WTS SAYS ELDERS SINS DON'T COUNT!

sometime ago i posted a discussion on h20 about the nov. 1991 kingdom ministry school for elders / ms held at woodburn, oregon.

during that school session the co stated that elders who commit a serious sin, even a gross sin, did not have to be removed if the event took place two or three years prior, and the elder continued to be respected, giving evidence of jehovahs blessing.

the co stipulated that this only applied to elders and ms and not to regular publishers.

the second article of discussion in this issue is titled: "moving ahead to final victory!".

the article starts to talk about christs enthronement as king and in paragraph one, along with an illustration of crowned jesus riding on a white horse, it states: "we today, have clear evidence that this foretold enthronement took place in 1914.. since watchtower article discussions are always a one way dialogue, where the society speaks and the rank and file just listens, it is easy to make assertions.

in a normal two way dialogue, when one says "i have clear evidence" for something, the other party will not just nod his head in agreement, but would rather demand to know and see what this clear evidence is and would want to proceed and examine it thoroughly.

the human brain is a non-stop chattering machine.

it is constantly evaluating, making decisions and judgments.

there is not a human being alive that isn't an abject hypocrite nearly every day.

i decided to limit the number of forums until the number of visitors has built up a bit...otherwise it will be like having a party in a 200 room mansion - no one will ever meet!.

please let me know if there are any forums that you'd like to see available.
