Maybe something important came up and God didn't lift a finger to help him.

by nicolaou insea breeze: @nicolau,i stated my case rather succiently, which you failed to address.
if you have a better solution to the problem of evil than what jesus offers, then why don't you present that in a new topic?.
pathetic diversion.

NotFormer,
My experience was during Knoor's time. 15yo me thought Jehovah "opened up their hearts" to allow strangers into their home. Unfortunately, I saw the whole thing as proof Jehovah was blessing our work. Hubby said to me, The householders probably thought you girls were asking for yourselves. LOL
Dagney,
We only stayed at a private home once. It was for the NYC 1958 convention. My dad had an important assignment where we needed our accommodations for 3 weeks. The rooming people must have had a Star by his name or something because we were given a lovely suite in a gorgeous house.
We barely ever saw the owners. We left early and came home very late. No time to witness even if they had wanted to. Knowing my dad he probably gave them a large "tip" and The "Paradise" book that was released at that CONvention.

I can't think of any legal grounds for a terminated Bethelite to sue. First, No one is HIRED. Also, Bethelites SIGN a VOW OF POVERTY. They are completely aware that ALL their work there is voluntary. Anyone who wants to leave may do so, after the first year.
Watchtower Corp. has covered their legal behind before a Bethelite spends his first night there.

When I was a teenager the District Convention was going to be held in my city. This was in the 1960s when JWs could go through the Rooming Department" and ask for a room in a private home which was cheaper than a Motel/Hotel.
About a month before the convention all of the pubs. did "Rooming Work" instead of the normal Minestry, myself included. We went from house to house asking people if they would be willing to offer a bedroom and bath to PERFECT STRANGERS for 3 DAYS and NIGHTS for FREE!!!
I went house to house with another teenage girl and was astonished that in less than 2 hours 3 householders AGREED!! The rooming Dept collected money for those rooms but the householder got ZILCH.

Wow, I have never seen that tract. The gruesome picture on the back explains a lot to me about both my parents. They were baptized in the 1930's

Is 1st Century advice on marriage still relevant in today’s modern world?
by liam inrepublicans want to make a law that forbids ‘uncontested divorce”.
they based this on this scripture.. matthew 19. is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?”.
4 “haven’t you read,” jesus replied, “that at the beginning the creator ‘made them male and female,’and said, ‘for this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’ so they are no longer two, but one flesh.

Liam,
Have you forgotten that in the 2016 election Hillary Clinton decisively won the popular vote over Donald Trump? He won only because of the Electoral Collage.

Voting, why make it easier to vote??
by moomanchu indemocrats are always harping on and on about voting rights and how the ability to vote should be easier and access unrestricted.
the most progressive ones want to allow prisoners, and illegals with no voter id the ability to vote along with the criminals, drug addicts, and uneducated low lives who already can vote.. .
after they push for everyone and anyone to be able to vote they then tell us it is a sacred privilege, a duty and honor, and a big responsibility blah, blah ect..... if it is all those grandiose things are true i think it should be harder to vote not easier.

An Independent voter does not affiliate with Either Political party platform for various reasons. However, In my case, I have always voted for either the Democrat or the Republican candidate, Never the Independent. Same goes for Baalamsass. We vote for a person who has a chance of winning, who more closely represents our ideas and values and IOP is more suited for the job.
The vast majority of voters in the area we live are full on Red Hat Republicans. So voting in local elections means we will be voting for the Republican who is more moderate, Not the one who allowed a speaker to address someone else attending the Board of supervisors meeting as "That N*****".
We have probably voted each party about equally, We no longer want to belong to a political cult or any other. For us, it's time to think for ourselves.
