  What's the most dumbest/petty thing you've heard of someone being "stumbled" over?

  by Reality79 in

  2. beliefs

  - some loser once took offense that i hugged a sister goodbye at a leaving do and ran back to the elders like a little child telling on me.

  i was 15, this sister was in her 40s at the time.. - this elder said someone told him they saw me with a copy of the sun newspaper.

  yes, this paper is known for its 'page 3' topless girls but far from pornagraphic and i wasn't even thinking along those lines.. - one brother who had a good job was 'counselled' because he was actually able to buy himself nice things including a new car (shock, horror!!

  Smurf Rumors - 2 Questions

  by A question in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as the board no doubt knows, there was some sort of rumor in the early 1980s going around amongst the witnesses that a smurf doll came to life in the kingdom hall, or that smurfs were demonic.. 2 questions:.

  1. do any not remember any such rumors though they were witnesses at the time?.

  2. of those who do, did all the witnesses believe them, or otherwise, what proportion rejected the rumor as nonsense?.

  Watchtower = Elders can disfellowship people for being too FAT!!! Has this happened?

  by Witness 007 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  watch 1974 p.167 "by disobediently overindulging in food and making a glutton of himself, he fails to show love for jehovah...if in the presence of others does he selfishly ignore there needs and take more than his share?

  is he grossly overwieght but shows no restraint at all as to food, habitually gorging himself?

  does he feel un-comfortable, perhaps even sick because of eating too much ...glutton has no place in god's congregation...they will not inherit god's kingdom...".

  Was Michael Jackson reproved in 1983 and DF/DA in 1989?

  by Olin Moyles Ghost in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there seems to be quite a bit of conflicting information about michael jackson's jw status as a young man.

  it's clear that he was raised a witness and that he was a practicing witness (a publisher) in the 1970s and early 1980s.

  but there's some uncertainty about (1) whether he was baptized, and (2) whether and when he was df/da.. i was looking around on yahoo answers and found the following question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=aqerwd.lhqkco.59fnqahbrty6ix;_ylv=3?qid=20090628174024aafwsky&show=7.

  Anyone remember this former C.O.: Kevin Wright?

  by Olin Moyles Ghost in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  during the early 2000s, kevin wright was the c.o.

  for a circuit that included several of my friends.

  i remember hearing my friends complain about what a tool this guy was--and these complainers weren't just "lowly" publishers--some of them were elders and pioneers.
