i was wondering if co's who get 'green handshakes' ever report their 'income' from these jw benefits?
in the us even gifts beyond a certain amount must be reported.
jw's like to claim how honest they are, do they report all their income?.
JaniceA is correct.
According to the IRS (2017), if someone gives you more than the $14,000, the giver must file a gift tax return.
The person who receives the gift owes no tax.
EVER.
If someone gives YOU a gift, do you feel compelled to go to the IRS to pay tax on it, carla? Or do you just feel that EVERYONE else should abide by harsher rules than you do?

Another possibility might be Greg Love and Kimberly Norris of Ft. Worth Texas.
I don't know what their status is. I hope they haven't retired too.

LizD, you are as much a HERO as everyone is telling you you are!
You opted for RIGHTEOUSNESS over cowardice and complicity. Your parents were accomplices and deserve to be PUNISHED!
thought i'd start a separate discussion on the subject.. those who know me know i'm struggling with faith; i want to believe, some days i do but it becomes difficult.. many believers say there is verifiable proof of jesus' existence outside of the bible.. please post this proof..
Because tens of thousands of children believe in "Slenderman," he MUST be real, because human beings rarely make errors.
Consider also that "Slenderman" was unknown to the generation of these children's parents. For such a shift in consciousness to have occurred so suddenly within one generation would suggest something real took place.
Iron-clad argumentation!
this guy has to have the most courage of anyone i've ever seen or balls the size of basketballs.he actually gives a good talk and has tidbits scattered about throughout his public talk with hints,suggestions,innuendos of the wt organization.i never want to go in another kingdom hall again in my life but would have made an exception just to be in this audience.
lolnotice what's going on in the audience when they realize somethings up.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqqt0y1peuu.
I don't know his specific details, but I was an MS when I gave my first public talk. That is how it was done back in the 1970s. My first public talk was also my last public talk because soon after that I learned that my congregation (Middle Village, Queens, NYC) had a pedophile who was allowed to go unpunished. I began fading soon after realizing that there was no Righteous Jehovah guiding a Pure Organization.
we all know the rate of suicide is high among jw's.
my question is this- was there some subliminal messages that encourage this.
i was a born in and my entire life i would have these thoughts that could come out of nowhere,"kill yourself.
Xanthippe is right on the mark.
As my many many friends, fans and followers know, I was in the WTB&TS cult in the period of the late 1950s through the mid-ish 1970s. During that time period, JWs were given a vitual "Ticket to Paradise" through the WT doctrine that Armageddon was due any day now ("closer than the inside of your eyelid," I used to say) AND people who died prior to Armageddon could expect to be resurrected before people who died further in the past. This "Last Out/First In" (LOFI) strategy made "theocratic sense" at the time; after all, wouldn't King Jesus want you to be there when your parents and grandparents were resurrected? Sure he would.
But the unintended effect of this was it this gave people that "Ticket to Paradise" I mentioned earlier.
Many availed themseles of this opportunity, and many others seriously considered it.
That's my observation. Your mileage may vary, but if it does, you're wrong.
when i first became a witness, i always found the teaching about jesus being the arch angel michael hard to swallow.
i did however believe that jesus pre existed as a master worker alongside god (the first of his creation).. but now everything is brought into question having watched anthony buzzard explain why jesus could not have pre existed as it is impossible to pre exist yourself.
also the fact that it all sounds contradictory to suggest, he was already alive millions of years before he was transferred to mary's womb to be born as a human - the son of man?.
Not only did Jesus NOT pre-exist, he didn't exist or "post-exist" either.
While there may - or may not - have been a historical Jewish revolutionary who was the object of a massive historical publicity campaign and con-job, there certainly NEVER was a "Son of God."
Why? Because there is NO god to "father" such a Son.
Religion is a snare and a racket - truer words were never spoken!
Only you can set you free.
