  In the CENTRE of LONDON, ( PADDINGTON) the organisation bought a church, it is now a Kingdom Hall, but the outside is still a church building.

  I got an explanation from the bethel " it's just a building".

  I would say in my cynicle mind this was a purchase by a business lead organisation.

  But credit where credit is due, the organisation are financial geniuses.( I suspect that building was bought with cash and not credit)

  Seriously that purchase will in my opinion make 50, 000000.if in the future if the building can be converted in to flats.( My figures are not absurd this is PADDINGTON central London where property to purchase is 12 times the average income & it was purchased 30 years ago)

  This is a society that fleeces money from the congregation. Now let's talk facts, how many leave there homes to the society in wills? It's f..king discussing that this criminal activity is legal.

  Moan Over ( not)

  Songs from an era, create the nostalgia & sentiment of a past we once lived ( so many memories, and happy times can be remembered by putting on a song from our past)

  .....

  OH Oh it's magic never believe it's not so"

  Pilot.

  ......

  " Oh what ever happened to you?

  Oh what ever happened to me?

  What became of the people we used to be?

  Today went by so fast,

  The only thing to look forward to the past"

  Highly Likely.

  i popped into the supermarket for a few things after work today and found myself walking up an aisle alongside a couple who used to be in my tuesday group.

  i see them reasonably often and always say hello much to their obvious annoyance.

  i noticed that ian was sporting a shaggy beard.

  I think all forms of physical violence, also does a damage to the one who inflicts it.

  do you have feelings of hopelessness and fear for not having a religion?.

  do you envy happy jehovah witnesses and living their lives carefree?.

  Great points Smiddy:-

  But women can give prayer, if no baptised brothets are present, of course they have to cover their heads. ( I experienced that noncence once)

  I myself believe in no religious titles, just a word of honour and genuine fellowship for all.

  What I now write may appear rude and offensive, but MOST elders in my congregation were self- assured bastards, narrow minded and intolerant, who delighted in W.T stupidity.

  Maybe it's more polite to say I never liked or felt good in elders company. But the truth is I loathed them, and this was giving them power. Now I choose simply to forget their names.

  True believers never save their money

  by stillin in

  2. beliefs

  it'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..

  " True Belivers" often end up depending on Caesae, for state handouts.

  In Egland we give " deserving" & " high flyers" titles.

  This morning I was thinking I should have named my son PRESIDENT. I am sure it would have given him a great advantage in latter life.

  So my questions:-

  Do you think when a publisher becomes a " ministerial servant" or an "elder":-

  a ) that this often blows up the persons " prestige"?

  b) that he is then seen as someone special by many in the congregation.?

  The other side I think is NOW more obvious and repugnant:-

  a) how DID you feel when a person was labelled spiritual weak, or disfellowshipped?

  b) how do you NOW feel about such derogatory titles?

  As for myself I have concluded " titles" can have a great impact on how a person views themselfs. I however now try to look at the title as the shell of the fruit, but what is inside the fruit is what counts.

  I WOULD APPRECITE, if answers are not more than five words, not less than four. :-)

  Homo sapiens is also missing (let alone the missing links in between)

  by iconoclastic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the 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?.
