Hey, I had a question I was wondering if anyone could help me with? I've heard from past posters who have had to go through the nightmare of a judicial committee, and the elders made them go into minute detail about what did or didn't happen regarding sexual matters. My question is, is there someplace in the printed literature that describes the questions that should be asked by the committee? I have someone close to me, who doesn't believe that the elders would ask such questions. This person is seriously thinking of going back to the org and to be honest I think it would be VERY detrimental to their well being. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much bw

Life Everlasting in Freedom of the Sons of God--Rutherford book
by cameo-d inin the old testament the "sons of god" are those fallen angels who mated with women.. does wt acknowledge and align with these 'sons of god' fallen angel beings, or does wt promote the only begotton son, jesus?.
i don't see how you can claim both.. .
in light of the title of this book, life everlasting in freedom of the sons of god, it would seem that wt is promoting that everlasting life does not come through belief on jesus, but rather through the lineage and teachings of these fallen angels known as the "sons of god".. and what is this "freedom"?

Human nature to try and make order out of random patterns.
So how does one make a link clickable then?

Jehovah’s Witness St Andrew’s congregation elder Mike Rochfort said he didn’t believe the cloud was a holy apparition.
“From our biblical point of view it would be just a coincidence. There is no biblical evidence to suggest that Jesus would manifest himself like this deliberately,” he said.
Too funny! as if this would be totally ridiculous, yet Jesus communicating with a bunch of old folks in Brooklyn or where ever it is they are now, would be completely logical

Is the Divine Name a watchtower pub? I know it sounds familiar. I've looked through my PDFs and can't find one by that name. Is that the complete name?

Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown, or to any man or number of men-go freely with powerful uneducated persons, and with the young, and with the mothers or families-re-examine all you have been told in school or church or in any book, and dismiss whatever insults your own soul; and your very flesh shall be a great poem, and have the richest fluency, not only in its words, but in the silent lines of its lips and face, and between the lashes of your eyes, and in every motion and joint of your body.
Walt Whitman
