  Not enough reaching out

  by pillsbury in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the society has really been pushing hard lately (i know, like always) to do more and reach out.

  there is at least one reason for do this that i can think of.

  i have many friends around the country and they went to the elder school last year.

  Secret literature

  by HarryPotter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  almost the majority of us know that there is a secret book just for the elders which is called "pay attention..." everybody knows that the society defends herself saying that the book is not secret becasue it was shown to the witnesses in an assambley and there is a picture of it in the book proclaimers so she askes how the book could be a secret.

  well, acccording to my dicctionary for learners of english says: secret; something that is secret is known about by only a small number of peple, and is not told or shown to anyone else.

  so the book is secret.

  Bible= publications

  by pillsbury in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have never really noticed how much the society equates their literature with the bible.

  there is an interesting quote in the last paragraph of this week's bookstudy out of the worship the only true god book.

  the chapter deals with the issue of univeral sovereignty, it states "how vital it is that we cultivate the habit now of responding positively to whatever direction jehovah gives us, whether through his word or through his organization.

  DF'ing: The "Right Kind" Of Repentance.

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  i've heard of judicial committees df'ing people because their repentance, although genuine, was of the wrong kind.. for years now, elders have been told to make absolutely sure that a persons abject repentance, which might include copious weeping and even hysteria, is to be of no avail if:.

  they suspect that the accused's being sorry is only the fact that they are feeling sorry for themselves.. they suspect that the accused is showing sorrow only for the fact that they have been found out.. anyone else come across this?.
