  Why did Jesus tell the convict on the cross next to his, that he would be joining him in Heaven TODAY??

  maybe a silly question, but i'm curious about this part of the story of christ's crucifixion, when the 1 thief challenges jesus to save himself and "us too" from their deaths, but the 2nd thief rebukes him and pleads with jesus... .

  luke 23:42-43: and he said unto jesus, lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

  and jesus said unto him, verily i say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise.. .

  one thing is certain... Jesus himself was not in heaven when he was dead. So either he was a liar or he did not meant the same day.

  Is this new donation arrangement for real?

  just read a post on jwsurvey about the new donation arrangement.

  congregations are to pledge a monthly amount to be sent to the society to fund the building of assembly halls and kingdom halls.

  congregations who already have a loan from the society will no longer have to pay back the loan but the amount pledged should not be less than the current monthly repayments to the society.

  @searcher i dont participate in doctrinal discussions, i dont come here to talk or read about the organization or our teachings and beliefs.

  Most of the times i post its about building kingdom halls and other facilities, or funding, or our website or certain facts and statistics.

  @fastjehu being a follower of Jesus does not mean you cannot have a place to live, does it? No it does not.

  And we do help the poor within our congregations with practical and material help, and we help millions of other poor,.. the spiritually poor.

  (Matthew 4:4) . . .“It is written, ‘Man must live, not on bread alone. . ."

  (Matthew 26:6-10) 6 While Jesus happened to be in Beth′a·ny in the house of Simon the leper, 7 a woman with an alabaster case of costly perfumed oil approached him, and she began pouring it upon his head as he was reclining at the table. 8 On seeing this the disciples became indignant and said: “Why this waste? 9 For this could have been sold for a great deal and been given to poor people.” 10 Aware of this, Jesus said to them: “Why do YOU try to make trouble for the woman?

  So fastjehu stop trying to make trouble, cause you waste my time

  @searcher you are being paranoid like many others here

  question...

  is money involved if you run an interational organization in 239 countries with millions of members, many thousands of buildings and millions of free books, magazines, dvd's, brochures and tracts every month and a website with a zillion downloads in over 600 languages?

  answer...of course it is.... money is needed.. we've got big plans. You have not seen it all yet.

  so the latest clip on jw.org for kids is so wrong!.

  it is about the "victory song".

  lets all sing songs about how vengeful and destructive "our loving god" can be...along with cartoonish pictures...... all rejoice at the death of the evil people who used their "god-given free will", then got punished for doing so!.

  @duvan i never join, read or post in discussions on biblical teachings/doctrines (or Watchtower teachings vs Apostate teachings) and so on.

  Most comments i make here are about plain facts and figures
