Can a divorcee remarry scripturally?

by rootofallevil in

i have been visiting this board for the last six months and it has opened my eyes!.

i feel like i was tricked into this religion - since 1975.

i would like to say thanks to all who post on this forum.

JT

Speaking of Divorce, because the JW are lead by men with no college education esp in the field of Greek, Hebrew, etc, they often end up getting the meanings of words Jacked up

here is a perfect example of what happens when you have men who have no idea what Greek words actually mean

keep in mind ONLY JW leaders came up with this explanation based on the Greek word porneía

no other religion on the face of the earth came up with this Goofy dogma when they examined the Greek word porneía.

After a jw wife catches her husband having sex with the family dog or the mailmain notice the questions from Readers and notice thier answser

*** w72 1/1 31-2 Questions from Readers *** Questions from Readers

ó Do homosexual acts on the part of a married person constitute a Scriptural ground for divorce, freeing the innocent mate to remarry?—U.S.A.

Homosexuality is definitely condemned in the Bible as something that will prevent individuals from gaining God’s approval. (1 Cor. 6:9, 10) However, whether an innocent mate would Scripturally be able to remarry after procuring a legal divorce from a mate guilty of homosexual acts must be determined on the basis of what the Bible says respecting divorce and remarriage.

In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus Christ said:.....

While both homosexuality and bestiality are disgusting perversions, in the case of neither one is the marriage tie broken. It is broken only by acts that make an individual “one flesh” with a person of the opposite sex other than his or her legal marriage mate.

Hint of disillusionment among bethelites regarding downsizing?

by watch the tower in

here is an email i got from a jw friend regarding the downsizing.. can you sense the uneasiness in the last part of the message?.

"bros vandewall, jaracz, pierce and weaver gave a talk.

to the bethelites after the watchtower study monday.

JT

So is it 1500 or 15000. Someone know?

worldwide there are about 15,000 bethelites- the US branch has somewhere around 6000 at it's peak-

i was told they are looking to reduce the usa branch by around 50%-

for the first time in decades the wt is actually laying folks off, due to reduced workload and the shift in how they do business in general-

they can do the same with less staff- bottomline is someone is going to get the Royal Shaft!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why don't they just get on with their own lives rather than be slaves to the WTS? They should be glad for this change because they will not labour for a man made organisation. 222222222222 depending on where you work at bethel it is a gravy job

for those getting CO assigments that ain't too bad, but i feel for the poor Speical Pioneer, they just get a stipend

get out the tissue paper cause there is some crying going on right now- but for many of the sisters, there is much rejoiciing they get to leave bethel - have a home and kids without feeling guilty

excellent point, but here is the problem, the wt didn't have to submit every single article they did on the UN --to the UN in order to show the UN that they fullfilled their Requirements as a NGO.

it is clear out poster needs to do more research on the matter:

REPOST:

This writer contacted the DPI by email and was informed by that office that it was standard procedure in 1992 (the year the Watchtower was accepted as a NGO) for the DPI to send new members a brochure and welcome letter restating exactly what was expected of NGOs. Among other things the letter stated:

"The principle purpose of association of non-governmental organizations with the United Nations Department of Public Information is the redissemination of information in order to increase public understanding of the principles, activities and achievements of the United Nations and its Agencies. Consequently, it is important that you should keep us informed about your organization's information programme as it relates to the United Nations, including sending us issues of your relevant publications. We are enclosing a brochure on the "The United Nations and Non-Governmental Organizations," which will give you some information regarding the NGO relationship."

JT

Life is too short for all this mind game bs--unless it's to enjoy a bit of a diversion from other things. Bottom line--NO internet forum should be taken seriously. ;-)

##########

excellent point and that is why when a jw comes on an apostate site we already know they are in violation of wt rules, so there is no need to get excited about what they say, - after years of being online we should be able to weed out trolls from just mislead jw

as the poster indicated he PLAYED us, the question is did you or i fall for it

i can see the first few times, but afterwhile i believe we should have better perception and not be so gulible by someone posting, "WT IS TRUE All of you will DIE" DuhHHHHHHH

to me getting a jw to EVEN post is the most important thing accomplished, as many of us know that is the very first step taken leading out of wt, even it the poor poster doesn't even know it

not all jw leave, but for many of us coming here and posting -even in support of the wt was the first step so commend the poor fellow he don't know any better- smile

I CERTANLY DO NO WHAT ROCKS PEOPLES BOAT ON THIS WEBSITE.THE POST I JUST PUT WAS TOO SEE THE REACTION I WOULD GET.ITS LIKE A BUNCH OF TIGERS WAITING TO STIRKE ON ITS PRAY

########

excellent point, it is very sad how many former jw respond when someone post who indicates that they support the wt explanation of scripture

in the 8yrs of posting i have never understood why former jw respond in such a manner-

if a person say they agree with the society, is it not reasonable to expect that any comments that follow by the poster will reflect that-

too many former jw fail to realize the danger that any jw faces if caught on such a site, so instead of commending the person for not allowing the wt to tell them who they can talk to being that most are DF DAed or classiifed by the wt as apostates on this site, former jw jump with both feet on the jw supporter

how quickly we forget what it was like coming to a site like this trying to defend the wt 130yr paper trail

welcome the poster, commend the poster for not be afraid to think for themselves by merely being here-

i know jw who fear that demons will come out of their monitor by being on this site- yet we have a actually jw viisiting us-

instead of attacking the person, why not direct ones focus on wt issues

personal attacks should only come from a current jw not a former jw in my view, why cause we have --been there --done that, bought the tee shirt

the poster stated he belives wt has the Truth, well we should know the routine by know, -ever jw says that- DUHHHH so we need to ask the poster is he or she willing to look at the REcord??

then we let what is IN Print speak for itself-

this is the worst part of watching a jw poster - post, he or she is often attacked by former jw, and we all know what the current jw is going to say, it ain't rocket science -

we got the truth, all you are weak, don't want to preach, want to sin , don't want anyone telling you what to do, the list goes on and on, we know the "SPILL"

we need to be more effective by moving the poster quickly from such Fluff to meat and potatoe issues concerning wt, but time and time again former jw fall into the trap

and then the current jw laughs at you-

i know of a "former jw" who used to come online while still a jw in the presense of a few tight friends who were jw and he would actually drop a HOT LINE just to see the response of former jw and just as this posters has indicated, the former jw fall for it hook line and sinker

i trutly think that as the years go on more former jw need to develope a much better approach to first time posters- in fact shocking them with "LOVE BOMBING"

keeping in mind the wt has already told them how former jw act and sure enough so many jw prove the wt to be 110% -

i tell you folks honey will catch you more flies than vineagar- not all the flies, but indeed more

just my 2

do so many former jw fail
