  NEWS: I am publicly reproved over UN situation.

  by badwillie in

  2. friends

  my wife and i met with 3 elders for a "judicial hearing".. our crime: simply put, was talking.

  i showed a friend the un website where the wts was listed as an ngo which then led to a 2 hour discussion of various doubts that we both have had.

  my wife also showed a friend the un thing but also discussed with her a first hand account of a pedophile cover-up that we knew about in our former congregation.

  What is going ON?

  first of all: i am new and have been lurking for about 2 weeks.

  whoow!

  glad i got that out of the way.. something that really bothers me is: when they say that the gb all the way down, elders, and ministerial servents are "appointed" by jehovah, and are deserving of "double honor".

  Why are JWs scared of death?

  by NikL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been thinking a lot lately about death.

  this is not surprising considering the turn of events on the 11th.. i have been re-awakened to the transient nature of human life and how it can go in the blink of an eye.

  as the bible says life is vanity and a striving for the wind.. with all of the talk about world war 3 and how dangerous this world has become, i have been on a bit of an emotional roller coaster this past week.. the fear of dying is a normal and basic emotion.

  Monogamy

  by AvailableLight in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm fairly new to the board, so i apologize in advance if this subject has previously been beaten to death.. what do you think about historical individuals in bible history and the their (in some cases) excessively non-monogamous marriages?

  some of these individuals continued to be favorable in god's eyes, such as abraham.

  david and solomon also practiced polygamy.. according to wts belief, god "allowed" this to take place either for political reasons or for the propogation of the human race.

  Change in WTS doctrine under way!

  by biblexaminer in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a "significant re-adjustment" in watchtower dicta is in the works.

  is it important?

  if you do want to know, then take the time to read the following information, for doctrine is the motivation behind everything that is "watchtower", and recent happenings within watchtower-world shed light on the future course of the great ship watchtower.. [hr].

  DECEPTIVE JW ELDERS - CASE#6

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  deceptive jw elders case#6 .

  jw elders can be, and often are, deceptive in how they smear the names and events concerning former jws, especially where alleged apostasy is involved.. when i moved to a particular congregation, i was at first very impressed with the good camaraderie and the help we were given in getting settled.

  the congregation was far more outgoing and often held events at a public park where they gathered to enjoy barbecue, swimming, sports, etc.
