august 31, 2017 to all bodies of elders re: procedure for handling certain cases of wrongdoing.
I wonder what Biblical basis they have for this?
Did any king of Israel ever instruct the elders of the cities that if one of the servants of the king 'sinned' back at home, they shouldn't judge him in the city gates, but leave the king to handle it?
I guess this serves two reasons:
we all know the moment that a nice family chat is moving to the propaganda game.. sister in law saying that jw.org is the highest ranked website, cousing saying that the new hq is energy neutral, aunt stating that jw have the best education.... what can we say on these moments?.
that br splane just likes these new light ideas?.
that a jw.org video stated that jw use the name jehovah because people recognize this name?.
"no honey, daddy doesn't like this book.
do you have a nice book we can read?.
as far as i know my wife and i agree this book would be off-limits.
@jwundubbed,
I agree: those topics also often appear in fairy-tales and many Disney movies.
But we wouldn't read our little girl those stories yet either!
Nor do we allow her to see/hear the TV news - too much talk about death and violence going on there for 2 year olds.
Children at that age need to play and have fun; they needn't be bothered with mentioning death and violence every day!

@shepherdless,
Thanks for your clarification. I just read up on (some of) the differences between common and civil law. Never realized those!
"no honey, daddy doesn't like this book.
do you have a nice book we can read?.
as far as i know my wife and i agree this book would be off-limits.
So at my parent-in-law's home my 2 year old child presented me with a 'My Book With Bible Stories'.
"Will you read me this book daddy?"
No honey, daddy doesn't like this book. Do you have a nice book we can read?
As far as I know my wife and I agree this book would be off-limits. Apparently not.
So I'll have to bring this topic up once again, and I did a quick check on the stories to back my argument.
Well I knew it's a bad book, but I was surprised anyway.
Total number of stories wholly inappropriate for children: 91 out of 116, or 78%
Only 25 stories where nobody dies, is murdered, or raped.
FYI I have been quite generous while counting: each story is only counted once. A story that contains all of violence, rape, murder and genocide is counted in only 1 category.
The total number of occurrences of topics inappropriate for children is even higher!
Fuck me, this book is a big no-go for my baby girl!
if i'm tierd i fall asleep anywere so the meetings ect were no diffrent my wife would always try to wake me but im a deep sleeper.
karter .
Yup. That's why I always asked for any 'priviliges' to be scheduled during the afternoon session

This was a Supreme Court case? Why? Did the parties not agree with lower court rulings?
i recently posted about what would happen if my mom got sick,seeing that i'm apostate.
even today i posted on a thread about blood transfusions.. i just received a text from my brother saying that my mom is in hospital and requires a transfusion to survive....is this a coincidence?.
am i being punished by jehovah, or is the devil out to get me...i dont know anymore what to do.... things are getting too much, guess i should not have joked so much in my posts..
Am I being punished by Jehovah, or is the devil out to get me...I dont know anymore what to do...
To me it looks that if anyone is being punished by God, it's your mom, not you. Maybe she's in the wrong cult religion?
But more seriously: your mind has been trained to interpret everything that comes your way in JW terms. Want more examples?
Basically, whatever happens JW minds have been trained to interpret it according to their beliefs. Funnily, all other believers do exactly the same!
The hospital is full of sick people. Did Jehovah make all of them sick? Or are they - and your mother - sick simply because people happen to get sick? You know the answer to that!
Additionally, if Jehovah would be sending you messages by killing your devout mother, he'd a bigtime asshole not worthy of any worship!
So, to comfort you, Jehovah didn't read this forum, and he is not making your mother sick to send you a message! That idea is cult indoctrination messing with your brain and emotions. And the indoctrination is working, because you're felling guilty, and your next move might be returning to the JW cult...
Hope your mother pulls through! Big hug for you and your family!
Stay calm and sane.
jehovahs witnesses have been outspoken over the years/decades that christendom have been hiding or obscuring or even eliminating gods name jehovah from the general public.. how true is that statement .?.
1. it was a catholic monk of the 13th century that first coined the name jehovah in the english language.. 2.the roman catholic douay version of the bible does have the name jehovah in it.
about the 16th century.
Anybody else see a problem reconciling these two claims?
