Bookstudy's topic Blood- Personal conscience or the WT's Teachings?

by yknot in

so tonight we wrapped up chap.

7 of "keep in ted's laws"........blood (((gene smalley--favorite subject!))).

i did my best to drown out the whole subject as it is just too damn annoying!

That was something that really jumped out at me from the book when I received it at last year's convention, how the WTS are expecting the R&F to be able to explain to a doctor why they can accept blood fractions.

Watchtower Society greedily steals Witness Tsunami relief fund...Sick!

by Witness 007 in

just after the tsunami brothers donated millions in relief funds, marked "for the tsunami victims"....not realizing few brothers lived in these muslim areas.

problem is the society wanted this money for itself so..... kingdom ministry nov 2005 {11 months after tsunami} "last year brothers donated towards those effected by the tsunami disaster...however, when donations are earmarked for certain disasters it is...to use these funds only as specified by the donor {so what?

} and within a certain period of time, whether the needs of the brothers have been cared for locally or not.

I was accounts servant when the tsunami struck. Our secretary wanted to put aside of the contributions boxes for the R&F to donate money to the R&F in the affected area. This pulled in over £3000. We had a congregation of around 65.

I tried to point out to him and the PO that the Society do not like donations to be sent for specific "causes", but they instead have an account (including a Giro bank payment book here in the UK) for that very purpose. I pointed out that they like to decide where and how the money donated to this "relief fund" gets spent.

As the OP rightly points out, 11 months later this note comes from the Org saying, "please don't tell us how to use your money and please don't specify where you're money is for."

You have to wonder how much cash was sent in for the tsunami relief if our small congregation sent in over £3000. You also have to wonder, given the timeline involved, where the money actually ended up being spent. Lawsuits?

Global Currency, what is the JW stance on it?

by A-Team in

if this is actually made, then i guess it will raise some eyebrows.

yes, this is the coin that was shown off at the g8 summit..

We need to remember, pretty much anything of significance has already happened, according to the WTBTS. That's why they don't have anything to say about the New World Order (other than removing it from their song book), the one-world currency, 9/11's attacks of the Nation of Islam.

I learned about his ways, his likes and his dislikes, the degree of his power, and the depth of his wisdom.

So let me get this straight. She read the whole Bible. She learned about God's ways, likes, dislikes, power and wisdom. Did she miss John 3:16 and 1 John 4:8?
