  To be honest, I have no idea how the appeal of the "Judicial Action" works.

  (It seemed any time I had a question the Elders couldn't answer immediately, namely my beard, it took 2-3 weeks for them to come up with an answer. But looking back, perhaps it was those 2-3 weeks they needed to see if there was any wrongdoing by me to perhaps have a little "Judicial" meeting for. Could you imagine being disfellowshipped for wearing a beard?)

  Okay, they disfellowship a person, is it immediately told to the congregation? OR... Do they hold back informing the congregation of the decision until after the appeal is heard and decided?

  I would hate to think Jehovah's clean congregation would put up with potential fouling of the air.

  But then again with Jehovah's spirit on the "Judicial" matter, why would they need an appeal process in the first place? Isn't Jehovah's spirit as perfect as Jehovah himself? But wait! Is the spirit that Jehovah uses in "Judicial matters" the same spirit that directs the writing and publications Watchtower makes? If that's the case, no wonder an appeal process is needed. It is a wonder there isn't several appeals needed, each one overturning the previous judgement!

  So many questions... so few answers...

  Just a guess... correspondence time with Watchtower Headquarters could take 2-3 weeks.

  im following along a little from the above topic.

  i remember in a book study reading that there are more people alive on the earth today than have ever lived in the past.......6 billion.

  so is it true that less than 6 billion people have ever lived up to this century?.

  As a child, I imagined the sky would become brown/red and it would become very windy, followed by a bad storm. Then one day while I attended Middle School, the wind picked up during a dry spell and the sky did become brown. It was pretty freaky when you have cult thinking in your head. I was so scared, wondering if I had done enough to please Jehovah.

  Spiderman 3 (Spoilers, do not read unless you want the movie ruined)

  i went and saw spiderman 3 this last weekend and wondered what others thought of it.

  i liked it, but felt there was a lot less storyline covered, which seems to be the problem with all of marvels third installments (x3).

  i wished it could have had more time with venom, and not the quick battle at the end, that ended all to quick.

  Do you think we will ever see...

  ... or is he just too environmentally unfriendly?

  Personally, I would love to see The Greatest American Hero turned into a movie. Good thing they released the TV show on DVD.

  (As far as Spiderman goes, the Jayhawk family will wait for it to come out on DVD and buy it.)

  USA - Don't Pump Gas on May 15th.

  by onlycurious in

  2. friends

  on may 15th 2007, all internet users are to not go to a gas station in protest of high gas prices.

  gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in most places.

  there are 73,000,000+ american members currently on the internet network, and the average car takes about 30 to 50 dollars to fill up.

  Instead of bothering with this, how about buying a car that does not burn as much fuel? My car gets 40mpg and only costs about $24 to fill each week. SUV owners only have theirselves to blame when they complain of $80 fill-ups.

  Plus if everybody demanded a car that got 40 plus mpg, that would help ease up the demand for oil.

  How the Society Portrays Cultural Diversity

  by compound complex in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what's wrong with this picture?.

  the watch tower society claims that its members are united spiritually despite ethnic and cultural diversity; they speak a "pure language.

  " an anglo-american religion, whose mother tongue is english, jehovah's witnesses see paradise - in saturated color - as though already "present.

  But why in the heck won't the black people who live everywhere else in the world except Africa just wear (gag) khakis and dress shirts like the white people? Is the society not planning for black americans and europeans to make it to the new system

  LOL - Yes, khakis and dress shirts, the official garb of the New System. I laugh at how the men are portrayed as wearing this attire no matter what they are doing - sitting in a chair, planting tomatoes, or even playing volley ball. The men will probably even have sex with their wives with these clothes on. Does anyone stop to think: if everyone is going to be enjoying the paradise while eating fruit and training parrots to talk; who is going to be working in the factory facilities that will be necessary to manufacture thier khaki pants and dress shirts? Oh, these pesky details!

  I just want to know who will be in charge of the beach ball factory.

  Then they'll all be 'nekkid'....running around with perfect bodies, not having sex. I could have sworn I saw that pic in one of the Watchtowers.

  Will the women still be required to shave?

  my jaw noticeably dropped and i uddered " what the heck " as i looked around to look for support from other women there,.

  This should not shock you. For decades JW women are taught they are the dumber weaker sex.

  Have you ever been caught doing something naughty at a KH or at the door???

  by chelsea in

  okay i never got caught in the act, but right before my exit at the age of 16 i wrote on the whiteboard (during hall cleaning) "chelsea loves dave".

  during the public talk the whiteboard came out and there it was... there were no other chelsea's so i'm sure they knew it was me.

  the speaker said "we don't want to know about chelsea and dave...ha ha ha" and rubbed it off the board.

  I don't think I was ever caught in the act, but let's just say some of the sisters provided a nice view from above when I handled the microphones.
