if a jw gets drunk on an occasion, he could get a pass if it was in private, if however in public there's a much greater chance of disfellowshipping as the sin has now "maligned the reputation of the congregation".

I wonder how the above situation is being handled vis a vis the reputation of the worldwide jw community?
do i have to believe in jesus to be saved?.
i was raised as a jehovah's witness.
i was born in.
I see there being "evidence based reasoning" and "faith based reasoning"
Examining evidence and it's various interpretations requires work,
Then there's Jesus saying "happy you are believing when you did NOT see"
Welcome to Faith Based Reasoning,
i finally stopped attending the meetings about 4 months go.
i won't be going back - ever.. but i've decided the best reply to the watchtower is to be happy and i do try to be happy every day even thought i wasted my entire life on this religion.
i cherish every day, practice mindfulness and do my best to be content with the life i have.. it is only now that i see that most jws i know are deeply unhappy people.
For the first time in many years you're enjoying a measure of peace, good for you, you've earned it!

I'll bet you didn't know that they were brothers...
what would happen when the man on the picture below, would ring the bell at 1. kings drive in texudo.
" the guard asked with a routine smile on his face.
"maybe i can help you, i presume?
May we see a sign?
most jws i know claim they are happy being in the great crowd.
they'd rather live on a paradise earth and pet lions than go to heaven.. heaven is a place they can't relate to, a place where they don't expect their friends and loved ones to be.. so why are more and more jws claiming to be of the anointed?.
aren't they looked down upon as if they are crazy, proud, ignorant, or engaging in apostate thinking?.
Seriously, because they're BORED!! Woman can join men, both can feel SPECIAL and NOBODY can stop them!!

i loved going out in service, i would empty my book bag out on the counter at the laundromat, walk out and go get a doughnut, i had a lot of hours and placements on my time card.
i really hated talking to people, the anxiety was too much for me to handle, good thing my service partner felt the same way..
scratchme1010:
Could make "private arrangements" We used to Court™ this way :)
we all know that the governing body claim to be "god's representatives" and the "faithful and discreet slave" that dispenses spiritual food..... but where is the proof?.
according to the bible (if we just for a moment take it as a reliable source), all of god's representatives in the past furnished proof of their appointment - not just self referential claims or statements.. for instance, moses and aaron performed miracles before pharaoh (such as the snake staffs.).
other prophets performed signs and miracles such as making the sun stand still, healing sick people, making walls fall down, etc etc.... even jesus performed miracles as proof of his divine appointment!.
Then there will be Historical Revision IE: CT Russell is no longer FDS, Everyone does realize they're making this stuff up as they go along right? And why?..Because they can,
