bible gives a very beneficial principle when it states “too much talk” is problematic whereas “anyone who holds his tongue is prudent.” (proverb 10:19) in harmony with this if bible had given us just enough verses like this: “remember god always and do everything as an offering to him” (ecclesiastes 12:1; colossians 3:17), it could have kept itself invincible.. instead, it started to speak “too much” which often backfired.
1) too much information on a too less important subject (such as woman’s menstruation) and yet too less information on too important subject such as creation which comes in just one sentence: god created “the mankind in his image.” (genesis 1:27).
2) jesus was taken to a mountain top so that he and satan could see “all the kingdoms of the earth” [which is in support of flat-earth belief], and satan tried to tempt jesus by offering them all in exchange of an act of worship to him.

So how great did the Female Slaves ( or as we know it to day - forced prostitution) have it?
They have great freedoms as well?
By the way - you make it seem like they were Willing Workers?
Was doGs command of language so limited he could not explain it as a Employer Employee relationship?
No he couldn't - cuz they were SLAVES - people owned by other people!

How about - ANY Talk about Menstruation - Emission - Fringes on skirts - Tattoos - Boiling the kid in the mothers milk - AND NOT MENTIONING THAT SLAVERY IS EVIL?
the study was on how wt has refined itself over the years by ceasing celebrations of christmas etc.. paragraph 11.
11 what a fine example those faithful bible students set for us!
reflecting on their example, we do well to ask ourselves: ‘how do i view the direction we receive from headquarters?
Hmm - how many times does the word Headquarters appear in the bible?
Hint - same number as (trinity) and (governing body).
Did "jesus" tell his followers to make sure to listen to Headquarters cuz the scriptures would not be enough for you buffoons?
lately my mom's gotten into all kinds of weird "power of positive thinking" kind of stuff.
she watches "the secret" and bob proctor videos all the time, and now she's trying to get me into it.
to me her being into this sort of thing seems kind of hypocritical.
Ha thats funny - I guess the WT isnt the existential be all for everyone:)
In the 80's my mom was reading Dianetics :) Not a WT approved book:)
Funny - I guess cults are cults:)
since the angels that followed satan could take on human form and even have sex and bear offspring to females of earth why would satan not have used this avenue instead of talking through a snake .?
which really makes no common sense ?.
why wouldnt eve question how a snake could talk?
Its REALLY because Snakes are so Cute and Cuddly and look so Trustworth - especial Talking Snakes.
Thats why Satan being so smart picked it instead of a Scary Bunny.
this edition of the wt has an article ("seeking riches that are true) which forcefully seeks financial contributions..... .
paragraph 3 equates giving to the wtbts as synonymous with giving to god.... .
"as christians, we do well to examine our view of today’s commercial system by asking ourselves such questions as these: ‘how can i use my material possessions to show faithfulness to god?".
steve2 you are right - but
Other religions don't keep you from going to College - having a Career you love - working Overtime - working to gather Wealth for yourself and your family.
i got this account second hand.
a former bethelite was reassigned to a local congregation.
he had been at bethel for years and is now in his fifties.
Jah loves his servants so much they are all Disposable.

i have heard rumors and anecdotes of j.f.
rutherford calling women "a hank of hair and a stack of bones" but i never thought it was documented.
well thanks to jwfacts i finally found the quote in print.. this j.f.
Thanks WIFI!
is it true, as bro jackson testified to the australian royal commission, that people can leave the religion freely?.
in my own case, yes.
i just stopped going and was never announced as ''no longer one of jw's''.
It is NOT FREE when you will lose many relationships because of their rules for DFed and also those who fade.
