something the cobe said that bugged me and i couldn't get it out of my head for a long time.
i was an obedient good little jw.
nothing special, but i did what i could.
Yep Oneoutallout, any organisation you join has rules and they're entitled to that.
Trouble starts when the d..k.heds that oversee them dont even know them, meanwhile, full of self importance
they blab away totally oblivious of the damage they wreak.
Those crazy moments do return but they will soften in time.
Make the best of every test and set yourself free.
god ordered the killing of men women and children and animals and pillaging of various nations around them.
in some instances god apparently led the way with his might arm.. this is not a question of wether it is right or wrong, but moreso a question(s) of:.
1. if you were there would you have personally participated in those killings or would you ignore the commands?.
hey adamah, I'm sorry for inadvertantly comforting you, I certainly didn't intend to.
I was simply clarifying the original question that I was answering
that i think you may have missed the import of.
You wanna start another topic about abe etc go and ask another question
Hey and anyway, no need to slag off at me for what you think are my thoughts in general.

Well adamah,
I hope your not referring to the mindless mob I've just become a proud member of. (12 posts)
My answer is obviously in the time referred to in the question.
Obviously you'd have rocks in ya head if you voted in the affirmative in 2013 AD.
but god has changed his mind?
according to the bible god can and does change his mind.
the example of jonah comes to mind.
You know, some of the older ex and current jws in the world and on this site do often shake their heads
in honest recognition of the errors that have been made.
Living in denial gets you nowhere,,, speaking from experience.
I reckon Pastor Dylan sums it up to my way of thinking.
"you gonna have to serve somebody" and we all do in some way shape or form.
P.S. Comatose, go easy on me mate will ya!!!!! Would have been a good cruise if they didnt chuck him overboard !

well, Comatose and tec have pretty much outlined the two options (that I agree with) based on which mindset you
use. Its really a yes or no answer I suppose. Roll up and put your fifty down !!!!
by the way, what does Syl mean?

Well now,
if the accounts are accurate and if i was there , unashamedly yes. If I would not then a sword would possibly have been run through me !!!
It is all about survival based on current understanding,,,, cant find my smileys ggrrrrrr!!!

I wish i could agree Jeffro, that there is no basic meaning that will subliminally instruct readers unfamiliar with
the currency depicted to donate a particular amount. And it is true and obvious that notes are preferred to coins as they were in Jesus' day .
However, the lowest denomination note with a yellow tinge in Ewe speaking countries is 500 francs. Given the average wage over there pays approximately 182 francs per hour, that represents app.2.8 hours work. compare that to average wages in western countries and you'll find that equals around $75,, still representative of a large amount.
does anyone know where there might be a link to an english watchtower library 2013?
i don't know why i download an illegal copy every year - probably so i can take the mick...... all i can find is an italian version - the only italian i can speak is on the menu at our local restaurant......
Havent been released yet outinthemeadows, only the 2012 version is extant at this time.
Oh ha ha Italian ??? probably got leaked out of the Bethel in Italy, apparently they
are in need of first aid as i understand. there's threads elsewhere about the alleged dilemma in Italy.

Yes Julia Orwell, I would have thought an envelope would have been more in line with not displaying showy means etc etc.
However, sadly, I did in fact check american, mexican, japanese, russian, arabic, german, and even humble little ol Myanmar,,,,
they've all got the same pic.
On another note, congs in oz have this week voted on constitutions individually so they qualify for "charitable organisation" benefits.
A couple of politicians have been lobbying for changes in the tax laws to catch out the churches of Scientology and Jehovahs Witnesses
as the politicians don't reckon they contribute to society due to their "extreme" practices.
As you say Phizzy, two Leptons should be heaps.
