For that matter, why were all the animals killed in nations that the Israelites defeated?
Why slay man, woman, child, and all beasts?
it's not as if the sheep was trying to seduce the shepherd, the poor creature was violated.
we have come a long way from those days, thank goodness.
so why slay the sheep or beast?????

i would love to know the stats of how many hours were spent, standing by a cart, or sitting at a local town fair with jw table tent set up, compared to the number of bible studies started that led to baptism since the inception of the carts.
anyone have any idea?
if i had to guess i would say thousands of hours pent standing by a cart, and maybe less then 5 that actually got baptized.
The illustration has often been used by witnesses and the society of warning a person in a burning house to "get out"
Would we warn that person of the danger and his impending death by sitting under a tree in a nice park with a small sign?
Or....?

If the time is so URGENT, and lives are at stake, then why is the ministry and cart work so PASSIVE??
It is almost as if the witnesses WANT people to miss out and DIE!
in their sick and twisted bubble that they live in, the jehovahs witnesses clearly have no idea about the logistical nightmare of disposing of 7.5 billion corpses.. when i heard an elder once say that it will be a joy to clear away the wicked from the earth, he actually had a smile on his face.. can they even begin to imagine what 7.5 billion dead men, women, children & babies looks like?.
"let the eye feel no sorrow".
sick bastards..
What a "joy" it will be to gather up the bodies of those babies and little toddlers who are destroyed because their parents didn't accept witness literature!
Witnesses can be "ever joyful" and partake in the "happyfying assignment" of digging cute burial plots for those tiny "WICKED EVIL" children!
well how's it going round your way?
massive increase of interested ones?
did you even know it was supposed to be happening?
These campaigns are designed to keep witnesses busy in a "super important work"
Just like running on a treadmill......Lots of energy expended - but one gets no-where quickly!
how many of you know about this san diego mansion?
i just found out about it recently.
apparently it was built for old testament faithful men to live in upon resurrection in 1925 such as abraham, moses etc.
The most disturbing part about the whole thing is the lack of honesty and transparency by the society to the general flock!
If one looks at the Proclaimers book, Beth-Sarim is given just a brief mention only!
If they were and said "we messed up. We were wrong" it would be a gesture of humility!
study edition.

(can someone put up a link please?).
So, we are assuming that they will need to camp overnight?
If so, that brother should be counselled for "staying overnight with sisters to whom he is not married!"
Bring on the Judicial Committee!
i know only adultery is supposed to be grounds for "scriptural" divorce.
i'm a wicked apostate in their eyes, but my believing husband and i still can't get a divorce that would allow him to remarry.
we currently are separated - i have left him.
I know of a case where a sister and her husband (not a witness) got divorced. However, they were still friends due to their child. Neither of them remarried
Once when he was between houses, she offered for him to stay in her home with their child for a few weeks.
She was brought before a Judicial committee for "having a male to whom she was not married" stay in the house with her!
Seriously!

Yes, this is one of those "what the hell?!" topics that blows the minds of witnesses and those trying to fade!
Sadly, there are MANY similarly disturbing topics and issues!>
Beth-Sarim is just the tip of the iceburg!
i have never understood this.
was it because of legal reasons?
i cant think of any other reason why it wouldn't be allowed, but i know the elders ask you repeatedly that you are not taping.
As blondie pointed out, the bible history shows that all "judicial" meetings were held in public in the city gates so that all witnesses could be present!
That served as a restraint for inappropriate conduct, and a witness so that there could never be any doubt as to what occurred!
But, why would the society allow bible precedence to dictate current procedures!
