  many of us were told that since birth.

  Jeezus, go back far enough in history, and pretty much everything has “pagan” origins.

  so the wt society is going to contest the recent norway ruling.. jehovah’s witnesses to appeal unconstitutional ruling in norway (jw.org).

  their true colours are shown in the statement: "the decision to deregister jehovah’s witnesses denies us the financial aid and other benefits that the government provides to over 700 registered religious communities in the country.

  additional consequences include losing the right to appoint and authorize ministers of jehovah’s witnesses as officiants for weddings.".

  BTW…

  …I used to suspect the Org had a pathological habit of shooting itself in the foot.

  It’s no longer a suspicion.

  I always figured it’s because they know the statement is correct and resent it.

  (Now watch me get one. 😏)

  When did JWS start disfellowshipping and why?

  by lettersfromthevoid in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i know this question has been discussed, but i can't find the topic i was just looking at, so.... one thing about this is that the other posters here didn't mention, that i noticed anyway, that there was this member of the gb in the 40s and early 50s (but possibly during rutherford) who was at odds with rutherford or knorr, and they wanted to do away with them, so they accused (falsely) that person, then they declared that the punishment for that sin was something they invented, or at least once iteration of, what we know as the modern disfellowshipping practice among jws.. so, that is why they invented that doctrine; they.

  Remember, folks…

  the watchtower society's registration with the united nations revisited!

  [by jamaican winston gillum].

  this video makes a very factual, excellent presentation on the morally precarious position being placed upon all active jehovah's witnesses globally, because of the watchtower society's clandestine affiliation with the united nations as ngos, in the recent past.. please click here to see video: http://jehovahstruth.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=83.

  Well…

  …considering they’re (reportedly) overhauling WT eschatology, and the new-and-improved version probably won’t portray the UN as Darth Sidious’ Galactic Empire, it might not matter all that much in the long run.

  JW memories are short… we’ll probably be (justifiably) pissed at that particular hypocrisy for a good long while, but it’ll just be us.

  Sorry to say it. 😕

  lettersfromthevoid - “When did JWS start disfellowshipping and why?”

  When too many members started figuring out the WTS was wrong.

  Which kind of answers both questions.

  Is there really a Bible rule against sex without marriage?

  by Halcon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  regarding the poster from jw headquarters, who claimed that the gb would eventually loosen the rules regarding sex.

  the question is, is there really a bible rule explicitly prohibiting sex without marriage?

  because this would be the only possible reason why loosening those rules would even come up in a discussion.

  Biahi - “…I attended a bible study where it was suggested that Paul’s ‘thorn in the flesh’ was actually homosexuality…”

  Wouldn’t surprise me… preachers have a long, proud history of railing against shit they hate about themselves.

  Oh god, I just had a thought…

  …what if the Apostle Paul was puttin’ it to Timothy, and that’s the real reason behind the kerfuffle with Barnabus?

  there once was a shepherd boy who was bored as he sat on the hillside watching the village sheep.

  to amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, "wolf!

  peacefulpete - “…I have come recently to suspect Paul himself was conservative and probably a hardnose…”

  What was your first clue?

  The misogyny?

  Or the homophobia?
