  New Congregation Position Soon? ELDERESS?

  by 7Starz in

  i just listened to most of geoffrey jackson's royal commission testimony and i have to say i really enjoyed the multiple times he had to state he would get back to them and would research their questions.. the royal commission was asking if policy could be changed to have women serve on a committee to decide the case and then that bodies decision be brought to the elders to decide whether to show mercy or to disfellowship and individual.

  three times the judge had to ask mr. jackson to answer his question.. it was amazing how jackson could not find a scripture to show his honor that women were prohibited to serve as elders.

  he could only support that men are appointed as elders.. hmm... i've never been a member of the governing body with all their years of so called spiritual training, but even i remember deborah the prophetess, when the judge asked jackson if women could serve as a judge.. i was so hoping that the judge or mr. stewart would refer to deborah.

  okay, i know the royal commission hasn't started yet.

  but i'm confident enough that he will be telling some whoppers.

  so i thought i'd be the first to get a thread started for something that will begin... very soon now!.

  SimonSays, happy to see you again our dear archenemy.

  Just remember this, nothing your false prophet organization said would happen has happened and nothing that it now says will happen in the future is actually going to happen. Remember that when you're on your death bed looking back on a wasted life.

  Jackson said that they don't have a "Spy network" to keep an eye on the person. Unless it's 2 AM with two elders keeping surveillance on their house to see if anyone of the opposite sex comes in.

  I'm a little confused. Are JCs in Australia made up of only 2 elders instead of 3 like the U.S.?

  Read Judges 4 & 5 where you find this:

  4 Now Deborah, a prophet, the wife of Lappidoth, was leading Israel at that time. 5 She held court under the Palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites went up to her to have their disputes decided. 6 She sent for Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali and said to him, “The Lord, the God of Israel, commands you: ‘Go, take with you ten thousand men of Naphtali and Zebulun and lead them up to Mount Tabor. 7 I will lead Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his troops to the Kishon River and give him into your hands.’” Judges 4:4-7 New International Version

  As an organization they don't encourage corporal punishment?!? What about Proverbs about using the rod to punish a child?

  Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them. - Proverbs 13:24 NIV

  I recall that Watchtower quote saying that at times the Witnesses might be told to do something that might seem strange or that they may disagree with. I hope Mr. Stewart knows that quote.
