The SDAs have set up a commitee of people to deal with child and other sexual abuse in their church. THe commitee is made up of SDAs and also christians of other denominations so as to be objective with these terrible problems. I sent information off to Bill on this approach maybe he can use it for his purposes. I dont trust any religion or organisation in allways doing the right thing on these issues. As our Lord said 'beware of men'. Barry

Gday all, If any of you have time just remember the witnesses of Singleton north New South Wales in youre prayers. My ex wife phoned me Saturday night told me she was going to the meetings and studying with the witnesses. My ex has joined more religions than i can remember and changes religion just like changing men. If something upsets my ex she doesnt back off, they will get it for sure and she has had experiance with the witnesses in the past. Anyway she did inform me that she felt the witnesses their were more tolerant because the few witnesses in the area and the low meeting attendance.

came in the flesh
by A Paduan inthat last post just reminded me of something.
john said that "
by this you know the spirit of god: every spirit that confesses that jesus christ has come in the flesh is of god,

That quote by John is to reject the teachings of the gnostics who claimed our Lord didnt have a real body even before the crusifiction the body of christ was only a cloak and Simon of serine was crusified in the place of christ. This heracy was common in the first and second century. The reason the witnesses say our lord didnt have a real body when resurected is because of 1914 and his invisible comming in that year. I had many disscussions with the witnesses on this very topic. It seems when our lord showed thomas his hands and feet with the wounds they were fake only a fake copy of his wounds. Barry

Why do JW's allow wedding rings?
by Gopher inrecently we had a post where a non-jw asked what to expect at his jw's wedding.
he was told not to expect certain things that have a pagan background such as rice-tossing or the bride throwing a corset to the virgins unmarried girls at the reception.. but somehow wedding rings are allowed at jw weddings!.
any idea why?.

barry
Im an Adventist and traditionally Adventists dont wear wedding rings. Although they dont adhear to that rule much anymore ive heard they still do in the us. Of course they dont miss out on any other pagan things like christmas or birthdays. Barry

A good old fashioned book burning
by iggy_the_fish inhulloo all,.
to cut a very long and oft told story (on boards like this at any rate) very short, i was partially raised a jw (tho' never baptised), and now i've reached the stage where my very modest collection of dub literature must be disposed of.
it's lived in a box in attics and high shelves in various houses for the last 12 years during which time i've been sh*t scared to go near it, but equally scared to get rid of it for fear of seriously pissing off his almightyness up in the heavens.. well, over the past year i've been through a few of the usual "eye openers", coc & the gentile times thingumygig whatsit doodah, and evolution books too.
