  justsomedude,

  if you are a guy, then the reason they didnt ask many questions is because you are a guy. hearing the sordid details from a girl is alot more titilating dont you think? maybe seanguy's elders were more into him? lol

  I went through the same thing, they asked the same questions. they ask all those questions to find out Exactly what happened, without leaving out major details that could have an effect on the decision. When they asked me, I told them exactly what happened...every detail. And they could easily tell I was disgusted at what I did and I wanted to do everything nessasary to move past this. I was privately reproved. It's all in your attitude, you had a non-repentant attitude, and either justified what you did, or blamed it on your father or the elders. That's why you were df'd, you are a perfect example of why they ask specific questions like that-it brings out your true colors...

  SeanGuy

  Yes, and they ''need'' all the details to make the right decision pffffffffffft...great thinking there GENIUS seanGuy,, did you get off on the questioning as much as they did? They dont NEED specifics to see if a person is repentent!

  The only question they FORGOT to ask you is how SMALL YOUR DICK IS...because that's JUST AS RELEVANT as the rest of their line of questioning!

  And of course you werent DF'd, because you're MALE.

  They probably need you to be their little joe-boy servant in a few months...

  SeanGuy, you're a TROLL, but keep reading, YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY LEARN SOMETHING!

  How far would they go?

  by barbar in

  a while ago my mother said that if the society asked the jws to do something that was wrong they wouldn't do it.

  it is already easy for them to go against their own consciences, many don't feel it is right to shun others but they do it because they are told to.

  most would feel dreadful with letting their children die but would do it if blood was needed because the society tells them to.

  I think that if the society told members to kill members of the world, or gasp! apostates...

  I bet some are crazy enough to jump on that bandwagon. and you KNOW there are many certifiably crazy people in the troof!!

  But it would wake up alot of other reasonable JW's and cause them to start questioning the WTBTS doctrines and teachings...

  Not that I think they would ever do that, since the writing commitee is made up of mostly lawyers...(that is conjecture on my part).

  Has any contemporary, modern day scientist said, "The earth is flat."?? they would be the laughing stock of the entire world.. NO one would take them seriously ever again.

  likening the WTBS to scientists is like comparing President Bush's, or Paris Hilton's IQ to that of a 4.0 Harvard/Yale/Columbia graduate.

  excellent letter tsof,

  I was deeply moved by it...and emailed it to some members of my family that are still active jdubs.

  as for grissoms comments - someone probably peed in grissoms cornflakes that morning, or something you said really hit a nerve...

  you know, the nerve where they realize that you are smarter than they could ever dream of being, therefore, lash out with their limited vocabulary, further proving their stupidity.

  I hope your emails were received and were read, keep us posted!

  The wages of sin

  by oldflame in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i had a heavy thought the other day in a discussion with some friends.

  the question was this.

  if the wages of sin is death for humans then why do animals die ?

  We, just as the animals, have a built-in time limit. Where does it say Adam and Even were created "perfect?" They supposedly could live forever only if they ate from the tree of life. How come God put it there, and later blocked them from it, if they were designed to live forever anyway?
  
  And while Jesus was free from sin (holy), he was still a human who did not eat from the tree of life. So, if he hadn't been murdered, I believe he would have aged and died just as any other human, animal or plant.

  That's a neat line of reasoning, Sue, and it makes sense.

  Need a little education- What does it mean to be a publisher?

  2. friends

  i've been going to meeting with my jw husband, and have heard the term at the kh.

  and now i have heard it here.

  i don't want to ask my husband because it just gives him a reason to preach (witness) to me.. .

  The JW meaning of the word "publisher" refers to a person who submits to the Watchtower's self-appointed authority, promotes Watchtower propaganda, silently obeys Watchtower dictates, reports propagandist activity to the Watchtower, and has no life beyond the Watchtower.

  Soooooo true!

  When you are raised as a JW, as a child you can become a ''publisher''. I became a publisher at 12, but many children can be much younger and become a publisher.

  All it means is that you officially report the time you put in the door to door work. (everyone who is a publisher, baptized or unbaptized, must turn in a monthly report.)

  They write down the amount of hours they put in, and the number of publications/magazines they place with people, and if any - the number of bible studies they have with other interested persons.

  There is a report slip that all publishers fill out, and put into a box at the KingdomHall at the end of every month.

  You must be a publisher before getting baptized.
