  Festering Helplessness

  by indireneed in

  i wanted to take this opportunity to vent some frustration and ask for suggestions on how to proceed .

  .. my wife is just preparing to be baptized this weekend.

  i have tried to dissuade her numerous times, even preparing a logical argument that i thought was indisputable.

  On shunning

  by joelbear in

  1. jw

  on shunning.. the watchtower basically points to two reasons to shun people:.

  1) it will make the wrongdoer think about their course of life and help them to come back to "the truth".. 2) it will protect your faith in jehovah and will keep you from being stumbled.. i think there are really 2 other reasons.. 1) fear of being shunned themselves for associating with you.. 2) to punish you for not thinking or being like them anymore.

  kind of a revenge thing.

  i always get to do what i want.....for example
  I like to shun former dubs who have a total reliance
  on the approval of others and are constant sympathy seekers.

  Crisis of Conscience: POLL

  by Grout in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, i'm finally reading coc, and i must tell you that despite already being an ex-dub i was *shocked*.

  the thing that got me was the gb's apparently unselfconsciously acting above all the rules that they would apply so harshly to everyone else.

  maybe i'm naive, but i didn't expect that level of hypocrisy.. so what did you find most shocking in coc?

  How are Governing Body members chosen?

  by crownboy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since it wouldn't make sense for the society to choose "orginal" (i.e.

  pre-1935) annointed ones for the gb because they're so old now, how do they choose the new ones?

  couldn't a "newer" annointed simply declare himself to be one just so he could get on the body?
