  last night, besides announcing someone was disf.

  and attacks on the catholic church's doctrines, they gave the april report of finances..... their expenses $900 and some... the collections were $500 and some, and they sent $300 and some to wt... they have a $300 some deficit.

  they have to pay $12 at the bank; i was wondering if they have bounced a check :-) so.... they have in their pocket $500 and some... they asked to be generous on last night's donations.. there were only few people, half of when i last went three years ago.. circumstances brought me there to be with my daughter last night.. after the meeting, one of the speakers approached me to ask my opinion about a video they were all commenting.... i told him, "why do you want the opinion of a 'worldly person'?

  bluesapphire,
  Yours is an unusual Catholic Church. I wasn't treated the same way as you are being treated. But, I also wasn't someone returning from the JWs. Usually the Catholic Church charges for all the things I stated and My family has been charged for these things.

  When My grandparents didn't have the money to bury their 4 yr. old son that died from the German Measles. Their Catholic Church wouldn't help them. Then the Priest told my Grandfather his son died because of his sins. That's the Church I know. Right now you are their returning glory. You are being treated differently. Just as the JWs treat new converts with extra care.

  And if you realize that things cost money why are you picking on the measly $300.00 of this one congregation? The WT isn't doing anything including shunning and manipulation that the Catholic Church hasn't done since their beginning. They only wish they still had the same power over their people that they once had.

  Hey, I'm a double apostate......

  Some of my DF'ing

  warning: this is graphic but a true account.

  i was df'd for committing fornication.

  i had already started to figure out that the religion had some serious flaws but that didn't stop me from feeling like all my misfortune was brought on by my disobedience to god.

  Yes, the WT says it is a matter of conscience but what do individuals actually do when faced with this decision for their sons.

  I would be interested in hearing about the different cultural influences on this decision. Do you think that the religion of your families origin played a role in that decision? Such as: if your family was once Catholic, Lutheran or whatever do you think that was the influence?

  This came up in chat of course. So, the question is do JWs practice circumcision? Is this a cultural issues or scriptural?

  I would like to say that in my entire career as a JW, which spanned something like twenty-five years, I never once put any of my hard earned loot in that friggin' collection box. Not once. Not even a penny.

  
  In all fairness do you think you could get away without making a contribution in the Catholic church and use the facilities. You would not be able to do it with that church. You are charged for everything Baptism, Weddings, instruction for children, intruction for adults, counseling, absolutely everything .Then you are sent envelopes and sometimes told what to contribute.

  Also, many churches pass the collection baskets up to 4 times each service. So compared to other religions the JWs aren't seeking money as much. Then of course and every good catholic should come out and play bingo to add to the coffers.

  OK Waiting, *correction* where Julie and Tina choose not to post anymore. So, is Teejay missing the fighting...LOL That would be the point of my comment.

  Why *is* it that he pasted comments from another board here? Only to stir up a fight, after MC said he didn't want to discuss it on the board anymore.

  Teejay,

  Just admit it you miss the fighting...LOL That's why you brought those comments over here. Where Julie and Tina can't post.

  Why*is* that?

  Are you really concerned for Mindchild or do you want MC to have to continue to explain himself. When he already said he would prefer to continue this in email.

  Why are you stirring this up? Are you bored?

  Farkel,

  Get off the pity pot! You have made a remarkable contribution to this board. There I said it!

  No, I don't post on all your threads but I do read your writings and remarks. Mainly, because you almost always have a different slant on the discussion. In this place the deeper threads get lost to quickly. It is a shame. You are silently appreciated.

  seven006, where I come from men only hang out in pulic restrooms for one reason. And it's not to play with firecrackers...LOL
  

  In another month or so we can buy firecrackers and go hang out by some public restrooms and have some real fun.
