A spiritual man does not wear colourful socks.

we encourage all to be examples to the flock.. jesus stated, as recorded in matt 5:29 .

' if, now, your right eye is making you stumble, tear it out and throw it away from you.+ for it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to be pitched into gehenna'.. we certainly do not want to stumble or, worse yet, be a stumbling block to the congregation.

evidently jesus was stating a principle here in matthew that he intended true christians to apply to all aspects of their lives and not just their eyes.

"Jesus said to him: 'If you want to be perfect, go sell your belongings and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come be my follower' ". - JESUS CHRIST Matthew 19:21 NWT revised 2013

Anthony Morris III should be ashamed of himself. Nowhere in the Bible is Jesus concerned with socks, suits or spandex. People could respect the Governing Body and the individuals that make it up if they were more concerned with JESUS teachings rather than their own pharisaical pontifications. LogCon, the photos that you posted are an indictment of the lack of compassion for individual human beings in need from men like Anthony Morris. Yes who really is a 'spiritual man'? Someone that doesn't wear brightly colored socks or someone that cares for his fellow man?

With an 'elephant trunk' like Tony is packing, I think he is in the wrong business. What is the main study article in this edition of the Watchtower? CIRCUMCISION - IS IT FOR TRUE CHRISTIANS?

why else would he constantly bring up "gay-inspired" clothing when speaking to such large audiences?.

nothing wrong with being gay.

but he should just come out of the closet already and stop all this stupidity... just saying.. .

I can't stand the sight of Anthony Morris III and his speaking style makes me want to vomit. However, read this article and you may view what he said in his talk in a whole new light. I'm not defending him........................

He also criticized women for wearing tight pants, so he must secretly be straight as well.-Apognophos

Maybe he has bi-sexual leanings and he is so repressed that he fears being turned on sexually by either men or women. Only he knows for sure and the rest is only speculation by anyone posting here; including me.

I am not a big fan of Sigmund Freud but he had some good insights into human behavior and thinking. The part on PROJECTION seems very telling in regards to what comes out of Anthony Morris's mouth.

I don't Anthony Morris is 'gay'. In fact I don't think he is 'happy' at all.

Will the Watchtower Society ever come clean to its members?

It looks like the Mormon Church is being forced to come clean about some of their history because of the internet. I love this line of reasoning from the article: "The church's acknowledgement is part of an effort to be more open about its history as members increasingly encounter claims about the faith on the internet." Will Anthony Morris III and his fellow Governing Body members follow suit and come clean about some of the 'dirty laundry' found in the history of Jehovah's Witnesses? Only time will tell. Comments anyone?

My biggest gripe with the bible!

by thedepressedsoul in

this book can literally be used to fit whatever agenda you have!

you can pull a scripture from here or there and apply it to what you want to do or what your agenda is.

i can't believe i never noticed how bad this was within jw.

Have you never heard the old saying: "The bible is like a fiddle, you can play any old tune on it"?

Is the WTS effectively 'pimping out' sisters?

by Simon in

i can't remember the topic with the discussion about the talk where they suggested that sisters should only consider ministerial servants as potential marriage partners but think about the implications more.. are they trying to use the potential affections of sisters to enourage brothers to do more and work harder?.

isn't this a form of 'pimping out' the sisters by limiting their attention to the people contributing to them?.

it seems to cross a line to me but i guess it's not vastly different to "only marry another jw".. what do you think?.

sparky1

Heck, I remember in the 60's some witnesses saying that you should not get married until after Armageddon. That way if a potential marriage mate survived Armageddon you would know that they were really 'spiritual' and that they loved Jehovah. Some things never change, they just get 'spun' differently. Same $hit, different day.
