yes, the may 15th watchtower is now available for download from jw.org.. the final study article, on page 26, directs another salvo at apostates - and warns witnesses not to try arguing with them on the internet:.

indeed, we ought to move as far away from wrongdoing as possible and not see how close we can get to it without being overcome by sin.

for instance, we need to guard against succumbing to apostasy, a sin that would make us unfit to glorify god.

Stealth....Amen brother!! If i believed in actually saying Amen.

Cedars....Excellent post!! If they are writing negatively about apostates, then apostates must be doing something right.

Does the necktie have a pagan origin?

by Cirkeline in

i wonder if some of you know the origin of the necktie?

i have sometimes heard people saying it's a fallos-symbol, but is there a valid background for this?.

.

Hmm...I've heard of the Columbian Neck Tie..wouldn't want one though. :)

Rick Fearon should apologise for accusing faders of being cowards

by cedars in

jw
friends

i hate doing this type of thread.

none of us are perfect, least of all myself, and i would rather focus any criticism on the watch tower society for damaging people's lives.

however, in the short period since i've been a member of this forum i've noticed one member in particular deteriorate in his behaviour into the type of individual who threatens to undermine the credibility of the entire website.

Hmm...

So is everyone saying that we should disfellowship RF from the forum since he is unrepentant?

I do not care for RF, his website, his methods, or his over the top radio show with charlitanistic guests; which means that I choose not to take him or his posts seriously. I think most people, except for a few new ones, can see right through his bullshit. That being said, he should have the right to spew his shit to the forum since he was once a JW like us.

I post here anonymously, I could care less what RF thinks about me since I only care what I think about me. Everyone here has thier own reasons for posting/lurking/coping, and we should focus on that.

Keep up the good work Cedars, Marvin, and the like...you do great work and make everyones path much easier to follow.

Changed or Misprinted?

by iamwhoiam in

so..who here has examples of where the society printed something in a book or magazine...and then when a newer version of the book or bound volume came out...they changed what they wrote to cover up a mistake or to further a doctrinal change?.

iamwhoiam

They sure did...insert from the 06 KM

Should marijuana be considered a disfellowshipping offense?

by Celestial in

should marijuana be considered a disfellowshipping offense?

there's plenty of evidence that tobacco has cancer causing agents and can thus be deemed a defilement of the flesh.. .

therefore, since we have these promises, beloved ones, let us cleanse ourselves of every defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in gods fear.

iamwhoiam

its just a plant man....put it in a batch of brownies or vaporize it.

smoking anything is unhealthy for your lungs.

more importantly...be really careful because it could open your mind up to demonic influences which is even worse. hehe..j/k
