It's generally pointless as the majority will win out. I tried to reason against a major expenditure that was circuit wide, but got shot down in flames. I also know of an elder that produced a list of questions at a CIRCUIT elders meeting, complete with financial figures outlining the reasons against what was being proposed. He was right. But outvoted. Majority vote wins. Unity for all YAY!

Scriptural Basis for Obedience to GB?
by mrhhome ini have a genuine question for the jw apologist.
.
what is your scriptural justification for your unquestioning obedience to the governing body and your unwillingness to question their intepretation of scripture?.

If there was to be no hierarchy or authority then how do we understand all the requirements for overseers in paul's letters? Hebrews 13 says about being obedient to THOSE taking the lead , to me that indicates more than one, and the fact that they have to render an account implies humans in positions of authority . Sorry to nitpick , I agree with all your other points !

How many active JW's use this forum as a source of information?
by LogCon inthe numerous comments and experiences from this sites contributing posters add a real flavour to a persons overall knowledge of the society, both present day and historically.
i can well see how even many, many dyed in the wool witnesses skim or even study this site.
if i was still attending and seriously supporting the society, i would be fascinated to read these comments.

"You should grow a beard if you're a man of God (slam)!!!"
by SonoftheTrinity inif jehovah's witnesses are taught the "truth" that people are afraid of men with beards, wouldn't sending them the vibe that clean shaven men are creepy, as indeed they are in some localities on some faces be the best favor you could do them.
imagine if every trinitarian christian told them the same thing instead of engaging in a conversation with them.
in the part of california where i live them telling me that beards are threatening to some people is like those hipsters who attend the "no pants subway ride" on the subway in the middle of winter and then say that it just felt too warm today to be wearing pants.

Good link that snare, cheers! Thought about you the other night, I sniggered halfway through the song, 'Satan's snares', the missus poked me wanting to know what was funny, needless to say I didn't tell her....

They are DEFINITELY on trend right now, beards everywhere, (UK) but if that continued then you KNOW what they'd say.... "why would we want to follow WORLDLY trends and fads and associate ourselves with this satanic world?" Come to my assembly dude, you won't be the only hairy feller there.
