Masturbation is not a committee-case.

disfellowshipping on smoking.. especially smoking a cigar from time to time does not have to be harmfull.
but i personally have disfellowshipped persons for smoking sigarettes, although i never saw a good biblical base.i mean ..how many filthy fat friends did we have, addicted to sugar, carbs, and you just knew they were going to have health-problems sooner or later.
now i smoke cigars, maybe one good cuban a day, and i am slim, active and can run 10 miles without any problems.. who had the same doubts about this dogma?
Sorry LB if I offended you, but seeing 200 pound sisters and brothers at the convention was not really good taste. That's filthy, someone eating his own grave.

After all, Rutherford smoked cigars.
Larc, how do you know this? Do you have any proof? Could you share it?

This is what I posted LB, I do not judge fat people, I don't care at all, if someone wants to be fat, hey no problem as long it's not my girl-friend. My point was that there are loads of fat people who are fat because of overeating or wrong food (sugar and carbs, most extremely fat people are alergic to carbs, but that is another discussion). I am not saying they should be disfellowshipped, I am saying you should judge smokers the same way....do not judge them at all.The reason for df smokers has not much to do with the harm you could cause to others, but to clean your body from all contamination.If that would be a reason it would be easy, than you could smoke as a JW but out in the field.
Yeah, that's why we have it...makes you happier
It's almost 3.00 PM! It is, in Europe..
i seem to recall someone talking about having the list of points for the weight watchers point system diet.
my sister and some of her co workers are planning on going to a weight watchers free meeting.
i told her of course the will have you pay up , and it is not that expensive, but i told her i might can get the information from someone on the internet.
LyinEyes:
The only dieet you can follow and will help you for always is to cut down on carbohydrates. So no spaghettei, bread, rice lasagne, but eat lots of vegetables and meat and fish.
If you cut down for a week your carb-intake to 0,0 you will loose 4 or 5 pounds, that's because your body start to use fat for energy.Try it it works!!
Uhhhh, got no time for the meetings, my friends wait at the local club

Who had the same doubts about this dogma??
when one looks at the watchtower publications they soon notice that the writers quote from many different books and encyclopedias in order to try to prove their beliefs and teachings.i would assume that the authors of the articles read these books in detail so as to be certain that they are quoting in context.since they read and quote from so many sources,it seems to suggest that there are many good books on the market that are not written by jehovah's witnesses and yet contain a lot of truth which agrees with watchtower's teachings.so for any lurking jw's,are you free to read these various books?why can the authors of the watchtower publications in brooklyn read these books but not the average jehovah's witness?

I tell you, I spent many many hours in the Patterson library (Brooklyn library sucks) and there are many books on sexuality and occultism that I would not like to have in mine at that time.
