  i spent a considerable length of time living and working in america (would love to imigrate one day).. almost everyone i worked with and made friends with carried a concealed firearm of somesort.

  i found this pretty interesting and as an avid firearm fan even more so.. so to our american members here... .

  as a jw did you or did you know any practising dubs who carried or if not had firearms for home defence?

  The whole purpose of concealed carry goes out the window when one starts telling others they do so. Suffice it to say though that I am legal in all my firearms actions.

  How Long Before They Introduce Tithing?

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i was a full-on believing jw i had an obsessive fascination with mormonism.

  i read, studied and watched their propaganda with strange interest as well as their apostate mormon books.

  i have to say, they have a good scam going claiming that "the lord reintroduced tithing" in the modern age.

  No. Never was, but I have had to read too many of the letters from the WT not to be able to mimic them. I wish there were some way to compose that letter on the correct letterhead, and then anonymously drop it on the floor at the KH some weekday when it was mostly all JW women going out in serve us and see how long before that rumor got a foot hold.

  Dear Brothers,

  We are pleased to announce that in harmony with Proverbs 4: 18 which states, "...the path of the righteous is like the bright morning light That grows brighter and brighter..." we are making an adjustment to the way our future preaching work will be supported financially.

  Jehovah's standards are unchanging, and in line with our adjusted understanding of Malachi 3: 8-10 we are pleased to make the following change. Beginning January 01, 2019 Kingdom Halls will discontinue the use of contribution boxes, and going forward there will be loving arrangements for all in the congregation to, " Bring the entire tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in my house..." (Mal. 3: 10)

  At this time we have made arrangements for all to enroll in automatic online donations via JW.Org and your banking institution. A recommended annual amount per publisher has been already calculated by the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses for your convenience, which can be donated on a monthly family basis. Your local elders will be giving enrollment forms to each family head. These forms should be filled out and returned to your group overseer no later than December 01, 2018.

  The group overseer will keep a list of those who have not been able to meet that deadline and will kindly assist them in getting it promptly filled out with the correct options for each family's assigned donation percentage.

  A total monthly contribution announcement will be made at the first mid-week meeting so those who can give more will have the opportunity to increase their voluntary monthly contribution.

  We trust that this new arrangement will be a blessing to all who follow the scriptural principals involved.

  Please, be assured of our warm christian love,

  Your brothers.

  Bethelites Vow Of Poverty

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  former governing body assistant howie tran has shared his bethel vow of poverty contract.

  it reads rather culty.

  i think clause number 9 is particularly worrying...to adhere to, not the bible alone, but also the watchtower literature and the governing body.

  My dear mother used to say that, "Brother/Sister so-and-so is so prudish they couldn't say shit, even if their mouth were full of it!" I sure do miss her.

  I hi-lited each of those speculative words. And then I waited, and sure enough a busy-body mic runner asked me after the meeting why just those words. So I explained why, and gave him the Merriam-Webster definition of "plausible", and asked him why speculation was presented as fact. I mentioned that another "plausible" explanation of who Moses was talking about when he said the word "we" may just as well have been referring to God and himself, not Aaron. Then when he said he thought that could have been possible and he hadn't thought of it that way I dropped the hammer and asked him who today considers themselves to be a "we" when it comes to speaking for God? Crickets!!

  Humans only survive for 3-5 days without water...

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  and yet today's watchtower and indeed the bible condemns the israelites for moaning about having no water!

  it's never occurred to me how unjust this is!

  and how could a so called loving god not provide a basic human need?!.

  1. Free Will...?

  If I were married and told my wife each and every time I beat her for doing something "wrong" that I loved her, and she had the "free will" to leave me if she did not like the beatings...but that IF she left me I would kill her how the hell is that "free will"?
