  It seems to me that perhaps you are just one of those weakling type hubbies that allows the woman to make the important decisions and take over.

  Wow, how f*cking rude and sexist.

  http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/jehovah-s-witness-grandparents-ordered-to-keep-faith-to-themselves-1.3282193.

  a pair of devout jehovah's witnesses have been ordered by a b.c.

  provincial court judge not to talk about religion in front of their four-year-old granddaughter.. the couple lost their bid for unsupervised access to the girl because they insisted on taking her to worship at their faith's kingdom hall despite the repeated objections of the child's mother.. the girl is identified only as a.w.

  Money woes show it ain't the truth

  jehovahs people do not beg for money.

  [...] we have never considered it proper to solicit money for the lords cause, after the common custom .

  it is our judgment that money raised by the various begging devices in the name of our lord is offensive, unacceptable to him, and does not bring his blessing either upon the givers or the work accomplished.

  That's what I would of though. That means come 2017 they are going to have 375 mil freed up..

  I did hear that they were able to start utilizing 4 of the properties late 2013. Wouldn't that have freed up a good portion of it then?

  Sorry, not sure how this works.

  I have a question about some of the real estate being sold. In 2013, they made an agreement to sell the below properties:

  "The properties, familiar to Witnesses from Society publications, include the five factory buildings 117 Adams Street; 175 Pearl Street; 55 Prospect Street; 81 Prospect Street and 77 Sands Street. The tallest of the newly-sold buildings, 90 Sands Street, is a 30-story residential building completed in 1990 to house up to 1000 Bethel workers and visitors."

  
  

  However; completion of this sale isn't until 2017. So, have they already received the 375 mil or are they not getting that til 2017?

  years ago i remember there being a number of sites with pretty extensive archives of watchtower publications online.

  can anyone direct me to the best current site for this material?

  in particular i am looking for a booklet from 1898 called "the bible vs. the theory of evolution".

  i was just talking to my mom a few weeks ago.

  she said, out of all her kids, i was the only one she didn't have to worry about as far as spirituality.

  i always took a stand for jehovah.. she told when all of her kids were little, she gave us the option of not eating birthday cakes in school.

  Mommy - Trust me, it didn't come easy. There were a lot of battles fought... At one point, we weren't on speaking terms for months and I blocked her number.

  Uphill battle to say the least. I regret nothing.
