JWs and charitable work

by kj in

jw
friends

i've read on here several times about how jws are discouraged for doing charitable work for anybody other than jws, and that they are discouraged from contributing financially to non-jw charities.

are there some references to this in their literature that someone could point me to?.

also, i had a discussion with a jw about a recent relief effort some jws did in florida.

facts and reality can get so distorted in the witness subculture that huge blind spots.

are created.

as the current saying goes, "they just don't get it".

in an informal announcement at service meetings this week (corroborated by the question box in the january 2005 our kingdom ministry, pg 7) jws interested in contributing to the asian tsunami disaster should contribute directly to the "worldwide work" (the general fund).. the entire article referenced above: .

what is the best way to make contributions for the benefit of needy brothers in other lands?.

at times, we hear about brothers in another land who have come into material need because of persecution, disaster, or other difficult circumstances.

The Book of Revelation

by under74 in

okay, if anyone's seen my last post i'm doing a research paper on adventist groups.

right now i'm reading revelation since it's a big thing amongst adventists.

my own conclusion is that revelation had to do with the time it was written in.

Catholic organization donates $25 million to tsunami relief

it's amazing how as witnesses we used to just rip on other religions and organizations, not the least of which was the catholic church.

i was reading another article listing donations from various organizations and companies, and it looks like we're going to have a record outpouring here.

It feels like my first Christmas!

by Sassy in

jw
friends

many of you have read my posts this past year and know i've felt somehow disapointed in the holidays.

the idea of the magical euphoroic feeling i expected always seemed to be missing.

the last thread i wrote on holidays, many of you gave me a lot of food for thought regarding the holidays becoming more real when i start creating my own traditions, so they become special to me.

and a happy new year

Benny Hinn - DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?

by William Penwell in

just watched a documentary about benny hinn ministry, i can't believe anyone is that gullible to believe this crap.

not only is he a fraud but he is also a crook, taking money from poor susceptible people.

he also sure likes to live the high life to.
