Disaster relief for Jehovah's Witnesses!? What a joke
That is not a joke, but a truthful commentary about what they are offering. They will assist only Jehovah's Witnesses (and perhaps some who are making progress down the recruitment pipeline.)
My ex-Elder-in-Law worked on a WTBTS relief crew after a major hurricane, and he was quite candid that they were there to help their own--not those most in need, regardless of creed.
during the last decade i've seen so many articles, and top speakers try to downplay that nfb policy.
now, this weeks wt study mentions a positive experience of someone applying having, "contact and applying nfb with a df relative".
Unconditionally loving your parents, spouse, and children is Necessary Family Business. Forgiving them "seventy times seven" times for whatever they might have done is Necessary Family Business. Neglecting them because they don't go to meetings and the Kingdom Hall and spend every weekend peddling WTBTS publications is NOT family business.

"i just don't see it," christie told cnn's jamie gangel in an interview tuesday, adding later, .
here's the key moment in trump’s speech:.
There is nothing really original or meaningful in either one. They are typical political speeches: a string of trite platitudes, phrases that only Scrooge would disagree with.
"Let's hear it for Motherhood! Apple Pie! Baseball!"
It shows how meaningless the party conventions have become: the outcomes are already known, so they look hard for something, anything, new to say about these quadrennial non-events.
a short time ago i sought information regarding a quotation in the watchtower of april 1, 2010, which did not identify the exact source of the quotation from professor oskar skarsaune.
my interest was heightened because words had been omitted from the source.. the wts provided a copy of the original 29-page article, which is in norwegian.. here is my very unofficial personal translation of the passage from professor skarsaune's article that the watchtower is quoting.
firstly i provide the text as it appears in the watchtower magazine, highlighting where the text has been omitted.
"Which writings were to be included in the New Testament, and which were not, was never passed by any church fashion or by any individual, but was the result of a process in which many churches in all parts of the church were involved..."
In other words, the New Testament canon is a doctrinal Tradition of the church. Since the WTBTS rejects Traditions as false teachings, do they reject the New Testament?
how is everybody doing?.
it's been 8 months since i've been here.. so many newbies!.
lol.. sylvia.
i guess we have to assume that jesus was circumcised on the 8th day but what about adam?
he was "perfect", so did he have the weenie cut or not?.
i would like to bring this question up at a "get-together".. rub a dub .
a jw made the claim "no christian [jw] has ever murdered anyone".. when i showed examples of such, the goalposts moved a bit with "was he a baptized, dedicated witness?".
can anyone provide examples of murders committed by "baptized, dedicated" jws?.
thanks.
It's a case of the "No True Scotsman" fallacy. If he puts sugar on his porridge, he is not A True Scotsman. If a JW murders, he was not A True Christian.
i have known all of them over the last 15 years, talked at length with them, and knew what their wishes were, the copyright holder and spouse spent even more time with them socially and helping them set up their arrangements for when ray and cynthia passed.
i don't believe that anyone else on this board or others was a confidant.
there is no need to prove it to anyone but the copyright office which is satisfied with this.
It's very disappointing that this book is still not readily available by legal means.
It's legally available through Amazon, though somewhat pricey.

Tom Cabeen is an articulate former Witness who is now Catholic [interview on Youtube, discussed in this JWN thread]. There also is a JWN thread linking to an audio interview with Randall Watters. You can read several of Tom's articles at the catholicxjw.com.
