Can two men or two women ever marry in WT land? That should answer your question. It IS discriminatory.
Yes indeed. How interesting it would have been if laws had then be in force then for same-sex couples to marry and these two had been in such an arrangement prior to their contact with JW's. I'm sure this scenario is going to crop up soon and am fascinated to watch how it might play out.
Will we see a new "get a divorce before baptism" edict coming from HQ one day I wonder?
hi i am just starting to rebuild my relationship with jehovah.
.
i would like to hear from people who may be or have been in similar situations and now want to dedicate their lives to him..
Jusr remember this: God is a great guy. It's only his fan club that you need to be afraid of.
i was born into the elastic fact, tract & knock knock club, as it is known to some, but most often you will hear them referred to as "the worst thing i've ever been through.
"i had the typical jw early life of forced compliance by sadistic joy killing narcissists.
i learned early on that 'new light' doesn't come from stifled children and there was no suggestion box at my house.. when i was 6 my parents divorced and my mom quickly remarried and we moved from portland to the oregon coast.
God knows what his phone bill was. He'd sometimes ring and I'd crack open 2 or 3 tinnies while were chatting. He was one of those fellas who just loved people.
But is it homophobic? All sexual contact between unmarried individuals is banned in WT land so I don't see that it's discriminatory.
Inquiring minds wanted to know? What does Rose Bud mean???
It's the name of the sled that came to take Kane away when he was a child.
gluttony seems to be a sin that jw's like to ignore .there are several scriptures that point out that gluttony is a sin, proverbs 23:20-21 "do not join those who gorge themselves on meat".....also i read somewhere that 1% is the number of disfellowshipped jw's each year......how do prove someone is a glutton and not just a person who love food???

The Prince Regent - later George 4th - had some extremely bad press due to his excessive appetite. Just thought I'd throw that in...
ever see brother ugly who is 86 being taken to the doctor by sister frigid who is 65 and also not good looking?
they have to have a chaperone or at least sit in back and front seats.
or a man who can't bring the freezing daughter in the house when he stopped briefly by because hubby is not home.
Any WT links to chaperoning policies?
watchtower november 2017, page 10, paragraph 8 - "today, a christian guilty of serious sin needs to seek the help of congregation elders to recover.
) why is this so important?
first, the arrangement for elders to handle cases of serious sin comes from jehovah, (2nd lie!
I have to tell you that as young teen I was informed, like my peers, that any unconfessed serious sin ie, a disfellowshipping sin - would result in death at armageddon.
Consequently much time was spent in discussion about what sort of sin could result in disfellowshipping.
Masturbation?
Breast fondling?
Pussy - willy fondling?
It just went on and on. One courting couple I knew believed that anal sex was OK as it was a non-divorceable offence if performed outside of marriage so therefore obviously not a disfellowshipping offence either. No confession required!
Oral? Same thing!
for only $12,500.00 your ashes can be put on the moon or $5,000 for a burial in low-earth orbit, where a travel-shampoo-size urn can spin for years at 17,000 mph until it gradually descends into the white-hot re-entry atmosphere.they hope to have a cemetery on the moon complete with plots and ceremonial adornments..just think every time it's a full moon you look up in the sky and you will always see you love one.
a thought, you are resurrected on the moon.....
This has to be the way!
tax collector guy might help out..
I'd stay friends with that gal who hammered a tent peg through the head of Sisera..
Jael with the nail!
