  Venting some rage and pain.

  my father the coboe and much loved member of the cult has ignored me and my children 17yrs and 8yrs old for much of my life and all of my kids lives.

  i hate that religion for taking my father away and i hate him for being sucked in and putting all his love, time and kindness into the org and the stupid dubs and leaving himself too tired and uninterested in us.

  my kids dont have grandparents, my mum is ok, she rings me once a month but kinda ignores my kids, just gives em $50 each a yr as a substitute for love and attention.. .

  Such a sad tale, jemba.

  You can hold your head high, but how sad for your grandchildren to be ignored by their own grandfather.

  I feel for you very much.

  Where does all the JW money go?

  by LouBelle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i want to know.. does every kingdom hall, bethel and assembly hall belong to the watchtower, bible & tract society?.

  each of those kingdom halls, bethels etc are built with the money obtained by that country's contributions.

  if a loan is needed the bothers of that specific congregation pay off the loan.. the society has then an extremely huge amount of property worth billions of $$$$ who has control of all those funds?

  did you know there are only 6 magic tricks in all the world?

  yes, only six.. all illusion, prestidigitation, legerdemain and sleight-of-hand combined merely juggle these six elements.. briefly, they are:.

  are humans really getting dumber (may you all have peace)?

  there have many positions on this for both sides.

  saw an announcement on the news this morning and was intrigued: could it be true?

  There is nothing politically incorrect about what I said.

  NC, do calm down and read a post before answering it!

  I said it would be politically incorrect if you were in the UK. You're not. I was just so surprised to find things so unequal in the USA, given the American Dream we keep hearing about. End of story.

  Please don't de-rail it for another 2 pages, Chariklo.

  Please can you explain what you mean, Palmtree, for elucidation?

  Thanks for asking, Size. I'll think on it overnight.

  "He who loves me will OBEY my commandments...

  by AGuest in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  to the household of god, israel, that is on jw.com, and all those who 'got with' them:.

  may you have peace!.

  because israel has, at this 'season' fallen asleep with regard to many 'things' that our lord, the son of god, jah-eshua mischa-jah ("jah saves"; messiah - "chosen of jah"), 'commanded' us to teach others (matthew 28:20), i am compelled by the spirit of my father, the holy one of israel, jah of armies (psalm 68:4), that is in me, by means of my lord, to remind israel of one of such commandments.. on the night that he was put to death in the flesh, our lord gave a commandment, to which he stated "keep doing this in remembrance of me.

  The Watchtower Corporation hides its lies and corruption behind the belief in the Bible

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when one takes a close analytical look at the workings of the watchtower corporation.

  over the years, right back from its very beginning, it becomes obvious that this religious .

  publishing house has exploited the bible toward its own concerning means.. commercialism in the face of religious virtue.. this organization has always created its own established doctrines to lure people toward the.

  Absolutely right, Finkelstein and Terry. The Watchtower preys upon people's fears, and uses their respect for the Bible for its own nefarious purposes.

  It's a commercially=based cult.

  Just noticed this.

  I think I'm probably correct in saying that most in public housing do not have college degrees. Not all, of course, but most.

  Wow, that would be very politically incorrect if you were in the UK, because it is fortunately not the case at all in this country. Can it possibly be so in the US? I thought the USA was the country where the American Dream held sway, and I thought the American Dream meant that anyone can do anything, no matter how poor. Am I wrong there? Please tell me! Our public housing is rather good, by the way. Room for improvement, but not bad at all.

  Good job that in the UK and most of Europe we have equal opportunities for all.

  Still, back to your evidence-based discussions...don't let me disturb you....

  It was your opening word "Just" and the use of inverted commas . . .

  It's common parlance in the UK, size, to use an opening word"just" as a synonym for "exactly", thus completely in the spirit of my quest for clarification.

  If I've misjudged your question, I apologise.

  No need to apologise, size.

  But also in my response . . . you will find the answer to your question.

  Would that answer be in the "lot of folks" or in the very peculiar

  and they've just been glossed over or ignored in favour of this entrenched polarisation that you seem intent on reinforcing.

  Why can't we just slow down and take in ALL that is being presented OBJECTIVELY and drop all this them v us bullshit . . . please!

  ? Seems very perplexing....
