?Free

Hi Petermanna,
Welcome to the discussion board.
Don't worry about your English. It's a lot better than my husband's. He's Turkish and we have had a lot of laughs over things he has said or written over the years. Anyone who suggested he was thick or daft because his English needs a bit of work would have me to answer to. But unfortunately some people do treat him like that. I must have looked like a buffoon in Turkey then because I could hardly string a sentence together let alone write it!!!
If you are interested in finding information on JW topics a bit more reliable than the 'time' one why not use the links at the bottom of this page, have a look around and follow their links. For obvious reasons JW's will discourage you from seeking information not contained within their literature but the great thing about some of the articles in these sites is that they refer you to actual JW publications so you can verify the facts. The society has done a great job of making a fool of themselves.
If you want a specific topic thrashed out just post it in here and we'll do our best to help with minimum misunderstandings.

To All Here..... just a question....
by 7robert7 ini'm just curious as to how many ex-witnesses here still believe in the god of the bible ?
and how many, due to the societies teachings have given up on god all together ?

Hi,
I'd just like to say it's been a long journey since I became an ex-JW to the point I am at now. I believe in God, a creative force, but struggle to reconcile my concept of Him with the biblical god.
I puzzled over some things I read in the bible as a Witness but I accepted it as the Word of God as such. Now I look at it without the rose-coloured glasses and quite often don't like or believe what I see.

Question re: REVELATION
by Amazing inrecently i read some information that state the catholic church now admits that the apostle john definitely did not write the bible book of revelation.
also, another source stated that revelation may not be an 'inspired canonical' book.
rather, revelation may be the work of a raving lunatic imprisoned on patmos, who had illusions of grandeur, and may have been on drugs as he invented this fantasy we call also call apocalypse.
