I'm a bit lost here . . .
Is this serious or a wind up!?
I tend to agree with Funky Derek's comment re soup kitchens and tax . . .
But aren't the implications for the WT way bigger than McGregor ministries or am I missing something - apart from possibly the fact that they've got $millions to "prove" they are a charity as opposed to Lori McGregor who's probably skint . . .
has gas prices affected your service time any?
outaservice (who had to quit altogether ) .
seriously, do you think it will affect the good ole society?
My son's answer to that was, he'd be glad to pay $10 per gallon if he didn't have to pay property tax. He's paying almost $600 per month just for the privilege of living in his house--on top of a house payment. Do you have property tax in the UK?
Hi Bonnie.
Just explain "property tax" a bit more. What's it for? We may have an equivalent here called Council Tax
Out of interest, what's the value of the property and how much is the "house payment"?
I find comparitive living costs quite fascinating - how some countries "value" certain "commodities" differently to others.

i am not a jw and only know what my friend has told me about the faith.
i saw this website and decided to see if i could get another opinion on this matter.
during the course of my business, i have met and become friends with a troubled woman who was born into a jw family.
In 607 BCE the Babylonians destroyed Jerusalem because of their wickedness and hardened hearts towards his requirements.
Add that to your research list as well!

How many people in other so-called Christian religions can even find scriptures in the bible? So if they can't do that and are just taking the word of their priest or minister as fact, then that is the definition of brainwashing. JWs are encouraged to research things that are not immediately understood.
I would run away quickly if I were you.
Or you could start doing the research you say you're encouraged to do.
Here's a few:
Blood
Child Abuse
UN NGO/Library card scandal
Current conflicting stance re 1935
from wales to london,,,4.7.
hope all are ok. orb.

okay everybody, grab your barf bag because i just got a steaming shovel full of craptastic notes from gerrit's zone visit to the land down under !!.

zone overseer was losch and his side kick was a big black guy, quite a scolar, cant remember his name though.
Even selling their belongings and moving somewhere would be too much for most of them, and the older members would vividly remember pre-1975 if that was to happen.
I wish they would say something this stupid . . .
Esp if they suggested giving the money to the society.
The one thing that would have them leaving en masse would be to suggest this. I'd be all over in a month.
does anyone wish to compare and tell us how the watchtower society can maintain two conflicting doctrines at the same time?.

I KNEW someone was going to say that!
I was going to clarify that many believe that the 144000 are indeed literal Jews so therefore it is a literal number.
So are you saying that only 144000 go to heaven - just not 144000 JWs?

I just posted my opinions on this in another thread!
I think that they COUNT on their members not REALISING that they hold contradictory interpretations.
I think that within the next 10 years WT will have "New Light" that the 144000 is actually a "symbolic" number
Problem solved . . .
Eventually they'll gravitate towards mainstream Christian doctrine.
JW teaching in 30 years time:
Christ will return and restore earth to paradise.
Human life will always continue and originate from earth.
Eternal life was not meant to be earthly
Little flock was Jewish believers
Other sheep are gentile believers
At death the hope is heavenly.
144000 (long forgotten) is not literal.
Mainstream Christian belief in thirty years:See Above
Somehow they'll still teach they are God's Exclusive Channel
january 15, 2008 watchtower, page 23 paragraph 16. it seems, however, that not all who have been called to a heavenly hope since the 1930's are replacements for ones who have fallen away.
jehovah has evidently made sure that we will have anointed christians amoung us all through the final days of this system of things until the destruction of "babylon the great.
