[it gets under my skin when people post that a jw was df'd for being homosexual.
if one ever was df'd simply for being homosexual, one would have ample grounds for a lawsuit.
the comments in brackets are mine.].
"an individual JW spends the night at the house of a known homosexual of the same sex that would be grounds for disfellowshipping"
Yes, well, it's grounds for judicial committee action. It's stated along with a JW staying all night at the house of someone of the opposite sex that's not a relative.
Just a note: Things can happen... several times... without the other person staying the whole night.
have you heard what the "big announcement" is to be this week.
supposedly the bethel homes will get some announcement today and the congregations will announce the new something by the end of the week..
"I remember the Pioneer Assist Program was short lived. It too was a loser/lemon from the beginning!"
The letter announcing the end of the PAO program was so funny. They stated how wonderfully successful it had been, so they were ending it. LOL!
If something is successful, you don't end it or change it. So the "school" for couples and bros must have been so "successful" they're "expanding" it to include sisters. LOL.
i think we are witnessing major events in our time period.look at the snoweden situation and the continuing arab spring and the issue of income inequality.we are seeing that people are questioning the old values and briging up new ones.i belieive we are also approaching a much more secular world as well.. people today are a lot more skeptical of those in power than before and this all part of a change in our values.look at as well the advancement of science and technology.we are able to treat illness once thought uncurable.the future does not look bleak despite what the jw's say.yes we have been thorugh wars ad famines and illness but we are treating those things fast.according to the u.n they plan to cut world poverty in half.. this is good..
"Jw's tell you the future looks bright"
LOL. Billions of people slaughtered. Cities in complete ruin. That's "bright"? Even my die-hard JW parents are in dismay at the prospect of a world full of JWs. They learned long ago not to hire JWs. And they can only stand their JW "friends" in small doses. They want to be young again, but they sure don't look at the future JW "paradise" as all that bright.
"JW's dont tell you that our future looks bleak... scientists do!"
Haha. If they thought the future was bleak, they would all retire to tropical islands and wait for impending doom. The real scientists are working hard to try to make the world a better place.
cantleave,
Grumpy Cat wishes you a Crappy Birthday!
ok so thats what jesus said we must do, so the question at hand is, does going around the world telling people that gods name is jehovah does this really sanctify his name, really????
so if i went around my town and told every one that satans name is lucifer will this make satan holy?
is this what jesus was taking about jw's, think about it.
"does going around the world telling people that gods name is Jehovah does this really sanctify his name, really????"
It's more than just that. Telling people that god's name is Jehovah and having a 120 year history of false prophecy is what sanctifies his name.
this brochure is being studied, in the org starting form this week.
it rams lies down our throats, trying to convince us the the wt is god's organisation.
it lies to us about how the wt is doing jehovah's will.. we are going to be subjected to lies, lies and more lies for weeks.
Well, since Jesus hasn't been doing anything since 1914, I guess that lowers the bar to accepting door-to-door cult recruiters as "doing Jehovah's will".
i started yesterday.
took the kids (they were both princesses) and my nephew to 3 different events.
got tons of candy and the kids had a blast.. .
Here's the worldliness of Halloween on full display!
the picture on page 26 of the 8/15/13 wt shows three scenarios with the caption "what scriptural principles should come to your mind under these circumstances.
" the scriptures are, of course, what's discussed throughout the article.
"the desire of the flesh", "the desire of the eyes" and "the showy display of one's means of life".
WT has to keep guilt piled on the sheeple... damned if you do, damned if you don't. Next they'll counsel the dubs to stop wasting time pooping and spending money on toilet paper, which are resources better spent sitting under a tent behind some cheesy posters.

I like the suggestion of dressing like a smurf.
i just got in from my daughters homecoming(she is a cheerleader and these guys make a huge deal out of this stuff).
they play 3 football games of various age groups.
it starts at 8 in the morning and just ended at 1:30. i just got in the house literally 5 minutes ago and i had to share.
I suppose it's exactly the type of thing Jesus and Paul would do on their Saturdays.
