jesus had much to say about the kind of giving his followers should practice.
for example, the following:matt 6:3 '...but when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing...'.
matt 10:8 '... freely you have received; freely give...'.
Mathew 10.18 they will say they freely had a (cult) bible study so they freely give (cult) bible studies...other than that absolutely not, tight wads mostly
If you really want to help 21st century lepers' your bum homeless crack heads are the one's, self hating and hated, shunned and abused by family 9 times out of 10 or with underlying mental health problems...noone in the western world is so vulnerable to suicide & a miserable lonely death or violence

in the last 5/6 years, i've read many threads, some made me laugh , others sad such is life , but was a very pleasant experience.
so i though it was time to introduce myself a bit.. im portuguese although living in the u.k. atm.
im from a (now) jw family and i have 2 sisters.
Thank you for the share...very inspiring!
If only all kids were so smart and brave..and all parents so loving and non judgemental.
I know you will go far..& be there for your parents when they need you, which they will. I am glad that you could see the limited education of your parents was the contributing factor to their acceptance of the JW's, education, reason and knowledge is THE best defence against cult - ism.
with all the focus on the shooters and the rehashing the cowardly acts of those determined to spread violence and fear, i think its good to talk about those who are not cowards and its their names we should remember most to take the power away from the martyr cowards.

My only good memory of going to a circuit assembly at Clairton, PA high school is meeting my late wife. I was recently discharged from the Army in 1968 and at the urging of my mother who was a JW since 1961, went with her. I fell head over heels for this great young lady and we were married less than 8 months later. Needless to say, I went whole hog into the religion. Not sure now if it was her or did I really believe it.
HappyDadâ€Love the post!
Always said it's the one good that comes from being a JW - you can find yourself some darn fine life - totty!!

I think he's being ironic, guys.
The first person who overcame my paranoia and got me to vote was a mate and I voted for the "Brixton Rainbow Alliance" Yeah!
Sometimes humour works, plenty of people voted for Screaming Lord Sutch and his "Monster Raving Loony"Party.
However, I do appreciate that you American's take democracy seriously. Thats a little hard for us, given that we still have a ruddy monarchy kicking around..
the hague court has made this ruling ......... i searched, and no topic showed up, so hope this is not 'old news'.. if a cult loses its tax-free status, does anybody care?well, yeah!
*pumps fist in the air*.
it's about time.
Woohoo, just found this thread Talesin (whilst looking at some of your posts about your parents)I had no idea...
This is big news, they will appeal of course but hopefully if it sticks it will open the floodgates.
Really if the WT is so callous with their own elderly & sick, are they gonna care or do anything charitable for the community?Pushing your own agenda with mags does not count!
