I have a question on the Circuit Accounts Scam thread

by gubberningbody in

jw

i didn't want it to get buried and i'd really like to know.. so i knew pretty much what he was saying was true, but what i don't get is how the creative accounting works.. i mean you have to show expenses on the ledger - and i mean real expenses, like the co/do expenses along with receipts.. you have actual costs for the power coming into the building.

the paper supplies and cleaning supplies.

the vacuum cleaners and mops and other sundry items, and you have to have receipts for all that.. i also know that when you made a "donation" it was off the books at the circuit level as far as accounts were concerned.. but how is money not being accounted for?.

In case anyone has any further information, in Australia every registered entity needs to report their P/L every financial year to the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC), these reports are available to the public however they cost money.

Knowsnothing: can you prove to me that its symbolic?

One is Isaac and Abraham and while nothing bad occured it shown's what Isaac had to put up with even though he didnt do anything wrong.

exodus13:2;Lev27:28-29;jud11:29-40; there is some more I can't think of at the moment.

designs:2kings9:26-29 26 As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, “Help me, my lord the king!”

27 The king replied, “If the LORD does not help you, where can I get help for you? From the threshing floor? From the winepress?” 28 Then he asked her, “What’s the matter?”

She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him today, and tomorrow we’ll eat my son.’ 29 So we cooked my son and ate him. The next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him,’ but she had hidden him.”

Jer 19:9 I will make them eat the flesh of their sons and daughters, and they will eat one another's flesh during the stress of the siege imposed on them by the enemies who seek their lives.

lamentations 4:10

With their own hands compassionate women
have cooked their own children,
who became their food
when my people were destroyed.

Theology

by sabastious in

jw

theology is the study of religion and religions are human systems of spirituality.

it could then be said that theology is the study of the applications of human spirituality.

human spirituality is a chosen way of life.

Maybe satan is the good guy??

if you caught me reading the kit at the assembly I would have told you off to the elders.

JW's are people just like you and me, and a study in human nature will show you that these blind belieths is an on occurring pattern with humans, i hope the internet will change that. YHWH can be both divine and demonic, read the bible.

Belief in God: What were the difficult aspects and questions you had.

by designs in

two main one's for me were god being capricious and serendipitous..

Joey Jo-Jo

My only beliefe at the moment of God is what occurred to me when I was younger, all the poltergeist and noises, things I see that disapeared, but this may reflect something other than god of the canons and gnostic books, but I think its not relevant as God has not made himself known, also its very confusing the bible and you can never be 100% certain of it.

Out of interest I read a lot of books from other countries and religions and finding it very interesting, one that I am reading now is called God save us from religion written by Ian Vayros, its like one of bart ehrmans books on steroids.

The Amish will inherit the Earth

by fade_away in

so their belief is basically that soon they will all be amish and revert back to a 16th century lifestyle.

even though they will be able to use 100% of their brain, there will be no technology, just milking cows and eating vegetables and raising barns.

the watch tower even hired weird al to make a video depicting what it will be like.

Joey Jo-Jo

Interesting things about the Amish, they also shun ex-members and they use only use a german bible that only members who can read it use.

it didn't take long.

about a month ago i had to leave this forum because i was approaching financial ruin, not just because of the time i spent on this forum, but i had to start chucking things out of the helicopter if you catch my drift.. about a week after i quit an old boss contacted me on facebook.

a huge web development customer contacted him about a huge project they are working on and have the funding for.
