SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT re: Riley Trust Tobacco Compan Stock & WTS

by Oroborus21 in

i have no interest in pontificating on this matter which to me seems so straightforward.

however, since i continue to see newbies and others periodically post in error stating that the wts "owns" tobacco company stock i believe that this should be corrected and the matter put to rest, hopefully for good.. .

facts:.

I would add something to this very old thread.

Even the wicked Pharisees refused to accept the 30 coins that Judas wanted to return into the Temple's treasury, because it was money tainted with blood .

How much more, then, should the sanctimonious self-styled 'God's sole mouthpiece on earth' - The Watchtower Society - refuse contributions from a fund that invests in shares of corporations that deal with tobacco and weapons, who are directly responsable for thousands of unnecessary deaths every year?

Is it so hard to spot the blatant hypocrisy here?

Oh heck, I only now realized that the results of the two tests were different.

On the 16personalities one I got INTP

On the human metrics one I got INTJ

What now? Is there a way to untie?

Geoffrey Jackson's Golden Apple watch INVESTIGATED

by C0ntr013r in

i went through the original footage to get a good look at the watch.. from these pictures we can probably say that it is a apple watch and that it has a golden color.

the color on the pin is black, and the band is white, grey, silvery or beige.. .

the pin is in the exact place for it to be a apple watch.. only apple watch edition have the gold color.

Back in the early 1990's I heard a talk by our CO that told an experience that went more or less like this:

In a certain congregation in a poor neighborhood a brother who owned a manufacturing business bought a very expensive car. Nothing necessarily wrong with that, said the CO, except the brothers at the congregation were uncomfortable with that display of "materialism". So what did the good brother do? In order not to stumble his brethren, he sold the expensive car, and instead bought a much more humble, small, second-hand car. That way, the peace of the congregation was preserved and no one had any more cause to stumble.

Boy, are we removed from those days, aren't we?

Today's meeting & WT 7/2015 study "Work to enhance the spiritual paradise"

by Mrs. Eden in

so, much against my inclination, i went to the meeting this sunday morning.

just starting to fade, but i needed to do it so that it doesn't look like my hubby turned my head during last week's vacations.

since i'm not just disappearing cold turkey, i went.

From the 2015 Yearbook:

Total hours spent in the field ministry (2014): 1,945,487,604.

What a staggering amount of time! Now, let's just to put this into perspective: According to UNHCR, the total amount of people dislocated by war in 2014 are 59,500,000 million people.

Now, if we divide the amount of hours the Jehovah's Witnesses have spent in their useless "field ministry" work, for the number of refugees, each Jehovah Witness could have spent 2h45 minutes each month to volunteer to help these refugees. Wouldn't that be a much more productive and truly helpful way to spend their time to meet true and immediate needs of people, rather than preaching the 'desperately needed guidance from Jehovah'?
