Im not making stuff up, my autism led me to make an error, in your opinion.
obviously we are using different sources to identify the recognised monthly wage in australia
which can be as high as $200 or low as $100 per day, depends how current your source is in an ever changing economy.
any how, does your not attacking my other figures suggest you might think i am correct ?
btw love the insults,,, i cant bother stooping to that ( now thats probably an insult...... must be the autism kicking in)
conversation with elder.. m why do fds feel the need to quote a plymouth brethren elder, and add to his quote to support a teaching point?.
e what are you talking about.
m vine,,, you know vines dictionary quote paragraph 10 for this weeks consideration,,, i'll show you .
Conversation with elder.
M Why do FDS feel the need to quote a Plymouth Brethren Elder, and add to his quote to support a teaching point?
E What are you talking about
M Vine,,, you know Vines Dictionary quote paragraph 10 for this weeks consideration,,, I'll show you
(grab the wt and point to said quote)
E Who told you that he was a P B E
M I researched it and wonder why this is needed given that he would be part of what is referred to as christendom.
I'm pretty sure the Plymouth Brethren wouldn't be quoting wt articles to their church regardless of any scholarly qualifications
E I wouldn't believe everything you read out there,,,,,,,, check the wt library to see if thats right,,,,,,as he walks away !
Now I'm no scholar but I'm not a dill. So, could someone on here provide a valid reason for this??
I have noticed that some on here are referred to as apologists, and, as I on other occasions couldn't get an answer for this question
from any elders, perhaps one of you may enlighten me or refer me to another post. Thank you

Jeffro, You are correct, your choice was not intentionally coincidental re notes and colour but it provided a vehicle for what I
found an interesting excercise in comparisons and I must agree that 500 francs is 1.4% of the minimum monthly wage in Togo,
you are right on the money there.
1.4% of the minimum monthly wage in Australia is $56 and a minimum wage earner here would need to work app 2.7 hrs to earn that.
In Togo a minimum wage earner would also work 2.7 hrs to earn 500 francs. Perhaps I'm getting a little pedantic
with regard to the dollar amount but many here in oz picked up on the "note" and hence my suggestion of a discreet envelope
in line with giving from the heart and not for the eye. Oh by the way a denarius is worth around $200 in todays values in Oz.
ps these little hints of contribution rate seem a little unnessesary when Australia Jw headquarters recieved $18,367,450 in contributions in 2011
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.
