  Do you pay for air for your tires at your gas station?

  this was on the news this morning.

  when you buy gas air is part .

  of the service, it should be free.

  Jam thanks for sharing

  The point is

  If you are buying gas at a station and need to use the gas hose you do not pay seperately for gas and the use of that hose. Also included with the gas purchase is air and water. If you need these things during your visit, paying for them would be double paying since you made the gas purchase and have a right to use the other (air and water) hoses. Before your post, I didn't know this was the case.

  If you pull up to a station JUST for the air, and it is not a regular free service, then you have to and should pay.

  your day is coming.. think anyone will bother to read your 'dick-and-jane' magazines on jw.org - much less contribute for them?.

  Atlanta International Convention Hotels Not Being Filled Up!

  by James Jackson in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this week our kh devoted the whole service meeting to the upcoming international convention in atlanta.

  they read a 5 page letter from the branch which stated basically that we should feel priviledged to be invited to this convention.. however, many are not using the "recomended lodging list", "many hotels still have plenty of rooms available", "we must be loyal to this arrangement", (or the organization will not get their comp rooms)..

  An international convention right in the heart of the South. I might have to make a roadtrip, stay with a friend and find some dance parties to invite the Dubs to.

  Except for the initial blurbs about the Trinity, holy spirit and what power Jesus has, they seemed to do pretty good research on JW doctrine regarding the prrdictions. It would be interesting if they did the same amount of research on their own doctrine.

  An important difference between atheists and true believers

  by Hortensia in

  1. social
  2. current

  true believers, whether christian, muslim or whatever, want to convert you, they want you to believe what they do, and they're willing to go to extremes to make it happen.

  atheists don't really care what you believe, and don't go out of their way to convert someone.. http://ow.ly/vn1jz an example of what believers in power do to suppress any difference in thought.

  http://ow.ly/vraeo an example of why believers want to suppress different ideas (because they can't win in a fair fight, that's why).

  What conclusion does the OP want those who enter this thread to leave with?

  If it's something like "Athiests (In my own myopic viewpoint) are better than True Believers", then the irony is weighty.

  New "Donation Arrangement" is a DECOY!

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  put yourself in the org's position - distasteful as that is - and come up with a solution to solve the problems of not only recovering their stock market losses, but also, ensuring an increase in their dwindling revenue stream.. the major problem is, donations are voluntary (with no future guarantees) whereas pledges are compulsory - in the heart and mind of the giver!.

  however, far too many will probably forget/refuse to keep up their monthly tax - with no way of knowing who is 'paying the man', and who is not.

  master stroke - make plan a 100% certainty to fail in the first year, based on the 'anonymity' of the setup.

  Really interesting thoughts in this thread.

  Pulling directly out of a bank account would be the cheapest way to fleece.

  That requires no approved workers at each congregation. No handling of checks and money and no bounced checks.

  It does not seem loving to accept checks which could cause the WTB&TS to have unpaid banking fees.

  The WT makes a lot apply to them. It's their own trinity- something that cannot be explained logically or historically, but sets up their power.
