  Is there encouragement and hope for the disfellowshipped?

  by Butterflyleia85 in

  2. beliefs

  i am 24 years old i was disfellowshipped at 21 and reinstated last year january then committed a sin and disfellowshipped again five months later.. i don't think i realized what i got into.

  i tried hard to fend for myself and get back in, the pressure got to me and i fell out again.

  but since i understood what it entailed i fought hard to stay in.

  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?.

  hello - first may i apologise for capital letters my keyboard has gone screwy.

  for the last several months i have been having meetings with two really nice women from the jw organisation.

  i don't want to offend anyone by asking these questions i am simply trying to better understand how the watchtower came about without listening to too much anti stuff.

  Besty's Post 2170 on http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/experiences/180775/1/Besty-Unplugged-My-Life-Story-Part-VI contains an excellent, thoughtful answer to many common objections regarding JWs' take on the Bible. It's the letter Besty got from his brother.

  I'm wary of trouble is all. Flesh and spirit are at odds, by design.

  To me the question of whether it is by the Bible only, or whether it is by the Bible with aids, clouds the real issue: sane, upbuilding, sound moral association and discussion. Sincere Christian thought.

  Jesus and Superman both can fly and both are involved with major printing companies.

  Coincidence ? I don't think so.

  Of course, regarding goodness, the NIV (2 Peter 1:5-7) states that goodness is just the 2nd step in an 8-step process:— 1) faith, 2) goodness, 3) knowledge, 4) self-control, 5) perseverance, 6), godliness, 7) brotherly kindness, and 8) love.
