  CAN YOU BE DISFELLOWSHIPPED AND STILL BE EFFECTIVE

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in view of the fact that bill bowen and others who have supported the silentlambs agenda have been disfellowshipped, do you think this means the end of their effectiveness?

  comments on the board suggest that now, jw's won't come forward to bill because witnesses won't want to talk to a disfellowshipped person.

  and some have said that this was the reason why they were fighting their disfellowshipping.

  Using The Word "Coward"

  by twain30 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one circuit overseer recently stated that those who are speaking against "mother" are such cowards that they can't even use their names, they hide their identity!

  so why would you want to listen to degenerates like that?.

  this called some interesting thoughts to mind: were the french resistance cowards because they hid their identities from the nazis?

  A Little Greek is a Dangerous Thing

  by Stephanus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  (apologies to any little greeks!

  you know what i mean - a guy who's had no formal training in biblical greek who keeps digging up "treasures from the original".

  i gave a couple of examples in the greek synonyms thread.. i once had an argument (by mail) with a christadelphian who was arguing that the use of the middle voice in a verse in hebrews meant that jesus had to die for his own salvation, not that of anyone else!

  The Phrase "Present Truth"

  by twain30 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am puzzled by the expression, "present truth" as used buy the wbts.

  for example: "we must keep in step with present truth.

  " now to me something is either true, partially true, or untrue.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  first, you need to identify some outward signs of mental illness and then find ways to encourage their manifestation.

  paranoia: remember, you live in a world controlled by the devil and.

  his demons.
