  Did you read this: How disfellowshipped family members should be treated.

  by Ianua in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the appendix of the new "keep yourselves in god's love"-book i found the following statements regarding contact to ex-jw-family members:.

  what if a relative is disfellowshipped?

  in such a case, the close bond between family members can pose a real test of loyalty.

  I can see some long debates with my mother over this one. How exactly do you defend NOT studying the bible with someone? You have to love how the only biblical defense for this action is in Proverbs.

  in another thread (i forget which), someone mentioned that somebody committed suicide at bethel.

  Yea I believe on Randy's site a few of the Bethelites mention people jumping or killing themselves in passing. I think the post about suicide your referring to was the one where the kid jumped and the Society claimed his body. Anyways needless to say there was no proof they did that.

  Jesus mentioned it so it MUST be true... ?

  by LtCmd.Lore in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  something i don't get... when discussing the accuracy of the flood myth, and the story of jonah, bible believers, dubs for example, will claim that it must be true because jesus mentioned it.. here's what i don't get: isn't it possible that jesus was simply refferencing a fictional event that everyone around him would be familiar with?.

  i do it all the time!

  with my family i will make reference to events in star trek, mash, or whatever as if they actually occurred.. like: "hey i just met someone at work, he was just like frank burns.".

  Yea, me and my Mom had a big argument about this where she kept up the "it must be true" argument. I kept countering with "what does it matter?". Obviously I got nowhere.

  This board never ceases to amaze me. In a section titled Jokes and Humor a good joke gets turned in to a "serious" conversation.

  I also would love a scan. Anytime the society tries to reach out to disaffected youth hilarity always ensues.

  American Politics...leave it to the Americans

  by Who are you? in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  simons board rules "if you don't like the policies, you are free to leave" sounds a lot like the neocons battle cry of "my country love it or leave it"...the irony is palpablesimon's disdain of american political ideology is understandable.

  i remember on my first of dozens of trips to europe, standing in line to board the ferry that crossed lake chiemsee to one of king ludwig's castles.

  though we were talking quietly, it became apparent that we were a couple of americans mixed in with the german majority.

  Exactly...this is my only problem with it, I am as liberal as they get but I just don't agree with the policy that neocons and republicans can't express their view.

  My brother and his friend were very taking aback by this book. Amazing.
