Well if your privileges burned you can at least get occupied with frequent just-hetero-porn watching, if that is something you for any reason would prefer.

Nathan Knorr's own circuit assembly badge?

by FatFreek 2005 in

for what it's worth, the following image was sent to me in an anonymous email so i can't testify to its authenticity.

she (or he, since it wasn't signed) says he/she was one of the bethel housekeepers and spotted the name tag in a waste basket.

at that time, the early 70's, knorr was regarded by many, including this person, (though disliked by even many bethelites) as god-like.

@Finkelstein

Nope this is for autumn circuit assembly for 1970

Those were the days when we had lapel card also in circuit assemblies, not to forget that they used be three days, or was it even three and a half.

FDS Obedience Vs. JW Marriage

by allyouneedislove in

is the obedience the fds expects from jws the same obedience that jw wives owe their jw husbands?.

if yes, would this mean that a jw wife should submit to any medical direction that came from her husband, even if the consequences were serious?

would this mean that it would be right for a jw husband to tell his wife if blood fractions, organ transplant, etc.

clearpoison

At least when we were getting guidance how to fill the bloody card, it was clearly stated that all the choices you put there are totally personal and family, witness, emergency person should not get involved in that part.

Watchtower threatens to sue their own

by blond-moment in

examining the scriptures daily.

interesting.

.

clearpoison

It is very interesting indeed that the daily text is not on prominent place on their website. There is a schedule for your personal bible reading but not today's text. What would be easier way to keep content dynamic. And I'm sure there is someway to check the time from browser in order to show correct days text.

The very WORST and BEST places to find out what the Bible REALLY teaches?

by Fernando in

worst - religion/ists (pharisees, sanhedrin/gb, ruling religious clergy class).

best - direct from the source (our heavenly father, his son, the holy spirit, john 14:26; 15:26; 16:13; 1 john 2:27) by pursuing their full and counterintuitive "unabridged gospel" message to all humans (rom 10:16,17; isa 61:1; john 8:36).. next best - spiritually strong persons of faith (acts 8:12,26-40, especially verse 35).

your thoughts, suggestions, websites, videos, constructive criticism, quotes - anyone?.

clearpoison

Genesis 1:26, works in both cases.

I don't always study my watchtower but when I do it's during the public talk

by Iamallcool in

i got a text message from a jw, she just send me a picture of a white bearded man with xx beer on the table.

the title of the picture is "i don't always study my watchtower but when i do it's during the public talk.

" i just do not know how to forward the image from the text message.

clearpoison

To the subject matter itself. This suggestion is absolutelly very avantgarde. I had a bad habbit to study it during WT study, and when I was done and the others weren't yet, I studied also the other articles in magazine. My wife used to poke me and look angry at me, but I couldn't help myself.

Brother Hero wants to watch Faith in Action with me this Saturday

by garyneal in

jw
friends

the question i have is, should i even bother?

i am not even sure why he wants to watch this particular video.

ive already seen it with my wife a few days ago and already seen how they leave a lot of details out concerning their teachings of old.

clearpoison

Well, if he against his will is forced/encouraged to watch this film, what wouldn't make more sense than doing this as reportable time.
