KM, Nov 1999:
"Having association via the Internet may not be consistent with the recommendation found at Ephesians 5:15-17. The apostle Paul wrote: “Keep strict watch that how you walk is not as unwise but as wise persons, buying out the opportune time for yourselves, because the days are wicked. On this account cease becoming unreasonable, but go on perceiving what the will of Jehovah is.”

you know how our minds often get all "fuzzy" and confused when we are put on the spot and asked to come up with points?
we often tend to lose focus and go off on tangents?.
im trying to compile a basic list of bullet points for the most obvious and clear problems / doctrines / history of witnesses that can blow the org out of the water.. it is more for the purpose of getting my own thoughts clear rather than using it to talk to witnesses (as that doesn't really work).
Judicial committee unscriptural. Jesus said the entire congregation should be involed, but then only as a last resort. see Matthew 18:.
(“If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just
between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over.
16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that
‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three
witnesses.’ 17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church;
and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would
a pagan or a tax collector.)
in addition to the above question, why do citizens of the two above mentioned countries, or other countries, feel the necessity to tell americans how they should interpret the american constitution for localized issues?.
i fairly much have an idea what the general population in the usa feels in regards to the first question.
this could be one of the possible reasons cnn piers morgan poor ratings and eventual firing.
I'm British and I love guns.
However, I'm also totally convinced that I'm the only non-military person on this sceptered isle that should be allowed to own one.
back in the day, if someone was put on probation for an offence, rather than being disfellowshipped, if he re-offended whilst that probation was in force, disfellowshipping was automatic.
normally a probation lasted 12 months.
after the probation was finished that was it.
Back in the day, if someone was put on probation for an offence, rather than being disfellowshipped, if he re-offended whilst that probation was in force, disfellowshipping was automatic. Normally a probation lasted 12 months. After the probation was finished that was it. Privileges were restored. If he reoffended again, the earlier offence didn't count for anything. I know all this because I was involved in a matter where all of this occurred and the society were contacted so that everything was handled in line with current thinking.
I'm curious to learn of the procedure these days for someone who who has confessed to an offence, been placed on restrictions, but then has offended again whilst the restrictions are in force. Will he be automatically disfellowshipped?
how many were brought in the infamous back room?
Got done for loving my neighbour.
In several places...
i've managed several thousand employees in the last decade.
i've had a handful that identified themselves as witnesses.
from experience, they were no different than any other employees.
We had a bro in the next congregation who would only hire JW's. Contrary to what most expected they didn't sing Kingdom melodies all day. He had around 50 employees, some part time, and most of the local pioneers worked for him. Most of the work was of the menial variety, packing postage stamps for philatelists. I'd been a lorry driver with a brick company and he asked me to work for him driving his brand new truck for a fresh venture he'd undertaken. I was quickly fired for (a) having a non-respectful attitude and (b) getting his brand new truck wedged under a low bridge just outside of Macclesfield.
all you have to say is "who says jehovah is not using me right now?
" something to that effect.. if they say you are just a low-life nobody just point out amos nipper of figs.
and if they say "do you think you're a prophet?
Take a look at this pic I took a couple of years back.
I think it says it all..
im still in and i cant help but feel nervous as more and more changes are coming forward.
i cant help but feel that they are starting to get more hardcore again.
let me explain.
It would appear that Tony Tightpants is making a bid for leadership. Most folk who are in corporate circles will recognise the signs. He's becoming a self-appointed troubleshooter, a constant presence in WT videos, a hard-liner on dissidents (always a popular trait amongst any electorate) and is permanently keeping himself at the front of any publicity. Some of the less pushy GB members might feel a little resentful that he's always in the loop, others will be fawning over him in the hope of getting some of the reflected glory.
It's a classic bid for self advancement!
i wanted to share an experience i had and see if anyone else had encountered this same matter.
we always tried to make an extra effort to ensure we stood on the approved hotel lists when going to our special day conventions or district conventions or what they now call regional.
we use to stay many nights a year and i would save up my hotel points to use at a later time.. i remember checking in at popular chain hotel and asked the hotel clerk how many points would i earn for the 3 night stay?
Are these hotel points used as a form of discount on future visits, rather similar to air miles being used to discount future flights?
if so, why would the society want them?
