did it get dealt with at all? are the offenders still out there ? have they been dealt with by the law? i was just wondering because sooo many of them get away, if you were offended did you take it into your own hands and bypass the elders and go to the police? if not is it too late now?

I know alot of the bastards get away because no elders have the guts to do their bloody job and it sickens me, my best mates family had trouble with a sicko like that and i cant beleive the way people knew but it didnt worry them what he did, i mean like familys and mothers would talk to him, (im pretty sure they knew what happened).

Big Tex -

I remember being interested in the subject a few months ago and looking into it alot, i cant remember what the websites were that i was looking at, but i remember that there was no actual proof that you could be born gay, it was said that there is more proof saying that you cant be.

Is abortion an unforgivable sin?

by e_louise in

hi all i'm a newbie with a question:.

please ban you tell me if an unbaptized publisher has an abortion is this an unforgivable sin?.

what would happen to the publisher if another jw reports them or they confess since they are not baptized?.

Sam87

i agree with you mouthy, but at the same time that doesnt give us a free ticket to do what we want and then we can regret it later and everything is ok

Hi there, for me personaly the way i see abortion is as murder, because you are ending that childs life, some argue that it is part of the mothers body and she can do what she likes, but that isnt so, the child is an individual growing inside the mother, its not her body.

In the end i know sometimes a pregnancy can be unwanted (definatly in the really bad cases, rape), but at the same time i think you have to keep it because it is a person, and to me its no different to killing a 2, 3, 10, 20 year old person, there isnt any difference if the person is murdered 6 months before birth or 6 months after birth, the life is still being ended. its still a person just the same way me and you are, and even though it might not be convenient or easy to accept its wrong to have an abortion in. (thats my opinion)

As for being disfellowshipped, you have to be baptised first, but i dont think thats what id worried about id be alot more worried about the childs welfare and future life. (and the state of my consience)

Panic Attacks

by AudeSapere in

a co-worker says she's been having panic attacks lately and is quite concerned about them.. she was given a prescription for atarax to use 'as needed' but it didn't help any.. i wonder if anyone here has had - or knows someone who has had - these sort of attacks.. what sort of symptoms were experienced?

what treatment worked??

what didn't work???.

Sam87

that sounds bad, maybe try something natural, ive found that can help me with stress and anxiety try ''rescue remedy'' i found that really worked.

Could a JW be disfellowshipped for lack of "Faith"?

by JH in

jw
friends

lets say that a jw tells an elder that he prays and nothing happens.

then he tells the elder, that after praying so often and asking for reasonable things, i don't believe anymore that god answers prayers, because i was honest in my prayer and god didn't grant me what i wanted.

i was just wondering if an elder could see this as "lack of faith", which then could be a good reason to disfellowship someone.. .

Sam87

yeah that whole ''no answering up = spiritual weakness crap'' i remember having a conversation with one of my mates about girls, we were talking about what we would like in a girlfriend (or something like that) anyway he said he wanted someone that was ''good in the truth'' in reference probablyto someone who answers up and goes out witnessing!
