if a jw gets drunk on an occasion, he could get a pass if it was in private, if however in public there's a much greater chance of disfellowshipping as the sin has now "maligned the reputation of the congregation".
i got this through michael sherlock's fb page, he likes to expose religious nuts,.
JWs sue because they have suffered loss and need to hold someone as culpable.
The fingers should naturally point to themselves or the organisation but their minds don't permit this logic.
It's heinous to constrain a surgeon against their best experience, training and advice, then try to punish them for the consequences, yet JWs have no other option unless they face the reality that the organisations policies are the reason their loved one died.
a nearby star, ross 128, about 11 light years away, seems to be putting out some rather remarkable radio waves.
discovered by the arecibo observatory in puerto rico (the one shown in the move contact) other observatories like the allen telescope array are set to begin observations in the next couple of days to make sure the signal really is coming from interstellar space and isn't caused by instrument malfunction or radio waves bouncing off satellites.
it could be anything at this point (but very-very unlikely aliens).
JW_Rogue I for one am determined not believe any evidence
Good for you. The best thing you can do with evidence which disagrees with our unprovable beliefs is reject it without a second thought.
Who needs facts anyway? The stupid things just get in the way of religious belief. I tell you, if the Bible said there was no such thing as our sun then I'd believe it.
That crafty satan will do anything to make us question things. Can you imagine, questioning our beliefs. How ridiculous. My father gave me these beliefs so I know they're right. He knew they were right too because a stranger told him so.
Scientists? Just let them wait until Armageddon proves every last word of theirs wrong. We would be so much better off if we could get rid of all the sciences.

the supreme court of russia has rejected the jehovah's witnesses' appeal.. https://jw-russia.org/news/17071719-195.html.
july 17, 2017 the supreme court of russia has missed the last chance to restore law and justice for the 175,000 russian citizens professing the religion of jehovah's witnesses.
it took less than an hour of the meeting a panel of three supreme court judges, to leave unchanged the decision taken earlier by the judge yuri ivanenko, the liquidation and ban any and all registered organizations of the religion.since there is no more effective domestic remedies, the believers will appeal to the european court of human rights and other international organizations.. *note: as reported by the jworg source, jw-russia.org.
Fisherman Coincidence: 7 earthquakes 7.4 in Russia today.
You have nicely adopted the crafty WT way of suggesting things without having the courage to own what you say.
This is just like Fred Franz and his 1975 convention speech "We know what to expect.... but we're not saying" rubbish, or the KM "Could this be the last memorial? We don't know" nonsense.
If you had any faith that what you imply is true then you would say "Jehovah has now caused earthquakes in Russia as retribution", but you know that's just absurd and ridiculous. Instead you try a Satanic "Is it really so..."
Your post is pointless and gutless. Your stupid insinuations don't work on people who can think for themselves.
the october 2017 wt study article (simplified).
let us consider some examples of fake love.
when satan talked to eve in the garden of eden, what he said made it seem that he wanted the best for her.
It doesn't matter what the WT write, their corruption has been laid bare.
More and more want nothing to do with their ridiculous lies.
Publishers are seeing their fabricated nonsense for what it is.
Even elders are now at a loss to explain some of these "clutching at straws" doctrines.
The WT is done. Watch this space.
i just viewed this.
https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5703039295946752/clapping-singing-conventions-like-evangelicals.
ok the point has been made.
The WT and the GB are dumb. I mean sub-normal intelligence dumb.
Anything that happens is as a consequence of GB dogma, but it's not planned or anticipated.
There's no intention to go full evangelical but the GB stumble to problem to problem.
i honestly believe he has memory difficulties, him and mr letts iq is not much greater than a rabbit.
no the rabbit wins..
When I gave a talk, whether at a kingdom hall or an assembly, it was notes based but passion delivered.
I could throw away my preparations and deliver from the heart - passionate, convincing and inspirational.
It seems Fat Tony and his GB crew are now tied to autocue.
after learning the alphabet no other education required.
history would be distorted, science rejected.
i'm surprised that gb didn't realise there is big money in education, big tony could be the professor of bullshit..
The Aleph Bet (hebrew) or Alpha Beta (Greek) are the building blocks of biblical comprehension.
Respect to everyone who has the determination to dig a little deeper and understand a little more.
the edinburgh city observatory sits atop calton hill at the east end of the city centre adjacent to burn's monument, scotland's national monument modelled on the parthenon, and nelson's monument with the time ball that falls at 1pm every day except sundays.. .
the second astronomer royal of edinburgh was charles piazzi smyth (jan. 1819 - feb. 1900).
smyth was a man of many and varied interests including meteorology, producing weather observations that still form an important part of uk climate records to this day.. building on the work of james taylor, smyth became fascinated by the great pyramid of egypt at giza.
Fabulous Cofty. Absolutely fabulous.
I must make my way up north very soon.
I might combine it with a whiskey tasting tour 😁
Now get to bed 😃

i cant believe what i'm hearing... actually, nothing surprises be about this cult anymore.. didn't they say to the judge in the arc that they dont discourage college?.
Gerrit Losch Claims JW's Attending College Are Spiritually Weak
Unless you have been sent to college by the WT Bethel, in which case you are extra spiritual.
loyalty—part of the new personality (s-341a-18-e 5/17).
note to the circuit overseer:.
use this outline for the tuesday service talk from september 2017 through february 2018. you will need to prepare your own 30-minute service talk for use after the watchtower study.
So for the faithful who have remained loyal their entire lives, they are now being browbeaten with more demands for loyalty. No commendation or lightening of the load, just warnings, threats, intimidation. STAY LOYAL.
Even the local needs part says "Show how the congregation can make the improvement over the next several months".
What you have been doing is not enough. Make improvements. Do more. You're still not good enough. Work harder.
Is it any wonder that so many are at breaking point.
