  Help With Legal Project - Children in Judicial Meetings

  by berrygerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  an acquaintance in canada is making a serious attempt at ending children being forced, or coerced, to attend a judicial meeting.. are there any here who had to attend such a meeting, and would be willing to contribute their feelings?.

  likewise, any who were baptized as minors, but felt later that at the time of their baptism, they were not old enough to have made that decision..

  The walkout is already happening, a young JW I've known since birth just left her parents when they were out of town.

  She was the last person that I would have expected.

  The concern is the amount of mental/emotional damage that is being done, whether they eventually leave or not.

  Gosh, guys.

  My dad would mock all of you.

  He had a Grade VI education and was anal about grammar - caught every little thing.

  He would read the dictionary (as does my 11-year old ????) - who does that?

  Anyways, 2 points. The book of Psalms does NOT have chapters, so saying Psalms chapter 6 is wrong. It would be the same as saying "Let's stand and sing Song chapter 6."

  Likewise, we are usually referring to one Psalm at a time.

  For several years, the WT articles have spelled Psalm, instead of abbreviating it, to try and help pronunciation.

  The new NWT is done correctly.

  If there is 1 Psalm on a page, it says Psalm at the top.

  If there is more than 1 Psalm on a page, it says Psalms.

  Jehovah's Witnesses's Matthew 24:14 Good News of the Kingdom.. A different Good News Galatians 1:9

  by objectivetruth in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah' witnesses use matthew 24:14, and their world wide preaching work, as proof, that they are the only "organization" that is doing jehovah's will.. what if the good news that they are preaching is a false good news or as paul would call it "a different good news"?

  is there any value to a world wide preaching work, that is preaching a false good news?

  or should that entire work be accursed?.

  i'm extremely neutral in our house, so it's not my influence - honest!.

  my 11-year old is light-years advanced with his intelligence and humour.. he's going around the house singing "listen, obey, and be castrated.".

  was not impressed.. pretty hard to contain my laughter..

  i have just read on another post that those brothers and sisters manning the cult carts are meant to be fully suited and booted, i have seen the brothers wearing jumpers instead of jackets.

  is the dress code monitored?.

  Limeys tend to smile when they hear the need of a "tow truck" (mind thinks toe truck).
