I find it ironic"should you be charged for religious services"

by bobld in

some of their comments.. leaders of professed christian religions charge a fee for religious services.these may include baptisms,weddings or funerals.. but does the bible support such customs of charging for religious services or even of making people feel obligated to pay.yet,at the same time,they professed divine backing.. in the time of micah,priests "instructed just for a price"jehovah was not a supporter,he detested their conduct.. today many religious leaders resort to the same greedy tactics.. however,jehovah's witnesses obtain needed funds through voluntary donations.they do not charge for their literature or religious.

services.they don't tithe or pass a collection plate.. tell me how this relates to their charging for c.a.

or sad now d.c..

Since the tax laws were changed in 1990 the Watchtower doesn't charge for their products in the U.S.

Is this true in all countries? If they were in fact charging for their products in other countries wouldn't that demonstrate another hypocritical aspect of the Watchtower Corporaton?

Governing Body Worship

i was recently invited to join some friends for a meal.

they had a family member visiting from out-of-town who was older, and knows personally a few of the governing body members.

this individual went on about how wonderful those men are, and how happy they are to be led by the gb.. it was mentioned how telling it was that they have not been filling empty spots on the governing body, and how that the men now serving on that body were "just like us" - that one of them had been divorced (i did not know this), one of them was a vet from 'nam (i think i had heard this), and that one of them had several children, etc.

How could the Rank and File possibly rationalize a member of the Anointed Class serving in the military and fighting in the Vietnam War? Didn't JW's go to prison over refusing to serve?

I believe Sparlock Hath Cast a Voodoo-like Illness Upon Me

yes i have failed to post a single comment on a sparlock thread to this point, thus incurring the wrath of the demonic, magical wizard.

my symptoms include:.

102.7 fever.

Sparlock is powerless to the name of the Governing Body. To alleviate your symptoms and have Sparlock's evil spell lifted you must say the Governing Body's name three times while facing towards Brooklyn.

Lurker's first post

hi guys,.

i call myself a lurker, but it's really been a short time since i've known about this site...it's only been five days.

i discovered this site while doing personal research on the topics of porneia, oral sex, and mutual masturbation, and found a thread on this site about it.

Welcome seven, take it very slow with the family. The best way to bring up something like the UN is to claim that a householder or friend at college asked about it and you weren't sure how to answer. It helps to give the impression that they were "interested" and receptive.

Different family members will respond to different issues. You never know which one will sink in and really get them to think. It could be blood fractions, UN, pedophile coverup, false prophecies, overlapping generation, Jesus not being the mediator for the great crowd.

One of my JW relatives really seemed troubled when I got him to logically analyze the Watchtower's Armageddon doctrine. They teach that only JW's will be spared, which means that millions of children and babies will be slaughtered. Babies that can't even physically comprehend the "good news of the kingdom". These children will be lovingly slaughtered by Jehovah God and not be resurrected. It really takes a sociopathic mindset to accept this doctrine and not be even slightly troubled by it.

Watchtower Library Question

by peggaloon in

i have never seen a watchtower library cd so this is a very basic question:.

if you get a 2003 watchtower library cd, does it contain all publications from the 1970's or so, up to 2003?.

then if you get the 2004 watchtower library cd, it will contain everything that the prior cd has, plus 1 years extra?.

Resistance is Futile

So plenty of space but no Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures? I wonder what their rationale is for leaving that book out.
