Do Jehovah's Witnesses crave an 'Amish Paradise'?
by Gill in
1. jw
2. friends
from as long as i remember the watchtower society has painted an idyllic rural scene for their future existence on the planet earth, free from the non jehovah servers that live now.. my mother regularly talks about her 'little donkey and cart' that she's going to own in the 'new system of things'.. so do the jehovah's witnesses dream of living in an 'amish paradise' minus the amish, of course?.

do they have any idea what kind of nightmare existence that entails, especially adding on top of that five meetings a week, continuing fs, studying etc?.

What is your town or area's claim to fame?
by free2beme in
1. jw
2. friends
every where you live, the local area has something about it that is either famous for something good or something bad.

as an example, you go to one town and it may have the historial site of a famous war battle.

you go to another an it might be the place something was invented, or the birthplace of someone famous.

Could we have stumbled onto the reason behind the higher education thing ?
by Forscher in
1. jw
2. friends
in the mid 1990s the wtbts backed-off just a little bit on its stance about higher education publically while it was still discouraged unofficially.

now, all of a sudden they are publically clamping back down.

and coincidentally they are clamping back down just as ben schroeder was entering his final year or years at columbia law school.

WTS SAYS ELDERS SINS DON'T COUNT!
by Amazing in
1. jw
2. friends
sometime ago i posted a discussion on h20 about the nov. 1991 kingdom ministry school for elders / ms held at woodburn, oregon.

during that school session the co stated that elders who commit a serious sin, even a gross sin, did not have to be removed if the event took place two or three years prior, and the elder continued to be respected, giving evidence of jehovahs blessing.

the co stipulated that this only applied to elders and ms and not to regular publishers.
