  by NikL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  had our midweek meeting last night.

  they had a resolution to send an extra (i wanna say $1100 but i only remember it was at least $1000) per month to forward the kingdom preaching work etc.. you know how they work in the kh...no one votes against anything.

  i abstained as i almost have always done.

  We did that last year when we were TOLD to by the GB in a letter after the completely swept under the table video about how many new KHs are needed every second because of the MASSIVE growth.

  The hall I was part of had paid its mortgage and we were donating about $40/month to the KH Construction donation. Now they are sending $600 per Hall and we have 5 KH meeting in our building.

  Hmmm - and no one blinks an eye.

  No one thinks - wow its been years since there has been any new Halls being built in our county or surrounding areas.

  Lemmings one and all.

  "West World" and The Jehovah Witnesses

  by new boy in

  2. friends

  sitting there watching the new hbo series last night, i couldn't help but laugh and think about the similarities.

  the creators (the gods) and the hosts (their creations) have an interesting relationship.. the "hosts" are programmed to have free thinking but only up to a point.

  just like the witnesses.

  Sanctimonious, "WE'RE Thankful EVERY day."

  thanksgiving is really just a nice, traditional, family-oriented day set aside on a national level.

  no babylon the great.

  give me a break with the holier than thou, "we don't celebrate thanksgiving.

  Is there a biblical basis for separation or divorce?

  by Conias in

  is there a biblical basis for separation or divorce?.

  in the event that one of the spouses is being psychologically mistreated in a very serious manner where his health is severely damaged and even his own life is in danger.

  is there a biblical basis for jehovah's witnesses for separation or divorce?.

  Would it be ethical for another nation to supply weapons to anti-Trump protesters?

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the usa, claiming that the usa supports freedom, has often supported revolutionaries/dissenters in other countries.. some examples:.

  currently, the syrian war commenced circa 2011 in the so-called arab spring.

  it is claimed that the usa supplied weapons to anti-government forces.

  I Think I have Found a Way to Litigate

  by Simon Templar in

  i have been thinking about how the wtb&t society bullies all of its members into submission with the threats they use (by practice), i.e.

  “if you do this we will df you and you will be shunned”.

  “if you da yourself, we will make an announcement and your friends, relatives and family will abandon you”, etc.

  So instead of the JW liturgy that "Satan Lied to and Tricked Eve" God himself says that all Satan said was truthful.

  At this the serpent said to the woman: “You certainly will not die. 5 For God knows that in the very day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and bad.”

  Jehovah God then said: “Here the man has become like one of us in knowing good and bad. Now in order that he may not put his hand out and take fruit also from the tree of life and eat and live forever,

  God also gave man a head start on WAR and KILLING by introducing the first weapon of mass destruction. The Sword! Now even in Star Trek they would never do that cuz it's against the Prime Directive.

  So he drove the man out, and he posted at the east of the garden of Eʹden the cherubs and the flaming blade of a sword that was turning continuously to guard the way to the tree of life.
