Sunday, 1:50 pm

. . . we have to walk the highway of holiness for the next 1000 years.

Something is not right: By the year 2014 JCs Kingdom rule is either only 900 years or it will be 1,100 years long.

Today's watchtower admits they appoint people who are sinners
by hoser in
1. watchtower
2. bible
from paragraph 12. one brother began viewing pornography at the age of 12, and he continued to do so in secret for over a decade.

he relates: it was very hard to admit to my wife and to the el- ders what id been doing.

but now that i have admitted it, i feel that a huge weight has been taken off my shoulders.

First off: A publisher viewing pornography that is not 'abhorrent' is of no interest to the elders. Heck, they themselves probably watch regular porn.
Unless a person starts promoting porn or encourages others to watch it with him.

Second: A person persisting in this practice would not be considered as exemplary and thus would not qualify for special privileges in the congregation. However, they will not deal with it judicially.

.

Unfortunately though, the minute an emotionally unstable person comes forward and involves the elders with it, this 5-point checklist has their minds already saying 'guilty':
- Did he come forward voluntarily?
- Was he ever counseled about viewing pornography?
- If he is married and his wife is aware of his problem, what effect has this had on her?
- Does he demonstrate an earnest desire to desist from viewing pornography?
- Does his conscience allow him to continue serving in an appointed position?
Then they will turn on you in person, asking these drooling questions:
- Did watching porn consist of a few brief incidents?
- Was it a practice spanning many months, or even years?
- What type of pornography did you look at?
- Did you jerk off while watching it?
- When was the last time you viewed porn?
- Who else is aware of the problem?
- Did you invite your partner to watch porn with you over popcorn and soda?
- Do those knowing you look at porn still respect you?

"Abhorrent" pornography, as per WTBTS definition:
- sexually degrading
- homosexuality
- group sex
- bestiality
- sadistic torture
- bondage
- gang rape

Is it okay for JW to take Medical Marijuana?

just wondering.

.

Of course it's alright to take cannabis as food just like the tobacco plant.

.

.

Tobacco addicts cannot Scripturally defend themselves by arguing that God created the tobacco plant and that it is part of the “vegetation” that God gave mankind for “food.” (Gen. 1:29) Tobacco users do not use it as “food” by eating the green leaves as a salad or cooking it like spinach.

w73 6/1 p. 339 par. 16
