  Reinstatement-Curent elders please reply

  by truthlover in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  while being reinstated several months ago -- no restriction were given other than no commenting - service was allowed - getting over the average for the cong, not missing meetings - its been months now and the brother met recently with someof the jc members - they praised his hours and meeting attendance but because his lessons are not completely underlined, and he does make notes during the meeting, he has not been allowed to still make comments and become a fully active member of the congregation as they say this note taking is causing a problem with other members of the congregation.. have you even heard of anything so off the wall?

  is this the way its done in most cong??

  he thought if someone was interested enough to listen and make notes of a good point in their mags, it would be something to be referred to in the future... i know i have seen folks doing this while the lesson is being read.... .

  After Reinstatement

  can any current elders, ms, etc.

  tell me if restrictions are given when a person is re instated since 2005??

  i ask this as i am reading the requirements for re instatement -- it says a person has to prove they want to be reinstated and have to attend meetings for a year or more before the elders would even accept the letter request for re instatement..... .

  Mary and the Memorial-- Comments Please

  by truthlover in

  1. social
  2. current

  does anyone think its strange that if those faithful ones i.e.

  mary magdalene, mary, mother of jesus, lazarus, martha, etc.

  were to die following jesus' death, that they should have been included in the emblem taking since his death opened up the way for those" members of the 144,000" and they were his closest associates, next to the 12 - one of whom was a traitor?

  dealing with the seven brothers and the one wife - jesus said, they will be as the angels, and cannot die anymore so my ??

  is if they are not going to heaven and will stay on the earth as "eunuchs" are they "princes" since they cannot die anymore and arent supposed to go to heaven, so sayeth the wtb$??

  and if the mate goes thru armageddon , apparently they will not live as husb and wife anymore ... any one out there with some insight on this?

  Can a person be a Christian and a scientologist?

  by truthlover in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  looking at their web site, it seems they rely completely on mankind to solve problems, yet their message is so close to the scriptures, it makes me wonder ---if, once you have your life in order- the scientology way, mankind should resolve all their problems since they believe all are equal, etc.. they dont seem to believe in god or in satan, but that the world is in a mess because men dont work together to better themselves.. any comments??.

  theirs seem to be a perfect life, and have professionals in place to help relieve anyone of any baggage they carry from early life, ie -abuse, be it physical, emotional or religious..... .
