  How do you feel about paying TAX?

  by sleepy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just had a shock today when i realised that i had just paid too much tax for last year.

  i had forgotten to add almost 1000 pounds expenses to my tax return.. oh yes i'm going to get some money back.but should i be so hasty, this money will go toward policing , education and many other important needs of society.. maybe it would just go to some corrupt official or politician who will spend it on a slap up meal.. so how do you feel about paying your taxes.

  are they too high or not high enought.. are there any better ways for keeping countries running smoothly.. also what taxes do you pay in other countries?.

  here i think most cheat on their taxes coz there's no point in paying it just goes down right into the pockets of government officials...no benefits whatsoever, the quality of public education is close to useless and i dunno..at least u guys over the us/uk/aus get some of it back in some way...
  im from the philippines btw..a lousy country but still love it..hehe

  does anyone here take the creation story literally?

  if yes, did u do ample research and think carefully but still believe in it?

  if u don't think that the story should be taken as literal, what is your reading of it and do u still believe in the bible as the inspired word of god?...thanks in advance..

  What is your ex-JW retirement plan?

  by Mindchild in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been talking to a few people in chat recently about retirement strategies for ex-dubs.

  it doesnt take a rocket scientist to realize that many people who exit the borg are really in a very poor situation in terms of their retirement prospects.

  if it wasnt bad enough that there was always the pressure to avoid higher education and the corresponding quality jobs afforded by such, many dubs were just plain conned out of their resources by the borg in thinking that the end was just around the corner and you should pioneer, even if it meant selling your assets, going into debt, or turning down good job opportunities.

  2. friends

  you could be earning money from your hobby, from the very thing that you enjoy as a past time in life.

  you may not be aware how to do so, but others here can assist you in showing ways forwards.

  what have you got to lose by stating your hobby / interest here?.

  mom was used to be a catholic (blind believer) always had nightmares and stuff...she felt like being bothered by evil spirits/demons...someone offered bs (bib study) she got into it, after than whenever she had nightmares just called on the name jehovah and everything went fine..
  so obviously she got us into it, claims that jws are right coz she had been to other churches and evil spirits/demons do not stop bothering here until now...and of course everlasting life in paradise on earth did it..
  i once believed that everything they said made sense..i still think that other teachings do make sense but hate how the system works..unfortunately i am still in..with no hopes of getting out...

  Would you employ a witness?

  by sleepy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  lets get all hypothetical.

  lets imagine you are starting or have a business and you need an accountant.. one of your main concerns is their honesty.. you interview some potential employees.. they have very similar qualifications and experience.. the only difference is their religious beliefs.. person 1 is a catholic.. person 2 a moslem.. person 3 an atheist.. person 4 jehovah's witness.

  (imagine you are not disfellowshiped so they wont shun you).

  Are Jehovah's Witnesses evil?

  by SexyTeen in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am shocked at the many accusations against jehovah's witnesses in this forum.. i know that i am young, but most of my family are jws and they are good people and i love them.

  even my worldly family is very nice and i do not shun them.

  the friends in the hall are very nice also.
