  Welcome Nuge! As for your uncle, the hell with him, let him be - you know the saying, "sleep with dogs, wake up with flees." Let all the hypocrites itch together!

  Massive donations to the WTS

  by greendawn in

  2. friends

  have any of you or people that you know such as relatives or friends, made a very significant donation to the wts?

  by that i mean property, or money in excess of let's say $10 000. .

  enriching an already very rich organisation has to be moronic, they are the ones that should be helping the poor among them the proverbial orphans and widows.

  I had my will notarized a few months ago. I'm leaving the WTS the following:

  2 aged water pipes, 7 pairs of used shoes, a half dozen rolls of toilet paper (individually wrapped), and 2 worn copies of 'On the Road'. Nothing more, nothing less. The will states that the package should be sent by express mail.

  How to fluster a JW at your door

  by arker in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my dad put up with a lot of crap from the jw's when my mom divorced him and took us kids away.

  so when he got the chance he would mess with them at the door.

  my favorite question he asked 2 sisters when they came.. "if the bible says a wife is to give her husband his due, then do you have relations with your husband because you love him or because the bible says to?".

  The Word says that "all things are holy, to those who are holy." So... why did the WTS consider oral sex porneia - fornication? Who is the WTS to tell members what is, and what isn't holy?

  The Word says, "don't go beyond the things written." So.. why does the WTS play prophet when they have been wrong so many times? Did they learn anything from a 100+ years of lies and false predictions?

  how can a christian love their neighbor as themself, if they don't love themselves?

  if a christian hates himself, how can he love his neighbor?

  if a christian treats himself poorly, how can he treat his neighbor well?

  unique1-

  Isn't it time to get to know your neighbors? Open up and let the love flow! It starts with a smile, a kind word, and grows from there. We were so jaded by these false prophets. We are part of this world; if there is a lack of love, it's because we don't love enough. It starts with me.

  Narkissos - yes, taken for granted in the ancient world. But once we have been in and through the J.W. concentration camps, nothing can be taken for granted.

  Rub a Dub-

  What did the "reproof" consist of? Did you learn anything? Did you bring "your neighbor" into the troof?

  Great replies!

  Yes, as a pioneer I would do 120, 130, 140, even once 150 hours a month in the worst of conditions, inner city, no car, little money (window washing and floor cleaning) and would tell all - "I love my neighbor." I wouldn't treat a dog the way I treated myself. So how could I love my neighbor?
