  The Ransome Issue

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  from a very young age i have been curious about the ransom jesus provided.

  i always wondered why god found it necessary to have his son killed for our sins or our inherited sin, when he simply could have just waved his hand and forgiven us.

  my catholic faith helped me some to understand the 'financial' exchange aspect of the ransom, but it was never truly satisfying to my sensibilities.. upon becoming a jw, i felt that they had better ideas and definitions.

  Obituary Pioneers

  by LovesDubs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  things have gotten desperate in the us for the borg.

  they lowered the hours required by the pioneers to 70 and there was this little surge in the number of pioneers and yet there was a negative "increase" in this country.

  so...desperate times call for desperate measures.

  Speculation: destruction of service records

  by Skimmer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one result of the reorganization of october 2000 is that all the full time workers , now members of the "religious order of jehovah's witnesses", have to take a "legal vow of poverty" to remain in service.

  the speculation has been that this new requirement is due to recent legal claims in some european nations that the wtbts was liable for retiement, medical, and unemployment taxes/benefits.. ah, but what about all of the hours and hours of work done by full time representatives of the wtbts prior to the reorganization and the poverty vow?

  it seems to me that the obsessive record keeping of the wtbts is going to bite them in their behind should the service records be available via the legal discovery process as part of lawsuits for back wages and benefits by disgruntled workers.. has the wtbts destroyed the potentially incriminating service records?

  'Changes That Disturb People' Awake 4/22/70

  by ISP in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the reasons is that people are disturbed by what is happening in their churches.

  yes, millions of persons have been shocked to learn that things they were taught as being vital for salvation are now considered by their church to be wrong.

  have you, too, felt discouragement, or even despair, because of what is happening in your church?
