What Privileges do you get when you are baptized ?

by LOLS in

my husband was baptized at the recent 2018 convention in south africa ....... he was very annoyed that his non-believing wife did not attend the baptism....... but i think he received pressure from his jw father & elders as to why his wife was not attending ....... anyway ..... it's really water off my back .

i wanted to know what privileges you get as a baptized jw man , as i saw a message from one of the elders at his cong , congratulating him on his baptism and to earning more privileges ..... what are these privileges the elder is speaking about ,,,,, .

i don't feel like asking my husband as it just lands up in a stupid fight ..... or a long winded explanation ..... thanks .

Has God preserved His word today?

by JW Answers in

has god preserved his word today?

many people attack, doubt and fault god's word.

yet god has made several promises in his word.he promised to preserve his word unto every generation,he promised that every word would be truth,he promised that we can rely and depend on his every word.satan wants nothing more than to dismiss, and cast doubt on god's word... so the question today is... do we have god's preserved word today?

Trying to figure out this accent. Stirling? Falkirk? Kilmarnock? Somewhere central Scotland methinks. Not Glasgow.

Serena William is 'fighting for women'?!

by LoveUniHateExams in

so serena williams lost the us open final 6-2, 6-4 to naomi osaka, her japanese-american opponent.. williams received three code violations from the umpire, carlos ramos: .

1. a warning for illegal coaching (subsequently admitted by williams's coach).

2. a point penalty for smashing her racquet.

The claim wasn’t that women get penalised more than men overall, but that they are more likely to get penalised for the same offence. These figures don’t answer that question, since it is perfectly possible for men to be half as likely to be penalised for an obscenity, and yet be penalised for obscenities more often than women overall.

God and the afterlife. Do you need to believe in both

by moley in

i consider myself an atheist, i completely reject the idea of a totalitarian desert god/any god and the bible is a book of fairytales and folk legends.. i do however sort of believe that this life is not all there is.

i’m not talking about heaven or hell but in a tangible state of being.. there are a few experiences i’ve had in my llife.

could be imagined could be real.

Transhumanists seem to believe in a sort of afterlife without God.

A new Ezekiel book? Interesting possibility. Would that be the first since the “nations shall have to know” book?

But I thought they had stopped publishing major new books?

Where did the rumour come from I wonder.

Watchtower History

by vienne in

some of you read our history blog and have read our first two books.

we're pushing to finish volume 2, separate identity.

a rough draft chapter from volume 2 is up on our blog.

Thanks, I thought the video was inaccurate. It gets a lot of views however. Entertainment is viewed above accuracy these days.

I wonder if Russell and White had anything to say about each other.

Can I ask a basic question? At the risk of displaying ignorance, I was wondering if you know whether Charles Taze Russell met and had dealings with Ellen White? Because I watched this video yesterday that claimed Russell knew White very well and they even attended the same church. Which is news to me!

Will they count coloured people at the meeting this year?
