  1961 1962 higher authorities

  by Marcial in

  are there among you, dear friends, a specialist in american associations from around the 1950s -1970s and a little more?

  to find out from what years in the usa the first subsidies were granted to religious congregations and other non-profit or charitable associations?

  why this question is that i just thought that there is perhaps a link between doctrinal clarifications over the years and government innovations to support or subsidize these supposedly charitable religious organizations or certain qualified ngos?

  Sagely advice of a CO

  “a circuit overseer started out by saying that on this last round of the circuit, the one thing he noticed the most...is that everyone is physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually drained...and that cuts across all barriers and demographics within the truth.

  he then said that the one common thread that ran among nearly everyone was this: we feel guilty for feeling bad.

  he said because we are told to endure with joy, our minds can cause us to feel enormous guilt over feeling this way...and then, my dear brothers and sisters...he proceeded to blow our collective minds.. he asked us to turn to daniel 8:27….

  I never even knew about any ""Ray Franz" up until a few years ago.

  I just remember Fred Franz years ago as very bombastic,,outspoken and making his rounds slamming apostates.

  With the advent of the internet,,,this site,,I heard about Ray Franz and his books,,,others like Penton & the rest is history.

  i'm up against surgery for family again.

  the nicest elder presently says he will (must) come to support the blood issue.

  the decision was already discussed with the doctor by the family member.

  If nobody knows about it,,,who cares.

  If they ''snoop" or ""prod"" you about it,,deny.

  Theocratic warfare.

  Holy $hit.

  I had no idea such "letters" existed. Now,,,this is really upsetting,,disturbing.

  Elders,,by knowing about this proves how culpable they are.

  They know about this "dark secret"". Every elder,,,no matter how ""Dr Jeckel"" and kind he may seem has this "dark secret".

  Shame on all of them.
