19Urgent: Pope Benedictus resigns: a good example for GB
by Gorbatchov injust in the news: pope benedictus is resigning.
this should be a good example for the gb of our church organization.
there are reasons enough: child abuse (conti case etc), failed prophecies (slave classe, un/osce), killing doctrines (blood doctrine etc, shunning / suicide) and fraude (investment corporation instead of church).. so it would be nice to read on bbc news: governing body of jehovah's witnesses resigns and make way for a new generation that embraces christian freedom.. gorby.

Making the congregations pay for invitation printing
by Rattigan350 inthe memorial and district convention invitations have a space for each congregtion to put their local information on them.. the congregations then have to foot the bill, many times it is the service overseer personally, for the printing on them.. some print labels and the congregation puts them on, others print with their laser printer and wear them out.. at first the paper was so poor that the particles would destroy laster printers and make a dust storm.
commercial printers hated that paper.. the society should have a variable data printing system since they know the times of the memorial and convention for each congregation and they should print that while they print the initial invitation.. think if it, 12,000 congregations in the usa multipled by $50 on average cost to print or label each congregation's amounts to $600,000.
do that twice a year for 7 years and that is $8.4 million dollars.

So Your Husband Is Thinking of Becoming A Jehovah's Witness
by LoisLane looking for Superman ini want to share with you, things your husband can demand from you, because, well he is the man and you are not.
i don't know if you have read about jw's sex lives and what is allowed and isn't.. no oral for anybody.
no masturbation for anybody.

lois - i beg to differ - jw's that i have known are notorious tax evaders, non-filers, bad business types - because they all got this thing about being "self-employed" so as to free their time for "more important things" so they start cleaning operations, window-washing, etc.....but have absolutely no knowledge of how to even balance a simple family checkbook, much less run a business.....and then someone somewhere along the line doesn't pay in cash under the table and the irs gets wind of it in their own inimitable fashion, and there is an audit. ignorance is bliss apparently....
but your other observations are spot-on.

Well, at least I think it is funny!
by Terry inthe first "end of the world" scare.
let's give credit where credit is due.
maybe we spent the turn of the millennium freaking out over our computers and hoarding bottled water and canned goods and mechanical can openers, but at least we didn't go nuts like some people.

Does the WTBS emphasize these two verses for control?
by cog_survivor insomething i came to understand that the worldwide church of god did effectively was to cut people off from from their feelings and intellect in favor of the "appropriate" thoughts and feelings.. how they did this was by frequently emphasizing these two verses:.
proverbs 3:5 - trust in the lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.. jeremiah 17:9 - the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?.
by means of these two verses i was taught not to trust myself with regards to either my ability to reason or if my gut was telling me something was wrong.. i was wondering if these two verses were emphasized for jws as well..

my husband is into Armstrong and the Philadelphia Church. I find it a bit much - but some things make a lot more sense than JW teachings....
