is it likely to be removed from the list of disfellowshippable offences?
given that the ban on smoking 🚬 is completely unbiblical*, might they ever remove it?.
*even mainstream christianity can only come up with one verse "against" it, the one that says that the body is the temple of the holy spirit.
<<Does it need to be 'biblical' to ban it?>>
Of course not! Who needs Bible rules when we can all make our own commandments of men. Christians who celebrate Christmas or send birthday cards or vote in municipal elections should be mandatorily cut off from the Christian congregation as well as from their families.

Thanks for the good report. I'm hoping for similar hemorrhaging stats across the board.
so when was jesus begotten.
was he truly and wholly fully human.
did he exist in two states, part human part god.
The Bible answers your question in The prologue to John's gospel as follows.
prompted by a mention in a different thread.. cracks in the sidewalk, a pinch of salt over the shoulder, black cats🐈⬛; do jws have such superstitious beliefs.
are they allowed to?
would they be counselled if the elders became aware?.
I don't see a demon behind every tree. I see demons behind almost every tree.
so, i finally saw the annual meeting video part 2.. this is the one with the “new light” on who might survive armageddon, vs. those who do not.. in summary, for those of you fortunate enough not to have to sit through it, it’s something like this:.
old light: once the “great tribulation” starts, that’s it for non-jws.
the “door of the ark” is closed.
