Maybe the Elders from the original committee can appear as character witnesses for old Henricus. But your Honor, this is a travesty of justice. We found him not guilty already in a much higher court that supercedes 'worldly' systems of justice. After all we Elders are directly appointed by Jehovahs Holy Spirit and we found him not guilty. After all , she never screamed. So technically she is the guilty one. We demand that you throw this case out of court and stop bringing reproach on Jehovahs name! IT'S ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU SICK.

Hey Brainfloss I know where there is a tract for you. On Tuesday they were out doing tract work across from where I work. I watched a young woman whom I know by sight TIMIDLY tap on a door where the people WERE home. No one came to the door so I watched her stick the tract in the door. A short time later a young man that lives in the house came out through the door and the tract blew onto the lawn. It is still on the lawn even as I type! If you want I will go across the street and pick it up off their lawn before it blows away!!

A QUESTION I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANSWERED BY JWs
by NAVYTOWN inthe jws make such a big deal about not taking (eating) blood in any form.
that being the case, shouldn't they avoid eating steaks?
even a well- done steak still contains the animals blood.

What happens if you are passionately kissing your partner and you 'knick' their tongue or lips and thereby draw blood ,taking a small amount into your own mouth? Must you confess to the Elders? Could this be a whole new category of 'sin' that the Elders can 'salivate' over when they grill the publisher to see if they are repentant. At least three new categories of sin can appear in the Elders Manual:
1. Inaproppriate kissing as loose conduct with misuse of blood.
2. Fornication, kissing and misuse of blood.
3. Adultery, kissing and misuse of blood.
Oh....the possibilities are endless!

A Kindlier More Gentle Jehovah?
by sparky1 in"for you must not prostrate yourself to another god, because jehovah, whose name is jealous, he is a jealous god," exodus 34:14 nwt 1984 edition.
"you must not bow down to another god, for jehovah is known for requiring exclusive devotion.
yes, he is a god who requires exclusive devotion.

Thanks bioflex for making my post understandable in such a succinct way and for adding to the idea of his many names. My contention is that the NWT 2013 revised goes through all sorts of linguistic gymnastics in order to make Jehovah God appear the way that Jehovahs Witnesses theological teachings and interpretations need and want him to appear.

Hahahaha! 'Meat fractions.' Does that mean that the new privilege for elders will be to serve on the Regional Butchers Liason Committee.

Telephone Conversations Today with 2 Elders Re: Shunning - Or Not?
by abbasgreta inmy alcoholic and aged jw mother is now extremely ill and is being cared for in every respect by my non-jw brother.
3 sisters visited him yesterday and were adamant.
that i (disassociated and shunned by her for nearly 3 years) was able to 'visit her any time' and that ' there was nothing to stop me seeing her' as long as i. didn't discuss spiritual things with her.

Show them who is a better Christian or loving Humanist and do what you know to be the right thing. Do you really care about their stupid rules anyway? Real principled love is never constrained by rules and regulations.
