12/15 Study WT Questions From Readers - What to do with frozen embryos

by traveb in

jw
friends

didn't see this posted already so i thought i would start a new topic.

three-page article about in vitro fertilization and what to do with frozen embryos.

the way i read it is everything to do with ivf is a conscience matter unless it involves a 3rd party then it's considered porneia.

I can't believe it, but a kid got marked for having worldy friends.

by Knowsnothing in

it's true.

last night, a kid got marked for having worldy friends.

the usual no friendship with the world texts made its way in.

Call the elders when you are in dire need of help, and they are way too busy with preparation for meeting parts and elder business. But when they think the elders think they can have some dirt on a member or if they think they get to investigate or form a committee, these dirtbags all come running ready to get their rocks off...Targeting a kid...how pathetic

Reinstatement-Curent elders please reply

by truthlover in

while being reinstated several months ago -- no restriction were given other than no commenting - service was allowed - getting over the average for the cong, not missing meetings - its been months now and the brother met recently with someof the jc members - they praised his hours and meeting attendance but because his lessons are not completely underlined, and he does make notes during the meeting, he has not been allowed to still make comments and become a fully active member of the congregation as they say this note taking is causing a problem with other members of the congregation.. have you even heard of anything so off the wall?

is this the way its done in most cong??

he thought if someone was interested enough to listen and make notes of a good point in their mags, it would be something to be referred to in the future... i know i have seen folks doing this while the lesson is being read.... .

And don't forget, he also can have the wonderful "privilege" of cleaning and mowing the hallowed grounds at the kingdumb hall, you dont have to underline and study for those wonderful nuggets of priviliges

Questions concerning 607

by beavis in

i am sorry to hash and rehash this old topic, but i have a friend that has continually asked the wt's chronology of 607 and that historians do not agree with their thoughts on their selection of this date to "fit" their ideaolgies.

could someone give me information from credible historians that absolutely prove that 607 is impossible?

this person has looked up information and what they have found so far is that most websites or some persons on this site do not show conclusively that 607 is not credible.

I have looked up this information up in the past, but did so in the library.

Any help would be useful

BETHELITES - Whatever Became of?

by Black Man in

jw
friends

i often times wonder what happened to certain bethelites that i ran around with during my 1990s tenure there.

while there are still a few left there, the greater majority of them aren't there for various reasons (marriage, disillusionment, left the borg, etc).

a couple of cats i wonder about - there was one brother who i believe was from kansas, who got his fingers cut off in a printing press.

by oneairhead in

have you ever heard of anyone running into the gb on an airliner?

i have not and so that only leads me to believe that they charter jets to move them around the world.

beavis

Not only do the GB fly, but also all of those great Bethel speakers, many of who fly first class

first class for first class jerks

Divorce fighting

by DaCheech in

jw
friends

i have a question for anyone interested in debating this:.

when a married couple wants to separate, why is it relevant in court on the reasons for it?.

if the hubsband is caught cheating, how does telling the court make a diffrence?.

beavis

Who here has been a victim of the borg's seperation/divorce policy when they in fact did nothing wrong (meaning that they did not commit the dreaded adultery) especially when the "innocent" mate was still going to the cult's meetings and the "guilty" party was not going to the meetings. With this being said, all of the cult's members would believe that the guilty party was guilty based on not going to the meetings
