by menrov in

do not know where to post this but i like to hear your views on what you think had the biggest impact on humans.

for me, 2 things:.

music: every human listens one way or another to music and will likely have some sort of emotion.

Signing Away Your Hard Earned Cash

by Disassociated Lady 2 in

reading the meeting workbook study for this week to see what my family will be reading at their meeting, once again they are asking for members for generous gifts not only from money they earn but also part of any investments they may have and making future arrangements for them to inherit after death through their wills.

take a look at the lower part of the page on this link, its awful!

the WT has a hotline you can call if you have any questions on how to donate!!

Last time i checked the WT doesn't have a hotline to call about questions regarding the society or to answer bible questions.

I thought that was worth repeating dbq407

Do you believe in god?

by freakyAL in

i used to be a staunch believer in god.

maybe its technology and science advancing so much thats got me doubting idk.

do you believe in god?

The God of the Bible ,the Koran,the book of Mormon and any other religious writing put out by man or woman ? A BIG NO

So in that sense I`m an Atheist now from previously a true believer in the past.

Are their higher intelligent beings out their in the universe who may have been responsible for life on earth ?

I dont know , what I do know is that their is no higher power that we need to worship to gain his/her approval.

October the 1st 1991 WT that picture condemns God Jehovah like no other .

Then their was the one about "Youths Who Put God First In Their Lives" children that died needlessly

What a sick organization posing as a religion.

Jehovah is supposed to be the Almighty God Creator of Heaven and Earth and no less the Universe ? Right ?

A watchtower once said he is the ultimate chemist that figures he created the Universe.

So for the love of me I cannot see why Jehovah God want`s YOUR hard earned money that you need to survive and exist in this world

he has permitted and actually supports.Rom.13:1-7

and how does that scripture compare with 2 : cor.4;4 And lets not forget Matt.4:8 to provide the 3 witness rule.

The bottom line is why would the Almighty God ,the Creator of the Universe need YOUR MONEY to accomplish his purpose ?

a watcher :

Jesus Christ: who or what could possibly have a bigger impact on humans than the son of God.

Well your right ,Christians in the name of Jesus have killed/slaughtered millions of people in the name of Jesus over the Centuries.

And if Jesus Christ disagrees with those Christians acting in his name he has been bloody well silent for the past 2000+ plus years .

I think that is a big impact on humans whether he is really the son of God or not the son of God.

This week's "Give Us Your Money" meeting item.

by freddo in

jw
friends

if you went to it, (or go later this week) how was it handled?

just the video or some commentary too?.

i have heard of a few negative comments from some that attended - one jw even openly said to me "not very encouraging, all they go on about is money lately" and another (a serving elder, no less) said "someone's got to pay for all those lawsuits".

. By encouraging EOL donations they are tapping into a source of income that reflects the failure of their own doctrine. I suspect the irony escapes the majority of course

.Good point konceptual99

Captain Obvious: A Success Story

by Captain Obvious in

january 2012, at the age of 24 i “woke up” to the truth about the truth.

march 2012, i joined this esteemed message board and was welcomed.

this forum was such a help.

smiddy3

All the best to you captain Obvious and your wife ,congratulations on the coming birth of your child I hope that all goes well.

Your wife obviously has more functioning brain cells than a lot of women currently attending KH`s

Sad but true.

It never ceases to amaze me that JW`s believe that Jehovah gave each individual a brain to use and yet they refuse to use it effectively and give their thinking ability over to a few men in America the birthplace of so many Cult religions.
