Would Elders You Knew Have Ordered Stonings If They Could Have?

by Cold Steel in

for those of you who used to be jws, or who are active, if the society was in charge of the earth, how many people do you think you would have seen stoned during your lifetimes?

i realize some elders can be zealous about their work, but if they'd actually had administrative authority to have kh members stoned to death, how many elders did you know who would have been zealous enough to really order them?.

did you know any elders who would have ordered stonings, even if the condemned people had been willing to repent?.

just Ron

Just a side note. The Jesus let the first one without sin cast the first stone is not part of the NWT. So stonings can be ok in the new system when some one sins.

Weird "new world" artwork from the 2013 calendar

by cedars in

my mother-in-law has a strange obsession with calendars, and orders the society's calendar each year.

this year's calendar is especially weird.

it features images depicting future events - in particular, the society's vision of the new world order.. i've taken the opportunity to scan some of the images for you all to check out.. please note - there are captions for each of the images, but i don't have the english language version of the calendar so i'd rather just quote the scripture used so as not to reveal which country i'm in.. .

A picture so outrageous, it deserves its own thread...

by cedars in

i mean no disrespect to sd-7 or his fine thread on which this picture has already featured, but i think it is just so ridiculous that it deserves a thread all of its own.. lurkers and apologists, this is how your precious organization views itself.... behold the madness.... .

Differing views of education in the JW cult

by hybridous in

jw
friends

while reading the thread about the jw elder clearing his conscience, i had the thought.... .

while taking everyone's experiences in the jw org at face value, we all certainly had different influences present around us concerning education.. .

it is clear to me that within the jw org, there is a spectrum running from hard-liners to very liberal, in this particular matter.

Back in 2005 (or maybe 04 - I'm not sure), a boy in our congregation graduated high school at the top of his class. He wanted to go to college, and his parents (both were dubs) fully supported that decision. The parents got so much grief from the elders (and probably the CO) that they haven't attended meetings since then - not even the Memorial. The young man did go to college, got an engineering degree, and now has a very good job.

Good Reasons To Hate Every Weak And Ex-Jehovah Witness.

by AuntConnie in

1. my husband's time is finite, it's wasted on spouses arguing over money, sex or family mattters with stupid home visits.. .

i hate people's constant open hand for money, it's the weak individuals asking others to pull their weight.

my family worked extra hours instead of begging the strong members for district assembly money, cat food for seven cats or tiny little rag-a-muffins weiner dogs.. .

just Ron

That's ok Connie shun away I'm doing the same to Brother elder beat my child and Brother elder don't feed your kids before meatings so they wont throw up.

Welcome to the board
