This passage is/was a big deal for me. After the "new light" of 1995, I was looking at the wt explanation, which I think is still the current light a wt from about 1992, which had a huge explanation of how this scripture was understood, but in line with the 95 light, nothing fitted.....check it out for your self. The sheep and the goats, the wheat and the weeds and the good fish and bad fish, none of it ties together at all.
I asked a few people about it, including our CO at the time, no one wanted to even look at it, or consider that the 95 light was crap!! they all thought I was a screw loose....an embryonic apostate!!!

Internet fulfillment of Matthew 13:47 - WT 9/15/06
by Gregor in"again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net (interossos catchmo), that was cast into the sea (universalis webicus) and gathered of every kind (neticus surfas)" mt.
so today, as we all strive to be worthy of the blessings of jehoover gawd we must avail ourselves of the blessings of his internet.
truly "food in due season" for those who hunger for the truth and some occasional soft core porn.

I'm really ticked right now!!!
by sammielee24 insituation ugly.
long story short - adult children have refused contact with df'd father for a few years.
(except for the initial obligatory hate letter full of references to satan and some disgusting name calling).

The advice is spot on. But, yes the question remains, What is "necessary family business"?? When I was "in" and an "elder" this term was bandied about, as in "only necessary family business" and nothing else. [You know, elders laying the law down because someone thinks that someone else has crossed the line and needs a sharp jab up the rear!!]
But the family with the df'ed member says, yes, the wt says necessary family business, so there are times when we can have contact.
NO ONE not even the mighty elders almanac spell out exactly what is and isn't necessary family business.
What have others been canned for? What have others been "allowed" to do? -

I'm going back to the JW's
by Honesty inif you can acccurately disprove the mathematics in the following i will be at the local kingdom hall first thing in the morning and ask the elders if i may rejoin them in worship.. here is some information i have compiled regarding what the watchtower has printed in regards to the babylonian kings and how the lengths of their reigns can be calculated to arrive at the date of the destruction of jerusalem by nebuchadnezzar.
if you're like me you've probably remained totally clueless whenever the subject of the chronology leading to back 607 b.c.
as the date for the destruction of jerusalem by nebuchadnezzar comes up.

Quandry: I really am clueless here. Even if 607 were the correct date, the point is---as has amply been made in the references to the new District Assembly, OBEDIENCE IS REQUIRED.
Are you kidding??? Yes mr. Scholar does break the rules and he'll be judged by thw WTS for that....if indeed that is his real name!!
But Obedience required? Do you mean blind obedience, or is there a slight hint of sarcasm? -

Why do elders talk to me and smile, and ordinary JW's shun me?
by JH inif i meet an ordinary jw, most of them will shun me.
if i meet an elder, they will look at me, talk to me, smile and make me feel as if i'm still a brother in good standings.. .
who's in charge here the elders or the ordinary little jw people?.

The ordinary dubs cant count their time, the elders probably see it as on opportunity to be seen to be helping you, and they have their meters running...you are helping them with their report!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IMO

My father in law is a PO in his congregation. A brother had lots of pages and scans of stuff he has got a hold of. Well the UN thing came up. We had mentioned it to him before, so he thought he would write to his branch and find out exactly what it was all about. Fair enough, go straight to the source.
His BOE got a nice little letter back about only becoming an NGO so that they could use the library!! AND as soon as they found out that this happended, they removed themselves from membership.
Nothing about being sprung by a newspaper anbd embarrassed into getting out of the UN.
Sadly my father-in-law thought that we would benefit from a copy of the letter. It might have answered one of our concerns and we might come back. We hadn't spoken about our situation for some time, and it opened the box of pandora. We spat out plenty. He mustv'e wished he had said nothing. Instead of two things that we were concerned about he now knows there are many many more.
Hope that he has a few bad nights of little sleep and the whole conversation haunts him for a while, he may even think about what we said!!
Do you think so? We hope so. -

My Inlaws just told us the other day that they serve and dedicated themselves to Jah, not to an organization........can you believe it? Does this make them apostate?
We said not to go into their hall and say that!!!! they will be in for it, but sadly they didn't get the inference. They dont seem to understand the chain of command, no jesus as mediator, so they need the org and fds for salvation, don't they? -
