unity identifies true worship........ comments on these 3 paragraghs.

7 the one source of spiritual instruction first-century christians enjoyed unity because they all received encouragement from the same source.

they recognized that jesus was teaching and directing the congregation through a governing body, composed of the apostles and older men in jerusalem.

Marital Due and the KS
by yknot in

i just did a 'quick' search and 'marital due' doesn't appear to have made the 'list' of issues addressed in the ks!.

did i miss something?????

shouldn't the blantant repeated refusal (not justifiable under illness, ability, or discernable reason) be an issue addressed?.

2 Corinthians 7 is one of the most widely ignored chapters by JW's..........'sisters' can just stop having sex with their husbands without any recourse......no one will touch it with a ten foot pole.
Then they wonder why the other party cheats or gets involved in porn. Then the sister shows up at meetings crying and everyone feels sorry for her. Meanwhile, very few publishers know that the guy have been in a sexless marriage for many years.
Oh well........its all Bible Ala Carte.....choose what we want, ignore what we don't. In my opinion, the JW's biggest sin by far....

When a person gets disfellowshipped, why do the elders say no longer one of JW's.

i've been meaning on asking this, and i forgot to post it when i first joined this website..

All legal.
And as a former elder it immediately made me laugh my ass off. A typical judicial committee goes something like this:
"Have you stopped doing that bad, bad thing?"
Now if you are NO LONGER ONE OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES WHAT DOES IT MATTER WHAT YOU WERE DOING BEFORE YOU APPLIED FOR REINSTATEMENT???????? WHY CAN'T PEOPLE TREAT YOU AS THEY DO EVERY OTHER NON-JW........TALK TO THEM, WORK WITH THEM, ETC.??????
They completely shot themselves in the foot.

Not surprisingly, the rumor mill has started...

my wife and i have not even been df'd for a week and an old friend on fb (an inactive jw who has active jw friends who used to be friends of mine) says there's a rumor going around that i'm gay.

wow.

really jws?
daringhart13

Oh yeah...its JW 101..........I used to give a talk where I asked the audience if they knew the difference between adultery and slander.....I would pause....and then say ....." a comma"
It took them a minute, but they got the point.
I've never been in a corprate environment that is worse than JW's..........they slander, lie, embellish, invent, etc.....like no other collection of people I"ve ever seen.
And they are so creative.
Oh......and I'm 'apostate' and banging women every hour on the hour......

Disappointed by JW Visit

okay, i wanted to know more about the jws, so i went to the website and filled in my name and other info.

i was finally contacted, set up an appointment and visited.

the first two people came and they were nice, but one of the fellows looked uptight and avoided eye contact.
daringhart13

That isn't surprising to me at all.
The vast majority.....like 95% or more couldn't tell you anything about the Bible or their own religion's history. Its shocking....and deeply disturbing. They get in that pool and get baptized knowing almost NOTHING.....
Those I love are still practicing....and admit to me they know 'nothing about the Bible'......
I just sit there with my jaw on the ground

Online Dating: Tried It?
by daringhart13 in
1. social
2. relationships
has anyone tried online dating?.

i travel constantly and feel like i'm only home on weekends....tough to meet anyone near me..... any success?

waste of time?.

Thanks Cogs,
Yes...I agree women have that strong drive too......I guess it just took me off guard a little....I wasn't expecting it so boldly.
I've been disappointed in the results....but I'm guessing timing is everything. I've had a couple of dates in the last two weeks, but none from the site...... I guess I was thinking there might be better results......but glad to hear that you've done it and have been somewhat successful :)
