  FOLLOW THE MONEY !!

  by Phizzy in

  this from j.w survey :.

  https://jwsurvey.org/we knew they did this to a degree, but this is a blatant way of siphoning money to where the leaders want it, with no control, no transparency, and no way for anyone to be able to see where it has gone.

  jehovah’s witness uk headquarters dissolves kingdom hall charities, seizes full control of property and finances.

  @cofty - I'd be glad to see a song composed for this case, kind of "The British JWs told'em to F*** off!" :)

  Hi, Zing!

  Thanks for your help. Those two manuals are practically unknown to the Russian jw community. Still, there is a chance to reach some ex-CO for the CO manual, but regarding the branch manual - chances are next to zero.

  Comparing Assad to ISIS reminds me of comparing Hitler and Stalin. No matter who is worse - the winner is still a genocidal tyrant.

  Will Brexiteers be happy with Phase 2 of Brexit?

  "brussels plans to insist that in order to get that "quick and dirty" deal, the prime minister would have to sign up to eu conditions: alignment with eu environmental, state aid and tax regulations for example.

  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-50777995.

  would such a deal represent what they thought they were voting for in the referendum?.

  LoveUniHateExams, cofty - thanks a lot, guys. I'm not from the US, but I get your point. Basically, it's the migrants problem, and the lacks in the EU's decision making policies - AFAIU.

  Looks like you, guys in UK, have decided that EU is corrupted beyond repair. I agree that it really has quite a lot of problems. The EU is weak and prone to Russia's influence/money - that's what makes me worry. I wonder what will happen now, when you leave it.

  Could you, guys from the UK, explain briefly what are you pissed off most at the EU/Germany?

  Except from paying the EU money.

  Assad no doubt is a tyrant (like many others today). But the actual reason for this war is nailed down by resolute Bandicoot. It's just another Russian mafia's warfare for it's 'right' to live off the gas and oil resources (selling them to Europe).

  The rest (Islamism, secularism, etc) is just words.

  What The Fossils Say

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the old creation book had a lot to say about the fossil record.

  if i remember correctly it was some lie about all the fossils ever found would fit on a single table.

  the reality is that there is an embarrassment of riches illustrating the evolution of life.

  @Sea Breeze - could you please, explain your point of view on the finding you mention?

  I'm in no way an expert on evolution, but it seems you yourself are still not sure about the difference about 'pertrified/fossilized/calcified' fossils. I've actually read the article - it doesn't contain any claims that this finding somehow proves the science to be wrong, and religious myths true - please, correct me if I'm missing smth.

  a group of ten u.s. religions, including some major lutheran, episcopal, methodist and baptist denominations, have decided to try church collections by credit card.w75 11/1 p. 651 - the watchtower—1975.

  Been to a mid-week meeting this week. We were shown a creepy-culty video about online donations. They solicit money to produce money-soliciting videos :)

  Sounds quite desperate of the Borg...
