there are a lot of interesting people that frequent this site.. sometimes, we get an idea of what the posters are really like in "real life".

and i'm sure i could be easily surprised by some that you think might be strong personalities because of their board presence, and in reality, they might be shy in a face to face setting.. i would enjoy meeting simon.

simon used to be terribly annoyed by my posting and now i think he's accepted with tolerance my being here.. farkel seems like a grouchy cantankerous fellow but i think he'd be very interesting company!.

OK, Blondie

What kind of drink does a fine lady like you favor?

What is the WWTBTS position about working for a person that has been disfellowshipped.

by harleybear in

in light of the strick policy on shunning family memeber who have been df'ed what is the position on working for someone who has been df'ed?.

Quarterback

Yup, you can work for a Df person, but no sharing of a meal, unlesse your job is in the cafeteria, and the workers can only eat at one table.

If solid proof were suddenly found that the Book of Enoch should be included in the standard Bible, would that pose a problem for the Jehovah's Witnesses in regards to Michael the Archangel as Jesus?

by I_love_Jeff in

if the book of enoch (elaborates and gives mention to 6 more archangels) suddenly became part of the bible due to solid evidence, how would this effect the shakey jw doctrine of michael the archangel as being jesus?

there are six other archangels mentioned in this book; could it be possible, if included in the jw bible, that one of the other archangels could be jesus?

would they excuse it somehow and simply stick with their implicit understanding of jesus=michael?.

Quarterback

Wow, this is all interesting, and very deep. I wish we had it clearer, and not fragmented in pieces in the Bible Canon.

I know that we had as many as 20 Gospel accounts about Jesus in the first century. The early church had to select how to disect the books to complete the Canon.

I'm not sure if the Book of Enoch that Jude quoted from was exactly the Book of Enoch that is found in the Apocrypha. How can we be sure?

dear randall.

here is the daniel of brazil (former bethel).. this week at the forum of former jehovah's witnesses had an interesting news!

No, OODad, I know that you are not kidding. I know that the Society sets family members up as spys. It's sad that we don't have the freedom to share our disagreements with others.

Well, if there are any changes, it will be followed with an announcement that we can't accept it untll the new Service year, in September 2013.

So if it is a change in how you talk to your DF'd relatives, blood doctrine, neutrality, birthday celebrations, pant suits for sisters, beards for men, you may be punished until September 2013.

All of these will be replaced with an additional night for family worship, too.

The golden 3 step official Watchtower retirement plan

by Terry in

if you have any of the following symptoms you may want to consider the golden retirement plan offered by the watchtower society of jehovah's witnesses.. .

1.it's boring!!!

every "new" book reads just exactly like the old ones.

Quarterback

Good Topic.

But, ever notice how many seniors are at the KH's. I think that they come because they are lonely, and this is the only place for them to get some attention. The JW's are good at recognizing their elderly that way.

There is the odd nudge about that 96 year old auxilliary pioneering.
