  Snippet from Instructions for Credit Card Donations at Circuit Events

  by Splash in

  2. scandals

  thought this was a clever little ruse.. it's on page 11 of the instructions booklet.. .

  the refund function is used to reverse a credit card transaction after it has been settled.. the refund function has been disabled.

  any donor whose debit or credit transaction.

  I think everyone should go and do a credit donation and then do a charge back.

  it all seems so playful and cutsie wootsie to an insider i suppose, i am seeing posts all over facebook about how this is just what my kid needs.. this is truly proper food at the proper time blah blah blah blomit blomit vomit vomit... the funniest part is however is that it cuts out at the end by saying "let's practice what you are going to say".. .

  why not make the video longer and discuss how you can get an idea for a 6 year old on how to talk to a grown person about how they are going to die unless you study the bible with me..

  Maybe we should all go to the assemblies and if we see a parent abuse there child call 911 right there at the stadium. If the police would get enough call I wonder, how would that make Jehovah look?

  How Has the WT's False Predictions Damaged You Personally?

  how has the wt's false predictions damaged you personally?.

  i was 12 in 1975. i never believed i'd "make it".

  after i made it, i never really trusted adults again.

  Born in 'The Truth' I always believed they were the only true religion. I believed if I disobeyed Jehovah, I would be destroyed at armageddon. These teachings were deeply in grained in me.

  When I was 27 I was disfellowshipped. Quite honestly this scared the hell out of me, knowing I would die at armageddon. After 15 years, I finally got reenstated. About a year after I was reenstated I went to the elders for help with a problem. Within two weeks I was disfellowshipped again. This made me question how such a policy could of complete abandonment helped?

  After the JC told me I was going to be DF that night I went to visit a close friend who I grew up with at my old KH. He had me read Crisis of Conscious. The information in that book blew my mind. I was forced to listen to lies by my parents for 40 years.

  So to answer your question, at one time:

  I thought, I knew why people die.

  I thought, I knew what happens at death.

  I thought, I knew the prospect of humanity.

  I thought, I knew the Bible.

  Today I know I was lied to. This infuriates me.

  Today, I don't know why people die, what happens at death, the prospect of humanity, or even the bible. In fact, I even question whether this is even a god.

  Have You Been Lied To?

  by cha ching in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  "few experiences hurt more than learnig that someone you trust has lied to you.".

  "you might feel humiliated, angry, or even betrayed.".

  "imagine then, how you would feel if you learned that you had been lied to about god.".

  CHA-CHING, shame on you! You know very well that the wt doesn't lie! They simply get new light. It's all the other religions that hold the same doctrine for centuries that are lying.

  Well if WT isn't lying, then wouldn't that mean that Jehovah, Jesus, or the angels are either lying or unreliable. So no matter how you look at it, a partial truth is still a lie, no matter where it came from.

  I wonder if this lawsuit could have something to do with no Bibles.

  "I can't wait for armageddon."

  This is a totally sick and selfish thing to say. If they were right, they're actually wishing for the death of billions of people. Very depraved, morbid, and Satanic.

  Just Throwing Out The Idea Of A Class Action Suit Against The Watch Tower Corporations

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i think now that the governing body is in this big power grab in order to stay alive as an entity, thus tighten control, the more controling the more they open themselves up to legal consequences.. blood tranfusion forbiden by a authoritarian religous corporation.. disfellowshipping enforcement that brought pain and suffering thousands i'm sure these type of lawsuits could break them but i'm not well versed in law so i thought i would thow this out for discussion.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/class_action.

  in law, a class action, a class suit, or a representative action is a form of lawsuit in which a large group of people collectively bring a claim to court and/or in which a class of defendants is being sued.

  class actions are commonly referred to as class action suits; however, this phrase is redundant as the historical distinction between "actions" at law and "suits" in equity is no longer recognized.

  If you could prove they were a cult and not a religion would the 1st amendment still hold true?
