  Is a child up for adoption supposed to promise love & respect to the potential father?

  by discreetslave in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  tuesday, october 4. offer your very selves to him: a living sacrifice, dedicated and fit for his acceptance.rom.

  12:1, the new english bible.. before someone who is alienated from god can become a member of gods family of approved servants, he first needs to make a solemn promise to jehovah.

  to understand why, imagine a respectable father who shows kind interest in an orphaned youth and wishes to adopt him as a member of his own family.

  Shunning..... at Meetings ???

  by IMHO in

  can someone explain why jws shun disfellowshipped ones when they are at their meetings (i.e.

  making moves to come back)?.

  i can understand why you may not want to 'socialize' with ones who do not share your beliefs.. but surely shunning such ones at the 'meetings'; assuming they are not there to cause trouble, is unloving; should they not be welcomed like the prodigal son.. true christians are known by the 'love' they show.

  i gave a "good witness " yesterday !

  by looloo in

  2. friends

  a workmate was telling me she had a friend who became a jw years ago and one day the jws hubby was doing some work at my workmates house when jws started preaching she thought it funny that despite being a jw himself he was actually hiding from the jws !

  i told her that an awfull lot of jws are a little embaressed about their beliefs and dont even enjoy actually knocking on doors and you will find they usually walk very slow and i explained the reasons for this (handing in a slip of paper recording the amount of hours ) and then i went on to explain about shunning , the crap child protection policies , victims of domestic violence told to pray to be a better wife etc.., satan and demons on the internet telling lies !

  she told me that because her jw mate is so down to earth and gets drunk etc she had thought being a jw must be ok really !

  "i've got a funny feeling about this place! think it might be demon posscessed!"

  did you ever encounter jw's who claimed to be able to "sense" when somthing "dodgy" read demon posscessed was in the room?.

  i've got several jw relatives who reckon that jehovah protects them by allowing them to sense this... "i always had a funny feeling about that lump of coral!".

  iteams they have thrown out ( and in one case also run over several times with a bicycle just in case there was any residual demons left in it) are :.
