  by confused in

  please can anyone help me to find any information from society's literature on the subject of marking.

  i wasn't aware it was still practiced.

  i would like to know how it is explained as being in any way scriptural.

  When you hear how JW land talk about She bears and Godly murder. It's not hard to see that "marking" which is basically saying we can stain anyone, Do you honestly believe that the Brooklyn seven wouldn't burn witches in the name of God.

  about 5 years ago when i was in, my son who at the time was 18 needed somewhere to sleep for a couple of nights due to work commitments ,in a city 2 hours from home.

  my "best man" who is an elder that lives in this city , was asked could my son stay a couple of nights .

  the response was he doesn't go to meetings anymore ,he can't stay here , i ask can he sleep on garage floor instead , still can't stay .

  If anyone is in any doubt about head offices stance on hospitality. I challenge anyone to approach a bethel after hours tell them you are an inactive JW who is stranded and could you please provide shelter for the night.

  i'm surprised that the crazy wt attorneys haven't tried to reason to the worldwide royal commissions that bible has no specific scripture relating to pedophilia.

  the children's voice in scripture always came second..

Not in my wildest imagination could I see Christ turning away people in need.

  Should I talk to elders?

  by Chook in

  the whole world is rigged, whether its religious tribunals or local police enforcement, those who are paid by god or government are the enforcers .

  should you talk to elders... well imagine that brooklyn had ordered these men to df anyone who says anything against the slave.

  do you stand a chance , religious zealots are the most ruthless throughout history, look into it , it's scary to think we believed a magazine that we thought came from god .

  Steve2 turning 50 next year. Paranoid it may seem but history proves those with early knowledge won battle. To be truthful you have to take the US government line " I don't negotiate with terrorists " . Even Christ couldn't out talk corrupt religious leaders . He led example " no comment "

  Does anyone else squirm uncomfortably in disbelief?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as we know, every month on the "official broadcasting" presentation, a new "music video" is presented.. can these possibly be any more cringe-worthy??.

  the words, music, singing are so, so bad....i mean, so bad!.

  surely witnesses are not so stupid that they don't harbor secret feelings of awkwardness when they see these?.

  JW marriages: “They” looked good on paper.

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i applaud anyone, male or female, who overcomes shallowness and looks at a person’s deeper qualities, especially in regard dating and marriage.

  the movie and fashion industry does much to institute shallowness to the point that, in my opinion, it promotes outright discrimination and judgmentalism even as they give lip service to tolerance..

  on the other hand, among jehovah’s witnesses, there seem to be a preponderance of incompatible marriages.

  Don't worry about what they look like on paper, look at prospective partners parents ,I can promise that all people don't fall far from one or both parents, regardless of religious upbringing or not. Show me your mother or show me your father and I'll tell you who you are. I hate some personality traits of my mother but I know I have theses myself. That's why family problems are generational. Apple don't fall far from tree . If you don't like parents run like hell.

  to lie or to deceive (w 12/2016, par 18, 19)

  by George One Time in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  why not use a biblical example, like jacob when deceiving his father isaac?

  jehovah himself seems to have no problem with deceiving.

  or 1 kings 22:19-22 "who will deceive ahab?

  As Geoffrey Jackson says to lie is presumptuous when we have deceive available.
