  Hello Hortenzie, I wish you well with this, but I doubt you will see a penny. After all it was a 'voluntary contribution'. What may happen is that a letter maybe sent to the local conregation about your request and you may end up with more trouble than the donation was worth. Best to you...4thgen

  You could reply: "Well, if this is the last memorial, I guess they will be halting the buyilding program at Warwick. Have you heard anything about that?"

  I just watched this today. Very interesting take on religion and the internet, especially with reference to children and indoctrination.

  Why JW assemblies NEED to change

  by kneehighmiah in

  1. jw

  the assemblies would be get better results and get more people to come and be inspired if they were more encouraging.

  instead the assemblies are a giant guilt trip.

  don't go to college, don't get a good job, dont buy things even if you can afford them, don't play violent games, don't flirt.

  Yay! Apostates are no longer "mentally diseased!"

  by rory-ks in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  original nwt reads: "if any man teaches other doctrine and does not assent to healthful words, those of our lord jesus christ, nor to the teaching that accords with godly devotion, he is puffed up [with pride], not understanding anything, but being mentally diseased over questionings and debates about words.

  from these things spring envy, strife, abusive speeches, wicked suspicions...".

  2013 revision reads: "if any man teaches another doctrine and does not agree with the wholesome instruction, which is from our lord jesus christ, nor with the teaching that is in harmony with godly devotion,he is puffed up with pride and does not understand anything.

  I believe Barb Anderson was also part of the change. She wrote a very detailed and scathing letter about the term. Its published on this site. There will not be any retractions in the literature, Im sure. The damage is done and the seeds planted.

  1. working for a corporation in the city makes you fall out of the truth.. 2. if you become inactive or leave jehovah you will make your whole family sad and ruin everything.. 3. all worldly people cheat.. 4. all worldly people curse.. 5.

  So let me get this straight...it's an evil thing for a young man to get paid for working at an internet advertising agency; but it's Godly goal to work unpaid for an internet advertising agency that's named jw.org?
