  SDA church general conference has voted NO on womens ordination and now there is a big fight

  by barry in

  last wednesday the question was put 'can unions ordain women as ministers in the sda church?

  the vote was defeated yes 41.35 to no 58.45.. the dutch churches responded quickly saying they won't be changing there policy and will continue to ordain women.. the north american division and the two conferences in california have women pastors that are already ordained.. the sda pastors in china are mostly women.. the internet is running hot with opinions one way or the other.

  here is how millennials feel about there church at this point most are studying at an sda university.

  I found the following statement from the article interesting:

  "I take heart knowing that the leaders we have now will not be there forever and millennials will take their places."

  Too bad Jehovah's witnesses aren't allowed to make similar comment, but if they did it would go like this.

  I take heart knowing that the current governing body will not be there forever and that a new body will lead the organization with open minds. Changes will be made in doctrine.

  Too bad, looking forward to the disbandment of the current Governing body and wishing the best for the future body is not allowed.

  It's great that the seventh day adventist, can even vote on and discuss these topics!

  i live in upstate ny & get to witness the mormon cult close up.

  they have an annual pageant to commemorate jesus' interaction with american indians.

  they have a golden statue of the angel moroni on top of the hill.

  I wonder how a jw pageant would look like... Hmmm. I mean the only semi "cool" thing they have is Caleb, and that trick is getting old. Ahhh a golden statue of Caleb may work.

  I was bought brand new clothing for Assemblies/Parts/meetings/field service, fed, groomed and made to feel special. I don't want to give too much away (a lot more personal positive things to say) but I am thankful for the positive times. Although, I feel like there were ulterior motives at times but nonetheless the outcome was physically manifested as a positive situation.

  "Knock, Knock" --- My Poem

  it is saturday morning and you hear a ring at the door bell, two men greet you looking quite swell.

  they say good morning and open up their publications and start reading without any hesitation.

  they tell you the world is getting worse, with death and human suffering you think the world must be cursed!

  this photo can be found in the april 15 , study edition article titled:.

  why disfellowshipping is a loving provision.

  just by looking at this image we can see how quickly the barrier between the congregation and former member is put up, after the announcement that this sister is no longer one of jehovah's witneses.

  what would happen if i would write a physical letter to, for example, the branch office.

  and ask questions about scandals like the ngo thing and other stuff?

  or ask questions about wtbs economy, or ask for a annual report, which is something i would really like to read.

  If your address is provided they'd mail you the latest tracts called "Don't Ask Us Questions" and "The Guide to Waiting on Jehovah".

  And I just noticed that the little girl is dressed exactly like the grandmother, or older mom or lady who is sitting beside her! Same dress pattern and even the top overcoat or blazer thing. And the little girl has her hair all up fancy like a much older person. All typical JW stupidness.

  Oh wowwow, matching skirts!! Creepy!!

  And those chairs are certainly popular, aren't they!? I wonder if the WTS owns stock in companies which produce chairs like that....

  These chairs are exactly the same as the hall I attended, even the door is similar!
