two folks from the local kh visited the house yesterday looking for my wife who is an on again off again baptized jw.
wife was not available so they asked me to tell her about a special talk on marriage next week.
any outlines available for this ‘special talk’ or could this potentially be a local issue?.
Nothing scheduled here but they slip things in last minute. Has your wife caught attention for an indiscretion? Or is there some hanky panky? It could be just the talk in rotation from regular outlines and they just happened to mention it.
Here goes: common sense tells us a stable marriage is better for society and details of arrangements and personalities (and bedroom practices) are no one else's business. Just saved you an hour.
the concept of strategic deception exists in several religious and ideological contexts.
in this article, we will explore and compare the theocratic warfare doctrine of the watchtower society and taqiyya in islam.
both concepts have parallels in their mechanisms of permitting deception for religious purposes but differ significantly in their application and historical roots.. 1. theocratic warfare: the "rahab method".
Unusual for me to read anything that long. Points right on. I will add atheist, governments, skeptics employ the same for their "god" be it a nation, race, sky daddy.
Of course the GB abd JWs will say only they are right and entitled to such.

so just what is the latest directive on shunning?.
asking for a family member.
Not paint; whitewashed.
There are people who danger others either physically or mentally but the guidelines for avoiding them are illogical and enforced haphazard by ynvetted men.
Shunning is and was blackmail.
interesting video connects the dots.

I don't believe Lett is a jovial old fool, quite the opposite.
Herd may just be tired.
i am non political and have never voted but nonetheless i have been keenly watching to see how the trump presidential race unfolds.
i believe that his involvement in propelling or influencing a leaning toward bible prophecy will unfold.
how, i can’t say but something tells me that this anomaly and outlier being trump is highly signifiant!
My blue state requires a (wait for it) utility bill showing name and address-same day as vote
i would like to start a thread on lies that the watchtower and their reps have told.
surely we all have one or two that truly sticks out in our memories, no matter how much we would like to forget.
my favorite wt lie: the reason they don't want to release the name of the "scholars" who worked on the new world translation is because they do not want to accept "glory and honor" from others.
Never gonna get old and die. Now I are one.
Which "truth" have they ever had?
Friendships always have a string attached. But I did find a wonderful wife
news is that the ramapo project has been approved by authorities and can move forward..
I overheard a comment on wifes zoom; "there won't be electricity or satellites or internet but jehovah will make it work". I wonder if it was a dig from a pimo.
