I'm glad to be able to see most of you. I do read many of your posts during the past years and it was great to put a friendly face on those thoughtful expressions. I loved the guitar pics.
Reality79...No Sex For You....To the back of the line
Yes, the scripture does say something about marriage, or given in mariage. The animals don't marry, but they certainly have alot of sex. The angels however are supposed to be the same gender, so that may not work out. I think that we over think that scripture and may have to wait to get the true answer.
Yes, like many that I know. Why on earth would this CO and DO see the need to correct just one congregation's practice and to not be consistent with the rest of the city. Is this another classic example of Opinions expressed by those in a higher position?
if it were done by a group of children in school to another student the school would consider it a form of bullying.
are dubs bullying other dubs when they do this?
to me it seems like a form childish behavior that you would only expect to see in grade school..
Yes, it is a form of bullying ...in a emotional way. Sad as it is, the law condones it, and the Society is milking it.
Sorry, apparently I needed to download Google Chrome again. Anyways here is my post. It seems that recently our CO was accompanied by the DO on his recent visit to our hall. Apparently, they told our Elders that we had missunderstood the meaning of the Societies direction on how to deal with those that had faded away for some time. We once understood that we would not deal with someone who left our congregation for some time, since it's confirmation that these ones had faded away, and are not considering themselves to be brothers or sisters any longer. Well that apparently was wrong thinking. They said that once you are baptized, you are always baptized. They made those elders visit those who were away for some 20 yrs and disfellowshiped at 5 people living in our territory. Someone from a nearby congregation asked what's wrong, and the Elders of our cong told them that this was the Societies direction. However, this never got to be the practice of the other congregations in town. In fact they accused our Elders involved in a Witch Hunt. If the whole city followed through on this understanding, we would have at least 40 disfellowshipped. What have you observed?

so, i am thinking about voting for the first time in my life.
even though there is a questions from readers article that basically mentioned it is a conscience matter, we all know what the unwritten rule is.. problem is, even though i'm mentally out, i'm still physically in.
do you think that if i'm seen at the polling station by the witnesses i could suffer any consequences?
You actually found someone that you would want to vote in office?
