  Will the GB now accept Higher Learning???

  by 7Starz in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  reported in many news outlets today including the wall street journal: president obama is pushing for the first two years of a community college to be included in the normal education of the country's children.

  the education law currently has a free education from k-12 and obama now wants to include a 2 year community college degree for free (well the tax payers will pick up the tab).

  so basically k-12 and a 2 year college associates degree.. if this becomes law, will the gb change their view on higher education and say:.

  If passed it would require 8 hours of community service per a semester or class, I forget which.

  Lets hope the government picks the community service and not the JW.

  Eph 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God

  Rom 3:29 For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands.

  Good Netflix shows to watch

  by Simon in

  2. entertainment

  in the long winter nights you need some good tv shows to watch while you wait for the eternity between seasons of game of thrones.. we've watched marco polo (pretty good) and have just started watching orange is the new black which is not at all what i imagined (didn't know it was funny!).

  house of cards is on the list too as we've heard good things about that.. anyone have any others that are worth seeing?.

  Mostly stuff from TV that is now on Netflix

  Breaking Bad. Walking Dead, Dexter, The Dollhouse.

  I liked the first few seasons of Haven.

  They only have the first season so far but I just watched Bates Motel, I little teeny bopper but still interesting.

  That guy seems to have a lot of latent issues. I'm pretty sure he's a closet homosexual and this just makes him look jealous of anyone that has a higher education than he does.

  
  

  Edit:

  Just to clarify after rereading, I meant this higher education rant makes him look jealous.... That was meant to be separate from the closet homosexual comment.

  Is Watchtower's position on smoking consistent with its position on masturbation?

  by Island Man in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  watchtower considers masturbation to be a form of uncleanness but not a disfellowshipping offence because the bible says nothing about masturbation.

  a jw who masturbates is likely to face no more than losing privileges in the congregation.. like masturbation, smoking is considered by jws to be a form of uncleannes and like masturbation, the bible says nothing about it.

  but a jw who smokes faces disfellowshipping.. yes, smoking is known to be deleterious to a person's health whereas the jury is still out on the adverse health effects of masturbation.

  confuzzlediam if that is true that is unusual. And outside of the fact that it seems to have gotten you out of the cult you could have contested it. You can contest it and they  bring in an outside body of elders, and you can contest it again and then they bring in a CO or something to that effect. 

  The sad part about disfellowshipng is that feeling guilty and having low self esteem over  sinning seems to be one of the primary reasons for being considered unrepentant. 

  When my friend found out I got DFed he told me I should have played up how sorry I was for the elders. Then he said that the elders are only men and can make mistakes.  He was considered a mature JW and is likely an elder now. I was really surprised by his statement. If he really believed that then I didn't understand how could he be a JW in the first place.

  what DO current Jws say at doors?

  by sowhatnow in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i mean, anyone with a real bible and half a brain doesn't need to log onto a website and read nonsense.. its not a bible study when you present someone a book or magazine to read along in.. its not the gospel, when its not about jesus.

  so what is being pushed in the service meeting to be done at doors?.

  and with what result expected?

  Sample Presentations from the KM:
  
  “We are making brief visits to talk aboutGod. We know that everyone has his own opin-ion about God. Do you think that most peo-ple view him as an impersonal force of natureor as a friend who cares about them personal-ly? [Allow for response.] This Bible verse tellsus what kind of relationship God wants us tohave with him. [Read James 4:8a.] This maga-zine outlines  three things that we can do to feelcloser to God.”
  Some of them say to offer a tract with the link to jw site on them.
