  Disfellowshipping for Gluttony?

  by Smoky in

  1. social
  2. family

  is that possible?..have there been any cases like this?.

  my family have been on my case about me hanging around with people (non-jw family) that like to drink alot.

  they went as far as to call me "a drunk"...now i do admit that i have been gotten drunk before on occasion, but i am not a drunk or an alcoholic.. so, i told my mother (obese) that if i were "a drunk" for getting drunk from time to time (not every day), then can she be considered "a glutton", for eating to much, obese, having health problems, all because of the way she eats?

  Cover Letter and Letter of Disassociation.

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i am forced to either accept df'ing without any defense [i clearly have none against charges of apostasy], or to at least 'speak my mind' one last time as i exit, with a hope of perhaps helping others to 'wake up'.. to that end - i have elected to send a letter of da to the elders - but more importantly - a copy of it, with a cover letter, to several families in the congregation.

  most of these things never have a positive result, i know.

  but at least i have attempted in this way to give a little defense for my position.

  Russell's opinion about the "Signs" opposite of what's said today

  by rockhound in

  what about the "composite sign" that the society says is so much a part of matthew 24, mark 13, and luke 21?

  this sign is said to include world wars, famines, pestilences, earthquakes and increasing lawlessness...most jehovah's witnesses would be surprised to know that c. t. russell held exactly the opposite opinion to what the organization holds today.. [r596 : page 1] .

  your attitude toward the wheatlike anointed "brothers" of christ and the treatment you accord them will be the determining factor as to whether you go into "everlasting cutting-off" or receive "everlasting life.

  2520 Years

  by goodgifts in

  hi,.

  2520 years based on the prophetic year length of 360 days = 907200 days.. 907200 days from 607 bce = 1878 ce thereabouts +/- leap months etc and any other bits ive missed.. surely i've not missed that many "bits" to be 36 years off 1914??.

  have i got this right?.
