this came up recently with my dyed-in-the-wool jw pioneer mother, who swears up and down that there are no scriptural instances of this happening.
i seem to remember a couple passages, but can't remember where they were..

Jesus is the product of child rape--age 13--no matter who you believe the baby daddy is. This from a god who believed his perfect son couldn't consent to baptism until age 33. Consent to impregnation when you're 13=A-OK. Consent to baptism=wait til you're in your 30s.
do you know the name of the country where the wt said the brothers walked thru alligators infested waters to go to the assembly, etc?
there is no way i will do that for jehoober!
they sound like rick fearon.
as the title says--i'm out of here for good.. the site is full of atheists, communists, 7th day adventists, creationists, believers, deceivers, receivers, football supporters,.
dodgy types, cantleave---and assorted wankers.. so no place for me--because i'm none of the above so dont fit in.
so--this is goodbye forever my friends--its been almost average knowing you.
I support atheist wankers who support football.
i was compelled to ask this question because i have seen several of the youtube videos on jcs.
on striking similarity among all these videos is that most of the people bringing the arguments to the elders are pretty much atheists or have turned to another religion altogether.. i can easily see that the common concern in most of the people involved, is their ability to keep in touch with family and friends, which by all means would be my concern as well, when and if i ever end up in one.. however, i can't help but to notice something.
it is difficult enough to think of the day that the wt would accept a loose canon in their ranks, let alone someone who openly claims to no longer believe in god.
Me, I was forced to attend by my parent, with my only other choice being homelessness.
People seem to have a variety of reasons.
this case has to be talked about by ever awake jw every apostate everyone.
this case because they refuse to hand over documents the court already knows they have because they handed them over before but heavily redacted, is the icing on the cake!
this case shows thier evil plain and simple.
$1.5 million per year sounds like me to be too little a penalty to motivate them, considering they can easily afford that and have a lot more to lose if they comply.
im not a jw and never was but had a bad encounter with one , ie my gf was one .
anyway , i was wondering if fb pages are actually allowed , i thought the wt frowned upon them ?
here is one i discus in regularly , maybe take a look and leave a comment on the tripe they write , it looks very well done and presented ,https://www.facebook.com/honor.jehovah/.
Drwho and Doctor Who are talking to each other in the same thread. Must be a time travel paradox.
this is what happened.
i had a sore tendon in my wrist.
i could work with it, but nevertheless the pain was there.
i had one lovebombing when she died by the congregation and since then---- nada.
lol.
The OP in this thread definitely wins the Glass Half Full Award. ;)
does anyone know the wt's position on medical treatment using stem cells?
i don't even know how to go about finding out this information.
if anyone could tell me where to look or what the current position is by the society, i am most appreciative.. i would like to recommend the treatment to a jw relative, but don't want to get involved in an argument if it is forbidden.
Let's just Photoshop an Awake! saying it's fine and dandy.
Heck, I will write the article and I'll say it's not only ok, it's recommended all xians get stem cell therapy even if it's not medically indicated. I'll say a GB member got one and there is evidence it was done in ancient Israel.
whether it's videos on jw broadcasting or pdfs on jw.org, all downloads used to be archived in-house at "assets.jw.org/" followed by the items name/code.
now clicking a download link retrieves the items from akamai.net, a web services company..
I'm hoping the explanation is that all the people who used to be in Bethel have moved out and abandoned the religion. Now there is only 1 guy left running things with levers and knobs behind a giant curtain, like Wizard of Oz, which is why he needed to outsource some stuff.
