  I just imagine that squash-and-stretch animation quoting from the very authentic 2 Thessalonians about female subjection.

  And then I imagine Bart Ehrman ripping him to shreds.

  here we are on the cusp of the new year, and the 2017 yearbook of jws has still not been released.

  jw.org continues to feature the 2016 yearbook in its list of main publications.

  in previous years, the upcoming yearbook's annual report on jws was released in november for the january 1st then the feb 1st watchtower, then earlier in december when it was only featured in the yearbook, then more recently with a couple of days of december 25th.

  Is the Dubbers cult going to more digital than printed?

  i know they have slave labor free but it costs a lot to print, ship ect and then you have waste.

  digital would cut costs.

  i was thinking about this because my wife visited her mother an father who are still cult members.

  "Casting Lots", How Was It Considered Acceptable?

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the jws strongly condemn any form of gambling or decision making that invokes luck or divination.

  however, no where in the bible is the "casting of lots" which basically amounted to gambling specifically condemned.

  also, many jws don't realize that jewish priests (levites) were instructed to make decisions using the urim and thummin which many scholars argue was a divination practice similar to casting lots..

  One could argue that a referendum, that putting a decision to a vote is a form of divination. If it's rolling dice or throwing darts or reading stalks and checking the results against some sort of list of possible outcomes, then voting is divination too.

  Of course, a JW might freak the F out over that ("So democracy really IS from demons!").

  - "Ya know, it says to pray in your interior rooms, not out in the open for everyone to see you doing it."

  - "What? Are you ASHAMED of your beliefs?!"

  - "You must be fun at gatherings."

  I like what my dad did, relative to the ostentatious alternative. He just got his plate and said, "It's good that Jehovah provided this." And that was his public prayer.

  Any other religions match the JW's on these items....?

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  since many things have changed, new religions, and religions changing doctrine, etc, for everytime a jw says nobody except jws, 1. refuse to go to war.

  2. refuse to be in politics 3. preach about god's kingdom.

  4. don't allow sin (dfing for fornication, etc).

  It's actually in the rules for the JW's that they keep hidden. You can not be disfelloshipped for joining the military. Found this out less than a week ago.

  They wouldn't want to go to jail again.

  When you vote or join the military, you are disassociating yourself. So, you get the same treatment as being disfellowshipped, but they didn't disfellowship you for doing that, for serving your country or acting within your civil rights.

  It's a distinction that rides the technical line between chicken shit and bull shit.
