Is abortion an unforgivable sin?

by e_louise in

hi all i'm a newbie with a question:.

please ban you tell me if an unbaptized publisher has an abortion is this an unforgivable sin?.

what would happen to the publisher if another jw reports them or they confess since they are not baptized?.

Star Moore

Hi and welcome...

And unbaptized publisher would no doubt be taken off the 'unbaptized publishers' list and then no longer be an 'approved associate'. An 'approved associate' is only someone who is an 'unbaptized publisher' or baptized. JW lingo there.

Is abortion an unforgivable sin? To the elders... (who cares?)

to God...? It's a matter of research... If, after an individual, researches the bible.. and comes to the conclusion it is a serious sin..and then does it... God could look down on that.

But if a person, researches it and comes to the conclusion that it's not really bad.. and then does it.. well, he doesn't think it's a serious sin, so his heart is okay.. and God only judges the heart.

That's the way I see it, anyways....

What happened 5 or 6 years ago to get so many of us out of JW?

by jayhawk1 in

i was reading through the thread, "how good does if feel to you not attending meetings anymore?

" i realized something.

many of us got out between 5 and 6 years ago.

Hi Jay,

I agree.. there was a significant change.. The internet is a very significant thing..around that time.. But I also think, the Great Tribulation started around the time of 9/11.. I know, others don't, but I do..and also think that the WT..began to be like fluff, after that time.. Nothing significant or spirited anymore..

Thanks for the interesting point..

Top ten issues to prove that JW's do not have "the truth"

by TweetieBird in

jw
friends

i am trying to compile a list of proof's, issues, lies, etc that prove that the wts is not jehovah's channel.

.

what are your top reasons for now believing that it is not the truth?

Star Moore

Tweety, let's see how many reasons I can come up with:

1. Men making themselves fathers, leaders and teachers.. (even though they vehemently deny it. )

2. Tell us we must go thru them to get to God, when it's supposed be Christ, we go thru.

3. Have the big date wrong, 1914 and many other dates.

4. They lack love for their brothers and neighbors as they are in such fear of bad association..and tattletaling.

5 . They burden people with heavy burdens of unneccessary rules like the pharisees. (like blood, holidays, birthdays, no beards, etc)

6. Don't have a clue how the end is really going to work out. IMO

7. They have been hypocritical about the UN affiliation.

8. They don't have the right to D'F..as it's a personal decision. IMO.

9. Put too much emphasis on outward actions and dress, etc.

10. Last but not least.. they don't have every interpretation of the bible correct, such as 'who really is the faithful and discreet slave?' and others.. IMO, even though they claim to.

Intellectual dishonesty in the New Tract !

by AK - Jeff in

in reviewing the new tract i noticed some interesting dishonesty within;

on page three when the wts is describing 'false religion' riding on the back of the scarlet colored wild beast - they coyly refer to the beast as ' the world's political powers*'

- the footnote reads " * for a detailed explanation of this subject, see the book revelation - its grand climax at hand published by jehovah's witnesses.

Star Moore

Jeff, The witnesses are all about tiptoeing around anything controversal now..

I guess it's called: watering down everything!!!

apostates in Michigan

i know we have some exjw's on the board that are from michigan.

but what i'm wondering is if anyone here would remember a story that came out of the brighton, michigan area about 15 - 20 years ago.. apparently a young woman da'ed and then some time later was (if my memory serves me correctly) killed in a car accident.

i believe her parent's da'ed soon after.

Star Moore

Hi Bl Swan..

Looks like you found the answer to your search for the young woman from Brighton..

Jeff, would love to meet with you and your wife.. but my hubby is pretty antisocial and I'm trying to fast.. Hope you have a good trip..

from you local Michigan apostate..Star..
