  my apologies if it was covered.

  mark sanderson was stressing several times how timely the watchtower teachings are.

  my thoughts on his example : the article on neutrality from november 1939. .

  Faith-Apostasy-Atheism

  by DoubtingThomas in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been on m any different forums, and only carm is similar to this.. all the rest have rather hypocritical trust in god.. this and carm are for those who apostate to the wtbs and to god.. turned off by the gb, or hypocritical examples in the congregation, they drop worshiping god and their belief in the bible... for they know too much,.

  that's why scripture isn't discussed, and jws like me, are demonized.. i am cool with that!

  maybe some of you will come to their senses!.

  how many times did you see elders hounding congregation members to quit their jobs due to missing meetings?.

  my brother worked at a grocery store at 16 years old.

  he would miss tuesday's ministry school due to his work schedule.

  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?.

  Rat

  With out assemblies, construction, cleaning, or even gatherings it is improbable.

  Assuming you want to stay in become a public speaker do you are front and center. Even zoom is guarded so you cannot visit other congregations.

  Beware of dating sites, or even matchmakers.

  Half the elders are in a position to not worry. The others are lazy

  I never had overtime that wasnt for jobs that had to be done. A CO had a fit over it once, last time I ever gave a golden handshake.

  There are experiences where someone got fired for going to assembly. Every one I had any insight on were poor employees to start with.

  with the current discussion if someone in his twenties can be elder or not.

  Except they are not older,neither in life experience nor necessarily age.

  They are overLORDS with varying degrees of ability.

  In theory the ancient older men took advantage of the wisdom of the crowd

  Works? I see virtually every group engaging in charity, working for causes (even ones I disagree with) with one exception.
