  just saw this on the ex-jw subreddit.

  on opencharity.ca, you can view wtbs canada's financial info and in 2013 they received almost $9 million in donations.

  you can even see how much some congregations gave.

  $90 per publisher in canada. It really isn't that much when you think about it.

  I agree it just wanders on to nowhere.

  It sounds like a memo written from the desk of a gb helper put to some pathetic music.
  Of course all the Jws will say about what a great song it is

  Rethinking "this world", "the world", and "worldly"

  by Fernando in

  if all religion is a snare and a racket as per judge rutherford, then has religion maybe lied to us on this score too?.

  could jesus have meant: "if you belonged to the (religious) world, it would love you as its own.

  as it is, you do not belong to the (religious) world, but i have chosen you out of the (religious) world.

  My thoughts.

  Most people have to work for a living. Unless a person is born into a privileged family or wins the lottery this is a fact of life.

  Con artists and thieves have figured out a way to skirt the system and get a free ride. Religious leaders have pretty much figured the game out so they never have to work another day in their life.

  Has religion lied to us? Is the sky blue?

  It is not a well written song. It is lacking a hook

  Such a helpful book, "The subtle power of spiritual Abuse"

  by Jay Elle in

  this book was suggested to me.

  i couldn't put it down.

  it isn't aimed at any religion but it does peg the abuse factor within them all.

  is there a child custody packet that the Jws use to lie in court? If there is where can I get a copy. Or any other advice I can pass on

  this is in canada btw.

  Celine Dion having been publicly reproved when she's actually still a Regular Pioneer in good standing and wrote the lyrics to song number 60 in the new song book.

  
  

  Now I know why the new songs suck!

  Food at the proper time. I got my answer from the latest Awake magazine. The May 2015 Awake has all the solutions for helping the homeless and poor. There is no need for me to give my money and time to build a house for them. All they need to do is read from the Awake magazine and study with Jehovahs Witnesses and their housing issues will be solved.

  so far i've managed to keep service time to a minimum and i don't put my hand up to comment at the meetings and already certain ones are distancing themselves or not talking to me at all, i have to laugh!.

  i wonder if they think i've commited a serious sin well sorry to burst their bubble i haven't, well not yet anyway lol.. i find it funny everything is measured on what they see, but yet i have too but my faith in 8 guys who i don't know or have never met, too stand a chance of everlasting life.. there was a part in the watchtower this afternoon saying we should be thankful we are 1 in 1000 of people in the world who have accurate knowledge, give me a break..

  It's all a social group. Those who have money are excused for not getting enough time in.

  in one congregation there a 2 elders who are filthy rich. Both pioneers but they always seem to be gone on vacation
