opusdei197219 hours agoI want to say that I don't think that all was negative in the early christians. Despite its crazy theology and deluded apocalyptic message, early Christianity cared for the poor. It seems that this teaching came originally from Jesus. I think this was his best social contribution. This Christian community invented a social security for the poor, and this is why this religion had success in that time. So, although I no longer believe in Jesus as the Christ, I think that those who claim to be christians must follow this thinking in favor to the poor, if they want to follow the best positive thing of the early christians. So, in my view, the Watchtower religion is against this christian principle. The Watchtower theology only takes the worst of the early Christian theology.

To me this prophecy like the others is akin to someone on peyote or acid. Do you understand this is open to anyone's interpretation? Prophecies are like opinions, they may vary but in the end everyone thinks their's is qualified. -

this is the official policy sanctioned by the governing body.

DATA-DOG: I may well do so.
Cofty: That point didn't occur to her. What did occur to her was that her emotional attachment to everything she holds dear was being attacked.

I posted this on a pro-JW site:
This is the official policy sanctioned by the Governing Body. It's not about indivuals being molesters/deviants. It's about recent published JW policy recommending not only tolerating pedophiles, but actually how to go about considering them for eldership or minsiterial servant positions:http://www.childabuseroyalcommission.gov.au/downloadfile...This is an example of a brainwashed reply:Anna KotasYour reasoning, that "WTpolicy recommending not only tolerating pedophiles, but actually how to go about considering them for eldership or minsiterial servant positions" is warped. That is not at all what I understood from reading it. This document was providing answers to valid questions posed by elders wanting direction on various circumstances involving a FORMER child molester.No need for me to add anything more, the reply says it all ...I am surprised they didn't remove my posting! -

What is their official explanation for not allowing beards?
by keyser soze ini ask because my gf, who knows all about my jw upbringing, convinced me to grow a goatee, just to see how it looks.
we both decided it looked good so i decided to keep it.
i tried to explain to her that as a jw, i wasn't allowed to grow one, but then drew a blank when she asked me why.

Vidiot I wasnt aware of that. Still, why show illustrations of Jesus with a beard and say a beard is wrong? So jesus was wrong? Again, complete morons.
