  the courier mail friday november 3 page 7. jail for sex crimes.

  a long-serving member of the jehovah's witness church has been jailed for sexual offences he committed against two young brothers more than 30 years ago.

  rex peterson, now 69, was brought into brisbane district court in a wheelchair for his sentencing yesterday because of multiple debilitating medical conditions.

  does anyone who was raised a jw and is now df'd of da'd celebrate all the holidays?

  i do, and for the first time in my entire life i'm actually having a blast and so are my children.

  at least my youngest child doesn't have to suffer the segregation all jw children surrender to due to the freakin' mind controlling gb and all there so called "god channeled" rules..

  work virus.

  there is a dangerous virus being passed around electronically, orally, and by hand.

  this virus is called worm-overload-recreational-killer (work).

  So I think that I have it.......should I yell out to anyone who approaches that they should stay clear of me? No matter how much antidote I consume, I still keep breaking out with it!!

  Birthdays and Disfellowshipping

  by geevee in

  i am trying to find any substance to the idea that if you had a birthday celerbration as a jw you could be disfellowshipped?

  i have a word document that i made before i handed in my elders book and i have the 2005 wt cd from reexamine.

  the elders book on around page 91-94 or 5 lists a heap of things that you could be disfellowshipped for, but celebrating birthdays are not one of them.

  Hi all and thanks for the replies. Consensus is you cant be DFed, but maybe marked? So here's the thing. We havent gone for a year and a half....obviously immature christians!! and we were asked if we celebrated one son's birthday, to which I replied "it's no bodies business as to whether we did or didn't, infact you'd be hard pressed to show me the scripture where it says you cant celebrate". So, you know how it is, you prepare your mind for a huge battle, just incase they come back for more! Hope they dont, but you are better to be ready for it, than not. Although it is a no win argument, say too much against the JW stand and you are done for anyway.

The elders book on around page 91-94 or 5 lists a heap of things that you could be disfellowshipped for, but celebrating birthdays are not one of them. There is a section on celebrating false religious holidays, but it does not say birthday. A 98 watchtower QFR mentioned that "mature" christians would not celebrate birthdays, but what about the immature? Any current elders care to comment, or recently ex elders? There maybe updated directions or something?

  Seven thousnd times omited..Hard to believe

  by Poztate in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in the dec 1 wt first article on antichrists they state "adding to the confusion,many bible translators have taken god's name,jehovah,out of there translations,even though it occurs over 7,000 time in the original text!".

  i am curious since the name jehovah is a recent invention or corruption which original texts could possibly contain this name 7,000 times?

  it seems to me like they are trying to blow a lot of hot air at the faithful.. it also seemed to me that they were trying to draw a firmer link between "apostates" and the antichrist.

  JW Weddings

  by Jeffro in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at every jw wedding i ever went to, the celebrant has always said without fail that "the bride and groom have requested that no rice or confetti be thrown".. is this spiel used everywhere?

  is it actually a request of the bride and groom, or is it just bombastically imposed by the elders (i.e.

  a lie)?.
