  speaking to the general public:.

  frequently asked questions...is there a dress code?no.

  however, jehovah’s witnesses try to dress modestly and respectfully.. meanwhile, speaking to members out of the other side of their mouth:.

  Telling people how they should dress and groom themselves in public and in private is a abusive and controlling behaviour.

  Unfortunately we were manipulated to accept this as a normal and acceptable practice.

  Evidence of a high control group.

  Are other religions as meticulous in their weekly count as jws are ? When taking the count if people came in late we would add them to the total and include the ones on the phone link .

  The congregations I attended the only growth was born ins and when polish people came to the UK for work apart from that very few if any studies progressed to baptism.

  Young people are free to stop attending the church of their parents without loss of contact unlike jws,.

  Jws are a high control group that what probably keeps the numbers positive unlike other religions.

  Yet they fail to recognize the human rights of those who want to leave or change their religion or to have no religion and to openly practice their beliefs in public without fear of being disfellowshiped and shunned by their families and friends.

  Shocking when jesus only had the clothes on his back and encouraged a simple life and when a rich man asked him how to get everlasting life jesus told him to sell his belongings and give to the poor.

  Baptism on Fire

  by peacefulpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  going through justin martyr's dialogue with trypho yesterday, i found a variation on the baptism scene :.

  88. and let this be a proof to you, namely, what i told you was done by the magi from arabia, who as soon as the child was born came to worship him, for even at his birth he was in possession of his power; and as he grew up like all other men, by using the fitting means, he assigned its own [requirements] to each development, and was sustained by all kinds of nourishment, and waited for thirty years, more or less, until john appeared before him as the herald of his approach, and preceded him in the way of baptism, as i have already shown.

  and then, when jesus had gone to the river jordan, where john was baptizing, and when he had stepped into the water, a fire was kindled in the jordan; and when he came out of the water, the holy ghost lighted on him like a dove, [as] the apostles of this very christ of ours wrote.

  Thanks again peacefulpete

  Does this have any connection to the classical elements of earth air fire and water.

  Greek philosophy and Astrology also used these four elements, and like many other things have these been adopted and grafted into religious beliefs.

  My story of becoming a circuit overseer after Kin Suen visited our congregation.

  by ExCircuitOverseer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here is my story of becoming a missionary after having kin suen (pronounced “shin”) as my circuit overseer.

  my father wanted me to go to college, but since he wasn’t a witness, i knew he just didn’t understand how close we were to the end.

  i had actually become a circuit overseer!
