Unwritten, congregational 'rules'
by Thetruthhurts inwhat were some of yours?
the big one in our hall was no frontal hugs!
these were generally thought of as inappropriate, only side hugs should be given between sisters and brothers.

I came to think that the Bible could not be what I thought it was. The Bible contains errors. And if it contained errors, it was not completely true. This was a problem for me, because I wanted to believe the truth, the divine truth, and I came to see that the Bible was not divine truth without remainder. The Bible was a very human book, devised by humans for their own motives.
There are as many interpretations to the bible verses as there are verses itself. Gods inspired word will always stand up to scrutiny,(if there ever is one) objective reasoning and evidence.
So no its a fairy tale .

the most read magazines
Hardly the most read. How can anyone account for every individual who takes/ gets/ shoved / picks/ forced are reading it at all. Boy even the jdumbs dont read it through and through. Then what can we say about others!
The worlds population which is 7.7 billion, out of which only approximately 2.4 billion are christians. That leaves 5.3 billion people .You do the math!

Jesus said ''help and feed the poor,'' not build large headquarters
by RULES & REGULATIONS ini was watching a news report last night on the homeless people in chicago, who were living outdoors in extreme cold and snow.
the homeless were seen living under bridges and street tunnels.. a missionary church called ''the night ministry'' was driving around helping the homeless with water, food , blankets and free rides to a local hospital if they were in need of medical care.
talk about following the words of jesus!.

If DOG is a hearer of prayers, then why the hell do I need to to go and confess my sins to a mere human who is no way any better/ nor worse than me. I can just pray to DOG and he can forgive me! (by the way there is no such thing as sins, we only break laws, moral laws, laws set by the govt, social laws etc but branding it sins is a cult-language in my opinion; used to control/brain wash). I call it wrongs not sins.
My gripe with the wbts is they do not have a clergy class. only a body of odours so they should not have been given the clergy-penitent confidentiality exemption privilege ! THIS SO NEEDS TO BE CHANGED!
This will become the norm /pattern in all of their lawsuits now and they will get away with murder !
(Just venting)

Aerial view of site showing proposed alterations shaded in red. A film studio, office building and a replica Biblical site are proposed at 12-14 Zouch Rd, Denham Court. Picture: Planning document
A religious group with a large membership is proposing a $9.9 million revamp of its Australasian headquarters in western Sydney in a bid to grow its digital presence.
Cindy Ngo, Liverpool Leader
The Australasian headquarters for Jehovah’s Witnesses could be getting a revamp under a proposal aimed at strengthening the organisation’s presence in the digital world.
The $9.9 million plans have been lodged with Liverpool Council and seek permission to alter the existing printery facility in Denham Court to build a film studio, which would be used to create digital religious educational materials.
Digital resources include short videos and website materials used for religious worship, instruction and training, according to planning documents.
Jehovah’s Witnesses Australasia already produces more than 400 videos a year, which are translated into 300 languages and used globally.
The existing printery at 12-14 Zouch Rd, Denham Court.
“The religious educational material is often made up of dramatising modern scenarios and re-enacting life in Bible times,” planning documents state.
“In all instances, the videos give insight and practical guidance on how to apply Bible principles.”
Located in a rural setting, the headquarters at 12-14 Zouch Rd is currently home to a printery building which produces hard-copy publications for audiences in Australia, New Zealand and islands in the South Pacific.
The site owner and applicant, the International Bible Students Association, is also seeking to add a new office building and a replica of an historical Bible site in an existing farm paddock for filming purposes.
A spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses — Australasia said the demand for digital resources had “not gone unnoticed” by the organisation.
“In recent years, there has been an ever-increasing demand for information in digital media format such as audio-video material,” the spokesman said.
“This technology is another effective means to make Bible education available to as many as possible.”
He said while there was still a focus on producing printed Bible education material, the organisation was “giving increased attention in establishing facilities that can produce audio-video based information” to meet the current demand.
So if the end is just round the corner,it makes so much sense to just spend 9.9million dollars into a building that may get destroyed soon but not to help our humans in need of food, clothing and shelter coz of various disaster and crisis in the world. Love of money is the root of all evils! Pathetic!
