  Question 6, 7: "In the matter of rendering humans honor, how do Jehovah's Witnesses differ from many people?"

  Par. 6 "Hence, young and old alike look to them as role models, perhaps imitating their mannerisms, dress, or conduct. [Par. 7] True Christians refrain from such a distorted view of honoring humans."

  This s--t printed just after five pages of showing "special attention" to a human!

  I only got this far before I could not stomach anymore of the hypocrisy. But maybe, just maybe I will go to the meeting, raise my hand for the question, and IF I should get called on make the following comment, "Unlike humans who are influenced by Satan's world who place their religious leaders on a pedestal, looking to them as role models and imitating their dress or conduct; Jehovah's Witnesses NEVER will place their religious leaders on any sort of public pedestal such as TV, or hold then up as examples of dress, grooming, or conduct because they do not want God to be sad that they have given more honor and respect to them than is due!"

  Would This Be Adultery?

  i just happened to read a news article from some months ago about doctors having performed a successful penis transplant.

  the recipient lost his due to cancer, and doctors expect him to gain full use of his "new" penis, including sexual activities.

  considering some of the more goofy interpretations of doctrine that the gooberning body trots out that the rank and file must obey under penalty of shunning i wonder if a man had this surgery, would he and or his wife be df'd for adultery?

  Great answers so far. Perhaps they both would be DF'd for engaging in a threesome?

  sparky1 had the best answer IMO. I asked more in humor than in genuinely wanting to know. Thanks for the replies to all.

Another mans penis would have penetrated her, and it would have been done with his full approval. That just HAS to be wrong according to the GB.

  my wife's mother has alzheimer.

  it is progressing to the point that she is writing things like she wishes she was dead and does not want to live.

  if you know my mil you would know this is not her at all.

  dont go throwing your money at them

  That's why with no exceptions whenever I am told about brother so-and-so, or sister so-and-so having no finances to get to the upcoming assembly/convention and then asked if I would like to contribute something to them I always say an emphatic, "NO!"

  Anyone who thinks some historical grievance for things that didn't even happen to them makes murder OK is a racist asshole.

  WELL SAID.

  Nothing can grow and flourish in a sterile environment. I was struck by how cold and sterile everything looked in the home, the KH, everything.

  No wonder the son got out. Staying in that sterile environment would have killed him sooner or later.

  Cast lots….? What is that, did they believe god controlled how the lots (like dice) fell?

  I've often wondered about that myself. The "explanations" trotted out by WT never really made sense to me. IF they PRAYED for HS why was their decision negated by Saul's conversion? No holy spirit? Were they not really guided by holy spirit after all? If THEY were wrong as the proclaimed first century governing body why should the present day governing body be any better?

  “teachings of the apostles” not the teachings of the Christ?

  Exactly!

  The word rendered “remember” can also be translated “mention.”

  I must be looking in all the wrong places. I haven't found that definition yet.

  What do You Think About Hybrid and Electric Cars?

  by Village Idiot in

  1. social
  2. current

  battery technology has been making leaps and bounds in affordability and energy output throughout the past decade.

  while pure electric cars currently have limited range, the near future holds prospects for longer ranges.

  hybrids, and recently plug in hybrids, have a mileage of up to 50 mpg* giving them a range of 500 miles from a ten gallon gas tank.

  Have I missed the promotional materials touting the benefits of electric vehicles that can pull 32' fully loaded private gooseneck trailers at reasonable highways speeds over a 2,000 mile trip? Or the OTR long haul semis?
