  Just to show how Loving the WT is and how reasonable on homosexuality - we have an article in the new Awake:)

  https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/awake-no4-2016-august/bible-say-about-being-gay/

  Here are some loving thoughts from the article

  Some would say that the Bible’s position is cruel. But their claim is based on the premise that we must act on our impulses or that sexual impulses in particular are so important that they should not—even cannot—be controlled. However, the Bible dignifies humans by stating that they can resist their urges. Unlike animals, they can choose not to act on their impulses.—Colossians 3:5. (So practicing homosexuals are like animals -nice)        

  Consider a comparison: Some experts (WHO? - its always some experts) say that certain behavioral traits, such as aggression, may have a biological cause. The Bible does not specifically comment on the biology of aggression, but it does acknowledge that some people are “prone to anger” and “disposed to rage.” (Proverbs 22:24; 29:22) Yet, the Bible also says: “Let go of anger and abandon rage.”—Psalm 37:8; Ephesians 4:31.

  WT's 2 BOE Letters Flip-Flop!

  by JW GoneBad in

  everyone knows about the recent across-the-board okay to use electronic devices in jw worship.

  few, though, know about how not long ago it was considered a taboo.. first, there was that dc talk a couple of years back where they nearly demonized simply the ownership of a smart phone, ipads (i phones, blackberries, etc) let alone the use of them at meetings.

  they brought out that they were a waste of time, expensive and that they exposed a christian to satan's world on the internet.

  This is funny.

  For example, the user (whether on the platform or in the audience) should set his device to a mode that would not emit sounds, and he should void electronic alerts, such as incoming e-mail notifications.

  Really??? So glad the GB prayerfully thought about that and advised us.
  How would any Elder have know to turn the sound off without that spiritual advice!

  New Spiritually Weak Label: Not Using Tablet/iPhone

  by Doubtfully Yours in

  2. beliefs

  with last night's meeting it became official: here in the states is a must to keep up with 'jehovah's org' that one fully jumps on board with this tablet/iphone crap.. so, now, all of us that up to this point have refused to follow the wtbts in their electronic/wireless revolution will deal with the browbeating from the 'spiritual' ones.. already receiving lots of grief from hubby and rest of the family/close friends when seen at the meetings with paper publications.

  damn it!!!

  am i alone in this resistance???!!!.

  What's funny is that not that long ago - elders were told by a letter from the WT to NOT use iPads on stage. "It would promote class divisions in the congregation with those who didnt have them."

  Now you can't be a good christian without one:) - SEE LETTER BELOW

  TO ALL BODIES OF ELDERS IN THE UNITED STATES BRANCH TERRITORY

  Re: Use of electronic tablets

  Dear Brothers:

  We have received inquiries on the use of an electronic tablet, such as an iPad, when conducting the WatchtowerStudy or for viewing notes when giving a public talk. Herein we wish to provide some guidelines concerning this matter.

  There is no objection to the use of an electronic tablet by an attendee in the audience as a means of following along with the material being presented. However, at this time, an electronic tablet or other similar device should not be used on the platform, such as for reading the paragraphs at the Watchtower Study, conducting a meeting, or giving a talk of any kind.

  In addition to the possibility of a technical problem occurring, it is felt that using an electronic tablet from the platform could prompt others to feel that they too should invest in such a device. Additionally, since many brothers cannot afford such a device, using one prominently from the stage could, in effect, create “class distinctions” or appear to be a “showy display of one’s means of life.”—Jas. 2:4; 1John 2:16.

  Thank you for noting this direction. We send our warm Christian love.

  BY the way - i don't think the price of iPads have changed since then? Maybe JWs are so much more affluent now:) THEY ARE HORRID

  Understanding The Bible ... The "Linchpin" Effect

  by Littleleslie in

  understanding the holy bible.. .

  after many years of study of scripture, our bible study group has discovered something very important that needs to be realized or absorbed, before one can come to a correct understanding of the bible.

  we call it, the "linchpin" effect... .

  The "apostacy stigmatisation" of doing research!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a thought occurred that the way the society has stigmatised the doing of external research by witnesses, and labelling any such questioning as "apostate", is tragic.. no doubt, in every other aspect of life, we research things before making decisions.

  eg, if making a purchase, we go online and check reviews etc to check the product out.

  we don't just trust the words of the marketing department.

  And its not overt hate speech but it is a lesson on how to indoctrinate discrimination and if you don't believe that its your choice but I think its not JUST manipulation.

  100% right freemindfade. Most JWs hate gays - always talked about as if they are sick and disgusting.
