  Here we go again with another Old Testament example; JWism has deteriorated from pseudo-Christian into virtual neo-Judaism.

  maybe it's complete in light of this sundays wt study...“what you vow, pay”.

  it is all about paying your vows and especially focuses on three types.. 1 your dedication vow (baptism).

  2 your marriage vow.

  CLAM Video - re Erich Frost (Apr 17-23 2017)

  by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

  i normally don't bother going to the midweek jw meetings much.

  however, upon reading in the april 2017 meeting workbook that there was to be a video about erich frost (former do for saxony & nazi prisoner in sachsenhausen concentration camp) i wanted to attend as i had read about this brother in history texts by detlef garbe and hans hesse.

  i had also visited auschwitz several times and noted that the museum had a display / exhibition about jehovah's witnesses.

  It would seem a deliberate omission not to credit Steyer as the artist who created the watercolors. Maybe he fell out of favor and is now officially a non-person in JW land.

  due to last years success, i will post everything related to the 2017 regional convention in this thread.. to start us off.... thanks to exjw reddit user ich3b we have advance notice of the theme (this is not a joke!).

  the theme for the 2017 regional convention is: "don’t give up!” .

  as always, if you have access to confidential materials you would like to leak but need to protect your identity, pm me or email me: wifibandit1 (at) gmail.

  Does the Average R&F JW understand what grace is in Christianity ?

  by smiddy in

  2. beliefs

  i`m showing my ignorance here , not being an active member of any church before joining jw`s as a 19 yr old ,whenever i was ever confronted with the question of "grace" i was always at a loss to give an effective answer from a jw point of view.. was it just me ?

  or did anybody else have a similar experience ?.

  (ps , i dont think i ever heard the expression " grace" in a religious sense in all my 33 years in the borg.studying the wt.).

  "Dress and grooming: Please plan to dress as you would when attending a congregation meeting. At all times, brothers should wear clothing that is clean, neat, tasteful, and modest."

  Ah, the cream of the local crop of adult males getting lectured like a group of schoolboys about to embark on a class trip.

  Extremist? Certainly. How helpful to his case would it be for a prosecutor to play video excerpts in court from last year's convention showing the Russian dad forbidding his violinist prodigy son from accepting a conservatory scholarship, or a mom refusing to answer her lonely daughter's phone call?

  Nor can someone simply and respectfully walk away from the religion with facing the severest of consequences the law will allow their leaders to inflict.. ostracism from family and friends, combined with pressure on these to observe the decree under fear banishment themselves.

  That's why I must admit to ambivalence about the Russian ban even though I am otherwise an advocate for freedom of religion and speech.

  So yes, I think "extremist" isn't too harsh a judgement as it relates to JWs, their anti-social attitude and worldview.
