  The GB are really going out on a limb with this DF decision

  by Quarterback in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is how a do explained the family business policy re relatives of df/da members.. he said that the expression, "necessary family business," is really not a scriptural term.

  it is nowhere found in the bible.

  but, out of the kindness of the gb's hearts, they have gone beyond what is written and allowed association among families for necessary business.

  Quarterback The GB are not sure if this viewpoint was the right thing to do, but, they hope that Jehovah will be merciful with them and understand.

  God will give them mercy in accordance to the mercy and understanding they show others.

  one of my co workers mother made my 4 year old a blanket with the disney character tinkerbell on it.

  as soon as i got it i knew trouble lay ahead.

  i wanted to reason with her before my daughter saw it so as not to cause a disruption, but it didn't work out that way.

  Didn't you know that there are fairies in the Bible?

  (Zechariah 5:9)
  Then I raised my eyes and saw, and here there were two women coming forth, and wind was in their wings. And they had wings like the wings of the stork.

  2. bible

  from paragraph 12. one brother began viewing pornography at the age of 12, and he continued to do so in secret for over a decade.

  he relates: it was very hard to admit to my wife and to the el- ders what id been doing.

  but now that i have admitted it, i feel that a huge weight has been taken off my shoulders.

  Supposing the porn you're watching is a home movie of you and the wife?

  Is there any substance to the comment that this is in response to new laws on the way loans and loaning institutions are viewed?

  According to the 2014 yearbook, there are 114,000 congregations worldwide.

  That 13,000 means 11.5% of them require some kind of project.

  That doesn't sound out of the range of possibility to me.

  Don't play games. Ask him directly "Are you seeking to find a reason to disfellowship me?"
  "What is your real goal in meeting with me?"
  "Why have you been speaking to my wife about me? - What was you trying to find out from her that you was afraid of asking me directly?"

  I always find it's best to cut to the chase on these things, and if you don't do it then he will never come out with anything so open.

  If he seems to dodge a question ask "why are you dodging my question?"
  If he seems to be less then open and honest, ask "Why do I sense you are not being open and honest in your answer?"

  I think you get the picture.

  Is there a difference between lying and phrasing something in such a clever way that it achieves the goal of deception?
