  My Facebook Page, "God is not divided" is not responded to.

  by shechaiyah in

  i thought the topic of religion would be a great one for facebook.. wow, was i wrong about that.. http://www.facebook.com/pages/god-is-not-divided/112694992130588.

  the only people are show any interest at all are catholics.. witnesses seem to avoid every venue where somebody else might show up.. zionists do likewise; but they have a different reason.. but, god yhvh is god of the whole earth, is my point.. anybody got any idea what i can do to stimulate godly conversation on my page?.

  i'm tryin' to minister to the merely-confused as witnesses do out in service.. .

  Seems to me you're asking in the wrong place. Why not ask God?

  Shepherd, most English translations use the words "good" and "evil" when telling the temptation story. That's not the same as "right" and "wrong".

  Why is this surprising? WT has "always" said that. Adam and Eve were placed in the Garden, given directions on managing the land and the creatures, then told they could eat from every tree except one...and that's the limiting directive. They didn't need rules, they were in charge...they made the rules, or were supposed to, anyway. Were you taught something different by WT?

  that it's "jewel-ry"... and not "joo-lery" (may you all have peace!)?

  i know, i know... very small potatoes in the grand scheme of things.

  but, dang, if you're gonna host a television jewelry show, shouldn't you at least be able to say "jewelry"?

  This is the part I don't get...why haven't they gone after the mom? Surely she knew the child didn't belong in the house with them! I read that she's now in a nursing home, and has been for three years, but still....

  Brother Garrido's mum was a Dub too. Living in the house with them.

  i had a great news at work, i will have few more responsabilities and more money !

  :) also, i am starting a new business and i have a couple of clients already, so, i was telling this great news to my jw mom and she told me : dont get too proud of your financial success... be humble , remember is all jehovah's blessing .

  i agree that good things are happening to me now, but is also the result of my hard work and responsability, and according to my jw mom i cannot be proud of it??

  Your mother said it's all Jehovah's blessing? Use it. Every time she gives you grief, remind her that you have Jehovah's blessing!

  Holy Spirit in Judicial Committees

  by Mr. Falcon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one of the most controversial practices of jehovah's witnesses is the operation of judicial committees.

  these specially-assigned inquisitory boards are manned by at least 3 elders and interrogate, investigate and finally prosecute a person believed to be guilty of any number of offenses.

  these offenses can be anything from heavy drinking, masturbation, swearing to infidelity, apostacy even issues of bloodguilt.

  WT says that baptism is a symbol of a person's dedication to God (and to The Organization, according to the 1985 baptism questions).

  If God throws someone out of his organization (DF'ing), then doesn't it stand to reason that the person would have to be rebaptized to get back in?

  Since WT doesn't require rebaptizing, isn't that evidence that their God has not thrown that person aside, that only The Organization has done so?

  Anyway, that's how I reasoned it nearly 20 years ago and it completely changed my perspective on disfellowshipping, on committees, and on the notion that elders on judicial committees had any portion of Jehovah's Holy Spirit.
