i read somewhere on the internet (don't recall what site it was) that jw's donations are going towards sexual abuse cases.. is this true?.
where can i find solid evidence regarding this matter?.
.
insidetheKH not at all
I can see why you would wish this statement to be true, but your wishing does not make it true.
Either the money comes from the general contributions fund known as Worldwide Work, or they have a specific fund to pay millions to victims.
Which do you think it is?
Which would be worse?

can anyone please direct me to a download of the watchtower library on cd?.
.
matty.
Even the earliest WT Library CD's only went as far back as 1950.
Don't want any of that crazy old 'light' being available!

i have to share this with you.. after leaving the borg i had to concentrate to solve so many personal problems (financial, child custody, etc.
) that it left me with a poor social life.
i just didn't have the nerve/time to make new friends.
Listen to the leadings of the spirit!

does a female kingdom publisher need to wear a head covering if she conducts a bible study in the presence of a male publisher?.
in a questions from readers item published in the watchtower of july 15, 2002, it was stated that a sister should cover her head if she conducts a bible study in the presence of a male publisher, whether he is baptized or not.
further consideration of the matter suggests that a modification to this direction is appropriate.. if the male publisher who accompanies the sister while she conducts an established bible study is baptized, the sister would certainly want to wear a head covering.
This new teaching makes sense.
I always thought this was the case anyway.
Splash (anticipating the response of every JW)
why important: many that we meet in the.
ministry are polite.
however, jesus prophesied.
"May I show you from the Bible the basis for that teaching?”
Shouldn't that be "May I show you from the Bible that teaching" ?

to give a little background, my parents are in their late 50s.
around a year ago, my elder dad got laid off from his job.
he worked as a auto mechanic making ok money.
Maybe tell your dad that if he's been praying for a solution and he gets a job offer, why does he attribute that to Satan and not Jehovah?
Some were apostles, some teachers, some had other gifts. Maybe God doesn't want your Dad pioneering - there may be something else for him down the line.
But I agree. Watching people avidly pursuing hardship is difficult to do.

"it's the intent that counts not the result.".
i have been out of the jw organization for some 22 years now and i sometimes get a reminding jolt out the hoops that some will jump through to make their religion make sense to them.
the first line in this post is what a jw on the street here in salinas told me on saturday when trying to justify the society's history of false prophecies.
I would have loved to have heard one more question:
"Since you have been wrong so many times before because 'this is the way Jehovah works', why should I believe you now?"

i cant figure out when the auntie and uncle thing started or why.
it sure is a peadophiles dream to have a kid they dont know call them uncle!
they are now in a special relationship.
Same here, we called the older ones Uncle and Auntie.
There was Uncle Tickle-Fingers, Auntie Turnablindeye and Uncle Whoops-Clumsy-Hands
I think they're all in prison now.

When the cash has run out, BU2B, they will look to you to support them.
The CO's that have advised them will be long gone, and the congregation that applauded them will tell them they have family (you) and you should now pay for them.
You will become their "provisions from Jehovah".
Just to forewarn you about what the future holds.
