i know, i know, it sounds like a scheme / scam... but reputable sources (namely kevin rose on techtv) have said that this is not a scam.

it has been widely discussed on the internet and tv, and everyone says it works.

anyway.. yes... you can get a free ipod by just having 5 people sign up and take a quick survey (about 15 questions).

FMZ...I've noticed a few familiar WTBTS words in your post

A Good Start

by bebu in

last week, for the first time in years, 2 jws came to my door:.

http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/79637/1.ashx.

today was their first return visit.. the "original" jw brought another partner today.

Bebu..and to think that you never spent time on the theocratic ministry school....if you don't know what that is....don't worry

Very nice work

This point

They mentioned unity (uniformity) as evidence of their religion's truth.

When you get into the Proclaimers book you can exploit this by asking if they are United in true worship what are they United in when they are or have been teaching things that are false...as the Proclaimers book highlights so well?

Lots of things are going wrong...

i'm going through a time when so many things seem to be going wrong.. doesn't it seem as though it never rains, it pours?.

i know the skeptics will roll their eyes at this suggestion: i think that sometimes things happen this way for a reason, and that when we successfully get through it, we are so much stronger.. what do you think about the idea that trials sometimes come along for a reason?.

sirona (of the "searching for a reason" class)

Well you've certainly had lots on your mind Sirona so the stress at work is not too surprising...yet once again your strength is fantastic...here's to a brew and hoping that the doctors get back to you soon with good news.

How much would you say the average JW donates in $$$ ?????

by run dont walk in

regarding donations, what would you say the average jw would donate in $$$ in a one year span.. some are richer then others, some have no children, some have 6 children, i imagine it would vary quite a bit.. so what would be a fair average, $1,000 / year per person ?????.

now when i say donation, i mean every dollar a person gives, this would include contribution boxes in the hall, assemblies, etc, donations for magazines, books, videos etc, every possible thing one would donate money to the watchtower for.. if $1000 a person is a fair number, then multiply it by 6,000,000.

= $ 6 billion dollars a year, nice scam watchtower.

Unbelieveable

When it was time to count the money there were two pennies in the contribution box.

That freakin widow shows up twice in two thousand years just to get her two cents in...some people.

Joining School Board - Will I get DF'd?

by confusedjw in

i was asked to fill in on our local school board as an elected board member could not finish their turn.

i thought about for a day and decided to do it.

it requires that you are a registered voter, at least in our town, which i am.

shotgun

confusedjw...its always bugged me that we are not allowed to get involved in all the things which affect our lives so much...good on ya for trying.

If the elders call on you explain that you thought it was a conscience matter and that you tearfully took the matter to Jehovah in prayer and even fasted for forty days...ok so it was the Atkins diet but it was hell GDamnit.

Scully

Of course, that was a lie. The story is now that he was observed by Two Eyewitnesses™ whilst engaged in Unchristian Conduct™

I feel alot of remorse for turning in Mr Scully, but when he showed up in a thong and sang Happy Birthday Mr President at a company function he left me no choice...btw tell him aqua really is his colour.

SOJ..those are low numbers...they must give alot of local needs talks about giving from the heart and doing all that you can in your cong.

I looked after accounts in three different Congregations as an MS and on average donations to maintaining the hall usually slightly exceeded donations to the society at the end of the year only because of Tax write off donations in December.

Many publishers gave nothing and older ones and Business owners made the difference by regularly dropping cheques in the contribution boxes.

In the three congregations it ranged from 75 to 100 publishers with monthly donations of $400 to $600 for the WWW and around the same for KH maintenance...except December when it would double or triple.

Stop picking at AFIN..he's right about the WT

Could it be the left hand knows not what the right hand is doing, let alone the likes of you?

They even take it a step further by using a mbidextrous researchers and writers at the WTBTS. They often find new light on the next page not realizing they wrote it...praise Jah you people!
