  WHAT IS WATCHTOWERS TAX GAP?

  by badboy in

  2. friends

  a tax gap is the difference between what a corporation pays and the theoretical amount it would pay if they didn't take advantage of loopholes..

  This question makes no sense. The WT is a religion, they have no taxes, therefor there are no loopholes they need to take advantage of.

  Or you could say its all a loophole.

  I think some of you are blowing this into something way bigger than it is.

  If you are living under someone else's roof then they have some say in what goes on their home. I don't allow people to smoke in my house, its my house and its my rules.

  This is not a exclusive to JWs either. There are still plenty of parents who would not allow their children to share a bedroom with ther boy/girl friend when they visit.

  How would you answer this statement?

  by elder-schmelder in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it was during the reign of zedekiah when nebuchadnezzer destroyed jerusalem, & the bible does accurately describe the succession of the kings of judah.

  this is a statement that my grandma said to make a point that we can verify the date of 607bce as the correct date for the fall of jerusalem.

  how would you answer this statement?.

  How does that "prove" anything?

  Nebuchadnezzar destroyed Jerusalem in either 586 or 587 BCE, not 607. There is nothing in the Bible that contradicts this.

  Cole was DF'd??? Wow.

  Yeah Bland was kind of a character, but seemed quite popular.

  Lot of names I recognize from this list. Don Friend, Doug Hunter... Then there was Gary(?) Wells. Bobby Christian. Bennett, short little DO tyrant. ANd of course Chuck Velours. Ray Harriman was also a very popular CO back in the 70s.

  my daughter was here last night, she asked if i knew about john travoltas son dying.

  i said yes, her reply was... scientology wouldn't let him take medicine and thats what killed him.

  i said, well actually, the news said he was taking meds but they no longer were working for him.

  They get all into Sarah Palin's personal life but regarding the Travolta's they don't mention what effects their religion played in their son's treatments.

  Uh, Sarah Palin was running for the second highest office in the land, with a guy in his 70s and history of health problems. Travolta is just an actor.

  Besides which, even most of the media have enough decency not to start ripping a family who has just lost a son.

  I went to college about ten years after I graduated high school, should have done it sooner. It helped that this was after they loosened up on higher education, but I would have done it anyway. I didn't really get any flack over it, but at that point I was already starting to slide, went from a pioneering MS to irregular meeting attender.

  It was a couple more years before I got out completely.
