dont let Freaky fool you, he simply took the fifth lest he incriminate himself! Today i learned that a church of Scotland minister over and above his house, his car and his normal salary, gets £34,000 pounds for visiting hospitals.
I told you that I have no denominational affiliation simply because... it's true!

my wife happens to be a 'packy', as in from Pakistan! and guess what, we dont have a liquor store, nor a hilux van, nor a corner shop, nor do we eat curries everyday.
I think the term 'packy' derived from the fact that the liquor was always 'packaged' for public transport. People were very concerned with appearances, it seems.

interesting reading was an article written by Bill Underwood for the news group, The Examiner. He wondered at the percentage of his donations that would reach the people in Haiti and did what all good investigative journalists would do, asked around. He phoned thirty churches in his Phoenix area. Here are his questions,

Im pretty sure that the JW arrogance which seems to far exceed that of the Pharisees, is a greater sin than a church official receiving a salary.
(Proverbs 9:7-9) . . .He that is correcting the ridiculer is taking to himself dishonor, and he that is giving a reproof to someone wicked—a defect in him. Do not reprove a ridiculer, that he may not hate you. Give a reproof to a wise person and he will love you. Give to a wise person and he will become still wiser. Impart knowledge to someone righteous and he will increase in learning.
Originally posted by Rajk999You say we're arrogant because we say we believe we have the truth? The Bible makes it very clear that not all who say they are favored and do God's will are. The Bible tells what the truths of the Bible are and what to do with them such as the COMMAND to preach and teach the message that Jesus TOLD his followers to do. A few religions send off some missionaries here and there for a little while and feel that's all that's needed. Some like yourself sit at home and do nothing but belly ache about anyone like the JW's who spend millions of hours out doing this work monthly from all it's members for FREE and all you can do is _ _ _ _ _ about it and play God with your condemnational speach. Who is being arrogant here?????? You know nothing!!!!!!!

Originally posted by robbie carrobieObviously the founder was not honest that is proven fact or should we say history.
that was not your point, you stated that the leaders of Jehovah Witnesses were greedy and corrupt.
The guy after the founder ran it like a dictatorship this is all History. That's when there was a split. I guess the modern day version is not quite the same but who cares.

Originally posted by galveston75So JW's hold all truth?? That is the epitome of arrogance!! There are Christians who give there very life's energy doing what Christ commanded and go out into the world and preach the Gospel. You speak arrogance for you know not what you are saying when you say "oh some religions send off missionaries for a while" You can barely distinguish between Catholic and Protestant and Cult for that matter. You say you follow Christ but you do not give Him the Glory He is due. I would not be a JW just because of your arrogance!! You will then say oh it's persecution or whatever.

Originally posted by menace71By the way you guys are breaking JW doctrine by being on the internet and discussing religious subjects with all of us non-believers. Your on the worldly internet associating with all of the people who are of Satan's world system. You better not let you elders or leaders find out they might disfellowship you.
