  New Light: Don't hold hands during prayers

  by RR in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  from the watchtower november 15 study edition.. 19 when we are being represented in public prayer, we need to display reverential "fear of god.

  " (1 pet 2:17) there may be a proper time and place for some actions that would be inappropriate at a christian meeting.

  (eccl 3:1) for instance, suppose someone sought to have all in a group link arms or hold hands during prayer.

  So when we're home praying over our meals, are we not to join hands? In all the churches I have been too, holding hands, arms wrapp around each other is the norm.

  From the Watchtower November 15 Study Edition.

  19 When we are being represented in public prayer, we need to display reverential "fear of God." (1 Pet 2:17) There may be a proper time and place for some actions that would be inappropriate at a Christian meeting. (Eccl 3:1) For instance, suppose someone sought to have all in a group link arms or hold hands during prayer. This might offend or distract some, including visitors who do not share our beliefs. Some marriage mates might discreetly hold hands, but if they embraced each other during public prayer, those who got a glimpse of such conduct might be stumbled. They might think or get the impression that the couple was focusing on their romantic relationship instead of reverence for Jehovah. Out of deep respect for him, let us therefore "do all things for God's glory" and avoid conduct that could distract, shock or stumble anyone. - 1 Cor 10:31,32; 2 Cor 6:3.

  Did You See Politics In "Jehovah's" Organization?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it is amazing to note that some witnesses actually believe the organization is totally "theocratic, run by the top down".

  i believe many witnesses could never accept former jw's writing about their experiences because they just couldn't imagine all the backroom deals and questionable practices that indicate holy spirit has nothing to do with the process.. did you experience "politics" within the theocracy?.

  Whenever you get a group of people organized for anything, politics rears its ugly head. Yes, minimus, even among the Bible Students there is politics.
