New congregation accounting system
by thedog1 in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i'm sure i read a thread here about the new congregation accounting procedures.

i ask because i handle the accounts in our cong and in our part of the world the new accounting system has just arrived whereby local congs do not have their own account any longer, but all funds outside of basic monthly costs is forwarded to an account controlled by the org.

this is causing huge confusion in our cong as we have to work out how much we need to keep back for monthly costs and the new idea is that you send all your extra cash to the org and if you need it back you can ask for it but we don't know how easy or hard it would be to do that.

On Wikipedia it states there were 5 original crime families in New york

Seems as if they forgot one, and it ain't the Sopranos

" Am I defending the WT as some of you put it ? No but if I'm to believe and pick someone's theory I would have to pick thiers "__BillyTheKid46

.

.

Now that's what I call a " Feeble mind " or better yet, still a damn fool

This is a religion that claim they are the one true religion because

" Jehovahs' Witnesses base all of thier beliefs on the Bible "

.

.

Not so. Compared to other religions much older than the WTS

The only thing Jehovah's Witnesses can bragg about is

the number of adjustments to their " TRUTH " in such a short time

.

.

That alone should send up red flags

Doesn't the ARMAGEDDON teaching foster a MORBID view of the future?
by Black Man in
1. jw
2. friends
even when i was dyed-in-the-wool j-dub, i felt the armageddon teaching was one of the most morbid concepts to be hammered into the psyches of jws.

think about it, only jws would survive this catastrophe, which translates to roughly .001 percent of the population would survive while everyone else would die a horrible death.

that includes people who do good things and are good people, but are just not jws.

Odd detachment of Witness Mothers _____JGNAT

Exactly JNAT

I was told point blank that I had chose my daughter over Jehovah

when I allowed her to miss a meetin' for an extracurricular activity

.

I guess I was supposed to put off her happiness until

the new system kicked in

Most places have an ordinance for loud noise

In some city limits , your not supposed

to used anything that make a loud noise before 8:00 AM-8:00PM

Like lawn mowers or chain saws

.

.

That man shoulda called the cops

he had every right to call them if they were breakin' a city ordinance

He went to far , as in most cases

.

MissMy Harley, You sound like a juvenile

who couldn't wait for an excuse to use an ol' sayin'

It's clear you have both an opinion and an Asshole

but you seem to lack any sense

i went to the meeting today.

i go probably once a month for various reasons i have alluded to here.. .

i don't know what the title of the talk was, since i pulled my usual come in 5 minutes late, muster a fake "i'm mildly embarrassed" look on my face and slip in the back row move, but the crux of it was to not go 'beyond the things written'.. .

Jesus : " It does not belong to you to get knowledge of the times or seasons which the Father has placed in his own jurisdiction "__ACTS 1:7

.

Jehovah's Witness : What the heck you talkin' bout Jesus !!! We Counted " 2,520 years from early October of 607 B.C.E brings us to early October of 1914 C.E."

____Reasoning book page 96

.

Jesus : " WHen the Holy spirit arrives upon you, you will be Witnesses of me "__ACTS 1:8

.

.

Jehovah's Witness : Don't pay Jesus no mind. He's one of those mentally diseased who partook of to much wine

" But here is something that may be a new thought to you...Of whom was Jesus " The faithful Witness " ? "___Reasoning Book page 208

Who do Jesus think he is......

" Lying, includes the intention to decieve some "_____*** w/07 2/1 p. 6 " Why be truthful ? ***

.

.

That's exactly what the WTS has done through the years

when they predicted the times 1914, 1925, 1975 and the season the fall/ October

.

.

Somthin' Jesus said they would not know in ACTS 1:8

.

.

And they teach in the theocratic ministry school book

on page 194 chapter #32 to " Express With Conviction " and

Show that you are fully convinced that it's the truth
