  by traveb in

  didn't see this posted already so i thought i would start a new topic.

  three-page article about in vitro fertilization and what to do with frozen embryos.

  the way i read it is everything to do with ivf is a conscience matter unless it involves a 3rd party then it's considered porneia.

  "Keep yourselves in Gods Love"...JW`s and masturbation video #22

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just looked to see if this video is still on the official jehovah`s witness website "keep yourselves in gods love " ( deaf and sign language # 22 ) and it is.

  notwithstanding whether it is appropiate for signers to be explicit or not, depending on what signage they use, the real question should be, why are the governing body of jehovah`s witnesses so concerned that their members are masturbating or not.it is not an issue in the bible .why are they delving into something that quite frankly does not concern them ?.

  smiddy.

  At what age do people 'wake up'?

  by Splash in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was thinking about this question recently after being at the meeting when new pioneers were announced for the 2013 service year.. we have a dozen or so pioneers in the congregation, and most are in their 20's.

  some absolutely love the things they are taught and can't wait to spread the good news.. others in the congregation are going through the motions, tired of hearing the same old same old but have no way to change things now.

  then there are a couple like me.

  I suspect for many it is an event which triggers the process, not age.

  Music therapy for pain .. scientists on board or anyone .. any thoughts?

  i am wondering if there is any research on this subject.. .

  it's kind of obscure, i realize that.

  playing my guitar takes me to a better place mentally, but does it produce oxytocin?

  I suffer for neuralgia from time to time and have noticed that when I am occupied and concentrating I am less aware of the pain sometimes. It seems to return full strength when I stop. Perhaps there is an element of this with music?

  The Decline of Elders and Ministerial Servants

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i seem to remember somebody saying that since the 90's the number of elders has declined from 90000 to 60000. does anybody have any hard figures regarding this?.

  the organization is desperate for "qualified" men.

  but their standards are much too high, especially the monthly field service hour requirements tagged on to endless meetings and congregational busywork.

  I guess the reason most elders serve in that role is because at some level, whatever the other motives, they believe their religion is the right one. This is quite a powerful drive.

  Let's Discuss Ray Franz's Books

  by Recovery in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been repeatedly pleaded with to read the books of ray franz in my short stay on this board.

  apparently these are all the all-powerful, wt crushing arguments, that lead so many to leave jw's and become ruthless opposers of god's people.

  we can discuss any claims/statements/scriptural arguments presented in either of his books, as long as it somehow proves jehovah's witnesses are not god's people.

  That's a very interesting observation isaacaustin. The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
