now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
but all the women children that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.. *sigh*.
it's not that i haven't seen this passage before.
Yes!
When we start seeing these accounts as they truly are: Disturbing and Disgusting, there is simply no excusing it!
If someone acted like that today, witnesses would rightly condemn him...so why not then?
After all, isn't there a scripture that says "Jehovah is the same always. He never changes"?
Hmmm....
imagine noting the not at homes down in this village.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/fucking%2c_austria?wprov=sfla1.
If there is a large group of people in that Scottish town, it would be a "lot of Twatts!"
well beards are still a no no!!!!!!.
in a new letter from the branch/gb nut's, beards are not acceptable in the us branch area!!!!!!.
my eldub brother in law, shared this today.
Seriously, this is just like the scribes and pharasees...."making endless rules" and "binding heavy loads on the shoulders of men"
WAKE UP witnesses! This kind of inappropriate control over personal choices is a sure sign OF A CULT!
from an article in the herald sun newspaper wed.dec.7,2016 ," a convicted perverts plan to open a childcare centre have been given the green light by the victorian civil and administration tribunal".
" he was found guilty of wilfully and obscenely exposing himself on five seperate occasions between 1982 and 1997.".
apparently" he masturbated in front of two 16 year old school girls asking them if they had a good look and if they enjoyed that.".
As the ARC said : This shows a lack of understanding of the nature of ones who offend"
I would like everyone to be given the benefit of the doubt, and the chance to change...but to do so with caution. Not to allow him to open a CHILD CARE centre for freaks sake!
well beards are still a no no!!!!!!.

It is almost as if they were testing out the waters to find any rebellious ones when that article came out! Those that were "potentially rebellious" would grow a beard, and then they could be spotted easily and targeted!

Oh wow!
Can you provide a link or scan of the letter?
many of you may remember the july, 2011 study edition watchtower magazine which stated that, "apostates are mentally diseased" ( http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2011524?q=mentally+diseased&p=par ).
to jehovah's witnesses, anyone who leaves "the truth" is an apostate.
the funny thing is that logically, anyone who teaches false doctrines is also an apostate.. according to the watchtower, anyone who listens to false teachers also classify as apostates (see http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200000309?q=false+teachers&p=par ).
Yup. Good thread.
Deut 18:22 "If a someone speaks in "gods name" and it does not come to pass, then reject that one as they are NOT speaking for God!"
that's a comment i heard from an elder i haven't seen in over a decade, yesterday.
i mentioned it all on my other thread.
i responded that i knew of no one that was crawling back to the meetings and gave him an incredulous hearty chuckle.
Why people would want to crawl back into an abusive situation is beyond belief.
It is just the same as a domestic abuse situation. Once someone gets out, why would they want to go back? Only if they are so downtrodden that they think that is the "best I will ever deserve".
Sad...sad
my sarcasm will get me df'd one day.
after being disgusted by the bs of the sunday meeting, i chatted with one inactive brother came back for that one meeting.
i can't exactly remember how it came up, but he told me and a sister whose a close friend of mine that she shouldn't be so uptight, we're no longer under the mosaic law.
So in two adjoining verses, the Mosaic law condemns Tattoos and Shaving a mans beard off. But of course, the Society only applies the Tattoo part...and completely disregards the Shaving off the beard part!
Leviticus 19:27-29
i disassociated myself 3 years ago but have never told my mother, as she lives quite a distance from me in the uk.
i've have told her that i no longer go to meetings, neither does my son, who is 16.. i haven't seen her for 3 1/2 years.
i offered to come visit this week but she was incredibly offhand with me and said she couldn't meet with me today as she was on the ministry!!
Hi.
sorry to hear you are going through this. It's actions like this that confirm that they are in a high control cult like group....nothing else explains such terrible behaviour.
Stay strong, and don't allow that situation to dictate how you feel.
