  in the congregation it is usually said that Gossip even if true can be harmful, i would say if it IS true then it cannot be slander. ??

  hmm I've just read the insight book under slander and it is far from clear what it actually is... but it does say that nothing can be slander if reporting a matter to the Elders. no surprises there.

  *** it-1 p. 990 Gossip, Slander ***

  On the other hand, it is not gossip or slander and is not wrong to report conditions affecting a congregation to those having authority and responsibility to oversee and correct matters. This fact is demonstrated in the Scriptural record about the Christian congregation in ancient Corinth. There, dissensions and the paying of undue honor to men were creating sectarian attitudes, destroying the congregation’s unity. Some members of the house of a certain Chloe who were aware of these things and were concerned about the congregation’s spiritual welfare disclosed the fact to the absent apostle Paul, who acted quickly, writing corrective counsel to the congregation from Ephesus.—1Co 1:11.

  PLEAAASE modify the captcha logic on this website

  by redvip2000 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm desperately begging to the administrators of this website, to please modify the logic of the captchas used to validate the logins.. they were perfectly acceptable up to sometime in the last few days when they seem to have been modified.

  the level of deciphering needed to read the captchas has gone up tremendously.

  it took me about 30 attempts for this last login.. please revert the logic as it was before, where you had 2 words, one easy to read and another moderately hard to decipher..

  Hate them. cant we have numbers instead if it is imperative that we have them at all.

  i agree with darthfader.

  i think captcha would be fine for the first 10 logins/posts. I think once its clear that we are contributing to the forum we dont really need captcha.

  i cannot click the remember me on the shared computer

  great job Diana, your very clever. AnnOmaly is correct, their is extra phrasing at the end of the verses.

  here is my small improvement for 3rd verse:

  Billions and billions of corpses,

  Struck down both far and near.

  God's cloud of radiation

  Cleared them all outta here.

  And as they keep on rotting --

  Mountains of putrid men, (hold mennnnn with higher note)

  Patient, we wait on God's word ---> Patiently(Pay-Shant-Lee), waiting (Way-Ting) for God's New Scrolls

  On how to dispose of them.

  Seven times

  by Jeffro in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the book of daniel was almost certainly written in the 2nd century bce, probably based on some historical accounts mixed with jewish folklore.

  with that in mind, and given that there isn't any evidence that nebuchadnezzar went insane for seven 'times', is there any other period from which the reference to "seven times" at daniel 4:13-17 may be derived?.

  i continued beholding in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, look!

  however you look at it JW's have it wrong.

  i cant see the Egibi family revising their own business records

  or stelle Guppi not really being 100yr old or so.

  Larsinger i think you should put all that down in a book, you have really put alot of time into the subject and clearly have good writing skills.

  then the historians, archaeologists, professors of the neo-babylonian, medo-persian history can critique/comment on your work.

  it might make best seller.

  The WT sense of "true"

  by smmcroberts in

  2. beliefs

  i always liked the wt definition of "truth".. too bad what they teach has been the antithesis of that definition, as i relate in my latest blog: the watchtower sense of "true".. as for me, i love the truth!

  that's why i left..

  blues brother: once i let that doctrine dissapear, i looked at those in the world differently.... the person who im behind in the street who puts in the charity box while i look at the text i just pretended to get. the guy down the street who gets the shopping for the infirm and housebound because he wants to.

  little things that i would dismiss without a second thought hit me like a train, how can we judge others who God may declare righteous, just because they do not accept the Watchtower and Awake! on a saturday morning.... not me, no more.

  Getting Back In (yes, its for family) What do I Say on 3rd Try?

  by Meadow36 in

  2. friends

  in my last meeting to be re-instated they said for next time figure out which person from the bible i'm most like.

  and be ready to tell them what i pray about and how i feel about what i did to jehovah.

  being honest , speaking from the heart about jesus forgiving peter and having a hard time answering the prayer question didn't work getting hysterical and nervous-breakdownish at the end didn't help, nor did running out of the hall after saying i could never do any better.

  i enjoyed reading your letter and i also took the course. i would say re your letter that i find things written by Russel to be well meaning and offer a good level of understanding for christians. unfortunately it all gets lost in the endless quest for bible chronolgy and the crazy ideas that this brought forth that were then published and given as "gods dates not ours", it is difficult to then view with any seriousness anything the man wrote once i get to the pull out of a pyramid of Divine Plan Of The Ages. what is more unfortunate is if it was not for ideas he presented for bible chronology then who would have even heard of the man today?
