we had another letter read this week from the 'slave' that asked for more money again.. it asked for a resolution to be passed by all congregations in support of the circuit overseer to pay their expenses and medical expense was included in there.. a resolution was put on the floor and voted upon and agreed by show of hands that our congregation would send over $2,000 for the year 2016.. the society broke it down to how much it would be per year for each publisher but i do not remember what they suggested.. i was glad i was listening in and not present this week because it would have been obvious i did not support the resolution because my hand would not have been up when the attendance took a count.. has anyone here also had the letter read at their service meeting this week?.
The WT will probably grab as much money "for CO's" just before making half the CO's redundant.
I'm amazed they haven't thought of a "sponsor a bethelite" scheme yet.
The bethelite can draw the sponsor a picture once every six months, or send an occasional photo of how clean their room is.

i took a hot bath this morning.
then, after making my bed and saying "good morning" to my roommate, sana--i jumped on my bike and headed off to breakfast.sound exciting enough for you yet?
which parts of the publications are the innacurate words of 'just imperfect men', and which parts are the inerrant words from the mouthpiece of jehovah on earth?.
how can you trust that you are being given correct information?

does an still active jws know if the baptism questions have changed to reflect their recent eagerness to baptize young children?
or do they cajole the kids through the 80 or so questions, not expecting right answers?.
i was never baptised, so i don't know the old drill or if there is a new one.. thanks.. my auto correct doesn't know there were 80 questions!.
a really great example of wt pulling doctrine out of their heiney that nowhere exists in the scriptures!
when i started waking up to ttatt, i remember in my own reading the tons of scriptures that speak of god, the holy spirit, etc teaching directly.
tons of scriptures that go against the wt doctrine of only able to learn through them.
