  Interesting Wallpaper

  my wife and i live in a small town in northern new jersey.

  there is a building near our house that, many decades ago, used to be the local post office.

  it sat idle for many years, but a couple of years ago, some folks bought it and renovated it into a nice little cafe.

  Don't tell the WT, they'll be printing experiences of how one of their articles ended up as wallpaper and someone came into the "truth" lol

  I'd love to know how much of the donated money would actually make it to those people. Not much i'm betting.

  by Designer Stubble in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the new awake is up on jw.orgwith the legalization of gay marriage in many countries, they decided it was time to show: "what does thebible say about homosexuality?

  "does the bible promote prejudice?still, some people would say that the bible promotes prejudice against homosexuals and that those who adhere to itsmoral code are intolerant.

  ‘the bible was written at a time when people were narrow-minded,’ they claim.

  We had an elder that used one on stage a few years ago. Then a letter from the society was read that they shouldn't be used on stage but could be used in the audience. A year later the light got super bright and they were allowed to be used on stage! Such a fast moving crazy train :)

  New Spiritually Weak Label: Not Using Tablet/iPhone

  by Doubtfully Yours in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with last night's meeting it became official: here in the states is a must to keep up with 'jehovah's org' that one fully jumps on board with this tablet/iphone crap.. so, now, all of us that up to this point have refused to follow the wtbts in their electronic/wireless revolution will deal with the browbeating from the 'spiritual' ones.. already receiving lots of grief from hubby and rest of the family/close friends when seen at the meetings with paper publications.

  damn it!!!

  am i alone in this resistance???!!!.

  We were told that the electronics are such a blessing because the WT can save so much money by not printing literature, and will have more money to build kingdumb halls. Because you know, they are building like crazy here in the states lol.

  2. bible

  matthew 6:15 are jesus' own words on how to deal with a sinner.

  15 “if your brother or sister[b] sins,[c] go and point out their fault, just between the two of you.

  if they listen to you, you have won them over.

  One sister started a rumor that another sister didn't wear any underwear.
  

  Haha, Always amazes me what these people let bother them. They really need to grow thicker skin, but i guess then they wouldn't have anything to gossip about.

  The same Watchtower urges Witnesses to turn a brother or sister in to the elders if that one is committing serious sin.
  

  I can't remember even one time where a witness had an issue with someone, where they went to the person before the elders. Even in personal experience i have had the elders tell me someone was offended by something or saw me do something, and i ask them to have the person come to me first about the matter, but the elders never do that.
