  How would you respond?!?!?

  an eldub recently said, " sure, we have changed many beliefs in the last 100 years, but christendom has had 2,000 years to clean up their act an they haven't done it.".

  this was prompted by today's wt session which mentioned nathan knorr's eager acceptance of rutherford's refinements concerning the 1,260 days.

  of course, he also said that he can't really keep up with everything.

  That 5/10/20 should go.

  It always defaults to 10 and I have to change it to 20. What a pain! Who in their right mind would choose 5?

  Apart from that one niggle, I'm starting to get used to it.

  Do you have extended family that you could help? Any entrepreneurial nephews or nieces that are trying to start their own businesses?

  Has any individual or organisation helped you or your family during your lifetime? I'm thinking about hospitals, support groups, wise advisors etc that have benefited you.

  Could you sponsor a local food bank, soup kitchen or other charity that you see makes a difference in your area?

  I'm not suggesting that you give it all away, but a little from you can make a huge difference to others.

  And has been suggested, you've done very well - make sure that you live your dream too!

  The IQ level has dropped so low that no one knows how to use them anymore.

  The last time a Henry hoover was left out at the back of the hall, our WT conductor asked for his comment.

  w00 1/1 pp. 6-11 "it took additional time to purge all wrong ideas. For example, in the 1920’s many Bible Students wore a pin featuring a cross-and-crown emblem, and they celebrated Christmas and other pagan holidays. However, for worship to be pure, all vestiges of idolatry must be discarded. "

  There was a WT article discussing this. They never considered the cross and crown as something to idolise, just something to identify themselves with. The new logo fits that exact same description, so according to the above quote, it does constitute idolatry.

  jw dot org is the modern day golden calf.

  It amazed me how the brother in that video led up to the moment of revealing this device.

  He says all about the problems they wanted to solve, then proclaims that it is a provision from Jehovah that they have this player.

  He didn't mention that other charities have been using it in Africa since 2010.

  So I ask you, did Jehovah bless the other charities first, or does this really have nothing whatsoever to do with Jehovah at all?

  Ja 1:27 says The form of worship that is clean and undefiled from the standpoint of our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation, and to keep oneself without spot from the world.

  You might also use the good Samaritan text. The injured man wasn't preached to, he was cared for physically, as many Churches do through their various organisations.
