.. 19 the worldliness of some clergy has even been exposed in the media in recent times, as for example the licentious and luxurious life-styles of some tv clergymen.

Actually Jesus is not bound by time, so it probably dosen't mean much to him, so I say 'no', he probably wouldn't wear one. However Max Larson's time is short, and he probably would like one to watch,to help make time go slower before the (his) end!

1. Gets at least 10 hours a month in the Field Service.

2. Never misses meetings.

3. Has a family Watchtower Study and other publication study weekly.

4. Is at least a Ministerial Servant but preferably an Elder.

5. Works On 'Quick Build' Kingdom Halls as often as possible.

6. Delights in being in on Judicial Committees.

7. Uses the entire Summer vacation visiting an assembly and working unassigned territory.

8. Arranges for field ministry one hour before the Tuesday night bookstudy.

9. Only buys 4 door cars.

10. Follows Organizational rules to a tee and makes sure his wife and family does too!

Well, there you have it. Good men are hard to find!

For Solo Adams, concerning Paul and Women

by aChristian in

with this in mind, paul's words in 1 tim.

because it is obvious from their context that paul's words in 1 tim.

" however, as i have here shown, paul's words in 1 tim.

Having looked at both sides of this conversation, I tend to agree with aChristian on this point. Of course the prevailing culture and viewpoints of 2000 years ago would naturally be somewhat different then than now, an example, the slavery issue, but that didn't mean all viewed those things as the best for all concerned even though that was the way things were.

Part 8: Defining Moment - visit with Ray Franz

by Amazing in

i asked jesus to help me be just a christian, and no more religion in my life.

when he answered, i told him who i was, and that i just sent off a letter ... but i wanted to talk to him to see if he might be available on the weekend i was there.

ray would not hear of it, and asked me to stay at his home for the weekend with he and his wife.

Amazing,

One thing that is impressed on my mind when reading your 'posts' is that JW's and ex-JW's can argue religion, and doctrine all day long but no one can question your own personal testimony! Yours and our experiences are real and not open to debate by anyone!

Dear Brothers,

Our literature history shows how well we like to give it to the Catholic Church! We have a great opportunity now!

The National news is reporting that the Archdiocese of Boston, Massachusetts is being sued for millions of dollars by members who have been molested when they were young, by Elders, excuse me, I mean Priests! They have settled some individual cases for $10,000,000.00!

Nows the time to put an article in THE WATCHTOWER and show what dirty guys them Catholics are! Like before, you know!

Looking forward to your 'giving them Hell' so-to-speak. Thanks to God that we have a 'safe' place to worship!

Your Brother,

When To Stop Being X ?????

by ladonna in

jw
friends

when is it time to stop being an xjw, or an x anything?

when is it time to stop being on xjw forums?

when is it time to just live?.

Outaservice

Ladonna,

Some need to distance themselves from it. Others who might feel a calling or need to have a ministry toward JW's and'or ex-JW's might want to keep up with the Organization so as to stay current on all the BS that comes from it. Some can use infomation like the UN connection or pedophile situation to possibly help family members still in the Watchtower to take another look at it.

So, personally I think it varies with each individual. There are some benefits to run as fast as you can in the other direction when you get out and see the light, but some need to deal and process their experience over a period of time.
