  Quick and vague Memorial invitations

  this morning my doorbell rang.

  i opened the door thinking it was a package delivery person or local politicians thanking my community for voting in yesterday's election.

  there was a middle aged man standing by himself.

  Will the Watchtower Company in the near future start asking for a tithe?

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it appears that the borg has some financial issues and i would think they are related to the hush money being paid out for the child molestation lawsuits to protect the guilty cult members and the fine untarnished reputation of the jdubs.. we have seen how much the borg refers to the hebrew scriptures for their guiding principles whenever it suits the borg's needs.

  tithing certainly is laced throughout the old testament.

  under the mosaic law, there were three tithes.

  Could the tithe be one of the things that the JDubs shouldn't question when it comes from Jehovah to the Gibbering Booty? They always seem to sidestep Jesus as the head of the congregation.

  Morpheus that is a good point. JDubs don't need to pass the plate they just pass another resolution.

  Under the Mosaic law, there were three tithes. The first was a regular tithe to support the priests and the temple costs. The second tithe was to celebrate the many feasts and the last was a charity tithe paid every third year.

  The WTBTS certainly could make a good case for every Jdub family forking over 10% to the Borg, this of course is above and beyond the contributions for the local Kingdom Haul. The 10% tithe would go to Jehovah and by being in lock step with Jehovah's new requirement that your survival through the ever so close Great Tribulation is guaranteed.

  The new requirement would push many fence sitters to speed up their fade or just quit cold turkey. The JDub hardliners would pay and the Borg would have more cash.

  What do you think?

  The increase in the Anointed Ones

  by Sour Grapes in

  2. beliefs

  to illustrate how the botchtower's groupies are losing brain cells...last year an elder told me some of the increase in the anointed is due to those who have been unfaithful and needed to be replaced.

  when i was in first grade i knew that if i had 10 marbles and i lost one and a friend gave me a marble to replace the one i lost that i once again had 10 not 11 marbles.. jdubs are very good at not thinking..

  Let's take the madness a step further. Only 144,000 get to go to heaven. At the end of the first century, there were over 1,000,000 Christain's who would have had the hope of going to heaven. At the end of the 1930's, there were about 90,000 Jdubs who would have had the heavenly hope. To be anointed at that time I would hope that they were at least 20 years old, so they are now dead. How many anointed were there between the first century up until the time that Jesus chose the Bible Students to be his true followers?

  I guess there were slim pickings for God not to pick 144,000 out of the million first century Christians and then have another 90,000 in the 1930's to pick from and now we still have 18,000 left of the earth.

  Only JDubs high on Watchtower crack would say no problem.

  In the 1970's the anointed were all old and then they started getting younger. Who said there are no modern-day miracles?

  In the 1970's and 1980's, all JDubs were excited to see the new yearbook for one reason...how low now is the number of the cracker nibblers and wine sippers? I remember when it was around 8,000 and going down quick which was just another sign how soon the end was.

  It also most seemed like the Borg said to themselves that we better reverse the numbers to slow things down and then we can throw in the overlapping generation as icing on the cake.

  The end has never been as close and at the same time so far away.

  How soon is soon?

  by Sour Grapes in

  2. beliefs

  i guess if the jdubs have no clue how long a generation is they also wouldn't know how long a time period the word "soon" refers too.. 60 years ago my mother would hammer into my brain how soon the great tribulation was.

  soon jehovah would destroy the wicked.

  then a few years later there was no need to go to college because the end was so soon.

  2. bible

  january 2018 issue "why give to the one who has everything?

  an unashamed contribution appeal... this one with the most manipulative language i can imagine... it may have been commented on before, but i am going to anyway.. p5 quote.

  "would you not agree that jehovah is worthy of all the glory and honor that we can give him by offering the best that we have?

  We need more for doing less. Send your money to Jehovah....he needs it bad. The costs of running the universe is going up every year.
