So have they split up or not I’m confused?

he has moved out that’s for sure, why would anyone think she would ever go on holiday with her ex?

I don’t know what the custody arrangements are perhaps he has access to the kids at certain times?

This is why the huge policy changes in elders book -

if someone is suspected of being suicidal then no judicial committee until the elders can be sure that are no longer suicidal.

Basically meaning hardly anyone will have JCs from now on which means no more shunning 😀

i’m agnostic so maybe the universe started by chance or by design.. if it was by design (hypothetically) and the bible is the designers word, and jws seem to be the closest to it, then what would be the largest things you would change?.

here are a few ideas.

-do away with the governing body thinking they are gods only channel.

We are talking hypothetically

if the universe had intelligent design involved and the Bible is the word of the designer then Jesus was his son, again hypothetically.

who fits Jesus description of those who have love amongst themselves and who is closest to the Bible if it hypothetically is the word of the designer?

I thought it was JWs even though they are certainly wrong about many things.

Cofty thinks it’s not JWs it is another group and I have asked him several times which other group has love among themselves all around the world?

St George I’m an Elder and I got it in my inbox on JWhub.

we are all supposed to check it every day but I don’t get around to it that often. There are lots of other letters and announcements other than the first one to all congregations.

this new one taking Tony out of the book was to be read out at this midweek meeting

sinning against the Holy Spirit question

by enoughisenough in

let's assume that the bible is god's word and the men who wrote it were borne along ( inspired ) by holy spirit.

if one sets out to deliberately malign the bible, would that be considered a sin against the holy spirit?.

ExBethelitenowPIMA

Yes

Sounds like your avoiding the question cofty.

which organisation do you think is closer to the truth than JWs?

for example Mormons? Catholics? Muslins? Jews? Protestant?

Cofty which organisation do you think is closer to the truth about the Bible than JWs?

bearing in mind jesus said those that have love among themselves this is what I based on the claim that JWs are the closest

Tonus which other organisations have love amongst themselves as Jesus said would be his true disciples?

It seems to many that JWs seem to be the closest to this, but if you have another organisation that I’ve missed please tell me.

Im open to the possibility that JWs are the closest to the Bible (if indeed intelligent design was behind the universe and the Bible is the designers word)

but as we have seen over the last 140+ years JWs have had some enormous changes and I think they need to keep changing.

I have no doubt they are wrong about many many things. There is a lot of room for improvement

It could be boiled down to-

Everything apart from gross sin is a conscience matter (personal choice) absolutely everything.

If something is a sin or goes against the Bible then have a judicial committee and if no repentance then announce the person is no longer a JW. But treat the person as you would any other unbeliever. Don’t shun them.

More important than that is to get rid of the governing body and just have all the different committees that currently exist. Then there wouldn’t be all the problems with ToMo3 and the three other disgraced GB members.
