  No atheist could possible hope to win an election in today's political climate, BUT.....

  not taxing churches is taking as estimated $71 billion from our economy every year.

  watching one of the late night talk show and the host mention how much dough we could have to help the poor if the churches were taxed.

  i check to see and i b-damn, mormon church spends 7% of its annual income on charity, the average for churches are 29% to help the poor.

  As a kid at the book study with the family book - I remember the older elder (german) conducting talking about how even anything but missionary was unnatural and wrong.

  But its not a cult.

  Would human settlement of Mars invalidate Bible prophecy?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't think this topic has been discussed before but yesterday i read something to the effect that trump wants a human mission to mars to be completed within his presidency.. with that being said, the watchtower teaches that what started on earth ends on earth, in other words, the fall of adam and eve would end with the passing of the 1,000 year millennial reign when christ destroys all his enemies, rebellious "perfect" humans, and the devil and his demons who are let out the abyss for a short while.

  he then hands the kingdom back to his father.

  an elder in my old congregation once told us during a public talk that he was an ardent astronomer but then referenced the scripture where it says, "the earth he has given to the sons of men" (psalms 115:16).

  Well prior to that - I pretty much think History and Common Sense invalidated it first:)

  last week we had a reassurance ultrasound with our ob.

  she was just supposed to check heartbeats on the two little ones and they were going strong!

  but because she had extra time and she can be quite anal about her work (which is a good thing) she decided to take some measurements.

  I am very sorry - having experienced 2 miscarriages and a possible very bad diagnosis on another (turned out to be ok), I have so much sympathy for you and your wife.

  All I can say is that although it always stays with you - it does get better in time.

  12 The Governing Body is neither inspired nor infallible. Therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction.

  Hmmm just like all religions:)

  So why should anyone listen to them?????

  How many of you followed the WTS direction on education years ago and have been screwed by it?

  by Julia Orwell in

  2. friends

  i'm really interested in this question because i've heard for years that if you forgo further education and go pioneering, when you have a family down the track you will get a good job because jehovah will provide for you because you pioneered.

  as long as i was a kool-aid drinker, even then, i thought, "how does pioneering pay your bills?

  surely education should come first.

  Are there 'ultra strict' congregations?

  2. friends

  when i studied as a young adult, it was in one of those congregations.

  having viewed the religion as a quaint little band of christians it conpletely dumbfounded me when i was told about such rules as 1 - no beards.

  2 - you must wear a suit to meetings and while giving a talk.
