  Dirt floors in Africa, Ultra modern Towers in Indonesia

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  2. beliefs

  matthew 19:21. jesus said to him, “if you will to be perfect, go away, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven, and come, follow me.”.

  jw family tanzania - bukombe kingdom hall.

  nothing like attending your local kingdom hall in africa with dirt floors, tarps as a roof, brutal heat with no air-conditioning, and small wooden benches to sit on after a hard days work.. does the society help this congregation in africa with a suitable kingdom hall that would have the local members more comfortable with these unbearable conditions?.

  And he also said that Christians should build beautiful retirement resorts for the GB and great cinema studios and forget about the poor, the sick, the widows and the elderly. That would be the way to distinguish the true Christians, wouldn't it?!

  2. experiences

  hello, folks: about a month ago, stan livedeath started a post about.

  how many of the readers here on the site have been or are now being shunned by friends/relatives?

  well, let's turn that around a little bit: how many of the readers here have purposely shunned a witness, when they encountered them?

  I don't shun. I smile with a broad smile, show how well I am. I even force them to speak to me sometimes! I reply to their shunning with all my happiness!

  God Has Only One Visible Organization on Earth!

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why is it important to some that god only have one visible organization to represent him on earth?

  why is it important to jehovah's witnesses that people recognize their organization as such?

  what makes a witness more moral or righteous or save-worthy if they accept that it is his one and only organization?

  I think that might be caused by the fact that people aren't used to use forums anymore... They prefer social networks.
