  Does Someone Have to be Religious to Be a Good Person?

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is something my wife and i were discussing the other day .

  in a general view of religious people - most religious people feel it makes them holier, better, or on a higher moral plane claiming to worship god in an organized religion.

  in the jehovah's witnesses view - the outside world is evil, and they claim that if you get away from their religion , and " fall away" a person is doomed to go astray, doing various sundry things like murder, adultery, stealing, orgies, because " they claim " that they have fallen " out of " god's favor.

  The real question is can someone who is religious be a good person? I don't know any religious people who don't do more harm than good. Bring_the_Light

  WTS Will Stop Charging Interest on Loans

  by doinmypart in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the org will stop charging interest on kh building fund loans effective sep 1, 2008. current loan payment amounts will remain the same so the loans can be paid off sooner.. congregations should continue to donate to the kh building fund, and publishers can donate directly to the fund by sending donations directly to the branch.

  congregations are encouraged to forward surplus congregation and operating funds to the branch until the time those funds are needed by the congregation (this was actually read to the congregation...talk about full disclosure).. this is for all branches and congregations, not just the u.s..

  I always thought it was weird to charge soldiers payroll taxes. :oP Although it is fitting to screw soldiers at every opportunity, it just seems like unnecessary paperwork. It was also depressing, because at the end of the year, my ARNG income was just about right to pay my civilian tax bill for the year.... Serve country, country charges you money makes sense, but it "being a wash" as opposed to either more or less made it feel unfair somehow.

  Wash your mouth out with soap

  did anyone ever have this done to them, literally?

  i thought it was only a figure of speech, until my mother did it to me for real.

  i think i was about 10 at the most, and i said the word "piss", which to my mother was the equvalent of the f-word.

  That's Fxxxn' crazy. With my kids, I'll take the same approach as my fundamental theorem of child rearing. I'll tell them the truth. Whoa crazy dad, telling truth. Hello, welcome to the world, we don't have the slightest idea what's going on here, but here's what you need to understand.... Chapter 4 Social Taboos- Their Role in Society yada yada ... Pretty f'd up huh? son, yep thats the way it's worked for all of human history. Some people "believe" crossing social taboos isn't just disorderly "its wrong", like ya know "God" like we discussed in Chapter one "says so". Bring_the_Light

  Let me get this straight. The "Paul" is the real Apostle Paul. If Scolios doesn't buy Paul's claim that he is a prophet, then Scolios is evil. Others not believing Scolios are good and the solution is condemnation, and shunning. Hell, the bible says Paul shunned anyone that disagreed with him of course I should too!!! Wee!!! The BIBLE says so!!! Woo. Did you guys see the lights flicker during the best parts of the Drama? Yep, light doesn't like shit like this. Bring_the_Light

  Worst Rules

  what are the worst rules you've ever heard being dispensed from the platform?

  "christians do not dance to ymca, as it promotes homosexuality.

  "hairstyles that defy gravity also defy joe hoobie.

  Sorry to interrupt with a theory. It quickly becomes clear that if they don't make up crazy rules, there isn't much to talk about. I mean seriously, "the truth'" isn't a complicated or long enough story to hear 5 times per week for 70 years. I was astonished that the public talk when I went back for the first time in 10 years was about how "Christians" shouldn't use ouija boards etc. I was actually kinda in the mindset to "hear" the actual supposed message from god to re-evaluate whether there was ANY role for religion in my life. Instead I heard how conjuring spirits is considered spiritism.... 30 mins later I wasn't so much glowing in the light of God, just the glow of my growing rage at how much of my life this BS stole from me..

  I hope their married, because if they have the same last name "Mouse" and are just dating, one broken condom could mean a whole litter of deformed little mices. That wouldn't help the image of the happiest place on Earth. :)
