Mind you now. these are the same Bozo's that said in the March 2008 Kingdumb Ministry page one that you should
" Avoid recreation and employment that would leave us so tired that we cannot give Jehovah our best "

Seems to me, If Jehovah don't return the favor
You better get a Job

If he don't pay. You have to

# 3 There is no provision for special needs room request

And why not !?
The kingdom Halls are full of special needs people,
Deaf, blind, depressed, cripple and crazy , who provide thier time and expenses
to the Watchtower Society !!!!
.

Ain't these the same people who are told to put thier
anxieties aside to do more !!!!!

OUR KINGDOM MINISTRY
March 2008
We Can Give Jehovah
Time : " Perhaps we could adjust our schedual in order to auxillary pioneer one or more months a year. Maybe we could lengthen the time we usually spend in the ministry. Staying out an extra30 minutes each week would increase our ministry by at least two hours a mounth ! "
.
Energy : " Even if we have a legitimate concern, how much better it is to throw our burden upon Jehovah "
.
In other words. You better plan on askin' Jehovah for what you need cuz

Resources : " We can give of our material resources to support the preaching work "

But don't you dare expect much from the WTS

Hello Maat
In my opinion the WTS has indeed hurt on a grand scale
Many people died based on a belief that was changed later on
,
,
Many put off an education becuase they were told
the end was so close they would not graduate high school
some even sold thier homes because of the WTS lies
.
.
The good cause you speak of, is only to recruit free labor
for thier own gain
.
.
Many put off marriage and children
Based on what the WTS taught that didn't come to pass
.
.
I would say that is hurt on a grand scale
.
i was perusing the index of bible words in the back of the nnwt and found it interesting that the name jesus has only one scripture listed.
the title christ has five.
the name satan has twelve.
" If it were possible, They would kill him off again "____Syl
While they continue to reject the bread and the wine in his behalf
.
"some though say, 'but you need to be balanced.
you need to work, pay bills, provide for your family and so forth.
' but think about a bicycle.
What kinda bike does that brother ride ?
That can't slow down, won't turn and peddles hard wit no kick stand

The main reason the WTS don't elaborate as to why a person has been DF or DA
is not done outta " Love ", But to shed a bad light upon all who dare to leave
no matter what the circumstance

Jam , I know of a Witness who quit thier job because they found out that the job was a supplier for the armed forces
here's the reason why
.
.
" For example, a person might renounce his place in the Christian congregation by his actions, such as by becoming part of a secular organization that has objectives contrary to the Bible and hence under judgement by Jehovah God."_____Organized to do Jehovah's Will book page 155
.
.
That includes any organization that show patriotism and salute the flag even if they do sell your favorite cookie
.
.
The Red cross is a definite No No. But many Witnesses do rely on the red cross when they are displaced
by a disaster, like a house fire , tornado. or hurricane. And let us not forget Blood fractions now allowed

In the words of the WTS , even if a person Does not commit a " Sin " they can still be shunned

" Disassociation
The term "disassociation " applies to the action taken by a person who, although a baptisted member of the congregation, deliberately repudiates his Christian standing, rejecting the congregation by his actions or by stating that he no longer wants to be recongnized as or known as one of Jehovah's Witnesses"_____Organized to do Jehovah's Will book page 155
.
.
" The person who disassociates himself by repudiating the faith and deliberately abandoning Jehovah's worship is viewed the same way as one who is disfellowshipped. A brief announcement is made to inform the congregation, stating " [ Name of person ] is no longer one of Jehovah's Witnesses____Organized to do Jehovah' Will book page 155

Announcement of Disfellowshipping
When it is necessary to disfellowship an unrepentant wrongdoer from the congregation, a brief announcement is made simply stating:" [ Name of person ] is no longer one of Jehovah's Witnesses", There is no need to elaborate. This will alert faithful members of the congregation to stop associating with that person."______Organized to do Jehovah's Will Book page 154
