  this artical seems ok to me no mention of shunning, marking etc.

  could it be the wt is feeling the heat and changing its policy in respect to shunning of family and friends?

  is the awake just as authoritive as the wt and is this artical grounds for a change?

  For Jehovah's Witness's or those who are not:

  is there any part of being a witness that you think is honestly the truth?

  so many people use the term "truth" when in fact there is no way to prove it is the truth.

  it used to be for me being raised a witness that i thought everything printed or said was the truth now i don't.

  Being an SDA I beleive they got that term from the SDA church just as they got most of the prophecy doctrins from Adventists. I havent heard the SDAs refer to there religion ass the truth is years now.

  this is the anti-thread from minimus...... don't do it it, it's silly and un-necessary.

  as much as some might post negatives upon negatives here, i know some here don't feel that way.. scoob.

  The natives in New Zealand used to be cannibles so I would be worried they might have a tast for human flesh.

  Different type of bible study

  by freedom96 in

  1. jw

  last night i went with a friend to a bible study promoted by his non-denominational church.. from time to time, some of the church will get together for a few weeks in someones home and have a study.

  this one was six weeks long, and certainly was not manditory.. i entered the home, and instantly had flashbacks to book studies.

  chairs were set out, but there was joy in the air.

  Gday Anglise, I can understand youre concerns but I have been to most churches and bible studies they hold are all after a similar pattern to the one described here.

  I often dissagree with church doctrines at the SDAs and I am a member there. To make it clear what I want to say I simply start by saying "This is not what the church teaches" "my beleif about this subject is". ..........

  As long as youre approach is courtious kind and with christian love there is no problem. And if you are a cool guy like me it helps too.

  If you are a trouble maker and try to take over meetings be disruptive rude and unchristian toward people you may have problems as you would in any club group or church. Barry
