  For active JW's - Are you obeying the law of the Christ.................

  ........or the law of the watchtower?.

  ........or the law of the Watchtower?

  The May 2019 Watchtower actually tells you which one to obey:

  Page 3, par. 7 - Lessons: Jesus’ teachings cover all aspects of life. So the law of the Christ governs what we do....We learn this law by reading the Christian Greek Scriptures [not WT litter-ature] and meditating on them. We obey this law by bringing our lives into harmony with the instructions, commands, and principles found in that inspired record. [not in WT litter-ature] When we obey the law of the Christ, we are obeying.....all that Jesus taught.

  At Matthew 18:15-17, Jesus didn't say anything about elders being involved when someone commits a serious sin. In fact, Jesus explicitly stated that if a sin has been witnessed by someone, the matter should be resolved between the sinner and the witness alone. No one else was to be involved - especially not elders.

  Jesus never said anything about Christians having to confess to an elder - let alone three of them! Verse 16 is referring to other witnesses of the sin - not witnesses of the accusation.
  

  So from now on, will you sincerely obey the law of the Christ or the law of Warwick - and continue to gladly share the details of anyone's "sin" with the congregation's S.S?

  WT hiding behind the use of language again:

  11 A Christian who gives in to wrong desire and commits a serious sin is spiritually sick.

  A serious sin? It's a crime you idiots! It's child-rape.

  13 Do elders comply with secular laws about reporting an allegation of child abuse to the secular authorities? Yes. In places where such laws exist, elders endeavour to comply with secular laws about reporting allegations of abuse.

  Only in places where mandatory reporting exists? Elders will merely endeavour?

  Shunning Hath Begunith

  by Solzhenitsyn in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my spouse assumed that being honest would feel liberating.

  appointments were made with pimi parents to let them know of the decision to no longer be a jw.

  before the tall nonfat latte at starbucks was half drunk and after her parents asked several direct questions, they stood up, hugged her and said "well this is goodbye, return to jehovah and we'll pick up right where we left off, we love you," and walked out the door.

  Everyone's reaction to shunning will be different, but in your wife's case, her best healing will come via yourself and others who have genuine, non-conditional love for her. I wish you, and especially your wife well.

  I received a bitter telephone call many months ago from one of my two sisters, warning me never to contact her ever again for any reason whatsoever.

  My "crime?" I'd been sharing media items about the org with both my sisters. They then got together and decided that I was speaking "negatively" about the org, and as such, I deserved to be stoned to death.

  Their loss - not mine. Why would I want to be associated with people who "hate by decree?"

  The same sister pointed out this scripture to me after I got baptised years ago:

  Galatians 4:16 - "So, then, have I become your enemy because I tell you the truth?"

  I smile now when I read it.

  by Listener in

  2. beliefs

  the final part of the october, 2018 annual meeting has now been released of jw org tv.the following includes a transcript of mark sanderson's speech for those that don't want to listen to the broadcast.. we have long held that the land of decoration is the "spiritual estate of jehovah's people"... now brothers what can we say about all these events that have taken place (referring to recent events in russia) in such a short period of time?

  well, truly, if you're a student of the history of god's organization, you can say these events are unprecedented in our history.

  we've never seen a country or a territory with 175,000 witnesses of jehovah go under ban.

  LOL! Just read the introductory letter in the book from the Eight Gnomes of Warwick:

  "Dear lovers of Jehovah,...........Consider the lessons learned from Jesus’ illustrations. A number of those illustrations refer to events that will soon take place during the fast approaching great tribulation."

  Spiritual roughage to keep all the credulous JW's bowels moving.

  At 24 mins Mr. Jackass of the GB announces the production of a new book (Ezekiel's prophecies explained) which the self-appointed "faithful slave" commissioned 10 years ago - a job which they assigned to their helpers in a Writing Committee!!!!

  I thought the "slave" was assigned to provide the food - not their sycophants.

  This video provides proof that the Governing Body is divinely inspired to warn that the end is near by showing that only God's people (aka JW's) were selected for "persecution" by Nazi Germany and the Russian authorities.

  Sheesh - what more proof do we need?????

  Just peeking in for a bit...

  by Jidders in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i rather apprehensively would like to say hello.. i've been raised somewhat in the truth,one of my parents is rather rather strong in the beliefs but could honestly be considered pomi with how active they are and their side of the family comes from a line of witnesses, the other parent was but faded a long time ago.

  as such i was taught quite a bit of jw teachings between family and off and on again bible studies.

  recently i had a serious emotional break down over a few months after said pomi parent had advised me that they would not attend my wedding should that day come (i also had recieved a text from my bible teacher i hadnt heard from in a year or two giving a scripture) and it sorta all sank on me that my activity over the last few years was not really jw material.
