WTS position on DF'ed family members
by harleybear inwhat is the wts going to do if a non df'ed individual is the primary care provided for say an elderly family member or a handicapped child or parent?
many of us are in the position that without our assisting these folks they would have no where to turn.
does not the bible admonish a responsiblity to these loved ones??

Display Christian Loyalty
a Scriptural and moral obligation to assist.
The choice of words speaks volumes. They ask for "Loyalty" (to the Watchtower). They say to meet your "Obligation" (the minimum requirement).
"Charity" (doing all you can for those in need) is conspicuously absent.

Planet earth will need a plague like the Black Plague if earth is to survive. That's just a fact.
The Earth itself should do just fine for a long time to come. The question is life on this planet, human life in particular.
Plague and natural catastrophes (super-volcanoes, asteroid impacts, etc.) are natural events that could permanently zero out human population growth. Large-scale warfare, genocide, and resource depletion are human-caused ones. Widespread famine has both natural and human causes. Plagues have both sources too: natural evolution of new pathogens and pests; human hygiene practices and over-use of antibiotics, pesticides etc. (i.e., selective breeding of more virulent pathogens and pests).
We need to pay more attention to what we humans can control; less to those things we cannot stop.

Is it possible to be friends with a devout Jehovah's Witness?
by losthobbit injust wondering if it's possible for a non-religious person like me to be friends with a devout jehovah's witness.

The friendship tends to be one-sided. You see them as a friend, a person whose good qualities you appreciate, one whom you enjoy associating with. They see you as a person with potential--if only you'd go to their meetings and KNOW THE "TRUTH". Until you do, they're advised to not get too attached, because Armageddon is coming Really Soon Now, and unless you're IN THE ARK when that happens, you're going to be BIRD FOOD.
A romantic friendship is probably trouble as in TROUBLE.
Yes, sometimes very expensive trouble (as in divorce lawyers, alimony, etc.).

Wondered how I would handle the JW's at my door
by troubled mind inwish i had been more prepared to say something intelligent like others i have read about on here .
usually the witness by-pass our house ,so i was not even thinking it might be them when someone knocked an hour ago .
it was a young man ,maybe 17 , and a subsitute co i remember from yrs ago .. the young man started talking right away about reading me a scripture ,he already had it open in his paperback bible (tacky looking if you ask me ).

Nice job--that was a polite but clear "No thank you". What a good witness it was for that young man, to see the CO not recognizing "lost sheep" from his own "flock"!

JW Child Abuser Must Warn Parents of His Conviction
by jamiebowers inhttp://www.burtonmail.co.uk/news/child-abuser-is-locked-up-26012012.htm.
paul wood, 40, assaulted the girls, aged between 10 and 15, at his home, in a car and at a disused airfield.. wood, of station road, woodville, was found guilty of nine indecent assaults but cleared of a rape allegation made by one of the girls.. the sex offender, who committed his crimes while living in suffolk in the 1990s, claimed his two victims had made up' their evidence.. judge david goodin, sentencing at ipswich crown court, said: "you were a young man but they are most serious offences.".
prosecutors claimed during wood's trial last year he had forced himself on the underage girls in sudbury, suffolk, between 1993 and 1998.. steven dyble, defending, told the court wood was a man of previous good character who had done his best to live an industrious life'.. wood's last offence was committed in 1998. mr dyble said: "during the last 14 years, there has been no suggestion of any inappropriate behaviour.".

He is also banned ... from carrying out work at any school or voluntary organisation.
Hmm, would that include "service"?
