jehovahs witnesses over on another board are telling me that elders can reprove someone (who sinned and is repentant) privately and that that person does not lose their priveledges.
has anyone here been reproved and kept all their congregation duties?
if so, what does "reproof" actually mean?.
Public or private it is the same, it is only public when publishers are or are going to be aware of the sin. Priveliges are taken and it is up to the elders which restrictions (prayer, talks, comments) are imposed and this has to be specified on the report the committe makes. By the way is it ALWAYS three or more on a judicial committee..

Hi there. Need-greaters do not receive any financiel help from the society. The only thing they have in the DR is a kind of health-insurance. Need-greaters pay a monthly amount of money ($15 I think it was) to the Society and get medicins when they need.
things are warming up this side of the pacific as we approach the summer season, so it's good to have a little relax and a nice cuppa.
time also to think of our poll for the weekend.
are you ready?
Nr. 1 and 2.
In missionary-service, DR, nr.20 : What a nice legs she's got..What a beatiful eyes...

Jesus would drive the best in German engineering, a BMW.Erwin
Amen, praise the lord! BMW freude am fahren.
i can't get over the fact the the gb of the wt society are treated like kings.
aren't they supposed to be "one of the brethren"?
the wt always accuses others of being guilty of "idol" worship when it comes to people of fame (i.e.
You would get sick if you could see the worshipping of the GB-member by the missionaries during the annual meeting at the branch..
the gb-laundry has to be washed seperately?
missionaries get a annual total-control visit (what do you do with the $$$) from the branch?
a yearly keep-up-the-good-work speach from the gb?
To be honest folks, I"ll tell you the real reason.The GB's average age is 85. Can you imagine what the GB's underwear looks like by the end of the day? Would you want to wear a t-shirt that had been washed with 12 old men's underwear??
Good gawd, there would be so many brown spots on your clothes people would call you spot. ..........Oh......not to mention the odor!.......I have to go puke now....I'll see ya
Sorry but this can't be the reason.I personally know brother Kurzen well, he was 93 at that time and his underwear was treated like everybodies....sorry for the detail.
