The CO asked for money tonight at the meeting.
by life is to short ini was shocked i do not know why as i have read that the co's were doing this but to hear it with my own ears was unbelievable.
i do not go to the meetings but my husband still does and this week is the co's visit.
i decided that i would listen in to his talk; i swear i have lost some brain cells by doing it but anywho.. he started out by talking about the old story that has been in the wt many times about a little boy who was seven and raised a chicken and gave the money to the society.

Why don't they introduce a special campaign for March, and April, and during the month of the CO's visit. They could ask for volunteers to donate 30 cents for each of those months. The names of the volunteers could be announced. They could have a special meeting when the CO visits the congregation.

Have Jehovah`s Witnesses Really Complied With The Law In The State Of Victoria Aust.?With Regard to "Working With Children Checks."?
by smiddy ini have my doubts that they have.my understanding is that only a select few such as elders have got wwcc after years of non compliance.i dont think the rank and file , the majority of jehovahs witnesses going from door to door have obtained one , and if that is indeed the case , then they are still breaking the law.
i would appreciate it if their is anyone in victoria who still attends meetings or knows anybody who does to either confirm or deny my claim.. last year on regional radio abc gippsland talkback radio host celine foenander dealt with the subject who has to obtain "working with children checks" and many callers responded.one in particular stood out to me ,a self employed carpet cleaner had to obtain one before he could continue in his business simply because their could be children at home when he called.their were many similar stories like that.i phoned up and explained to the switch girl about jw`s non compliance.they were very interested in what i had to say but sadly ran out of time and it didn`t go to air.. i`m sure that if the government knew that every baptized jehovah`s witness was considered a minister of religion ,and are required to go door to door to spread their message , then every adult would be required to obtain a wwc check.. i look forward to your comments.

I think that it's a great law. But, I don't think that it would be enforced on all JW's that go door to door. Can you imagine if it was?
The Soc would have to maintain confidential records as to why some don't engage in the ministry, or why some must always be accompanied with someone.
I wonder if Elders in Ontario must sign this form.

Question 3 of this weeks Oral Review???

Comatose: I believe the same as you do. I know the Soc doesn't provide that message. I believe that Jehovah, and Jesus are loving and merciful.
I don't reason the way the GB reasons.
I think you are right, and mankinds future will be in a loving, caring, administration.

Well, Comotose, some would conclude that maybe this is the application.
However, when Jesus returned, he told his disciples to continue working and making disciples Mtt 28: 19,20.
When he returned in the 1st century, he didn't start judging the nations, yet.

Mormons Take One From the JW Playbook
by breakfast of champions inlink to the article here.. suck kids into meaningless work right out of high school, get them away from those damn universities, and make your "numbers" look good.
more mormon missionaries may mean fewer college students .
salt lake city jorgen sumsion spent the fall semester studying biostatistics at brigham young university, but he's not enrolled this semester.. .

Well, at least after serving their term (2 yrs, for men, 18 mo's for women) they can return to universities/college. Certain countries make it mandatory for young one to enlist in Military service for some time before continuing on in their education.
Our problem is we don't stop harrassing our members to do more in service. We suck the life out of them.

Splash: Why is there a need for the preaching work if Jesus judges the hearts?
Good point. All we know is that Jesus started this work, and told his disciples to continue it, but they wouldn't be able to finish it.
This raises many other questions. Are JW's preaching method in line with what Jesus expected? Is the work redundant? Should Christians leave this assignment to other methods? Should Christians avoid it?
Maybe the next Pope will have those answers.

No Comotose. I don't want to make a prediction of how and what will happen during that time. The scripture about not completing the circuit until the son of man comes means that not all will be approached with the message. The judgment will go on based on the heart condition.
"Told not to fornicate, eh?" Is that only what JW's talk about?
