  January 2013 warns parents to resist contact with df'd children again

  by stuckinlimbo in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  see page 15-16. full of "straw men" like:.

  * do not blame yourself it is the child that jehovah blames - parents do not care whose fault it is they just want their child not to be killed by god.

  * it is ok for parents to hope their df'd child returns - was anybody really asking if that was wrong?.

  bobld, this thread was not posted in the private section of JWN. So it can be read even by those that do not have an account.

  I hope it helps somebody.

  What do you mean?! I ALWAYS go to the beach after service and wear long pants and button up shirts while I play a game in the sand with my family! Sometimes I wear button up long sleeve shirts too!

  the wts likes to imply how jws should dress in and outside of the hall.

  you always want to set an example.. so i couldn't help but share this beauty in the january 15th, 2013, study edition of the watchtower.

  i always go to the beach like this!

  Ha! Thanks for the clarification and distinction of what the game was in the picture jwfacts.

  All I knew was that I never played it here in America and so it wasn't familiar to me.

  However, I had no problem realizing how ridiculous they all looked at the beach with those clothes on.

  Below is an interesting portion found in the Flock book. Here, you can find a difference between what you may hear at an assembly regarding association with a DFed person and what the elders are told.

  But with the new light excuse there is always info subject to change at the blink of an eye.

  The Best of Both Worlds

  no, i am not quoting the title of van halens greatest hits cd.. it is a statement of how successful the society has been in molding their "faithful and discreet slave" concept of total trustworthiness.. on one hand they deny that the faithful and discreet slave are infallible when it comes to revealing the words and commandments of god.

  they have no position of "ex cathedra" as the pope claims to possess.

  therefore they can "sometimes" be overzealous or have a misunderstanding on a matter.. however on the other hand they claim that these occasional missteps are very few and far between therefore we should award them the honor of trusting them to be the sole channel of gods communiques.. this came to mind because of a jw that i work with made this comment.

  Donny, I'm surprised you didn't mention the Holy Spirit. That's my hang up. They are guided by it yet continually have to change their mind.

  Maybe the spirit is imperfect.

  Yea....................., that's it! Elders are appointed all the time and a number of them were bad decisions. But since they were appointed by holy spirit, I guess the Holy Spirit is where the breakdown is! LOL

  LOL Tater-T! A friend of mind pointed out the same thing!

  Lack of structured sports training on their part. Too busy!

  Hey the WTS is right! You can learn/get a lot from pictures! Aren't we an observant bunch!

  Oh yea......evidently.......the WTS approves of cricket. Notice the caption when it points to "recreation of the right kind".

  Somehow I missed that. But someone lovingly pointed it out to me.

  Now you are all put on alert as to what is acceptable after family worship night. Otherwise, no good. LOL

  I'm loving the comments! I guess you all don't go to the beach dressed like that.

  Maybe I'm the weirdo? LOL
