  I can not agree more, the witness's have a very conditional friendship, if your in a witness family and they are good witness's you must know that it will be very conditional based on how loyal you are to a publishing company. If you do not want to accept a particular line of reasoning or a aspect of their teaching you will be "marked" by most of them, if not shunned by mostly all of them if you are babtized. So, its a good idea to have as many friends as you can everywhere and anywhere you can, cause if its up to the witness's they will get in a position where you only have them, and from that position they can choke the life out of you socialy and cause you to feel like your not worthy unless you get on your knees and come crawling to them begging. Who wants to go through that, not me.

  Getting drunk a sin?

  by Coop Man in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have a pretty interesting perspective on this.....especially since i once had all of my privledges removed because i had admitted to an elder that i was hungover..... the scriptures state that drunkards will not inherit gods' kingdom, nor will gluttons.... gluttony is the practice of over-eating, much the same is being a drunkard is one who is continuously drunk.

  so, in my feeble mind, getting drunk "once-in-a-while" is not a sin, just the same as overeating at mcdonalds or at grandma's house is not a sin.. am i incorrect in my reasoning?.

  thanks to all participants.

  Yeah true, Renee Zellweger is a foxie thang, I like her dribbling way of talking while at the same time being quite smart. And she has nice legs and face hair LOL.

  I have a hard time blaming the Watchtower

  by spiritwalker in

  2. friends

  " if the watchtower said it, and the men on the platform preached it, then it must have been true.

  so it was very hard to accept as an adult, that they were wrong.

  i blame myself.

  Facial Hair and J.W.'s

  by Coop Man in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have always wondered why witnesses are not "allowed" to have facial hair.

  when i asked a local elder just a few weeks ago (he had no idea i was inactive, just happened to bump into him while my parents were visiting from out of town), his explanation was that "in some countries, it is totally acceptable to have beards, goatees etc...., but in the u.s. of a., facial hair is a sign of rebellion.

  so, the local or territorial opinions on beards is what drives the local congregations policies.

  They do a lot of double talk always have. They sent me a letter after I sent them one, saying its OK to wear a beard and do most anthing in the hall if its OK with the Elders. Get the point.
