KS10 Chapter Three

by yknot in

chapter three from 'shepherding the flock of go' published by the wts of penn/ny as part of their worldwide bible educational work.

the wts is a non-profit whose publications are not for sale but are freely given to those who show 'genuine' interest..... while not required, a donation is always joyfully accepted .

well i was going to stick to the boe ltr for a 'pre-view' but somebody deleted my sendspace links.

Paragraph 2:

I thought that Elders were appointed by Holy spirit?

Paragraph 7:

Is it still "the three year rule" with the exception of child abuse?

Paragraph 13:

The first question to be asked of one being appointed is a contradiction of other sections of the book. Pre baptism sins are not to be concidered? BTW, a phrase often used for appointment is being "made up". Isn't that a Mafia saying?

Situations that may raise questions

Paragraph 20:

Child abuse - this would likely disqualify one from serving for many years!!!! I think that I read somewhere that said that one would never serve as an appointed man, I will have to dig for it.

Paragraph 25:

Digging for reasons for one standing down. Mind your own business!

KS10 Chapter Five Discussion

by yknot in

reiteration that the below is a discussion of chapter 5 from 'shepherding the flock of god' which is published by the wts of penn/ny.

the wts is a non-profit that distributes it's publications free of charge worldwide.

this particular publication while not for sale (well none of the wts publications are either technically) is not distributed broadly but is still nonetheless part of their bible educational work, while not required donations are joyful accepted by all jws for the purpose of this work....... here are the previous discussion threads:.

Paragraph 4:

Attempted suicide "may be the result of deep despair or major depression! DUH! If not the DF them?

Paragraph 5:

Oral & Anal sex is ok as long as YOU ARE married to each other.

Paragraph 6:

Masterbation is not Porneia

Paragraph 10 "Brazen Conduct"

Romantic relationships outside the religion, to my knowledge up to now this would bring reproof, a marking talk. It seems now that you can get DF'd for it.

Paragraph 14:

Abhorent forms of porno = kids, rape, torture, bondage etc. Straight sex porn is ok?? I seem to remember reading a WT or something that stated that there is no such thing as "soft porn", well there is now. New light? Do you think that this will ease the minds of many who like to watch main stream porn?

Paragraph 20:

Stealing - does this include those who chhose to pioneer and live on benefits rather than get a job?

Paragraph 34:

Not providing, pioneering and living off benefit and not choosing to work?

Paragraph 39:

This is the reason for which I will most likely stand down as an elder. Although by remaining as such I will be in a position to make sure that it is handled in the right way(law of the land) should it occur locally.

Is there 'independent' thinking going on in this congregation?

by EndofMysteries in

i was told that a congregation has started taking donations for those who are struggling in this time.

they said that they mentioned how catholics, etc, have salvation army and take up donations and help the poor, but jw's don't have anything like that.

i was wondering if all congregations are starting this, or one is realizing that they haven't been in harmony with the early christians.

I know of a pioneer that had a hand out from the cong to cover his exp. for travel to the pioneer school. He took all his friends to the pub with it. PRICELESS!

December 2010 Awake Homosexuality

by bottleofwater in

anyone have a good read of the ypa article on homosexuality?.

is it just me or is the doctrine becoming more lenient and less dogmatic?.

AnonJW

OR, "Somebody told me that a fellow JW was advertizing on there, I was checking it out before I spoke to the person - turned out to be a lie, I have since spoken to the informant re slander. It's all sorted, I have made a promise not to mention it"

Honestly, I'm such a blagger
