The thread, 'You know you were a JW teenager would be a good one to read to him... :)
He'll get over it, and you both will one day come on here because you want to, not because you will to anymore... :)

How do other churches and religions finance themselves compared to JW's?
by ThomasCovenant inthe jw's, including myself when in, seemed proud to make the point that collection plates are not passed around at the hall.. instead there are boxes at the back of the kingdom hall and in various locations at assembly halls for contributions.. plus the service meeting items detailing how else to contribute.. as far as i'm aware the catholic church passes a plate along the aisles.
but do other churches?.
are the witnesses correct to use this as a unique selling point?.

The mormons do something similar to the tithe...
It's not compulsary, but if you dont give 10% of your wages to the temple you will be frowned upon...
It's just the same as feild service, it's not a fixed number of hours, though if you dont do more than 4 or so it's seen as bad!!!

Yup, he touched his own man boobs... I couldn't keep eye contact, I had to turn away...
The floor became very interesting after that... I also used to study with that brother too...

Got to Mess with some Witlesses on my Vacation
by Cthulhu inso this last week i went to visit a very dear friend of mine about 21 hours away.
she is one of the two people i have had a major hand in helping to see the bullshit of the watchtower religion.
in any case, as we were driving through a neighborhood, guess what we saw.

No, it sound good... Think of it... They mess with you and you repay the favour... :)
@sweet... Did not the good LORD say himself 'do not throw your pearls befor swine'... ??? On a scriptural basis you should and DO consider anyone on this site as a swine... Anyone doing that therefor is guilty automatically of judging... Also as soon as you can realise that the better, because a- anyone therefor judging is also putting himself/herslf higher than others, 'lofty eyes' come to mind... b- you yourself are now a swine... Please do not be a swine and do not judge... Do not have lofty eyes which LORD hates... Yes 6, no wait, 7 things HE hates...
Good luck with the Bible... Some may read the bible, but I can pretty much tell you that we all LIVED it... Through and through... Yet, we are no longer chained to the pages and the word...

In 'pre-history' (if there is such a thing) there where many very large floods, that covoured the known world... It usually was the nile, it had to on a yearly basis to take the soot and nurishing nutriants to the plants and earth/sand above and around the bank of the river... Probably happened to the euphrates and other close rivers too...
It's not hard then to imagine where this idea came from about a complete global flood...

What year Did you Stop Attending Meetings - How Long were you a JW ?
by flipper ini'm trying to compare some statistics and figures on this to share later in the thread to see if more long-time witnesses are exiting- or are newer witnesses exiting after a shorter period of time.
and - are more people exiting in the last 10 to 15 years than before.
so your answers would be helpful in looking into this .
