  Tell a minister why the Bible alone is not enough to reach jw

  please tell a minister why the bible alone is not enough to reach a jw.

  i feel the language, doctrines, translation, etc..etc... all of it must be known as well as the bible.

  please, serious answers only, thank you..

  IF it is NOT wise for a man to be ALONE with a woman he's NOT married to …

  sola scriptura answered andersonsinfo:.

  the wt leadership has hammered into all of it's elders and rank & file's heads, that it is not wise for a man to be alone with a woman he is not married too (adult or young woman... ie 14).

  even in congregation sanctioned duties.. so, why, then, do so many service pairings involve just that: a brother alone in the territory (even if it's to make a call) with a sister he's not married to?.

  Thanks to CrimsonBleu (Post 101), WuzLovesDubs (Post 614), and skeeter1 (Post 2226), so far.

  Suppose a man and a woman are both in the official category of "NOT a JW" or "no longer a JW" but are both regular meeting attenders and studying, what communication is acceptable between them which would NOT "warrant a reproof"? Is it possible to upbuid each other spiritually, other than by noticing the singing and note-taking and other active listening that the other is doing? Is it OK to ask if it is OK to sit next to that one? I understand that a spiritual person cannot be "stumbled" (Psalm 119:165). Why is it that elders seem to be "stumbled" more than most, and unable to read humour (a common coping technique for many from a dysfunctional background)?

  This Topic (to use the correct JWN term) is composed of many threads, a major one of which DEFINITELY has been "trinity" though my explanation of the Biblical "trinity" explanation of John 17:11 seems to have neatly closed that off, thankfully. I'm glad to Jehovah for this revelation.

  Michael, scripturally, is the name of 11 different individuals according to Insight on the Scriptures' article on MICHAEL. There is a 6 paragraph study proving that the Michael (1.) is none other than Jesus Christ with comprehensive Scriptual evidence and sound reasoning on it.

  All Ex-Elders, Mr.Flipper going to Final MeetingW/Elders! I'll be careful!

  hello ex-elders, onthe wayout, snakes, and wilyloman, just to refresh about a month ago i told you all that the appeal committee had overturned the disfellowshipping decision by the original jc as the appeal committee got a hold of me by phone and told me the society gave them direction in this.

  i have since explained the situation to my witness mom and dad, 80 &82, they are good with it.

  i am taking copies of the counsel you ex elders gave to me to be careful about what i say at this "alleged encouragement" meeting and promise you this, i'll watch my words carefully when they ask me questions.

  I am learning how to bless my enemies, even if they ARE my elders, by practicing for it, right here on JWN.

  Actually, a bald woman can pray without a head covering as long as she's not wearing a wig.

  i'm passing this along from someone else on another discussion board.

  the claim of any substantive change in the policy on pedophiles is news to me.

  can anybody verify or falsify this claim?.

  a forum cannot be apostate, only ideas can be. They can be heard anywhere, including at any Kingdom Hall. Let the reader use discernment. Doing things Jehovah's way, we can never be stumbled. (Psalm 119:165)

  It's WT leaders, not elders, who are responsible for all the harm. My Geneva, Switz. lecture posted here for new ones & Sola Scriptura to read

  keep it secret has been wts child abuse policy for years.

  he said the policy that jehovah's witnesses have on how to handle cases of child abuse is without equal in the religious community.

  why keep these forms secret?.

  please read my initial post thoughtfully and thoroughly, and THEN respond ... The accusations made by Isaac and Josie are off-topic and defamatory.

  The way I see it, according to John 17:11, the "they" (those acting with a holy spirit) are the third "person" of the Biblical trinity, in harmony with Matthew 28:18-20. The union or agreement in thought and action is required, so is the bending of Jesus' will and "their" will to the Father's.
