So when they say this is the 1st time a member who held no position? Are they admitting members who hold
position have been sued.
now, we realize things are tough right now for you guys, but...you are telling the world how unfair the recent damages awarded against you are because he was not in a position of responsability "this is the first time that an organization was found responsible for the alleged misdeeds of a member who held no position of leadership or authority''.
11 the second question asks the candidate, first of all, if he understands that his baptism serves to identify him as one of jehovahs witnesses.
after undergoing immersion, he becomes an ordained minister who bears jehovahs name.

just plain old corporate denial.
let the games begin.. .
I agree with Billy the ex-bethelite
He is a "Ordained minister of Jehovah's Witnesses"
Just like a Roman Catholic priest is "Ordained minister.
How many are/will be baptised at this years district conventions will be called "You are now an Ordained minister of Jehovah's Witnesses"
That to me is a position in the cong.
Maybe not to the ones that are brain dead in the cult.However,with all the bad news about
the wbts will instill in peoples mind NOT to join this religion.Thus in the western world their #'s will be down.
full disclosure:.
i am an active (2-4 hrs/month) 3rd generation jw hovering under the radar.
been posting here for 10 years.
Also does not the wbts say it is a sin if we don't warn someone of danger.(preaching about the end)
Warn people if you know the road is washed away.
The wbts says they keep the cong clean by warning the members of someone that
is DF from the platform.Not talk to him/her.
WHY WHY NOT warn them of a sicko PEDO.

R a D Says "I am really torn on this"... because of the numerous lawsuits for slander and libel.
Maybe they (society) should look at their policy of disfellowshipping,breaking up families.They deserve to be suited.
Are you more concern about lawsuits and protecting a corrupt organization than protecting little children.(families)
of course watchtower lawyer says it's not over yet, we are going to appeal.
thats what they are suppose to say.
but wat is going to want to put this nightmare behind them as fast as they can.
Maybe I am wrong but the wbts admits it done wrong but they are appealling the amount they have to pay.
how can we imitate the loyalty.
in our loyalty to our marriage.
your marriage mate.
Thanks Blondie!
Q11 talk about worshipping men.Pts in WT from FDS hard to understand.Yeah.because they are not in the bible.Like FDS understanding of the length of a generation.Like the FDS saying the generation that saw 1914 will not pass away(die).
Q17 Do you think he came back after 10 years to worship the FDS or he was pulling the wool over their eyes so he could talk to family.
some of their comments.. leaders of professed christian religions charge a fee for religious services.these may include baptisms,weddings or funerals.. but does the bible support such customs of charging for religious services or even of making people feel obligated to pay.yet,at the same time,they professed divine backing.. in the time of micah,priests "instructed just for a price"jehovah was not a supporter,he detested their conduct.. today many religious leaders resort to the same greedy tactics.. however,jehovah's witnesses obtain needed funds through voluntary donations.they do not charge for their literature or religious.
services.they don't tithe or pass a collection plate.. tell me how this relates to their charging for c.a.
or sad now d.c..
I apologize for my english grammar deficienices.
The point I was trying to make is the hypocrisy of the wbts found in the awake June 2010 p.22/23.
mp: don/t get me started on the bible.When I read it,it gives diarrhrea and brain farts.
sir82:Let me explain.Assembly Halls are built for worship/bible ed/fs.They are paid for clear title in a few years.
Plenty of money in the maintenance fund via resolution.X dollars/month/publisher.
IS NOT A C.A. PART OF OUR WORSHIP.Why is a financial statement given at ea C.A. for heavy duty expense for
the C.A.?When all expenses are covered as per above.Is that not the same as charging for a religious servive.
Someone can explain how they raise the RFP(CAPITAL) via pledges/wills/estates.
The free literture,not until after 1990 in the USA when they lost a court case with(.......).They were charging for it in other places after that date.

don't count on too much mercy my fine featherd friends,,,hehehe,,,lol...!after your reinstated,it will take 20 to 30 years before the dubs start to forget your sorted past.....and you all know this right?so why bother crawling back with you little tail between your legs,so a bunch of glorious elders can save face before the rank and file?no one should be df okay,as this was not the teachings of jesus,only paul who wrote this stuff,but could some wacko in the last 2000 years have inserted this satanic practice into the scriptures to control the masses and manipulate them?the apostle paul wrote too many contradictions in his writings,so why trust in anything that he wrote about?why trust the gb in hq/nyc as to their writings in these past 130 years,since everything that they wrote about is all lies,,,hehehe lol...!who is going to disfellowship them in the hq department for being liars?maybe jehovah will do it in his own due time?.
Not sure if this will fit here or maybe I should start a new topic.
It is all to do with honour.However I'll put it this way.....Honour-killing phenomenon (patriachal custom).
Its,despicable,heinous.A twisted concept of honour.No place in civilized society.However,they claim it is req'd to purify
the name of the family.Protect family reputation.It's a horrific tradition of cleansing families tainted honour..
Concept of family honour justifies the act in their eyes.
Females in the family suppport the attacks.Its a community mentality.
Now use your imagination an substitue applicable terms and see if the outcome is not horrific victimization.
