  Male-female friendship and dating

  by Renee86 in

  2. relationships

  hi,.

  as far as i can understand is that male-female friendship is a no go for jws.

  but how do things work if you want to date someone of the other sex if you can’t have close friendship with?.

  Group date. Chaperones , get to gethers

  Or just date and the gossips be damned. Be aware you will be watched for signs of loose conduct or fornication. Their definition, not yours.

  Consumption of Blood

  i am new to this and recently converted, so please forgive my ignorance.. i am trying not to sin and don't understand something.

  it says in leviticus that you cannot consume blood, so no blood transfusions.

  i understand this.

  Be warned this is a site for apostate leaning JWs. True wutnesses do not have any open forums.

  That said, the mosaic law says animals are to be bled. Not wringed out. Kosher meat is bled as is almost all American meat. Some jews will hang slices on a rack to let more juice drain. Note that cooked meat still has cooked blood in it.

  You can ask your bible e teacher and the elders but be prepared for conflicting opinions. Note that they are opinions, not supported by WT law. It gets worse when assessing fractions of blood in medical procedures.

  yes or no.

  1959 watchtower pg 172 talks about elders going over board personal vendetta.

  Like the love you get in an orphanage, up to age 18. They envision a rigid family.

  "Being disfellowshipped and shunned is a loving provision "

  You do need to differentiate the reason for disfelloeshipping. Some "sins" are easy to recognize; murder, rape, robbery, fraud. But the usual reasons are doubting the governing body and fornication.

  Liberals really are so stupid

  by mickbobcat in

  so the liberals and their useful idiots, want to ban guns but then do the dumbest crap like letting rioters go and just glad handing criminals.

  now crime is being helped along by the left and people are afraid the police can not protect them and the public's desire for gun control is at an all time low.

  they the liberals are dumb as dog shit.

  Scotts

  The rioters target mostly their own neighborhoods and government buildings. When they think of moving to the outskirts there is a presence of a few armed neighbors visible which discourages them. Korean businesses back when had riflemen on their roofs. No looting or burning, and few if any shot.

  If you come to most of the USA you will never know how many legal guns are present in a crowd as they are concealed. Go to a dodgy neighborhood and you can be assured there are armed thugs. I do have more guns than hands, usually locked away.

  It has been said that one mans terrorist is another's freedom fighter.

  Watchtower Study on 5th December.

  by Lost in the fog in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the wt study for this week is all about disfellowshipping.

  in an early paragraph it said "think how heartbroken jehovah must have been when members of his own angelic family turned their back on him!".

  however when you think about it, when this happened according to the wt teaching, jehovah still engaged with satan in the heavens (book of job) and had conversations with him about what was going on in the earth.. so why do the wt org practice shunning when jehovah god obviously didn't?.

  CJ. Just ease out. They will notice your lack of enthusiasm. A confrontation will galvanize them. Turning in time is problematic. For me, this is a new call. A reply is a RV. Pioneers lie about it.

  A xmas tree, birthdays are another problem if you start

  We dont shoot rioters as a rule but maybe should. A armed person is a deterrent as the bad guy will go to easier pickings. Look up roof top koreans.

  Civil order has broken down.

  I have known congregations to wonder why restrictions last so long on some people. Once here the committee just plain forgot to follow up.

  Waton: divine law enters very seldom. As for ogling, keep your pretty wife off zoom. A sinner can still tune in, as never missing a meeting is a sign of true repentance

  you order something online, and get the notification it's been shipped.. "ooh look, it's only coming from 500 miles away and there's a major route from there to here.

  i bet it'll be put on a truck or maybe a train and here in a day or two.

  great!".

  How about the WT leaving jehovah if they ever were connected.

  Just started, I'm waiting for the " great lengths and time spent by the elders" comments

  TRICKY WORDS and why not to use them

  by Terry in

  tricky words .

  perfectly good words go unused in writing and speaking.

  their meaning isn't clear and the eye is 'tricked' by similarity to other words or sounds.. .

  Instead of avoiding, how about being an amateur etymologist? You know, a person who sticks pins through words.🙂
