  quotethe word christ signifies anointed.

  anointing means designation to official position in god’s arrangement.

  the christ is the instrument or channel for the blessing of mankind.

  I sat through the meeting today.

  I agree that giving is good. Just not to people who don’t appreciate it or will take advantage of my good nature.

  Therefore I don’t give to the watchtower organization anymore.

  My recent giving:

  The lady in front of me was short of money for her lunch because she forgot she wrote a check for her kids school supplies. I bought her lunch

  My employees went above and beyond these last few months as we are doing a major expansion. I’m planning on giving them a Christmas bonus

  If the thankless watchtower organization wants any more of my money they’ll have to pry it out of my cold dead hands.

  My Dad's Funeral

  i had not seen my dad for 15 years because i had left the borg.

  (i had been out 26 years but there was a few years when the jws permitted contact with outsiders and then changed their minds again).

  they made contact with me again just before he was diagnosed with cancer.

  I was at one funeral where the elder giving the talk tried to guilt inactive family members into coming back. That’s pretty lame.

  Sorry you had to deal with that. Cults kinda suck and most of us didn’t choose to be part of it.

  Higher stock indexes are ultimately a reflection of where inflation is heading as well as total debt of a nation.

  The big players have the game rigged. The average joe investor doesn’t have the inside knowledge that they have.

  Court documents reveal Watchtower's tactics in Montana child abuse case

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  there were numerous objections and claims that watchtower lawyers made to try and get out of being held responsible for their negligence and malice.

  here’s the juicy ones:.

  montana is a mandatory reporting state, but watchtower lawyers claimed that the law for reporting abuse only applies to “individuals” and they are “corporations”.

  In the rural areas of Canada everyone has a gun. I own a gun. Never been registered and probably never will be. We are just careful who we talk to about it.

  This thread has encouraged me to start posting about some of my more controversial views. Global warming myths, the organic food scam, population control and why we need big oil to get bigger.

  The best day in my life was the day that I realized that someone else’s view or belief might be correct and my beliefs might just be wrong.

  That is why I come to this site
