So, by this rationale, an elder can have sex with a prostitute, shoot heroin, paintball an old lady and cheat on his taxes and as long as he waits 3 years or more and keeps the sin hidden he can continue as an elder? This is effed up.

At least 3 years...
by Confession infor some time now i've been searching the wts' publications for a policy that i clearly remember from my time as an elder.
but i just can't find it.
it was the one which stated that if someone--even a congregation servant--came forward and confessed to wrongdoing, there would not have to be a judicial committee, nor would a servant even need to lose his privileges--if at least three years had passed and the individual had put the sin behind him/her.

I never even knew this until I DA'ed. I was alway's the guy going to the elders to confess my sins while all my friends just covered it up. Now I'm the one out and those jokers are still in. Funny.

The Papal Spectacle. More smoke, mirrors, bells, and whistles.
by Holey_Cheeses*King_of_the juice. inso the greatest show on earth rolls around again.
traditional catholics must be exulted to be a part of the death of one pope and the selection of another.
many of them would not have thrilled to such a glorious occasion.. a spectacular location, a cast of millions (most of whom are alive), lavish costumes and props, and plenty of superstitious ceremonies and customs.

Daniel's Prophecy, 605 BCE or 624 BCE?
by Little Bo Peep inhello all, i've been reading your site for a couple of years now, and have found, for the most part, it to be very helpful.
i must say, at first i was very "scared" at what i might find, but contrary to what i grew up learning, there is a "wealth" of information outside of the watchtower organization.
i haven't attended meetings for about two years now, and like many i've read about, have spent many hours researching, telling myself "i'm not wrong for searching", and doing more research.

Scholar, your hypothesis isnt the subject of ANY debate within scholorship because every scholor in the world realizes its crackpot bullshit.

some please make sense of this!
by sad and lonely inhi people!..i have a serious question.and i often wonder have anyone one earth thought this way too!
why when there's a funeral the preacher always say..."got called his son or daughter home.i went to a family funeral,not this relative lived a bad (with a capital bad) life.the family knew it.he was evil,hateful,treated people wrong,yet the preacher said he's gone to heaven...so i'm now thinking then what the hell!..is hell for.no matter what i always hear the preacher say that person is gone to heaven...i asked my brother-in-law,why don't anyone say ...this person is in hell(since hell is suppose to be a place for the sinners)are the preachers afraid to say that around the families?i'm confused!

INCULCATE!! Nice one Badger! I actually felt like I was in a suit and tie with a bead of saliva escaping the corner of my mouth and staring off in a dumbstruck haze for a second there! That really took me back.
