  JW's and cigars (research thread)

  by wallsofjericho in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i feel like i have never had a satisfactory answer on this.. my experience has been that there has never been a solid stance by the wts on cigars.. i do not have the cd-rom installed right now but for a long time i could not find a definitve statement against cigar smoking.

  i did find an article from a few years back that commented it gave you stained teeth and bad breath, but i can hardly see how these are df'ing offenses.

  this would rule coffee for sure and a whole host of foods that do this also.. does anyone have the cd-rom installed and are able to dig up some info?

  Still Waiting For the Governing Body To Explain Their “New Light”

  by Cameron_Don in

  regarding the governing bodys new light relative to matthew 24:45-47, anointedjw.org recently said the following:.

  this new light certainly poses a problem for the governing body.

  perhaps this is another reason why they have not yet published a sober and scriptural xplanation of this new light.

  They're probably waiting for feedback from the illustartion on page 29 of the April 15, 2013 Watchtower.

  Also, I'm sure they're waiting for feedback from this board. This thread is actually helping them tweak the articles that will probably appear in the May 15 Kool Aid edition.

  What is the most out of line / disturbing experience you have seen from Circuit Overseers?

  by Poindexter Lionel Humperdique in

  1. jw

  i once heard of a circuit overseer blaming a loyal ministerial servant, that served as the accounts servant, of steeling from the contribution boxes, simply because he deposited the congregation funds bi-weekly instead of twice a week.

  due to the accusation, the ms was immediately removed without hearing his side of the story.

  isn't this rather counter-intuitive and innefficient?

  Going back about 14 years, a passerby on the street stopped and then sat (or rather leaned) on the CO's car (probably to get out of the way of pedestrians for a moment while he made a call). The CO was standing across the street about 4 houses down talking to an MS.

  When he saw this, the CO stopped his conversation with the MS abruptly and then quickly walked over to his car to reprimand the passerby for leaning on his car. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. He actually got in that poor man's face for leaning on his precious car (a '98 Chevy Lumina I believe).

  I asked the brother that I was paired up with if he knew what that was all about. He said: "Brother CO is very meticulous with his things. He gets up early every morning to wash or wipe his car and doesn't like anyone putting their hands on it or leaving hand prints on the windows." (WTF???)

  I had already heard that previously but thought it was an exagerrated rumor...

  Incredibly, the passerby didn't respond. He simply got off the CO's car and went on his merry way. He probably thought: "There's no sense getting into an argument with a wacko in an oversized polyester suit."

  The CO walked back to the MS with a little swagger in his step as if to say: "Yeah, that's right. I'm the new CO in town."

  If a non-JW receives a pamphlet from a JW, then tosses it in the trash bin after reading it, he has rejected "The Truth" and will be destroyed at Armageddon.

  how many here have heard such utter stupidity??.

  several years ago, during field circus, i was covering a seldom-worked territory which was a community of mostly busy working class people who usually sprung out of their homes every saturday morning to do grocery shopping, run errands, etc.. only a few would start their saturday morning doing yard work washing their cars, walking their dogs, etc.. but we would frequently catch most of the house-holders on the way out, getting into their cars.. so, needless to say, the use of pamphlets was prevalent in that territory.. on that saturday morning, i mentioned to the elder who had been paired up with me that most of these people are so busy that they probably just toss these pamphlets in the trash without ever reading them.. his response to this was something like: "well i hope they're not doing that.

  that would not be a good idea.".

  How many here have heard such utter stupidity??

  Several years ago, during Field Circus, I was covering a seldom-worked territory which was a community of mostly busy working class people who usually sprung out of their homes every Saturday morning to do grocery shopping, run errands, etc.. Only a few would start their Saturday morning doing yard work washing their cars, walking their dogs, etc.. But we would frequently catch most of the house-holders on the way out, getting into their cars.

  So, needless to say, the use of pamphlets was prevalent in that territory.

  On that Saturday morning, I mentioned to the elder who had been paired up with me that most of these people are so busy that they probably just toss these pamphlets in the trash without ever reading them.

  His response to this was something like: "Well I hope they're not doing that. That would not be a good idea."

  When I asked him why, his response was: "Brother Airplane, you know what the Slave has taught us about this. People who receive the Good News but reject it will not survive Armageddon."

  My response... "IF they receive the Good News. How do you define receiving the Good News?"

  To this he asked: "What do you mean?"

  I then told him that believed Jehovah was reasonable and he would NOT destroy kind-hearted people who tossed our pamphlets in the trash bin. If they have NOT had an opportunity to read it, how can they be held accountable?

  He then changed his mind and said: "Well... OK... I see what you mean... But still, if he READS the pamplet and then throws it away, there's really no excuse after that."

  I just took a deep breath and kept my mouth shut after that... I knew that teaching was severely flawed and had no Biblical backing whatsoever...

  Please do share similar experiences!

  MSCONCERNED... In response to Gopher's question, you said..

  Gopher, the understanding that only when the FDS come together then they are the GB.

  Actually, you have that backwards... But we know what you mean...

  Didn't they recently redefine "The Faithful & Discreet Slave" as the Governing Body from 1919 forward? I believe they did... But William Tyndale was never a part of the Governing Body of any religious organization. Neither was Russell. So why are they standing behind Jesus in this invitation?

  Also, did anyone ever witness William Tyndale partaking of the bread & wine on Memorial night?
