  The Biblical reasoning behind a judicial comitee?

  by CitizenofEarth in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was wondering today what i would say if i ever were to be called to a judicial trial in the congregation, and my conclusion was that i didn't really have any biblical defense against it.

  so i was wondering what you guys would recommend.

  it seems far fetched to me that the bible condones a 1 vs 3 biased trial (where you already have been judged beforehand), instead of one where you have a unbiased judge, a defense and a prosecutor/accuser.

  So the calling on the Older men to Grease your head with oil isn't a exact parallel of the modern Judicial Committee?

  Shocking!

  i come from a catholic background, but most recently had been with the churches of christ.

  i have contacted my local congregation and will be talking with someone tomorrow, hopefully setting a study up for next week.

  i want to study scripture, but also want to immerse myself in everything jw publishes.

  Hello Rob,

  Just to let you know it will be hard for you to immerse yourself in everything JW publishes.

  They will only give you what is currently out now.
  This is because the many many root dogma has changed through the years.
  Books that were published as Truth just a few years ago are know eliminated, for new Truth.

  See this happens all the time with the Watchtower.
  Go to Wikapedia and check their history of false prophecies, changing policy and changing beliefs.

  JWFacts.com is great since it puts it all in one place too.

  Final comment - RUN WHILE YOU CAN!

  After being in the so-called "Truth" makes me despise all religions.

  after being a jw made me lose trust in religion, from the lies, hypocrisy and greed of this organization made me lose faith completely.

  what does one do after this mind f$%@, what is there to look forward to?

  do i make up my own agnostic theory in head and hope for the best?

  One thing being a JW did real well is show you how all other religions are False - so when you find out JWs are false, well - why would you go to one of the others.

  loyalty—part of the new personality (s-341a-18-e 5/17).

  note to the circuit overseer:.

  use this outline for the tuesday service talk from september 2017 through february 2018. you will need to prepare your own 30-minute service talk for use after the watchtower study.

  The Elders who out of jealousy, incompetence, and who prefer ass kissing over doing whats right - stabbed me in the back will hear this and be happy to use it to make themselves feel better. "I was to smart for my own good"

  Jupiter protects the earth... another example of intellectual dishonesty and an argument against design

  by cognisonance in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm taking a university astronomy course, and i must say it's really fun to read about this field.

  anyway, i remember the jws used to use jupiter (and probably still do) as an example for how unique and special our solar system is (and thus designed) -- namely, that jupiter protects the earth from astroids, comets, and meteors.

  convincing if one doesn't know any better, especially circa 1994 when jupiter stepped in front of a comet for us... but this isn't the full story!

  Watchtower study today - best practice in word

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  due to family reasons gorby was present today.. the watchtower study was about refugee's.. how to treat refugee's, jw and non believers, and help them spiritual, not financial.

  nothing new.. what i mentioned is the juridical message underneath the whole story.

  don't talk politics, listen to government regulations etc.. most bizar is that a whole congregation that normaly avoid giving any aid to people in need, this morning gave the best practice in word about what to do with refugee's.. if the subject was not that serious, this hypocracy could be funny.

  Surely a Watchtower and Awake is what all refugees need?
  Food and shelter are so temporary.

  It was a sick article.
