  Want to make Money $ with a Web Site?

  by sarahsmile in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  has anyone had success with a high traffic website or blog ?.

  it might take a team of people to accomplish.. ads pay and people count, lots and lots of people.

  does jehovahs-witness.net make money every time someone looks at the web site?

  I would hazard a guess that Simon earns at most 1% of what he otherwise could when he donates many hours of his precious time to the labour of love that is JWN which generously and voluntarily serves atheists and believers alike.

  How many hours would you and I be willing to work for one hundredth of our hourly rate?

  If it is such a headache-free money-spinner, why did Simon once consider closing up shop?

  Of course, I too would appreciate more civil behaviour from those JWNers that pray for my conversion to atheism.

  And seriously, there have to be better ways to make money than elusive (and illusive) traffic from thousands hundreds of visitors busily ignoring adverts.

  If God exists, and I believe he does, then the existence of atheists would seem to prove free will, to my mind at least.

  when i first learned about the bull $#@!

  about the cult that i am in, i reached out to my good friend who brought me into this organization through a study.

  this man is wonderful human being & i thought would be understanding to my struggles.

  Once we have invested too much in a scam we strangely develop a vested interest in supporting it at all costs to save face.

  If Jehovah God Really Loved Humans & This Earth How Might He Show It?

  supposing that you might say that you believe in god, how might a god of love, show that he really cares about us all?.

  Provide a sociological map, which if followed, would begin to elevate the human race from a primitive Type-0 civilisation.

  Grant us free will and autonomy, allowing us to choose to heed or ignore the map, as we observe and contemplate the consequences, of each option.

  Poster with basic math on shunning - for JW parents

  by Fernando in

  your thoughts on such a poster?.

  (http://religions.pewforum.org/reports says: "jehovah's witnesses have the lowest retention rate of any religious tradition.

  only 37% of all those who say they were raised as jehovah's witnesses still identify themselves as jehovah's witnesses.").

  Thank you all for the suggestions, improvements and valid observations.

  Paul (JWFacts), I wonder how it might be possible to get the facts right as you have, and still be brief enough for a poster...

  Hey venting!

  Just in case this is a serious OP...

  Borg, I believe is a reference to the mindlessness and high control nature of the Watchtower ORGanisation, and a possible reference to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borg_%28Star_Trek%29 .

  Dub I believe is short for "Jay Double You" or JW. Again a bit of a reference to the mindlessness imposed on the worshippers of the golden calf (the Watchtower bORGanisation and its website JW.org)

  Have you had a crisis of concience?

  my little boy has decided he wants to be a vegetarian and has been for over a year now.

  i fully accepted and supported this.. my view however is no matter what you eat or how you eat it ....beings will die for you to eat.. i have noticed where we live we have the terms " free range" and " ecological".

  if affordable i am sure most peoples preferrd option for their own health and the conditions of the animals.. i would say everyone has the right to eat what they want within reason.

  I'm becoming more conscious of healthy eating habits, if that counts.
