vow of poverty scanned from 2002 documents.
i believe these are the latest ones unless someone has a newer one.
i posted these in another thread but i thought it deserved its own.. ocrd with 98% accuracy.... initial cover page 1 of 4. vow of obedience and povertyto the.
Making a vow like this to a Religious institution , surely has no legal obligations that could be enforced in a court of law .
Correct me if I am wrong.
I made a vow /a pledge when I was a pre-teen to a Congregationalist Church , not to drink , smoke , and to live a moral life from then on.
I`m pretty sure they can`t take me to court and sue me now ,(can they ? ) LOL
carla , their was something recently about that ,the word order ,and it`s legit. I was surprised also to know that.

three days ago, we could read about a great new book on wt doctrinal changes here: .
https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/6217992945795072/ever-changing-teachings-jehovahs-witnesses-probably-most-comprehensive-compendium-about-watchtower-doctrinal-changes.
this book is not the only one in its kind, but it truly kicks ass!

Stop nit-picking , you know Jehovah`s heavenly forces used the Roman army to destroy Jerusalem and he will do so at Armageddon. (not the Roman army of course) or is it the earthly forces that cause the heavenly forces to act .
We will have to wait for nu-lite.
What I want to know is , whose face is that tied around his waistcoat ? ( Subliminal image ? )
Also, with the obvious problem Jehovah`s earthly organization, the WTB&TS , has with beards , how is it that the Heavenly organization from Jehovah God down , are all depicted with beards in all of their illustrations.?

they did an excellent job of the first day of convention.
imo.
i grade them a+ in shunning your dfd children.
jw's want to begin a study through their new "what does the bible really teach?
" book.
should a non-jw study with them just to point out the contradictions and muddled thinking in the book?
Welcome AmyWatson916
Trying to reason with a Jehovah`s Witness is like talking to a brick wall .
Reminds me of my Orthodox Jewish friend over in Israel praying at the "wailing wall" .
Bobbing his head in prayer at the wall as they do , praying for peace among the Palestinians and the Jews ,for seven straight days .
I asked him how it went , no bloody good he replied , it was just like talking to a brick wall .
I hope you enjoy yourself at this site

why in this 21st century are we still cow towing to religions that are based in the distant past, of thousands of years ago , whether it be christian islam or whatever.?
and not to restrict it to just those two , but all ancient religions.. all of them are hypocritical , on the one hand rejecting modern day society and it`s technology and on the other hand embracing it for their own advantage .. when is the human race ever going to rid itself of pie in the sky beliefs.?.

Thank you wifibandit ,
It gives us food for thought as to how to answer JW`s when they call at our doors.
Not that anything has changed as I see it for the past 50 years or more.
