  Coronavirus: Punishment from Jehovah and a sign from Jesus!

  2. beliefs

  the watchtower has taught for over a century that plague is part of jesus’ sign letting earth know he’s lurkin’.... combined with the recent acceleration by the chinese gubmint of ejecting jws from china, it’s no surprise that dubs are of the belief that ‘jehovah is punishing china’.. dubs must be expecting a few large earthquakes to strike china in the next weeks with possibly a war or two, to round out the pain of jesus’ sign to these wicked jehovah haters..

  The bottom line is, law enforcement may care a little, but far too little. Actually, it looks to me that they mostly don’t give a damn about kids.

  I was out in FS today, actually I had to take the group.

  LOL I am the biggest “apostate” in town, done more damage locally than WT knows.

  We call having anything to do with Watchtology “showing the face”. Meetings FS or conventions.

  LOL the summer convention was a quick walk around the grounds to be seen by elder types. Then off to sight seeing.

  Talking to the dubs is dismal. Some are burnt in, cooked to the core. Others are obviously doing their own “showing the face” and don’t realize they are half out.

  Weather was poor, perfect day for FS. Drove to see one call, guy was completely disinterested. Then off to coffee. Day was done.

  And that was too much. Ok, I’m done for a month.

  Clergy Penitent Privilege

  by lastmanstanding in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  this privilege is not biblical.. neither is it supported is any jw teaching or publication.. the catholic church invented it, and its primary use is.... drum roll please.... to grant absolution.. do jehovah’s witness elders, who seek the same invented privilege, also grant absolution?.

  if a jw elder hears “a sacred confession” then he must also grant absolution, absolving the sinner of his crimes.... er... sin..

  I understand what people are saying but my big gripe is Watchtower seeking and finding and “out” with clergy privilege.

  Watchtower condemns the clergy’s role, yet they seek it for themselves. Why would today’s corrupt courts let Watchtower enjoy something that Watchtower condemns.

  When did the modern practice of confession begin? Religion in the Medieval West states: “A new form of penance was introduced in France in the late sixth century by Celtic monks. . . . This was auricular confession, in which the penitent confessed his sins privately to a priest, and it was an adaption of the monastic practice of spiritual counselling.” According to the older monastic practice, the monks confessed their sins to one another to get spiritual help in order to overcome their weaknesses. In newer auricular confession, however, the church claimed for the priest the much greater “power or authority to forgive sins.”​—New Catholic Encyclopedia.

  Did Jesus really give some of his followers such power? What did he say that has led some to this conclusion?

  Most Protestant churches deny the need for private confession to a priest. They hold that confession to God is sufficient for the forgiveness of sins, but some favor general confession and absolution at the “Communion service.” Many Protestants believe that faith alone is necessary to be justified before God.

  Jehovah’s Witness do not believe is “sacred confession” and their publications condemn it.

  Why has no lawyer argued against JWs being granted the privilege when they preach against it.
