..Proplog2..and..The WBT$ Rule,that Protects Pedophiles..
by OUTLAW in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
proplog2..just got back on the board and saw your pm to me..lol!

!..of course it`s not right to publicly post your pm to me..but..i find nothing wrong in publicly answering you..............you have made a big deal about the "wbt$ 2witness rule",dealing with child molesters..the rule that protects pedophiles!..you advocate this rule.you like this rule.you are willing to argue about how right this rule is,with anyone!................you have also publicly stated.that you have purposely kept the doors open in your own home,to keep your own children from molesting each other..what would you do if you caught them molesting each other?..you advocate the "wbt$ 2witness rule"..without 2witness`s,you advocate doing nothing..without 2witness`s,your willing to protect a pedophile........given the circumstances of how you say you conduct affairs in your own home..and..your absolute willingness to protect pedophiles with the "wbt$ 2witness rule"....your staunch advocation of the "wbt$ 2witness rule" comes under scrutiny.....so i ask:"do you feel you need the protection,the "wbt$ 2witness rule" would give you?

"..the rule that protects pedophiles!......it`s a simple question to answer.....the question is neither out of order,or harassment..you are the one that made all of this,"public knowledge"..and..went so far,as to "pm" me about it.....................................outlaw

Acts 15:19,20,28,29 what does it really mean?
by beginnersmind in
1. watchtower
2. medical
i'm not completely sold on these verses at acts 15:19,20,28,29 meaning it was just to keep harmony with jews and gentiles.

i can see that meaning in those verses but also another one.

to me that can mean that they arent going to add circumcision to the list of burdens or necessary things and those things listed in v29 are burdens not simply some things to keep harmony.

When you see the disgusting thing that causes desolation...
by Mickey mouse in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
...standing in a holy place.. i am sure this must have been discussed before but i can't find it in a search.

so if the disgusting thing is the un i think i can think of a time when it has stood in a place jw's consider "holy".

i never bought that the "holy place" was christendom when it has supposedly been denounced by god already.

"This change shows how close the end we REALLY are..............."
by Warlock in
1. jw
2. experiences
according to one of my relatives, the co said, on a recent visit, that the offer of "everlasting life" will be brief and to the point.. when street witnessing, if people refuse, do not chase them.

in the door to door work, if someone is not interested, do not persist, just leave.. according to my relative, these changes really show "how close to the end we really are".. why is it that every change is interpreted as "this change shows how close to the end we really are"?.

i have come to realize that the wts are masters at jerking people around, and i really hate it!.
