  has anyone got any good 'jws and alcohol' stories?

  i always found it amazing that so many jws got blind drunk at parties and got away with it!

  i suppose alcohol was the only fun thing we were allowed to partake in....

  Mother can also mortgage Kingdom Halls & Assembly Halls to generate cash...but that means she'll have a ton of monthly mortgage payments including high interest costs.

  no she wont--she will get the bruvvers to cover it all

  Brilliant !

  Secret Elders Book? Bwahahaha!

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i remember a couple of decades ago when the internet was relatively young and the wt was at war with it, that they were battling to keep the pay attention book secret, commencing legal action against anyone who published it online (and of course, trying to out anyone who leaked it).

  i think it was a norwegian skeptics organisation who had it available for download and dared the wt lawyers to come after them.. so i guess the new shepherd the flock book came out to try and put the genie back in the bottle and reassert some air of mystery and secrecy back into the equation.. so i typed jehovah's witnesses secret elder book into google.

  colour me gobsmacked!

  Armageddon is just beginning

  do you want to know what is really behind the fake coronavirus pandemic, so-called vaccines and the war in ukraine?

  to understand current events, you must first learn the history.

  the world's biggest secret is that there have been tremendous global disasters in the past that decimated populations and caused the collapse of empires.

  Conscience Issues

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  thought inspired by my post on tattoos: within the watchtower organisation, how many "conscience issues" actually are?

  are people who actually do exercise their consciences in grey areas painting a target on their backs for the more hard-line dubs?

  are they quietly avoided because " bad associations spoil useful habits"?

  your jw conscience issues are whatever the elders decide them to be.

  Jehovah's Witnesses and Tattoos

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was wondering about the jw attitude towards getting tattoos.. redditors suggest that the only jws who have them would have got them before they were baptised.. jw.org gives a meally-mouthed "true christians wouldn't" response.. but no-one (that i've seen so far) answers the question i'm actually asking: is getting a tattoo after being baptised a disfellowshipping offence?.

  if not disfellowshipable, how would a typical jw congregation treat someone who got a tattoo after baptism?

  would they really treat it like it is a conscience issue?.
