You make a fair point. There are many approaches to what constitutes Christianity. At the end of the day it becomes a matter of interpretation. I am unqualified to offer my interpretation as I no longer have one.

Do you tell your spouse about your spending habits?
I don't spend money - I was put on earth to earn money for the greater good of Caesar - who turns out to be my wife.
But then what else would I do with it?

The Watchtower Society has presumed to take the place that Jesus holds in the minds of most Christians. Instead of looking to Jesus as the mediator for Christians and the only way to salvation, they claim that only by joining and following them can one have a relationship with Jehovah. This means that all members are personally answerable to the Watchtower Society.
Members have been trained to believe a relationship with Jehovah through Jesus is impossible without belonging to the Watchtower Society. At the start of 2010 Jehovah’s Witnesses began using a new song book entitled, Sing to Jehovah. It contains 135 songs, 42 of which are new. Not one of the song titles contains the name Jesus or Christ. The Society’s own Bible states, ‘ He that does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.’ John 5:23
I don't claim to be a Christian but when I was a Jehovah's Witness I did make that claim. I was sincerely wrong.

When I was a Pioneer - about 100 years ago - we had a whole bag of tricks to get time in easily:
Backcalls that gave us coffee so 2 of us could waste 30 minutes or so sitting down just delivering 2 magazines. Then a long slow walk in the sunshine to the next call and another coffee.
Always stared my time early by putting a few out of date magazines through a few doors on the way to the house we were meeting at.
Also counted my lunch break as an employee working an 8 hour day is entitled to do.
One pioneer bought a small car so he could be more efficient. It worked so well he sold it. When I asked him why he said it saved too much time and he had gone back to walking so he could get his time in.

Pams girl Glad to see you are still around. We'll keep a welcome in the hillside.
Aussie Oz The term pagan is from the Latin ' paganus' and refers to rural, rustic or of the counrtry. People living in the country who decided not to become Roman Christians were refered to as pagans. So most trees are pagan as they are from the country.

A long long time ago my Grandmother heard a knock at the door ....
by gorgia inhi everyone; this is my first post.
yes, a long long time ago my grandmother, freshly immigrated from post-war england to rural australia, waiting for months for her husband to follow, with only her baby for company, heard a knock at the door.
she opened it and there were two witnesses, who, after hearing how she'd just been crying in the kitchen, begging god for a friend, probably couldn't have believed their luck.

The faithful and discreet slave or faithful and wise servant is believed to refer to any Christian who stays alert and active, increasing the kings belongings until Christ’s return. It could also be a reference to any gladiator that brings glory to Caesar.
