My opinion on Christian churches and tithing 10% is that they are just another con, run by men who use Jesus to get rich. Same old revival scam, new tent.

Opinions on Christian Churches and tithing 10% inc
by nowaytess ini saw the thread on tbn, and felt this question was a good one to pose to the board.. .
tithing is being preached more and more in many christian denominiations.
a chrisitian is under obligation before anything else to give 10% of gross income to the church.

Good day oldman,
welcome to JWD. the worst thing I ever said to my farther was that I hoped he would be able to remain a JW in good standing for the rest of his life. He didn't "get it" but I still feal guilty for my harsh words. I think you will find that most of the posters here are on there way out or like you and I, never bought in to the cult.from one goat to another peace

Buster,
I'm use to it I've been L. D. my hole life but sometimes it still gets under my skin.
At first in my anger, a called Alain names back but when I realized what I had done, I edited it to what I really wanted to say. There is enough hurt without me adding to it.
No one who has had the WT as part of there life baptized or not is without an emotional problem, at least to some small degree. Not one.All the same thanks, reading your post did make me feal better.

Hi CW02,
Your situation is very sad and only more pain can come from it. I think maybe, for the first time every poster on the thread is in agreement, you can try and get him out or walk away, but as others have said he is NOT the man you think he is. All I can say is find a new guy, the pain will pass in time.I wish for happy endings but there isn't one to your relationship with him. I'm so so sorry.

Welcome to the board Buster.
There are a lot of good people here and a lot of bad people too. Don't let them keep you from posting or drive you away. I've seen newbies driven off by harsh posters please don't let that happen to you. pull up a seat and sit for a spell, it's good to have you with us.

A Child Molestation Case
by Yerusalyim inmy personal experience aside, once again pedophilia has touched close to home.
some of you may know that i'm catholic, and that my bishop, wilton gregory, is the head of the united states conference of catholic bishops that came up with the zero tolerance policy for abuse.
bishop gregory, bishop of the diocese of belleville, illinois, was recently in the vatican urging support for the policy, for which the vatican has expressed concerns about the rights of the priests being violated.

Six,
thanks for posting that, I've never seen it before. It's well written, understandable and makes sense, unlike my stuff when Chris is out. lol oh well.I only wanted to post my feelings of shame over the church's handling of one of the most vile acts that can be committed against a kid. I seem to have gotten side tracked and I can't express my self in this medium very well, sorry.

Christians pray for each other, that is the way it is. Why? because maybe it will help. Why do you pray for people? should I never again ask anyone to pray for me? There is nothing wrong with someone praying for me and it might help.

Although the good DR. Did indeed say the Interlinear New Testament in the article quoted, (no problem with me). A quick search revealed his position on the NWT as well, this should not be overlooked. He is in support of both bibles, not only the INT but the NWT.
If he had supported only the INT i would say fine. But to support NWT as a scholar, what am I to make of that? maby, he is being misquoted that would fit.

Again I didn't say he wouldn't, I said I don't know and neither do you. We think, we hope, but we don't know. Christians ask people all the time to pray for them and so do I, just in case it would help. but when I do it's funny and Jesus is being henpecked?
Are you claming that Mary henpecks Jesus, no just another dig I think.
