The Watchtower is not for the good of the people, so it should not be funded

"Should religion be funded?"
by figureheaduk ina few months back i was at my girlfriend's placed when i noticed a copy of the watchtower on her dining table.
if i remember correctly, the picture on the front cover was that of a donations bowl being passed from one hand to another, with the title being something along the lines of "religion : should it be funded?
" i didn't read the article (or any other part of that damned magazine for that matter), but i'm guessing that the following may have came up in that article in one way or another:.

(((((((Cruzanheart and Big Tex)))))))
I'm so saddened (and angered) by this. Once again, they prove how heartless they really are, and even go as far as accusing you of lying (which is mighty rich, coming from that lot!). Every day I hear story after story about how the WTS has destroyed families and ruined lives - it only serves to make me despise those running the show even more, day after day, week after week. My deepest sympathy and eternal best wishes to you both.

Hi everyone
A few months back I was at my girlfriend's placed when I noticed a copy of the watchtower on her dining table. If I remember correctly, the picture on the front cover was that of a donations bowl being passed from one hand to another, with the title being something along the lines of "RELIGION : should it be funded?" I didn't read the article (or any other part of that damned magazine for that matter), but I'm guessing that the following may have came up in that article in one way or another:
1) The usual about the WTS being the only "true rligion" and that all other religions are false, worshipping satan etc
2) The quote from the bible about "bringing in the tenth part" (can't remember which book it was in)
3) Not giving anything to other religions because if you do, then you are basically funding the guy with the red, scaly skin ( and by that I mean satan, and not Tom Jones!)
4) Subtly trying to tell the reader to try and give as much money as possible to the WTS, and not only giving various methods of making donations, but also an adress of where to send donations.
The reason why I'm asking these questions is that I was wondering how predictable the Borg really is. Was I right, or way off?
Thanks and warm greetings to all

Hi Jesika
I'm really happy for you! One thing I've always found is that rekindling old friendships is often just as fun as starting new ones.......
Take care and good luck!

Dead ringers.
by petespal2002 inhave you noticed how milton henschel is a dead ringer for captain picard?

I can see the similarity - makes me wonder if Henschel's last words were something like "Mr Jaracz, you have the bridge.........."

A prophet...voice of God or ??
by MacHislopp into begin let's start with some ... reminders: .
the truth will not allow for all the different kinds of religious doctrine in the worldthere can not be two sets of truth when one does not agree with the other.
one or the other is true, but not both.

I tend to think of them as false prophets (amongst other things). Not really sure why.........

"New light" on Independant thinking?
by figureheaduk ini've just been reading an article on the jwmedia site about a study into wt literature that has been ordered by a russian court.. http://www.jw-media.org/newsroom/index.htm?content=/region/europe/russia/english/releases/religious_freedom/rus_e030523.htm.
it goes into the usual wt waffle about the persecution and harrassment of jws, religious freedom etc, but the following quote caught my eye:the study also revealed a much higher level of education among jehovah's witnesses (when compared with that of the average muscovite), which tends toward independent rational thinking and decision-making.
now, this would give joe public that the average jw is therefore able to think for himself, and reach his own conclusions independantly.

I did think of mentioning the education thing too but didn't really have time to try and dredge up some old WT quotes on higher education........
