It is not funded nor supported by the WTS... they haven't done it in the past and won't do it in the future. It mostly comes from richer witnesses with a heart (or more likely with a good businessplan). These people need to pay for the stay by the way... so they can actually pay volunteers and support the buildings. In the end it is just run like any ordinary company with JW's as their clients.

Mentally diseased...spot the difference
by punkofnice innwt revised 1984 1tim 6:3-4 if any man teaches other doctrine and does not assent to healthful words, those of our lord jesus christ, nor to the teaching that accords with godly devotion, 4 he is puffed up [with pride], not understanding anything, but being mentally diseased over questionings and debates about words.
from these things spring envy, strife, abusive speeches, wicked suspicions,.
nwt revised 20131 tim 6:3-4 if any man teaches another doctrine and does not agree with the wholesome instruction, which is from our lord jesus christ, nor with the teaching that is in harmony with godly devotion, 4 he is puffed up with pride and does not understand anything.

A big shift in the world is about to happen......
by EndofMysteries ini don't want to deceive anyone and i have to clarify a few things so i'm sorry this is going to be a lot more vague then you want.
infact if you do not already realize or also feel something is about to happen as in the title, then move along, it will be a month or 2 before i update this.
it's not my intention to annoy anybody, i am too uncomfortable to post any details because it's too new and i need to verify things, and i am also feeling responsible to give a subtle warning, that it might be something somebody needs to see.

I think that it was the serpent of Adam that was talking to Eve... but she took the apple instead :S

Religion VS Atheism and the decline of ethics and morals
by EndofMysteries inbeing back in college after leaving the borg, one of the required classes for a degree at my college is ethics.
after learning a few things, i am curious where morality and ethics is heading for the future of humanity.
i wish i could find the source again, but several weeks ago i recalled reading a transcript of a very old document that talked about when christianity was being spread in europe, it brought civility and community.

Over all these years of humanity wars have started in the name of gods... you even see it in the bible... it wasn't israel versus egypt but Yahweh vs Ra ... it was not Israel vs Canaan... but Yahweh versus Baal.
In all the times afterwards people came with their pantheon of gods against the pantheon of gods of other nations.
We even see it these days: footballplayers praying on both sides and claiming that their gods will win.
It is time humanity learns that we are responsible for our own actions

There Is No Key To Happiness!
by abiather inreligions make it appear that there is a key to happiness and give the impression that they have the key, and enjoy people always look to them for happiness!.
interestingly, jesus meant there is no key to happiness, but it is the very nature of all human beings.
(luke 17:21) people like jws did not even translate this verse properly.

Maybe the footnote showed the "mentally deseased" thing but has been deleted... anyone a "cache" version of the text?
Or even better: maybe someone can make a screenshot of the footnote? They can not change the paperversion that quickly after all ;)
