  Elder On Tablet During Prayer

  by jw07 in

  during a prayer in the kh all our eyes are supposed to be closed, right?

  i've never been one to fully my eyes during prayers.

  i'll close them down, but just enough that i can still peep around at what's happening without being noticed.. there's something i've noticed a certain elder doing for the second time now.

  Bowed head and closed eyes not required but most do it as a sign of humility/respect. Attendants are to remain alert at all times even during prayer. This is emphasized more at larger gatherings like memorial and assemblies. There is a recent article dealing with some of this especially the hugging and holding of hands during prayer. I haven't read it just heard about it on a previous post and looked up the image in the article.

  The kh fund was and still is presented as there to build khs for more needy congs. But the truth is all congs have to pay for their khs. Does anyone actually know of a kh built for a group of JWs for free? Just the opposite, some still don't have a kh or ah even after getting the $$$ in advance.

  Now after scraping all kh accounts the're grooming the dubs that they might get a remodel or new kh "if the brothers can afford it...???"

  this is one major reason why i dont try to wake up anyone anymore.

  they need to take the first step, and then i will help---- if they ask.

  otherwise i just listen and marvel at how some of them think.

  EXTREME HYPOCRISY in this Sunday's study article!!!

  wow, what a disturbing study article this was!

  this was by far the most difficult study that i ever had to sit through.

  just take a look at what the article has to say about how blood should be viewed according to our conscience:.

  When ever they say it is a conscience manner their just giving their members the illusion of making their own decisions when in fact they have been programmed to follow unwritten rules. If not followed they will be marked as weak ones in the congregation and will be dealt with accordingly.

  No longer qualifies to share in the ministry?

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  2. beliefs

  i heard that co's were provided with a talk outline in which people who dress and act too "gay" could eventually "no longer qualify to share in the ministry", should they not change the way they look!.

  has anyone else ever heard of any other reason for which someone would be disqualified from the ministry?.

  We had a couple who were DF'ed over 2 years and not only continued their FM but also brought their studies to the meetings, reported time also. We were told by the CO that we could take away their privileges and shun them but we could not interfere with their FS since that was their obligation before J especially if they were seeking reinstatement.

  Where does the Society stand on Uniformitarianism?

  my dad doesn't like the fact that i've come to accept the theory of evolution.

  he always accuses me of unquestioningly "buying into" what scientists say and says i don't apply critical thinking to the problem.

  so now i've decided to tackle his claim at the roots.

  If the physics of the earth was completely different before the flood then we have 400k of ice core data that was built up in the last 4k years since supposedly it didn't exist before the flood. That is one hell of an ice age... ?
