  Why are Witnesses better at being "Mean" than being "Nice"?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if the elders tell the congregation to shun someone, they will do a good job at it.. if the elders tell the congregation to be good to one another and forgive one another, it doesn't always happen.. if someone is in need in the congregation, it doesn't mean that they will be helped.. so, why are the witnesses better at being mean or insensitive, rather than nice and caring and generous?.

  my sister is not a witness.

  she is of another religion, and when someone in the congregation needs help, they go full speed ahead to help.

  what were some of the worst experiences you had with ex spouses or ex boyfriends/girlfriends?

  one of my ex girlfriends just left me suddenly without ever saying anything in advance and i never saw her again for a long time and that happened by coincidence.

  her disappearence was totally unexpected.

  Judicial Committees

  by Honesty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in light of the following scriptures regarding jesus, how do judicial committees and their members composed of three elders even remotely follow jesus' teaching and example?.

  at dawn he went to the temple complex again, and all the people were coming to him.

  he sat down and began to teach them.. then the scribes and the pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, making her stand in the center.

  Sex in 1914

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a loyal witness, my dear departed mother sincerely believed in the "worse and worse" mantra.

  somehow, despite the history.

  of u.s. warfare, slaughter of native americans, dominance of urban gangs and lynching of blacks - the world was somehow better.

  The worst films you watched

  by greendawn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we often talk about the best films that we have seen but what about the opposite, what were some films that really disappointed you either at the cinema or at home watching them from a dvd (or vhs though that got outdated now)?

  one film i found very boring was the "horse whisperer".

  Attitudes of JCs

  by rhian in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i just finished reading crisis of conscience.

  i had read half of it but never finished; something i read on this forum prompted me to pick it up & finish it.. my question is this: i'm curious, for those who have had experience with judicial committees, what has been the prevailing attitude?

  franz wrote about the lack of brotherly love in both the committees at hq in ny and in the cong in alabama.. i've had two experiences; won't go into the details for the sake of brevity.
