Some again of their stupid policies
They are trying to live in accordance with 2000 year old social morals and laws. The world has changed dramatically since that time, has it not.
well if you divorce there's no re-marrying unless you can show your ex has commited adultery.
do they expect video footage, or pictures like the"cheaters" style t.v show.
do you need "2 witnesses" as the bible states.

the chinese government not only forces women who become pregnant with a 2nd child to have an abortion, they also make her eat the fetus after the procedure.. .
sometimes i wonder if i can keep putting up the facade, but comments like this just make the meetings worth while.
There was a TV program I remember that showed that some distant villages in China were in fact eating aborted fetuses as a type of dietary supplement
in herbal shops. They didn't show any kind of pressure on those mothers to eat the fetuses though , strange but the whole thing looked legit.
I think this was going on because of the adverse poverty in some of these out the place villages, it seems in that apparent culture that they will try and
sell just about anything if they think they can make some money from it, sad but true.
i was pondering this after an aa meeting the other day.
a couple of the 12 steps involve working constantly to improve our conscious contact with god.
they do not seek him out, go into a guide place to seek his guidence.
Good comment Mr. Green
Maybe it's because they are trying to live in accordance with 2000 year old social morals and ideologies. The world has changed dramatically since that time.
It operates it self too much like a business
it's starting to become harder and harder to hang out with witnesses.
all their talk about how evil the world is, etc.
i was at a gathering last night, and this older couple was their talking about how their granddaughter came back because she got a taste of how the world was, her so-called friends were freeloading off her and stealing her stuff.
To say making your way out of this religion is easy is an understatement, I just quietly walked away without a mummer and let the family and friends continue on
I just respectfully said no thank you I still consider Witnesses friendly acquittance's, even though my closest of are not JWS.
I just consider it their problem to solve and let it be at that.........and it is theirs.
how many of you know of instances where total devotion to the borg resorted in financial ruin?.
here is an example of what one family i knew had to do to survive:.
and this family is still in the borg.
Discernible fractured lives, all based on contrived lies and deception, shameful is it not, yet the apathy continues as well as the incoming money.
i am so sick of jw's thinking all past errors (false teaching) are no big deal cause we have "new "light " on the matter now.
recently even my elder/dad said he wonded at times if some of our past teachings that did not pan out could be considered "false teaching!!!
" i got excited and instead of saying "duhhh", just said it seemed like it could be, and that is how/why we examine the pasts of other religions as well.
When you sit on the apparent throne of God you can get away with anything, there is no penalty to pay if you present false doctrines to the general public
the business boys in Brooklyn are well aware of this. Where is the Judicial Committee that looks over them ?
i think the originators of the watchtower like c.t.russell was just a power playing opportunist using his public persona as a revered to push.
his own inquired ideologies and did in fact utilized his profession as a salesman in promotion of his magazines with the company " tower publishing ".
a good plausible guess would be most of his biblical ideologies were contrived with the idea of pushing the sales of the literature, some might argue the point that.
You got it Greendawn
hello people.
since i have a justice streak a mile long, after reading about this little weasel getting off in a hung jury today on a murder charge, just had to comment on the lack of justice in our society.
it seems in this country, if you are a star ex-athlete guilty of killing his ex-wife , or a famous singer guilty alledgedly of molesting kids over the years, or in spectors case a record producer with constantly bad hairstyles, it seems as if you can avoid punishment with the right connections or amount of money that buys top attorneys.
I think the prosecution flubbed the case badly, they may proceeded along not aggressively enough thinking they a locked up case with that witness
The biggest problem with prosecuting the rich is they can afford better lawyers.
I don't think he's that screwed in the head that if he found the woman shot, pick up the gun and start to walk outside and say I think I shot someone.
One thing I didn't hear in the case is a test to see if he had any gun power residue on his hands.....strange

he really did have an honest belief, but I kind of think once a salesman always a salesman. In any case his lawyer Rutherford saw the potential power of the organization
so when Russell died he grabbed it with zeal including the incoming money that it was making and there you have the JWS, the printing machines haven't stopped since.
A publishing empire disguised as a religion !
no, i'm not here to defend them.
but you know how they love to get off on technicalities.
i'm sure all here would agree that the wt is extremely evasive, misleading, and intellectually dishonest (i.e.
