  Did you hear about the congregation where.........

  by enlightenedcynic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am new to the board and am looking forward to many insightful discussions here.. a good friend of mine attends a congregation where sisters are working behind both the literature and magazine counters.

  the brothers who were handling those responsibilities were removed because in the elder body's opinion, none of them were "exemplerary".police officer explained that save for the elders and a few of the ministerial servants, none of the men in the congregation were meeting the national average in field service time, so for the foreseeable future, "exemplerary".

  the irony here though is that the same men who are unfit to handle the literature and magazine counters are qualified to offer opening and closing prayer for meetings and do reading for the watchtower study.

  Nothing in Reasoning book about Disfellowshipping

  by Goldminer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i had a talk with my father last night about the practice of disfellowshipping.my father is an active jw with privileges in the local hall.he doesn't seem in total agreement with the shunning practice of the wts,and he brought out the example of the prodigal son.we had a good discussion and i'm going to research it some more through the chapter on the misuse of disfellowshipping in the book in search of christian freedom.. anyways,i thought i'd look it up in the reasoning book to see what the wts reasoning on disfellowshipping was.it turns out it's not in the table of contents or in the index.i thought this odd;how would one reason on this with a householder who asks about it?

  why is there nothing in the reasoning book on a subject every jw says is scriptural?.

  How do I support JW other half?

  by kiddotan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just lately my soon to be mother in-law is giving my other half an incredibly hard time.

  she is crying all the time about us, trying to get his siblings to spy on us.

  ringing when she knows both of us when we are home together.

  really

  by John Doe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  [23:23] so friends, hypothetically, and i repeat, hypothetically, even if an angel were to come down here and land on this platform, today, at this moment, and to present something to us that didn't fit into the pattern of truth, what should we be ready to do?

  we should be ready to say, " hold on there, that doesn't fit into the pattern, and i am not going to listen to it!

  " yes, even if it were one of jehovah's angels..
