  Will Remarrying Lead to DFing?

  by compound complex in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the wtb&ts states in this or that circumstance* the offended jw may separate or divorce but never remarry.

  neither can the discarded mate remarry.. what could the local congregation do if they learned that either one of the above (faded, ex, whatever) remarries?.

  *one's physical or spiritual life (usually that of the wife) is endangered; one (always the husband) refuses to provide for one's family, .... thanks,.

  What do you think of todays youth?

  by dawg in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as many of you know, i live in a college town and therefore i'm around people much younger than me almost all day.

  here's one thing i've noticed, the youth today have left the god of the bible behind.

  they have been brought up in a world where information is available at a very rapid rate and have already figured out the biblical god is a fairy tale.

  I must agree with anewme Old people always try to claim that "youth today" just wasn't what it used to be! Let me tell you Dawg in non-college towns there are a lot of kids my age and younger who still believe in God and vote for the likes of Bush especially here in NC. Unless your actually in and around a large liberally college (not that GT is liberal) your going to find your typical run of the mill pro Christian army fatigue wearing patriots.

  Oh God, too many pressure tactics too count! My Dad almost never pressured me but my Mom always did. I think the most obvious was trying to do a family study night once a week...yea that shit lasted like maybe 3 or 4 weeks in a row at a time. We just were not good at doing "family activities" of any kind let alone a boring study.

  Understood Tuesday..Leo brings up another good point. The one thing I really disagree with Joel on is this statement:

  the footage has to come from a universally well-known and established source and be used to illustrate a social commentary or analysis and not be used for entertainment value or simply a means to tell or move your story forward.

  I am pretty sure this wrong. It doesn't have to be universally well-known. It also can be a means to move the story forward so long as it is illustrating social commentary. I still stand that it would be legal under The De Minimis Defense that is the segment in question was so small no one would even know it where it was from and therefore wouldn't hurt the producers of Knocking. Either way Joel should just come right and say, "hey it's my film and I have a legal right to decide who can use it and who can't.". It's America and if he wants to do it he can. Just don't pretend like your trying to be even handed if your not.

  Could the videos posted be promotional clips? This could be why Knocking does not have a problem with it, because they were cut with the intent of promotion? Just putting it out there.

  i have two true strange stories.. the first story is of this guy (lets call him bob) that comes to the portland oregon exjw "meet up group.".

  the strange thing about bob is he has never been a jw...or ever wanted to be.

  i have been a lurker for a few months.

  my story is not uncommon, just the usual "skinned and thrown about like sheep without a shepherd".

  the many different viewpoints have helped me sort things out in my own mind and gone a long way toward the healing of my heart.. just wanted to introduce myself and express my appreciation for this site.. ataloa.

  hidden illustrations in the watchtower magazine

  by Wendy_Warden in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i have been visiting the site of the six screens of the watchtower and one of the things they speak about under screen three (i think) is the hidden pictures in the illustrations contained in the awake and watchtower mags.

  i was blown away but what they found.

  however, i don't want to seem paranoid about it go some of you should go and see it for yourselves and see if i'm crazy.

  There is hidden satanic imagery in anything if you look hard enough. I think the whole Watchtower imagery has been throughly debunked by Penton.

  Well in the media packet he points out some criticisms. I think the main thrust of his video though was to inform the public about their beliefs. The majority of criticisms are with theological things and not black and white issues such as human rights. I can understand why he wouldn't though I don't agree with it.
