I would make sure everyone in her hall knows what has happened and how she was treated and why she is being DF'd. It might stop some of them from shunning and may get some of them thinking...

Pioneering
by Sabin ini`ve heard many pioneers claim that they are deserving of material things because they are the ones who make all the sacrifices.
one claimed that jehovah had made sure that she got absolutely everything she wanted right down to shelfs so she could put up pic`s of her family because, to quote "we are so deserving, we`ve made the sacrifice".
mind you this is the same sister who told me "it`s harder for me having my son d.fs than for a mother loosing her child in death".

I remember being nagged by a pioneer couple for money every meeting and if not nagging then it was guilt tripping and sometimes even directly asking me how much I earnt!
Strange though, the wife had a thing about cath kidson and their house was full of cath kidson stuff? ( for those that don't know, cath kidson - very pricey designer homewards)

How to give an anti witness on the ministry?
by purrpurr ini haven't turned in a report for months now.
but if the elders start on me to go back out in the ministry i was thinking of giving an anti witness instead.
by which i mean rather than the mags i could tell the house holder about the "loving provision of disfellowshipping" or maybe read them some of the many scriptures were god tells his people to commit ethnic cleansing, total genocide and raping of the captured girls.

And lastly what about that oh so encouraging scripture in revelation were it paints a graphic picture of the dead bodies laying everywhere after Armageddon and the birds pecking their eyeballs out?
Over to you, what suggestions do you have for an anti witness?

How does God measure up to the definition of love at 1st Corinthians?
by purrpurr inwe all know the famous scripture of 13:4-8. the wt uses it to show how jw's ought to behave and think.
it's like a golden standard.. but i was thinking, how does god himself measure up to this standard?
in the bible it clearly states that god is jealous.

But I was thinking, how does God himself measure up to this standard? In the bible it clearly states that God is jealous. What about bragging? Getting "puffed up?" Easily become provoked? Keep account of injury?
I believe (especially in the old testament) that God does not exhibit any of these qualities at all.
What do you think?

If jw's obeyed all of the bible commandments what would they be like?
by purrpurr inthe jw's cite abstaining from blood along with other cherry picked commandments.
but then ignore the others.
this is very hippocritical and if they are going to obey one commandment they should be obeying the rest.. just as a bit of fun then... what would jw's be like if they obeyed every rule in the bible?.

Here's my contribution: they would have to wear no mixed fabrics ( no cheap polyester& wool suits)
No working on the Sabbath ( Saturday)
Do not envy another's property ( no more " I'll have that big house when it's owner is killed at Armageddon)
Make no image of God ( so alot of revising would need to be done with their illustrations)
And lastly do not lie ( a commandment which a certain GB member has just broken at the RC)
Over to you guys now...

it was brought to my notice that out of the four different versions of jesus resurrection they do not back each other up.
instead they contradict each other a lot.

I've been reading more and studying about the bible . it was brought to my notice that out of the four different versions of Jesus resurrection they do not back each other up. Instead they contradict each other a lot. Some could even be a completely different story!
For instance in one account Mary goes to hug Jesus but he tell her not to because he has yet to asend to his father... Yet in another version he allows the two women who find him to hold his feet?
The versions differ as to by who and how his tomb was found and by how many people. Right up until Paul who says that Jesus was seen first by Cephas, then by the 12 and then by 500 people!
The society likes to say that these differing views are to be expected and actually back each other up! But there is no way that this is true?!

Today's WT glancing at the opposite sex is flirting and therefore immortality
by purrpurr inin today's wt study it makes the point that just glancing at the opposite sex is flirting and can lead to sex!.
so are jw's now to wear blinkers?.
also jw's are told to go and confess to the elders if they have any immoral thoughts?!!.

What's more it was a very slow death. Often lasting for several days. In contrast to jesus's death which happened in a matter of hours.
I notice neither of these facts are ever in the WT!
