Here's one: A JW cannot lie ' Liars are subject to the "second death". But if you "lie" for the interests of the Organization, suddenly it's not a "lie" after all! Why? Because the opposers are not "entitled" to know. So it's ok....... Any others that you can think of???

minimus,
when I first started a "book study" I happily pulled out an old bible that Pastor Terry Winter had been giving away free. This was ok, for the first study. Then the next study, for ease of understanding, I dug out my old 1961 NWT. Well... that was whisked out of my hands and I was presented with a "new" NWT quicker than you can say "old light".
All this before I even knew about all the lies!
Is this a double standard? Or just a funny story?

Christian wife could put up a Christmas tree if unbelieving husband says so but if unbelieving wife and kids wanted it, and he did it, he'd be df'd for apostasy.

Everyone else is f*cked...

Of course I'm teasing you. It was just the 1st time you didn't answer in the weird fashion you're known for. Welcome to the forum, myelaine.

Advanced Education is ONLY for those who will use it to support their pioneering..
Those who don't want to pioneer...it's dipsh*t central for you.
