I dunno, EE....
We've watched JWs act in a manner totally contrary to their human, natural affections. I think that mind-control can be totally overwhelming, to the point that a person is trapped even while interacting with cult-free ["worldly"] individuals every day of their life.

"....I will take more notes tomorrow! Yay me!!!!! Oh!! One funny thing that happened! I asked my wife for money to put in the contribution box since Jehovah is broke. So she give me $30 ( I am assuming that is for both days ) I said I would be happy to take care of it. So I put it in my pocket. It will not be given to the Org!!! LOL !!! I am going to think of a non-suspicious way to always have the cash go to me as the head of the house before it goes in the box at the KH or wherever. I will just keep it like I did today! Someone else can pay for child abuse settlements and health insurance for Co's, and their cars! I will be keeping all my cash. If things get worse in the org, like a scandal that my wife recognizes, then I will officially tell her that none of my check goes to the Borg. If she wants to put her money in then I can't stop her, but my financial support is ceasing.
It felt really good pocketing that cash!! Good night!!!
Right on, DATA-DOG!!!
"So you lied to your wife. Wonderful :-( ..." a watcher
It's called "Theocratic Warfare", a watcher.
If the Watchtower Society can lie freely about so many things - their membership in the U.N.; their ownership of stock in weapons-production companies; then we certainly are free to use 'lies' to thwart their efforts to control our money, time and minds.

Looking After Widows and Orphans... and Spending One's "Riches"
by AGuest into the household of god, israel, and those who go with... may you all have peace!.
from time to time the issue of how to fulfill the "form of worship that is acceptable to god," mentioned by james in his letter, namely, looking after widows and orphans "in their tribulation"... comes up.
given the issue of tithing, the plethora of institutionalized charity choices, and the existence of ones in need, perhaps in our own households and families... but certainly in our towns, countries... and around the world... how does one fulfill this requirement?

Well, I have a house to clean and laundry to finish.
Which is FAR more significant to me than attempting to get information into extremely resistant minds...
Toodles!
And for those unfamiliar with the tenets of Christianity, this is NOT a "seraphim", by the way...

And to cleave a bit more closely to the alleged "topic"...
No where in your OP did you mention or present PRACTICAL means by which to offer REAL assistance to people in need. Your idea of "help" apparently consisted of offering YOUR OWN special little versions of "reality" as "riches"...
"... "Come! Take 'life's water'... which 'water' is holy spirit... is FREE!"
We who have received it already did so (received it) for free. Now, we must "spend" that "gold"... and give it to others, those who are wishing, thirsting, hungering... asking... free! ..." AGuest, OPNope, no constructive offers of MATERIAL assistance there - just YOUR special little version of "life's water"....
Now, THAT'S rich!!!

"...Think of it: you think me an imposter, yet you consider me more dangerous than, say, the WTBTS..." AGuest, page #6, post #10018
Wrong yet again.
You aren't significant enough to be "dangerous". You're simply bloated with your own self-importance, followed around by a group of people about as delusional as you.
But it is amusing to watch you dream up your own interpretation of my "thoughts" - or your special version of "facts" - and then attempt to present your inaccurate ramblings as if they were "reality"...

As Band said...
All of the following sites give a totally different meaning to the term "seraphim" than that which AGuest has fancifully cobbled together from superficial reading of 'new-agey' unfounded pseudo-mysticisms...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_angelic_hierarchy
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/seraphic
ser·aph(s
rf)n.pl.ser·a·phim (-
-fm) or ser·aphs1. A celestial being having three pairs of wings.
2. seraphimChristianity The first of the nine orders of angels in medieval angelology.
[Back-formation from pl. seraphim , from Middle English seraphin , from Old English, from Late Latin seraph
n, seraphm , from Greek serapheim , from Hebrew rpîm , pl. of rp , fiery serpent, seraph, from rap , to burn; see rp 1 in Semitic roots.]You'll notice that they reference the characteristic of snake venom to BURN, in that quote... Hence the "fiery" aspect. http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/seraphim.aspx
seraphim
seraphim the living creatures with six wings of Isaiah 6, in early Christian interpretation taken to be a class of angels. OE., ME. seraphin, later seraphim (XVI) — biblical L. seraphim, -in ( = Gr. seraphím, -pheím) — Heb. s e raphim, pl. of saraph.
And again from Wikipedia... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seraph The word seraphim, literally "burning ones", transliterates a Hebrew plural noun; translation yields seraphs. The singular, "seraph", is more properly rendered sarap. The word sarap/seraphim appears three times in the Torah (Numbers 21:6-8, Deuteronomy 8:15) and four times in the Book of Isaiah (6:2-6, 14:29, 30:6). In Numbers and Deuteronomy the "seraphim" are serpents - the association of serpents as "burning ones" is possibly due to the burning sensation of the poison.[2] Isaiah also uses the word in close association with words to describe snakes (nahash, the generic word for snakes, in 14:29, and efeh, viper, in 30:6).
The Isaiah vision of seraphs in an idealised Jerusalem First Temple represents the sole instance in the Hebrew Bible of this word being used to describe celestial beings."... I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and His train filled the Hekhal (sanctuary). Above him stood the Seraphim; each had six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew." (Isaiah 6:1-3) The seraphim cry continually to each other, "Holy, holy, holy, is YHWH of hosts: the whole earth is full of His glory." (verses 2-3) One seraph then carries out an act of purification for the prophet by touching his lips with a live coal from the altar (verses 6-7). The text uses the word "seraphim" but adds no adjectives or modifiers emphasising snakes ("nahash," etc.). At the same time the description gives the creatures both human and avian attributes. A strong association with fire, though, is maintained. So again, what part of: "The word seraphim, literally "burning ones", and "The text uses the word "seraphim" but adds no adjectives or modifiers emphasising snakes ("nahash," etc.). At the same time the description gives the creatures both human and avian attributes. A strong association with fire, though, is maintained." Do you NOT get??? Considering that serpents and 'dragon' iconography are nearly ALWAYS considered EVIL in the bible, your bizarre assertions that somehow 'snakes/draco' have suddenly become THE SAME THING AS ANGELS, is wildly out of touch with what the bible really teaches, to say the very least.
