  Is it really allowed for a JW to listen to radio or look at TV??

  by Mr Fool in

  if almost every song, every radio host, every actor is influenced by satan it should be forbidden for every jw to listen to radio and look at tv, right?!

  or have i missed something?.

  there was this guy that sat at the back of our kh for about 10 years.

  he must of studied with so many desparate pioneers but nothing happened.

  he just couldn't break his smoking habit.

  When he told the Elders he was baptised as a Mormon, he thought that they would be proud of him, and offer him praise.

Then. we didn't see him for three months. So, two Elders went to see him and to assess. We found out that the Mormons got him.. He was studied, and in 6 weeks got baptised with them. Man, the LDS are fast movers. But, the guy still smokes. He did give me strange vibes. I'm glad he became mormon. Those feelings may make me blood guilty

  Anyone know of df'ing for taking a br. to Court (esp. if Cdn)?

  by berrygerry in

  most jw's have been told that taking a fellow jw to court is wrong.. the shepherd book uses wts speak: "if an individual ignores god's word on this matter, it may affect his congregation privileges.

  " (italics theirs.).

  the following are from an interesting case in canada ( link ):.

  I remember that the Elders manual did say that you could sue your brother through an Insurance claim. Sueing for another matter such as contract breaching was always a punitive matter. I'm aware of some being swindled out of their life savings. Employees stealing from their JW employers. Tenants violating their leaase arrangements from JW Landlords. All couldn't legally sue one another due to maintaining congregation responsibilities. They were stuck, just like a person who is stuck to stay married to an abuser. But, if they did sue they were not DF'd.

  the article entitled seven shepherds, eight dukesawhat they mean for us today in the watchtower of the 15th november 2013 contained this important warning in paragraph 16: ain the near future, jehovahas apparently vulnerable people will come under attack from the modern-day aassyrian,a whose intent will be to wipe them out.a it goes on to say: awhat asecret weapona does micahas prophecy indicate jehovah would raise up against that implacable foeaathe assyriana?

  Well, true, or not, nothing surprises me anymore. The GB members may appear that they united, but you can be sure that inside they have disunity. I can see one day perhaps 1 or a few may be announced as, No longer a Member of the GB

  Since Elders And Mini Servants Have To Be Exemplary How Does Anyone Ever Qualify?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seems to me that you must be almost perfect to be a " servant" in the organization today.

  no college, no spiritually weak in the family, no disfellowshipped living at home, no tight pants, etc......who can live up to their lofty ideals?.

  Why on earth would you want that title? I consider many who don't have this title exemplary examples.

  based upon the last big meeting this past weekend, would it be proper for an elder to perform a wedding ceremony if the brother is not at least a mini servant?.

  Baptised and breathing, LOL. Good one, Blondie.

  Over here in Canada, as long as you are legal age, and pub's in good standing you can get married. It's one thing to live your life with common sense, and another thing to listen to counsel from a narrow minded individual. I wonder just how many lives, Morris has ruined with his dogmatted view.
