  19 “But a certain man was rich, and he used to deck himself with purple and linen, enjoying himself from day to day with magnificence. 20 But a certain beggar named Laz´a·rus used to be put at his gate, full of ulcers 21 and desiring to be filled with the things dropping from the table of the rich man. Yes, too, the dogs would come and lick his ulcers. 22 Now in course of time the beggar died and he was carried off by the angels to the bosom [position] of Abraham.

  “Also, the rich man died and was buried. 23 And in Ha´des he lifted up his eyes, he existing in torments, and he saw Abraham afar off and Laz´a·rus in the bosom [position] with him. 24 So he called and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Laz´a·rus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in anguish in this blazing fire.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you received in full your good things in your lifetime, but Laz´a·rus correspondingly the injurious things. Now, however, he is having comfort here but you are in anguish. 26 And besides all these things, a great chasm has been fixed between us and YOU people, so that those wanting to go over from here to YOU people cannot, neither may people cross over from there to us.’ 27 Then he said, ‘In that event I ask you, father, to send him to the house of my father, 28 for I have five brothers, in order that he may give them a thorough witness, that they also should not get into this place of torment.’ 29 But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to these.’ 30 Then he said, ‘No, indeed, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them they will repent.’ 31 But he said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone rises from the dead.’”

  Kingdom Hall Accounts Report

  by Honesty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why doesn't the watchtower society allow accounts servants to make copies of the accounts report and pass them out to all attendees at the kingdom hall so they can follow along as he reads the report?

  that way all the dubs could more fully share in the joy that comes out of giving from the heart?.

  at the church i attend we have a quarterly business meeting where every one receives a complete financial statement that has been audited by several committees in order to insure that every penny is accounted for.

  here is an interesting challenge for the folks.

  this thread revolves around one subject, and that is thomas paine's brilliant critique of the bible written in about 1795. he did most of this from memory, while in prison in france.. http://www.infidels.org/library/historical/thomas_paine/age_of_reason/.

  the challenge is this: critique his essays.

  My first post here...

  My sister was a baptised member and got me studying. I remember the first time i went to the kingdom hall, everyone trying to be nice to me and i told them all to leave me alone (i was quite mean really) because i do not trust people, im very worldly!

  After a few years i still wasnt baptised because i wasnt comfortable with a lot of things. I never stayed for the watchtower because it is always trying to take psychological control and i wont let it happen.

  My sister had an affair with a married elder......that was a shock! I was told not to speak to her. I said no, she is my sister and within 3 days i heard loads of rumors about my family. Some of these were true, a lot were not. I stopped associating with the JWs a long time ago, though i do still have some dealings with them because i have an elder who owes me money for work i done but he is denying all knowledge of it.

  My sister has been reinstated but she now faces a dilema because i have just emailed her a copy of the things sent to me regarding disfellowshipped and disassociated people. I am not sure how she will take it or if she will talk to me again. I would be really sad if she didnt.

  She is an intelligent woman so i am hoping she will start to see 'The Truth' for what it is.
