  Help me with the disfellowshipping topic, how is it NOT scriptural

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  many have said that jesus never shunned anyone.

  yet it seems that the apostle paul said to shun an unrepentant sinner, "stop keeping company" and "not even eating with such a man" 1co 5:9-12. it seems like shunning is what paul wanted us to do.

  but honestly, it doesn't seem right to me.

  Reading this made me laugh out loud. Even though one knows about, understands the extent of and is not surprised by the hypocrisy of the WT, it never the less continues to make me shake my head.

  How quick are they to point their fingers at the religions of the world, religions that they say practice false teachings and in the same breath practice the exact same 'sin'.

  It is stomach churning to me to read some of the things that they preach and then ultimately deny.

  Cult in deeds & indeed.

  Hit me like a ton of bricks

  "Two child-sized mannequins were posed nearby, with copies of Bible lessons nestled in their plastic hands. In front of them was a small sign with four words:

  Saudi Arabia closes down a female gym because ...

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. current

  ... a woman has been filmed in the gym wearing gym clothes.

  at least, according to the daily mail.. the deeply conservative (that's polite speak for 'religious and demented') kingdom has apparently closed the gym down and threatened to prosecute the person who filmed the gorgeous young woman in lycra.. although i believe that female gym users can wear gym gear in any gym, what's especially ludicrous is: she was filmed in a female gym!.

  i don't know what to say, i'm genuinely lost for words .... she's got a nice arse.. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5650699/saudi-officials-close-gym-woman-filmed-wearing-lycra.html.

  New data movement this is what I see as their goals .

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after listening to the leaked videos this is what i think it’s all about.

  first i don’t believe they will want to much personal information ie bank accounts etc do to potential legal problems down the road.

  what i think is their goal is once all publishers are in the data base they then have no need for written information about any issue concerning a publisher and how issues are handled by elders and the branch etc... this information now is in their own data base and can be deleted or manipulated by them at any time.

  What records if any would they have on me? Baptized in 1975, and faded in 1979. Have not been back since, though my parents have remained in and I went once a year to the memorial to please my now deceased mother.

  Probably none - but i thought I would ask you kind folks for your opinions.

  Meeting Days Felt Different?

  by pale.emperor in

  2. experiences

  i dont know if it was the same for you, but for me when i was a jw meeting days seemed to have a black cloud hanging over them.

  on thursdays i knew i would be going to the meeting that evening.

  that i would be getting into my meeting clothes at 6:30pm, leaving the house at 6:55pm and be sat in the kingdom hall from 7:15pm-9pm, then milling around for about half an hour before finally getting home for 10pm.

  Pale - this is a post I really relate to.

  Hadn't thought of it in years, but yes - the dreaded Thursday night meeting, Saturday morning FS, Sunday afternoon meeting, Monday night family book study and Tuesday night book study. That left Wednesday as the only free day. As a kid I seemed to have that cloud all the time. Even on the nights we weren't going to meetings or what have you we were expected to prepare for the watchtower by reading and underlining things. Not to mention school work 5 days a week.

  I grew up missing out on organized sports, parties and just playing and having fun with the other kids. They are the worldly kids - don't play with them. So even when we had time off it was pretty lonely.

  No wonder I have stress stomach issues now. Gosh it gives me grief to even think about it now after so long.

  Will the Watchtower Company in the near future start asking for a tithe?

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it appears that the borg has some financial issues and i would think they are related to the hush money being paid out for the child molestation lawsuits to protect the guilty cult members and the fine untarnished reputation of the jdubs.. we have seen how much the borg refers to the hebrew scriptures for their guiding principles whenever it suits the borg's needs.

  tithing certainly is laced throughout the old testament.

  under the mosaic law, there were three tithes.

  Bring in tithing - new light.

  Higher Education allowed - new light.

  = Bring in higher $$$ from tithing based on higher education.

  There is time to get a higher education before 2075 isn't there?

  charity is lacking from the house of god.

  i remember reading once about some young pioneer sisters who needed emergency accommodation and where turn away from brooklyn because they weren’t special pioneers.

  charity begins at home..
