  I think it's just a matter of time when the GB come up with the idea that Rutherford was never a Faithful Slave and end his policies on DF'ing.

  this is what is happening in a spanish congregation in our area.

  this happened 3 weeks ago.

  this brother conducted the school and after the school was over, another elder gave the announcement: "( name of the person) is not longer a jehovah's witness".

  It depends on the BOE and CO. He may be deleted at the next CO meeting. I have seen cases where they were deleted and cases where they remained.

  Why do girls have a hymen?

  by JWchange in

  1. social
  2. family

  if you believe humans evolved, and were not created, why would having a hymen help, especially as no other mammal has one?

  if you believe humans were created by {a} god, or intelligent beings with advanced technology, what was the reason for a hymen?

  i'm interested to hear your thoughts on this unusual subject, not many people talk about..

  Basic Principles for Forum Moderation

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  a perennial issue for any online forum is moderation and applying rules.

  we have a set of community guidelines and posting guidelines that are intended to make clear what is and isn't acceptable but this tends to focus on the obvious standards of behavior for, well, obvious reasons.

  it's easy to talk about people being aggressive or insulting etc... as those are common and clearly unwanted behaviors and the typical issue for online communities - the most likely things to come up.. does this mean that everything *not* on the list is allowed?

  Not unless you're getting married in the morning.

  But, you have to get me to the church, get me to the church, get me to the church on time.
