  So which makes more sense? Sex or no sex in the "new system"?

  by stillstuckcruz in

  obviously jah wouldn't allow for millions of pregnancies in the new system for fear of the same problem today of overpopulation.

  so would he throw in sex but not allow for the women to become pregnant?

  or would there be just no sex at all?

  Am I wrong about this aspect of WTS theology?

  by drewcoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it seems to me, that if the wts is right, the only thing that would matter is that people are converted to the jw religion before armageddon.

  all people throughout the thousands of years of human history will be resurrected according to them, right?

  only except for those who are df'd when they die.

  Just something I've noticed that makes me wonder...

  by Mr. Falcon in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have found it very odd how much in-fighting and back-biting go on among certian boe's.. and it's rather strange that several (not all) of them will vent to me about how they can't stand this one, or they think this other one is out of line, or that elder's wife talks too much, etc.

  or they whine about how many elder meetings they have to go to, or how they are frustrated because they have to deal with sister loudmouth-who-pisses-off-everyone-else.. and i sit there wondering why they would ever want to continue to do this job?

  it's thankless, offers no compensation, rips you away from your family, and forces you to rub shoulders with company men and puts you in a position where you have to render judgement on someone with little or no understanding of what the psychological consequences to that person could be.

  Background Checks????

  by iamwhoiam in

  i was talking to an elder friend of mine.

  he says they got a letter in that makes it more strict for a brother to reach out as an ms. if there was ever a letter written on the prospected brother regarding past wrongdoing, he is now practically turned down without question by the circuit overseer.

  elder friend said society may even impliment background checks on anyone reaching out.

  I find it funny how....

  by stillstuckcruz in

  i find it hilarious how jw members praise the wbtc for coming out with watchtowers and awake that are so "timely" and "relevent" to our needs and say its because god knows exactly what we need when we need it.

  really....its not that difficult.

  the elders relay so much information about the problems and situations of congregations back and forth, its a simple matter of seeing what been the biggest and most discussed issue and writing an article about it.

  How many elders, HLC members know CPR?

  by just n from bethel in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  anyone who has ever taken a first aid class knows that cpr training and first aid training are basic life saving requirements for anyone in the professional medical community.

  if you were ever discussing any medical choices with someone who wanted to advise you on a medical / health decision, you would want to be comfortable that if something were to happen to you all the sudden, that this person you were seeking advice from could provide basic medical aid, like cpr.

  if it's a nurse or a doctor or a paramedic, you would expect that they would know what to do.

  Elder said people "rarely" die from refusing a blood transfusion

  by InterestedOne in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i sat in on the "know your options" reading tonight, and the elder said a couple things i was wondering about:.

  1. he said if a doctor says you have a high risk of dying if you refuse a blood transfusion, he is misleading you.

  he said people "rarely" die from refusing a blood transfusion.
