Loved the Ms.Saigon soundtrack. Would sing to my heart's content...Of course there is one cuss word in it and I used to turn down the volume and turn it right back up after it was said.

What Stupid Things Would You Do Or Not Do That Were "Conscience Matters"?
by minimus ini remember i couldn't get involved with any christmas songs while in school but i could sing "let it snow let it snow let it snow" because technically it wasn't a real "christmas" song.. looking back, what silly things did you allow or not allow on the grounds of "conscience"?.

Smoking...Older than the Bible...
by Botzwana inhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/tobacco_smoking.
so if the practice of smoking is older than the bible, why wasn't it listed as a sin in the bible since jehovah's witnesses consider it a sin?
surely it was popular to do back then right?.

Strange, Offensive , Weird Statements on DFing Offenses in Elders Manual
by flipper inyou really can't make this stuff up.
but an organization like the wt society bent on controlling virtually every aspect of the typical jehovah's witness life - would make this up to keep their control through the use of fear and guilt.
so- i thought i'd share what i thought was the strangest, most offensive, weird language dealing with what the wt society calls " disfellowshipping offenses " .

Farkel, Please explain more! This is the FIRST time I have ever heard that fornication and adultery don't mean what I have previously thought them to mean. A Biblical example I think of is Phineas...Didn't he bang a moabite woman and was killed for it?
I did wonder about animals though .Since Jehovah created everything WHY is ok for monkeys to do each other in the butt and for other animals to have multiple partners yet humans are the only ones who are going to die at A if we do such things...Why isn't God punishing the animals too?

Another question about the Governing Body
by dgp innow that all the members of the original governing body have completed their earthly course, a question popped into my mind.. i know that there was no governing body prior to 1971. before that, how was jehovah supposed to communicate with the anointed?
and, how come he decided to have a governing body, so that the new light would come to more men, instead of just the president of the watchtower?
why was a governing body not there since 1914, for example?.

Sir82, But didn't David talk about it too? Those that hide what they are I do not come in etc. So you have two Bible writers talking about the same thing.

Yes Jesus preached forgiveness etc. But was not Paul handpicked by Jesus himself? Aren't Paul's words to have major impact as well? If you think it's a personal opinion then how can anyone take anything Paul says any other way? Either it's his personal opinion, or it's holy spirit. Which is it?

The watchtower eats humble pie in trying to locate and reinstate all those wrongly disfellowshiped?
by still wondering inwhat happens when the rules regarding medical treatment are changed because it is now decided that the watchtower god does allows certain blood fractions after all but which formerly the wts said would offend him so much that offenders would be sent to gehenna?.
blood serums are just one example.
in 1954 the societys ruling on blood serums disallowed their use because using blood serums was displeasing to god.

Paul pointed out that the church must explain to this person what he is doing wrong and IF he understands that what he is doing is wrong and continues to do so, that they should send him on his way and not deal with him at all.
I have no idea if I am doing this right. I am trying to put the above text into a quote box. When you say not deal with him at all, does that not mean shunning. To have no dealings with someone.... What else could it mean?

I thought the Bible talks about disfellowshipping...Don't even eat with such a man ring any bells?
