  it is known as "the green handshake" and everyone knows it happens.. .

  the giving of money to c.o.

  's to curry favor or perhaps a position or some special privilege.. here is my question:.

  Millie, in the US an individual may accept cash gifts up to $14,000 from any other individual without reporting them for tax purposes.  That is the level above which the Gift Tax kicks in.

  You can bet your bottom dollar that these cash gifts are never reported.

  an earlier discussion has been highlighting the differences between da'ing and df'ing.

  xena said:i am sorry qadreena but i have never in the 20 some odd years i have been a jw ever heard of an unbaptised publisher being d/aed...marked as bad association yes..but d/a...no...but i guess stranger things can happen.... well that brought it all back.. actually xena the exact same thing happened to my brother in the early 80's.

  he was only 14. he'd carried on associating with a friend of his who'd been disfellowshipped.

  Merry Christmas and a hopeful 2015.

  haven't posted much recently as i've been busy but in a good way!!.

  it's been a pretty awful couple of weeks in the news with terrorist attacks, which took the shine off the christmas build up.

  i wonder if anyone thinks it may all be building up to something??

  Hi, Quelly -- I don't think there's anything new under the sun.  The ISIS or ISIL terrorists are today's version of Hitler and his regime.

  Happy day to you, too, Hortensia and everyone posting!  May you enjoy the guiltless peace of not knocking on doors this lovely day, but instead sharing time and food with your loved ones and friends.

  The Atheist Ten Non-Commandments

  by AndDontCallMeShirley in

  according to a number of studies though, religion is in trouble.

  a survey by the pew research center in 2012 saw record numbers indicating a huge upswing in atheism, with 20 percent of americans now identifying as agnostic, atheist or "unaffiliated" with a religion.

  this was the highest percentages ever of "nones" or those who are unaffiliated in pew research center polling.. so with more people considering themselves atheist, what do they believe when it comes to the rules to live by?

  Let's not forget that all-important nonlogical jdub teaching that birthday celebrations result in death.

  So, nooooo, you cannot possibly commemorate the most important things in life...like the creation of new people!

  I missed this when posted but O.M.G. Is there no end to their lunacy?

  The jdubs will focus on comments such as "all our 80,000 properties are managed by volunteers" and think, wow that's so cool, we must be god's chosen people because we use volunteers!

  They totally miss the important fact that they worship a real estate developer.

  so, i'm visiting family this week who are all jws.

  yesterday, it started with one of them talking about a co giving her some points on time keeping for service.

  she is now writing a letter before she drives to service, so she can count her drive time.

  As a rule, the piousneer trust fund elderettes got first crack at all the outlying territory maps.

  The poor regular pio girls who had to work for a living got stuck with all the territories close to the hall and in the shady parts of town.

  Feel the love?
