I can attest to that. My mom refused to save on the basis of Armageddon being "just around the corner". What made it worse was the fact we were dirt poor (i got my first pair of new shoes when I was twelve) but my mom was always too happy to donate to the KH. How my dad put up with her nonsense is beyond me.

True believers never save their money
by stillin init's an article of faith.
either god is going to save them or he is not.
since one local elder proudly told me that he never saved a nickel until just before his retirement, i've given this subject some thought.. savers are worldly..

I highly doubt anyone's conspiring to assassinate her, for one.I personally wouldn't waste a 37 cent bullet on that oxygen thief. I wish her sentence involved being forced to work for gay rights.

Jesus was historical, and inspired too!
by iconoclastic injesus said something that only our generation could provide an avalanche of proof.
he said: it is easier for a camel to get through a needles eye than for a rich man to get into the kingdom of god.
(mathew 19:24).

Agreed. Being a responsible consumer is one of the many ways we can accept responsibility for own positive behavior. As I said before, enough with the blame game when as individuals we could be making a better effort in securing a more promising future for our planet.

I must commend the family in this case for not relying on the BOE to sort the issue out. Now if only other parents would follow the example. Poor kids. Can we just make it legal to have an open hunting season on pedos please? No guns allowed, only bludgeoning weapons. -

Well I guess that's all the evidence I need. If the sun rises tomorrow I'll be sure to catch the morning meeting and express my regrets for having doubted the bOrg. -

reason is most of the wealthy fail to treat the fellow humans as fellow humans.The bible is meaningless nonsense to me so I'll adress this for practical reasons.
Poor people are also guilty of inhumane treatment, brutality, disrespect for the environment and greed. Wealth has little or nothing to do with how we treat our fellow creatures and environment. What Jesus said does not support your unrealistic view of life at all in this case.

Largest amount of refugees since WW2 in Europe
by Powermetal4ever inso i had a discussion with my mother about this, and she claims that because of this that: "we are surely living in the last days right now" while i must admit myself that the situation seem chaotic, i don't want to believe that it is the last days.
so question is, how do i face an opinion like that?

If we could only get over our differences and come together as a species for the common good there would be no refugees to begin with. Of course at this point in our history this is just a fantasy but it's my favorite fantasy ... -

London Bethelites Are Agitated!
by The Searcher ina source has informed me that a relative who's in london bethel has said that a number of bethelites there are very uncomfortable and embarrassed because the branch has received "quite a few letters" querying why members of the governing body were wearing flashy rings and jewellery on some of the monthly broadcasts, but on the broadcast when the g.b.
asked for more money from the congregations - their gold and jewellery was not on display!.
will probably emerge one day wearing sackcloth, begging for yet more donations..

That's a legitimate concern, I would say. At least they're paying attention and questioning irregularities instead of shaking with fear at the thought of questioning god's chosen. -

Homo sapiens is also missing (let alone the missing links in between)
by iconoclastic inthe word sapiens (from latin, meaning wise) when applied to humans as final evolute, it is understood that humans manifest wisdom in their day-to-day living.
one of the features of being wise (which means having/showing experience, knowledge, and good judgment) is about replacing wastages with something better.
is this being done with regard to many of the greater aspects of our lives?.
