genora hamm biggs had been a member of the union grove baptist church for 92 yearsuntil a new pastor banished her and tried to have her arrested over a clash about the style of a sermon.. a 103-year-old georgia woman was banished from her church for a sin the pastor cant forgiveshe disagreed with how he preached.. genora hamm biggs has attended union grove baptist church in elberton since she was 11 years old.

but last month, rev.

Perry:

On closer examination, this doesn't resemble JW's closed door disfellowshipping at all.

Maybe not closed door but the pastor was manipulative nonetheless.

Looks like she had a vendetta against the pastor and tried to disrupt the congregation services on several occasions.

I realize that a b!tch might use her age to excuse her actions but I perceive her more as a determined, feisty old gal.

The members voted unanimously (while she was present) to cancel her membership.

I must have missed that in the OP but what exactly did they vote her out for? Not liking her Pastor's sermon styles? Disagreeing that he had the Church's best interests at heart?

Silly Bible things you notice when your awake.

by Crazyguy in

i sure you guys can list others but here is a thought about the exodus story.

in chapter 1 the pharoah is concerned that the israelites are becoming to numerous.

and just as a side point we can assume pharaohs were not to dumb and even if they were the smart people of egypt studied in the temple 40 years and they studied all things not just religion.

It's been decades since I was in but does anyone who is still in know if the situation with more sisters than males has been worsening in the past several years?

15 The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah, 16 “When you are helping the Hebrew women during childbirth on the delivery stool, if you see that the baby is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, let her live.” Exodus 1:15-16 New International Version

Two midwives for hundreds of thousands of women (Exodus 12:37)?

Blurring of genders

by Saltheart Foamfollower in

as sometimes happens at elders meetings with the co, he has a letter from the branch to read out.

this rarely is made available later so any policies have to be acted on from memory.

this visit a letter was read about blurring of the genders and in particular brothers dressing in a metrosexual style - tight clothing was mentioned again.

Village Idiot

"...elders should watch out for any brother who displays effeminate traits, bearing or body language (without defining what they mean exactly) and to give counsel to them."

Maybe they could look up to this as an example:

Did anyone see Jackson state "celebrating Christmas not a df'ing offence"?

by Crazyguy in

i have seen posts on several you tube sites stating that jackson said during his rc testimony that jw's don't shun, celebrating christmas is not a disfellowshipping offence, birthdays are ok and ones doesn't have to agree with jw doctrine.

i have read most of the posts on other threads while and after his testimony but never read any of this?

did he really say these things or is someone on the net just stirring up some bs?.
