How would they explain this one?

by StarTrekAngel in

while there is plenty of pressure for young jws to refrain from every act of premarital sex, self pleasuring or by engaging with others, there isn't a whole lot of advice on the bible regarding this aspect.

i have just recently began to wonder about it so the only thing i can recall regarding this on the scriptures, is the famous words recorded in 1 cor 7:39 or any other paragraph that speaks against sexual immorality.

however, i came across deut 21:10. check it out.

Seems clear to me:

“If you go to war against your enemies and Jehovah your God defeats them for you and you take them captive, 11 and you see among the captives a beautiful woman and you are attracted to her and you want to take her as your wife, 12 you may bring her into your house. She should then shave her head, attend to her nails, 13 and remove the clothing of her captivity, and dwell in your house. She will weep for her father and her mother a whole month, and afterward you may have relations with her; you will become her husband and she will become your wife. 14 But if you are not pleased with her, you should then let her go wherever she wishes. But you may not sell her for money or treat her harshly, since you have humiliated her.

another set of versus that show who their god is and how he treats people. Remember: he does not change!

Kingdom Consolidation and Sales are coming – Reliable Source

by thedepressedsoul in

i heard form a reliable source that a kingdom hall consolidation is going to be happening in the us.

currently they are looking at every kingdom hall to see if they could and should sell it.

any kingdom hall that has not been updated and is in a bad location (long driveway, not in a visible location etc...) will be sold.

I totally think this is plausable and almost certainly true.

AM3 about glasses

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

antony morris iii told the audience of a meeting last week that's the society's stance about wearing glasses has changed.

from now on the gb does not approve wearing glasses because it gives others the wrong idea of being educated.

parents have to ignore their children's wish of learning to read.

Lol it's satire people :)

Will the GB now accept Higher Learning???

by 7Starz in

reported in many news outlets today including the wall street journal: president obama is pushing for the first two years of a community college to be included in the normal education of the country's children.

the education law currently has a free education from k-12 and obama now wants to include a 2 year community college degree for free (well the tax payers will pick up the tab).

so basically k-12 and a 2 year college associates degree.. if this becomes law, will the gb change their view on higher education and say:.

_Morpheus

No i dont think so. They would bill it as "ceasars law"

I can see none of you watch tony tightpants speech on gb tv. He actually adressed this by saying "the cost of the education isnt the primary concern or concoderation. It is being emersed in the enviornment". He also specifically noted that in america the first 12 years are required, beyond that it was optional and that was where parents had to make decisions.

Good Netflix shows to watch

by Simon in

in the long winter nights you need some good tv shows to watch while you wait for the eternity between seasons of game of thrones.. we've watched marco polo (pretty good) and have just started watching orange is the new black which is not at all what i imagined (didn't know it was funny!).

house of cards is on the list too as we've heard good things about that.. anyone have any others that are worth seeing?.

_Morpheus

Another netflix documentary that was fabulous: blackfish. Fantastic.

2015 has an extra second is anyone afraid?

by truthseeker100 in

the year 2015 will have an extra second which could wreak havoc on the infrastructure powering the internet.. at 11:59 p.m. on june 30, clocks will count up all the way to 60 seconds.

that will allow the earth's spin to catch up with atomic time.. the earth's spin is gradually slowing down, by about two thousandths of a second per day, but atomic clocks are constant.

that means that occasionally years have to be lengthened slightly, to allow the slowing earth to catch up with the constant clock.. but last time it happened, in 2012, it took down much of the internet.

_Morpheus

Im only afraid my precious second will be sucked away by a cult :)

edited to add: i also meant to tell you it was a cool find, truthseeker!

_Morpheus

@afrikanman, im sorry if you felt attacked. I very carefully phrased my statments to be neutral and referance my opinion, not an incontrivertable fact. I also laid out why i felt as i do in a conversational format. I will refrain from comenting further if it upsets you but i stand by my view.
