  How do you know the cost? I looked at the web site and I couldn't see anyprices. please advise.

  Also.. I once saw a Web site where the WTS were selling their old (12 months old) cars, which the CO's were using. does anyone know if this site is still around?

  You Aussies, Is this true?

  i met some friends from austrailia and we were talking politics.

  they said that everybody in austrailia had to vote.

  if you did not vote you are fined.

  Yes it is true. If we not vote we can a fine of $50. What the JW's do, is they write a "standard" letter that explains that as "Ministers of religion bah..bah... we refuse to vote bah...bah..." and thanks to the court case's won by the WTS in the USA in the 50's, our goverment accepts this reason. There have being times when some Councils ( City Halls) refuse this reason and send out fines, but in this case what the Bro's do is to tell their local elders who then inform Sydney Bethal and who then come down like a ton of bricks with all their legal boys and they sort it out, but in 20 years as a JW I've only seen this needed to be done once. Of course the WTS is only looking after their own interest, they ccouldn't give a stuff about the individual.

  Have you read your "camels" today.

  of all the stupid type and prototype watchtower invented, the most idiotic one to me is that the 10 camels used by abraham's servant eliazer to find rebekah represent the bible today.

  do any of you remember this absurdity?.

  I know that one very well. But what i can't understand is that, that was an "arranged" marriage, but the WTS never talks about that part of it, they seem to avoid telling us it was an arranged marriage. they just talk about the girl giving the water to the camels. It seems its a great way of finding that "right" woman. hahahaha Well ladies.. start watering my camels ! or maybe i should just ask my dad to find a woman for me, just like jacob did hahaha

  The Right to Discriminate

  by RubyTuesday in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  every one discriminates, and everyone is discriminated against, at some time.

  discrimination is using your judgment to make decisions about whom you will associate or reward with use of your time and property.

  all people discriminate in their personal associations constantly -- you discriminate in whom you choose as your friends, lovers and business associates.

  Lovely list blonde...you never cease to amaze me blonde.

  I can't agree with franklin's point. NO need to have women sleeping their way to the top when we have qualifed men molesting young children on their way to the top.

  Would You Stick Up For A Friend If They Were Being Dealt With Unjustly?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i knew many people in the congregation that were dealt with terribly.

  but most times, people were afraid to talk to the elders or were afraid they might get shunned by the more prominent ones in the congregation.

  so they closed their eyes to their own friends being treated poorly and carried on as if nothing really was happening.

  a small typing error..i want to leave no doubt as to what the C/O said to me..... repeat "..if the elders couldn't help her, you shouldn't have.." That speaks Volumes.
