  New Light on Fat people

  glutton...fails to show love for jehovah.

  is food a big thing in his life?

  if in the presence of others, does he selfishly ignore their needs and take more than his fair share?

  BluesBrother - I have never heard of anyone being carpeted for it, though

  Same here - weird isn't it...the amount of (very overweight) JWs who were permanantly on a 'diet', but couldn't resist cake, even though they tried soooo hard to resist (gluttony being a 'sin'). Yet having one cigarette - smoking not even mentioned in Bible - is a terrible 'actionable' sin. Silly.

  I recall one Elder...and don't get me wrong, I don't judge anyone, ever...but he was obese, which is 'fine', but his suits were about two sizes too small so not a pleasant sight. If a 'sister' wore such ill fitting clothes (or indeed a non-elder brother) I'd imagine they'd have been counselled.

  What Are Some Of The Dumbest Beliefs JW's Have?

  i know there are a lot.. one belief i never understood is that blood fractions might be ok for a christian but not "whole blood".

  to me the "blood doctrine" is ridiculous from a scriptural point of view..

  One new one is "a generation". Now, they are stringing generations end to end like I do with Christmas lights. At least the Christmas lights look pretty.

  So funny Wizard ...the WT is not only content with changing the Bible and History to suit its doctrines...but is now changing the dictionary, lol.

  because i have honestly seen a watchtower/awake magazine saying that its ok to be such things.

  That anything published in WT literature carries more authority than the Bible does.

  If I was a 'Demon' I don't think I'd check out the 'small ads' to sellotape/weld myself to second hand objects.

  I was baptized when I was 17, not because I wanted to be, but because it was expected of me.

  Bingo. I think that applies to a lot here. I too was 'Baptised' at 15...bullied/expected/emotionally blackmailed etc, not MY choice. 'Dubism' is about pleasing others and not ourselves! Welcome

  Furthermore, my two neighbors who helped her out have known her for years and before her "episode" have always referred to her as a sweet, kind old lady.

  Ah...old school. For years she (and many like her) believe that the only 'good peeps' in this Wicked World are 'potential-dubs'..? OR is she 'angry' because Satan is very cunning (a Catholic in her midst on 'pretence' of doing good deeds)...

  It never fails to amaze me that senior (in years) dubs have to rely on 'Worldlies' for any practical help. Are the dubs waiting for the 'New System' till they help each other to harvest/build/bury Worldlies and loot their homes..?

  Other Religions use the Name JEHOVAH too

  by UnDisfellowshipped in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  are jehovah's witnesses really the only religion that promotes and preaches the name of jehovah?.

  jw's are always claiming that they are the only religion that preaches and uses the name jehovah, and that is why only they will be saved.

  for example, look at this quote from the watchtower:.

  In fact, if the Catholic Church 'registers' the name 'Jehovah (as it could prove the source of the name), could it sue the WT every time they used the name...? Lol
