  New Article - Birthdays, Why the Watchtower stance is wrong

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have a new article at http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/birthdays.php outlining why the watchtower stance against birthdays is wrong.

  there have been a number of threads on jwn discussing this, and the article collates and summarises the points raised in these threads.

  please feel free to point out any errors in grammar or logic.

  my platform is simple: (1) no more neckties, and (2) the only disfellowshipping offense is child molestation... and it's a lifetime ban!.

  Australia - Priests could be ordered to report confessions of sex abuse to police

  http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/national/priests-could-be-ordered-to-report-confessions-of-sex-abuse-to-police/story-fndo1wyv-1226428524648.

  this was on abc news this morning, one question asked: "should officials in religious and other organisations be held criminally responsible for the actions of offenders of child abuse in their employ or for whom they have responsibility?"..

  it seems to be directed primarily at catholics, but could easily have ramifications for other religions as well.

  Introducing Mrs Cedars...

  by cedars in

  2. friends

  i just thought you should know that mrs cedars has finally taken the plunge and joined the forum.

  she was able to log on for the first time yesterday.. though we both "awakened" at different stages, mrs cedars was very supportive and non-judgmental when i first began exploring my beliefs from a critical standpoint.

  she is currently in the process of reading crisis of conscience and aquainting herself with some of the facts of witness history that were hitherto unknown.
