I wonder why not poor witness get money help of rich witness. In africa the poor have not food every day, and not bed, they sleep on floor ad litle animals go on they in night. And they preach very much. So they shoud get help from rich witness that use enormous money on holidays and things. It look like Jesus think about poor people when he was on earth.

 

  But Judas Is·carʹi·ot,+ one of his disciples, who was about to betray him, said:  “Why was this perfumed oil not sold for 300 de·narʹi·i* and given to the poor?” He said this, though, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief and had the money box and used to steal the money put in it.  Then Jesus said: “Let her alone, so that she may keep this observance in view of the day of my burial.+  For you always have the poor with you,+ but you will not always have me.”+

33  For Jehovah is listening to the poor,+And he will not despise his captive people.+

 
  The One securing justice for those defrauded,The One giving bread to the hungry.Jehovah is releasing the prisoners.
 
61The spirit of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah is upon me,Because Jehovah anointed me to declare good news to the meek.He sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,To proclaim liberty to the captivesAnd the wide opening of the eyes to the prisoners,

 

18  “Jehovah’s spirit is upon me, because he anointed me to declare good news to the poor. He sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send the crushed ones away free,

My job allowed a lot of international travel. I retired, but still get called back as a consultant once in a while. Also, something we, as a family, enjoyed doing for many years now, is stopping in to visit a local congregation on every vacation.  Hawaii, Costa Rica, Belize, Mazatlan, Oaxaca, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, etc, we look up some local congregation or Witnesses, and we know that a donation here goes a lot further than back home. (If you give $100 in some places it's like giving $2,000 in the USA.) Not everywhere is so poor, but we are going to Milan, Italy in a few weeks (in May) and it adds an interesting dimension to any visit to take some time away from the beaten tourists paths. It's amazing how quickly the roads from the coastal resorts turn to poverty just a few miles inland. So it also provides a perspective that no vacationer should miss.

    • Clearly, they are already demanding your exile. Yes! It's unfortunate that Pudgy spoiled a great discussion about science. I hope the discussion can continue without any more nonsensical interruptions. Just a suggestion since they are on your heels. Wow! You speak! It seems you have a lot to say! Now they are going to treat like, who do you think you are, mister big stuff! Are those aliens now going to imply that anyone who speaks out against the five or six key contributors to this site will be treated as though it is George just because those in opposition speak the language they hate to hear, the TRUTH? They are seeking individuals who will embrace their nonconformist values and appreciate what they can offer in shaping public opinion contrary to the established agenda of God and Christ. Their goal is to enhance their writing abilities and avoid squandering time on frivolous pursuits, mainly arguing about the truth they don't care for. They see it all as a mere game, even when leading people astray. They believe they have every right to and will face no biblical repercussions, or so they believe. They just want to have fun just like that Cyndi Lauper song. Be prepared to be belittled and ridiculed, all the while they claim to be angels. Haha! By the way, please refrain from using the same language as George. They appear to believe that when others use the same words, it means they are the same person, and they emphasize this as if no one else is allowed to use similar grammar. It seems they think only they have the right to use the same or similar writing styles. Quite amusing, isn't it? See, what I just placed in bold, now I'm George, lol! Now, let's leave this nice science thread for people that want to know more about science. I believe George left it at "Zero Distance."  
    • Nice little thread you’ve got going here, SciTech. It would be a shame if something were to happen to it.
    • It's truly disheartening when someone who is supposed to be a friend of the exclusive group resorts to using profanity in their comments, just like other members claiming to be witnesses. It's quite a ludicrous situation for the public to witness.  Yet, the "defense" of such a person, continues. 
    • No. However, I would appreciate if you do not reveal to all and sundry the secret meeting place of the closed club. (I do feel someone bad stomping on Sci’s little thread. But I see that has already happened.)

      Hello, Darlene, I just love your name, I had a cousin named Darline, and had a classmate also named Darlene! It's a pleasure to know another Darlene! Especially a Spiritual Sister! There's some websites, Ministry Ideaz , JW Stuff.com, and Etsy that I use to order my yearly buttons for the Conventions! They always send me what I order, and their also Jehovah's Witnesses, that send us the merchandise we order!  You can check out these websites, and they might have what your looking for! I hope I have been helpful in assisting you, Darlene! Agape love, Shirley!😀
