  The revised outline is intended to help speakers deliver funeral discourses of greater warmth and comfort to the audience while still giving a fine witness that honors “the God of all comfort.”

  I don't think the OUTLINE DOES ANY SUCH THING.

  In the instructions at the bottom of the outline is where the help comes from.

  While not overpraising the deceased, you may use events from his life throughout the talk to show how those in attendance can benefit from his example.

  But how many Elders will be able to actually do it? Speaking in complete sentences is a prerequisite - and how many can actually formulate thoughts and words on their own without a script given to them?

  I find the comments at the bottom of the outline and the letter very telling.

  I am glad I did the right thing and made those Talks about the PEOPLE who had died, and about comfort for the family, and NOT a recruitment speech.

  We need to use “thinking ability” and “discernment” to identify “the man speaking perverse things” and those “whose entire course is devious.”

  How you may ask?

  Some feel that they must bring it to the attention of others to get their opinion, but all that does is propagate the malicious information.

  Use your thinking ability to not see what others may say about this event.

  we should ask Jehovah for wisdom and speak to mature brothers about it.

  So you should talk to elders so they can tell you to ignore it.

  THAT'S REALLY USING YOUR THINKING ABILITY!

  Evolution: The Deal Breaker

  by Hadriel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  first off i do believe there are some evidences of evolution or i should probably say adaptation.

  i do believe this exists in various forms.. however the deal breaker for me with evolution is the chick or egg problem.

  there are tons of theories that get passed around as proof of evolution however these are usually examples much further down the evolutionary chain.. what i mean is let's start at the beginning!

  By the way - EVOLUTION is the explanation of the process by which different kinds of living organisms have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth.

  Not how life came about.

  A world without religion? Any different?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i wonder what it would be like, without any religion in the world?

  i don't think it would be like 'imagine' by lennon.. i don't believe it will ever happen.

  even if it did, people are the same.

  Circuit Overseer say. . .

  by Ringo in

  last night i had to suffer through the bs spouted by the new co. some garbage about the bible transforming us as people.

  he went on and on about how we can look good to people at the hall who see the outside, but the bible will tell us what we are inside.. then he proceeded to use a few select verses to say sex is bad and so is the desire for it.

  a healthy bank account or savings is wrong, shouldn't have that either.

  Under WT rules, can JW women file for a divorce? Or can only men file?

  by JimmyPage in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the reason i ask is because while watching the "dateline" episode about ralph candelario, the claim was made that only jw men could file for divorce, not women.

  .

  i had never thought about this before.. also, how does this apply in cases where a husband is "apostate" while the wife is faithful to wt?

  She can file for divorce for whatever reason they want, though there could be issues with privileges like pioneering that could be taken away. Also they would not be "scripturally" be free to date or remarry.

  Besides adultery, spiritual endangerment, or severe physical danger are the WT authorized reasons to divorce without being considered having done something not spiritually wise.
