  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.

  Was that a CO visit or a Stand Up Act?

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

  by JimmyPage in

  1. jw

  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.

  5 for Fighting - 100 Years - maybe the best lyrics ever to a song.

  I'm 15 for a moment
  Caught in between 10 and 20
  And I'm just dreaming
  Counting the ways to where you are
  

  I'm 22 for a moment
  And she feels better than ever
  And we're on fire
  Making our way back from Mars
  

  15 there's still time for you
  Time to buy and time to lose
  15, there's never a wish better than this
  When you only got a hundred years to live
  

  I'm 33 for a moment
  Still the man, but you see I'm a "they"
  A kid on the way, babe.
  A family on my mind
  

  I'm 45 for a moment
  The sea is high
  And I'm heading into a crisis
  Chasing the years of my life
  

  15 there's still time for you
  Time to buy and time to lose yourself
  Within a morning star
  

  15 I'm all right with you
  15, there's never a wish better than this
  When you only got a hundred years to live
  

  Half time goes by
  Suddenly you’re wise
  Another blink of an eye
  67 is gone
  The sun is getting high
  We're moving on...
  

  I'm 99 for a moment
  And dying for just another moment
  And I'm just dreaming
  Counting the ways to where you are
  

  15 there's still time for you
  22 I feel her too
  33 you’re on your way
  Every day's a new day...
  

  15 there's still time for you
  Time to buy and time to choose
  Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
  When you only got a hundred years to live

  Having been an Elder I can tell you that TONS OF TRAINING = Call the branch.

  NO OTHER TRAINING!!!!!

  JWs' love to brag about preaching but.....

  by pleaseresearch in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if what they are preaching about is untrue and false, does it really count?

  i mean over the 100 years plus we have been going, how much of what we taught was absolute crap.

  how many things taught about never came true.

  Yea what's to brag about?

  It takes 7,000 hr to convert 1 person. Keep in mind that is really low balling it!!!!

  Why? Because most people baptised these days are family members - not people off the street.

  Now 7K hrs is about the class time someone needs to get a BA degree in just about anything.

  Embellished assembly interviews/"experiences"

  by ab.ortega in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  oh how wonderful those experiences at assemblies and "schools" are - not.

  at times it seemed as if these "experiences" were scripted.

  the speaker gets criteria in the outline regarding what the experience or interview has to be about.

  What is also a shocker is when you are giving some of the more major talks at DCs and you start to actually look up the outside references (often to some obscure journal or report) to find that it actually is the opposite of what the Outline is saying it is.

  I tried successfully for a few years in using only real facts, and highlighting not the 'magic' but the practical (i thought at the time) value of the scriptures mixed with real life circumstances.

  It did not take long to start to question everything though.

  i would like to get the opinion of those on this community.

  does serving as an elder make one a bad family man.
