Why did they have to complain about the JW rebate? Was this overlooked? I remember going to some cities, when you had no choice to book a room, because of the approved Lodging List. Then the Hotel Administration got deceitful, and ripped off some JW's. We complained to the convention dept, but they said they wouldn't be used next year. BS, they still were. I used to manage a Hotel in my younger years, and I knew what was honest practices.

Is is right to leave your job for the WT? In an assembly interview
by skin inwe had an assembly part here 6 months ago where a sister was interviewed by the co because she left her job to do more wt work, she talked about some jobs that she had recently been offered with good pay but turned these down.
most listening to this is would be thinking that this sister is being blessed by jehovah for taking this stand, how much faith she has to do this and what can we do personally with our own jobs, made me almost feel guilty for having a job.
anyway come forward 6 months to now, this family has had to move to another region because the husband couldnt find enough work to support his family here.

I always have mixed emotions when I hear those experiences. For one thing, I worked for companies that had many JW workers, and logically we couldn't all be away at the same time. Some had to compromise and attend on another date. I did experience some conflicts with some employers that wouldn't budge at all on this so, I would rather say that I quit on them, I did benefit from sticking to my principles, but not everyone was that fortunate. I finally got a job that honored my religious views and paid me an additional vacation day to attend my DA. My advice is, if you hate that job, and you beleive that you can find another one, then take the leap.

BBC Radio 4 reference to 607 Babylonian conquest?
by 88JM inwas listening to bbc radio 4 late sunday night, and in a programme about migration, they referenced the "babylonian conquest of jerusalem in 607 b.c.
" which caught my attention.. did they not mean 587 b.c., or did i understand it wrong?.
the link to the programme is below - sorry if you're not in the u.k. as you probably won't be able to listen to bbc programmes.

Yes, that's right. I remember seeing you there. I really dispised you for taking that last hot dog on the refreshment stands. That's just the kind of thing I would expect from a Rebel...Wait, now I get it.

Paul - GB Member (W 9/15/14)
by pixel inok, is this a "new understanding" or what?
up until this point i thought that the borg refered paul as a co or do, but never gb member:.
p. 12 now, why would paul a spiritual giant who likely was a member of the first-century governing bodycall himself a miserable man?.

Praise For Witnesses On Welfare Who Full Time Pioneer!
by minimus inthe watchtower has always praised witnesses who are on welfare and decided to pioneer.
many in my congregation, including my mom, were given kudos, praise and assembly parts because they took advantage of jehovah's provision through the government....did you notice this, or was it obvious to me because i was raised in the inner city and many people recieved government help?.
