  Why not help 'the friends' with the wealth?

  by neat blue dog in

  in the new testament, when funds were collected, they were distributed to all, not hoarded at hq (not that there was an hq).

  of course now they're fraudulently taking credit for the government's free food program, but what about other things, unlike disaster relief, that don't get them publicity and credit?

  for instance, the latest jwdotorg article about azerbaijan says this:.

  Watchtower's additude is " Be warm and well fed " and slave way for us. That's way they hate education. Once you see holes and patterns in their stuff you start to think you are being used for something bad.

  it so happens that my grandfather and i share the same birthday; -- this month.

  i lived with him from 1930 to ~ 1947. so, following the parenting pattern in our family, he would be born, be alive by ~ 1880, the same age as the "watchtower magazine" , therefore, you could say, we both lived in the wt era, right ?

  dare we say we belong to the wt generation,?.

  I'm still struggling with the great flood. Can't figure it that science as a different explanation that throws the flood account out the window. The Bible seems to filled with mystery and unproven stories.

  Elders are the ''human resource'' workers of the Watchtower corporation!

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  here is a brother who really thinks that elders are there to help him after admitting that he cheated on his wife.

  his conscience is bothering him to the point of letting elders know all the details of his affair.

  ( his affair should have been private, between himself and his wife ).

  Longhairgal- Some self righteous, well to do J-dud tries to con you into doing more for the Org. But wont help you or even look down at you for working a full time job or getting and education. After years of this abuse and bullshit, I walked away from it. My life has never been better with me calling the shots.

  I always considered elders as "The Police" that would enforce the WT crap on those in the congregation.

  Were JWs Right That There Would Be A Time When Governments Would Go After All Religion?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  they have predicted this for years.

  religions of the world would become attacked by the governments.

  the only difference is when they go after jehovah’s witnesses, then jehovah god will step in and destroy the governments..
