District Convention Points Saturday 21-07-2012 New Light? Governing Body Is Our Mother?

by Bubblegum Apotheosis in

i have been trying to wrap my head around the talk that introduced the slave as our mother?

the brothers at bethel are worried that we are not treating our spiritual mother with respect.

jehovah is our father, the faithful slave (the governing body) is our spiritual mammy.

Horrific Violence in Today's Movies.

by ohiocowboy in

i found an article today that discusses the new batman movie.

growing up, i remember the batman and robin tv show from the 1960's, and i assumed that the dark knight movies would be along the same lines.

boy, was i wrong!!!

watson

Woops, I was referring to "Rises". Non stop violence.

Great over view Sheep2slaughter.

But, warning......sustained and intense violence throughout the whole movie. It does not let up.

STOP MAKING CRAP UP!

i had to start this thread in light of today's watchtower study.

in paragraph 14,15 they mention the grounds for separation.

no scriptures are sighted but i am well aware of the support they usually use.. i am so sick of the watchtower making crap up!

watson

Regarding paragraph 14, who defines what 'extreme' physical abuse is?

Well, that's up to the body of elders or Judicial Committee in your region. Rules and regulations may vary.

staying a witness

by J. Hofer in

the other day i overheard a conversation about jws and somebody said jws don't celebrate birthdays.

the other one said he has a few friends who are jws and while they don't celebrate their own birthdays, they do celebrate his.... then a thought crossed my mind: what if those of us who did not switch to another religion and have a somewhat non-jw lifestyle (not that hard) just keep saying we are jws?

given that there should be more ex-jws than jws by now, how would that influence the public view of jws?.

watson

DOC's got it right.

Sorry my thingie was acting up.

Sounds like a personal problem.

Current policy regarding child molesters

by loosie in

i brought up the conti case with a newly x- jw and they said that the child molestion policy was changed in 90's as far as elders reporting to the authorities.

so my question is what was the policy changed from and what did it change to?

and what is the most current letter that we have a copy of regarding the reporting policy?

watson

NEVER SUGGEST TO ANYONE THAT THEY SHOULD NOT REPORT AN ALLEGATION OF CHILD ABUSE TO THE POLICE OR OTHER AUTHORITIES.

Why does this just sound sleezy?? Just saying this to protect the org?
