  Special Mercy Provided to Adulterous Husbands 'if' Elders

  by HiddenPimo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so here is something else that helped me wake up -.

  the elders manual - shepherd the flock of god contains a special caveat for elders who have committed adultery some time ago (not sure how many years, 'some time ago' is, but probably based on a complex formula of donations and # of assembly parts given.).

  but basically, they can just get a talking to by 2 brothers and then they can keep on keeping on.

  Yes, when my husband saw this little jewel in the Elders book, it was just another confirmation that we made the right decision to leave this abusive cult.

  Do old time present day active JW`s genuinely believe in overlapping generations ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for the life of me i can not come to terms with old timers in the "truth" who could swallow this interpretation of scripture about an overlapping generation .. when jesus spoke about "this generation" .

  are their any real bible students among younger ones any more ?.

  here are 3 bible scriptures that confirm a generation is approximately 40- 50 years long give or take a few years .. 1. matt:1 :17 abraham born 2016-18 bc jesus born 2 bc approx.

  They don't need to know deep doctrine, it's a social club. A place for the misfits to fit in.

  after enduring years of secrecy and betrayal, shelly rose braieoux finally dug deep within herself and picked up the phone.. key points:.

  shelly braieoux said jehovah's witnesses elders failed to face up to her abuse allegations.

  she said she felt like god would strike her down when she cut ties with the church.

  Yes, we told family that we were not attending. Things just have not been the same since. We refuse to enter a Kingdom Hall or JW event.

  If JW's feel they can not, in good conscience, enter a church or church event, then they must also respect our decision. We know they won't respect us but it was a good thought. lol

  I hope so.

  How many JW's are working low paying jobs, just so they can drop their meager wages in WT's donation box? How many will get pissed that old Tony is buying top shelf booze? Most will not even hear about it but how many are on the edge of leaving this corrupt/abusive cult.
