some internal sources in jw.org has brought me attention to the following data:.

- in which european country, not member of the eu, and well known for their banking industry, jw.org and some affiliated structures do maintain some business incorporated structures and companies?.

- which is the purpose of these business and company structures?.

Introduction - Any Believers?

by Believer in

i’ve been reading it for a few of years off and on, but have been a little too ... maybe ... timid to join.

i left the watchtower organization almost 20 years ago but never abandoned my faith and belief in god.

i knew the gb/organization didn’t represent god, so when i lost my faith in them, i managed to keep my faith in an all wise benevolent creator.

Furthermore, the high priest was holy to God--he couldn't marry non-Israelites or even widows or divorced women (Leviticus 21:10-15; Ezekiel 44:22). But all of a sudden God allows him to have 32 foreign sex slaves? Hmmm.

Considering god ORDERED Hosea to marry a hooker I find that eminently possible...

Jephthahs daughter was sacrificed to god...

Bible is a mass of contridictions

No! No! No! This can't be true? brexit? No!

by purrpurr in

it seems britain has voted to leave the eu in a move of total madness!

the markets are already in free fall and the moronic bigots who campaigned for this are celebrating the demise of our country .. i can't see how a 49-51% split can be democratic?

there is still the postal vote to come in, maybe there's hope in that?

KaikI doubt EU will allow free labor movement and settling of British in EU after Brexit.

Definitely....of course they won't. These brexit types are idiots.

Kaik Another issue I see will happen will be UK accreditation of education, licensing, and patents, because they will case to be in alignment with EU. And foreigner education without accreditation or mutual receptivity is pretty much worthless outside native countries.

is is a hugely Important issue....desperately worrying. Devastating for the youngsters.

Britain currently has complete sovereignty when it comes to her laws....the only exception to this are the laws governing trade, obviously it is necessary for Europe to be on the same page regarding this. The politicians have been blaming Europe for any and everything for years...focusing on idiotic issues like the " tampon tax" .

And so it begins...Britain youve been conned....tonight Daniel Hannan Tory mp and prominent leaver stated that Britain Will favour the Norway relationship post brexit, with....you guessed it...free movement of labour!

Not to mention the touted 350 million for the NHS touted pre referendum is shrinking by the minute...currently down to 100 million!

" Grandma, what have you done?" Indeed!!!!!!!!

Edited to add Racist grandma...what have you done?

Xelder....well said.

There is often a lot of one-up manship on exdub forums....a hangover, as you said, no doubt. Often to the detriment of the less educated, professionally experienced or confident amoung us.....a shame given our under- privileged background.

Cart "Witnessing"

by Funchback in

besides being a waste of time for those doing it, and being an easy way for the society to inflate its reports of time spent in the ministry, cart witnessing is also taking up space.

i live in a hot city in brazil.

today, the jws decided to set up their cart in the shady spot of the bus stop, where people going to work have to wait for the bus.. ugh!.

Diogenesister

Funchback ( JW Org quote)Seeing these masses of people and thinking about how Jehovah truly cares for each person has strengthened our resolve to continue putting the preaching work at the center of our lives. We imagine Jehovah scanning the hearts of all those who pass by the table, searching for those who are worthy.

.....And going to each one " Nah....another one to nuke at Armageddon"

So caring........

Sin Inherited Humankind

by looter in

so jws believe all humans have faults, problems, birth pangs, etc., because we all inherited sin from the original human being adam.

like i would like this to make since but why would jehovah do this to future humans who have done nothing wrong at all?

i think of it like if a parent has one child and that child really disobeyed her before then when the parent has a second child, she punishes that child because of what her first did.

Judaism finds the teaching that Adam's sin is inherited as impossible to reconcile with Ezekiel 18.20 which states that God does not count the sins of our ancestors or parents against us.

It always makes me laugh how they think they can tell the Jews how to interpret their OWN scriptures....and dubs in particular who base their whole theology on a prophecy that the Jews who wrote it don't even see as a prophet...Daniel - who is considered as " writings" ; essentially a story, and not a very accurate one at that!

Cofty Damn straight!!!...in law its called men's rea...the commission of a crime includes the act - Actus reus - AND the intention or knowledge of wrongdoing - men's rea - without which there IS no crime!

Another argument is a Adams lack of the knowledge of good and evil would put him in the category of a young child - Doli incapax - he could not know that what he did was wrong.

The" Grand Creator" has less" reasonableness" - another big concept in law - than we do??!!
