Not only the drunken paedophile lovers, the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses(tm)(Pee be upon them), use 'theocratic warfare(tm)' then.

Can a Church Lie Intentionally? Yes.
by peacefulpete ina very recent case i mentioned briefly in another thread might be of interest to many here.
a mormon found through the internet that her church leadership had deliberately misled members regarding the origin of the book of mormon and engaged in historical revisioning.
she sued for damages for the lifelong tithing she had been deceived into giving.

while reserving the wine for himself to drink later.
Sounds like something TOMO would do.

Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. -

getting round the territory slowly compared to before?
by Indoubtbigtime infrom what i know most territory maps in most congregations are being done much much slower than before.
my congregation is very very slow getting round the territory compared to before.
then pioneers will have hour requirement coming back in march but they are just not used to getting 3hrs a day 7 days a week.. many congregations used to get round all their territory every so often, now all congregations around north london where i am (yes i’m an ms involved with territory servants) are hardly getting around their territory at all.. of course letter writing was slow going but now back to first call hardly anyone is going out in person and those few that do don’t do that much.. even the elders who are supposed to take the lead don’t seem to come out much at all and when they do i know of more than one example of them only doing ten mins maybe a few houses then going for the obligatory coffee break.

stan - hey--before covid--that could be the new BC.
Don't give the Governing Body(tm)(Pee be upon them), any ideas. The Overlapping Generations(tm) will be awaiting Jesus to be born again.
Well, never mind. As long as TOMO stays drunk and slurring his 'as a newt' words, all is normal.

My favorite Cooking Pot
by Wonderment inalthough cooking pots are not directly "religious" subject, perhaps not many will deny that a happy belly can lead to wholesome religious thoughts and peaceful spiritual discussions.. that said, through the years i have tried most major brands of cooking pots - all the way from all-clad to cast-iron skilets - including some with the most extraordinary claims in between.. however, the one we have used the most in our kitchen is one brand from denmark, specifically, the 5 quart pot called "scanpan.
" it is now approaching 40 years of daily use, and it has held-up surprisingly well.
the handles are as tight as day one when we bought it.

Dodgy knees. If you have the time.
My kids never liked Corned Beef and Cabbage though.
Mutton (a substitute for goat), does nicely in the Dutchie.
I don't often see mutton in the suermarkets. Sometimes Morrisons, It's usually a trek to the Pakistani Butchers or Pak Foods.
We are talking UK by the way, if some of the names are not familiar. I also find Bolst is the best curry powder. Mix 50/50 mild and hot together for a nice blend.
Anyway, back to my cheese sarnie..................

It depends on the meal for me.
I prefer a well used Jamaican Dutch pot. You can cook almost anything in it.

Love - the Identifying Mark of Real Christians?
by LostintheFog1999 inthe jws are fond of quoting john 13:35 that love is the identifying mark of the true religion claiming that only they have this love among themselves.
they love each other.. i was reading the gospel of luke today and thought about the words of jesus luke 6:32-35 niv, “if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you?
even sinners love those who love them.

Foggy - I looked at some church commentaries
When I was a believer I found the Wm Barclay commentaries most edifying. If I recall, he was Free Church of Scotland.
As far as 'love' is concerned, I really don't believe people have this in buckets full. From my bitter experience, it only goes so far. Even the most highly professing member of any 'loving' faith has limits. I wonder if it's because there is no real altruistic person alive. As speaking creatures, humans are by and large a huge let down in the end.
