  Rumor about the Imitate Jesus Convention

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i saw a rumor a few weeks ago on reddit that the new imitate jesus convention is supposed to present new light and clarified understandings on the disfellowshipping/disassociation practices.. supposedly, if this rumor has any truth to it, there will be a talk given at the convention about how we should not be strict like the pharisees in how we shun people, loosening up some of the jw rules about this practice.. has anyone here heard anything about this or have more info on it?.

  The Thrill Is Gone and so is B.B. King- the REAL King

  i know there's another thread about this specially talented musician's passing- but this guy was a torch carrier from the old bluesmen like muddy waters, howlin wolf, john lee hooker, and lightnin' hopkins who made chuck berry millions of $$$$$$ and collaborated with rock n rollers like bono of u2 .

  these old bluesmen from the 1940's deserve all the credit for the babv that the blues ended up giving birth to- rock and roll music.

  any comments are appreciated and welcome for b.b., music, or the blues in general pour your heart out.

  Saw BB in the early nineties at a blues festival in Philadelphia--what an outstanding performer. He will certainly be missed.

  Throwing a wrench in child baptism.

  by runForever in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  1 corinthians 7:14 tells us: "for the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband; for otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.".

  so the sanctification of children of "christians" depends on the holiness of their parents not the "baptism" of young children.

  Interesting. . . .

  I could imaging the WT take:

  "Well, when this scripture says "children," it doesn't really mean children. What it really means is. . . ." blahblahblahblahblah. . . . .. . . .

  In other words. . . .

  Our new music is complete shit. . . . .

  Our plinky-plonk computer-generated piano accompaniments are complete shit. . . .

  Thus we've had an ADJUSTMENT in our musical recordings. . . .

  In the spirit of Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound". . . . .

  We give you new orchestral renditions of this shit. . . . .

  Which most likely sound like shit.

  Little does the kid know, Jehovah is about as real as his teddy bear!

  Not shocking, but sad indeed.

  Richard Ashe Court Deposition - " Let elders handle child abuse- don't talk about it "

  by flipper in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  as some of you know i was given pdf files of much of the conti and lopez child abuse court cases and asked from a friend to peruse through it and post some excerpts on the board here that may have been missed or not addressed in the pbs newshour report or the abc news nightline report.

  so after going through this richard ashe testimony i feel i found something quite interesting that exposes the real attitudes of the wt society leaders towards child abuse and the attitudes wt leaders put into it's appointed men's minds as well.

  the viewpoint that richard ashe displays is repeated in elders throughout thousands of jw congregations on this planet.
