The Society has no right to "define the resurrection." These evil bastards send people to a guilt ridden lonely death, and then judges them unworthy of a memorial service, or a resurrection. Woe unto you Scribes and Pharisees! Judas repented, but these bastards won't. Sodom will be declared righteous, but the WTS will not.

WTS Will Stop Charging Interest on Loans
by doinmypart inthe org will stop charging interest on kh building fund loans effective sep 1, 2008. current loan payment amounts will remain the same so the loans can be paid off sooner.. congregations should continue to donate to the kh building fund, and publishers can donate directly to the fund by sending donations directly to the branch.
congregations are encouraged to forward surplus congregation and operating funds to the branch until the time those funds are needed by the congregation (this was actually read to the congregation...talk about full disclosure).. this is for all branches and congregations, not just the u.s..

Hell, no more interest being charged - maybe I'll call Crooklyn and ask about applying for a loan....
Farkel- loved those revelations.

Without a badge they keep a very close eye on one. I had to use the washroom to mix my drinks. Seems like I was followed most of the time. Things went well until the bag of ice began leaking. On my way out I asked why they didn't sell coolers.

Donation of the first born on odd numbered years, (tithing * 2) on even numbered years, donate all to the WTS on apaocalyptic years, and don't forget "give with a cheerful heart."
Murderers, liars, false prophets, and thieves - can we add greedy?

High gas prices finally changing North American vehicle attitudes
by Simon inwhen i read that the ford f-150 is the best selling vehicle in america i wrongly assumed that it was just the best selling truck.
but no, it has been the best selling vehicle for the last 17 years!
if that is the best selling you can be sure that there are plenty of similar models from different manufacturers being bought as well.. they are huge, fuel-inefficient things and i seriously doubt that even 90% of the people who buy them really need them.

Thursday night in Toronto the Portugese community went wild in their vehicles, riding the streets beeping horms and screaming. This went on for hours. It didn't appear that gas was 5+ bucks a gallon, or there was a shortage. There was no concern. Hey, their team won. That is enough reason to waste gas and pollute the air. So much for change.

Did GOD become a Man?
by UnDisfellowshipped indid god become a man?.
some 2,013 years ago, a baby boy was born in a small town in the middle east, and he grew up and lived around 30 years before being put to death.
today, two millenniums later, over 2 billion people claim to follow that man, and they claim that this man lives, even though he died!.

I have spent the last few weeks speaking with friends about this subject. That was after I read 1 Tim 3:16 and it no longer read the way I had read it for 35 years. Then I heard Thomas speak, and those words were no longer the same. The word "trinity" is what people describe and diatribe, that is a man's word. God is so much bigger! It's amazing when we do not put God in a box.

Yes. "God manifest Himself in the flesh." He is my Lord, and my God. Took years to get to this point in my thoughts and worship.

Will there ever be another Raymond Franz type Governing Body apostate?

No one like Ray, but I can see one or two of them going looney, real nuts, swinging from poles, and needing sedation. It's a short matter of time before the shop will need to fold up, and the pressure will come down on the mad ones. Any day, one or two will become beserk and believe they are God. That is when the ether bottle comes in, and replaces the brandy. These are just men, faced with a crumbling tower. It's their fault! They have blood guilt on hands and face! Yes, real mad, real soon. Teddy, Teddy, you're guilty already!
