Who Pays The Ferryman....?
by hillary_step infrench philosopher blaise pascal once noted, "men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.
" a case study for this statement can clearly be evidenced by the governing body of jehovahs witnesses.. the gb present themselves as lovers of truth and righteousness who are the only persons on this planet who speak for god.
this doctrine is at the very core of the beliefs of jehovahs witnesses and is one of the few that cannot be rationalized away by wts apologists.

If the thinking of an elder, CO, DO, etc, is changed, it makes little difference to the WTS and normally results in their rapid expulsion from the WTS. Change the thinking of a member of the GB and doctrine changes with it.
This quote is so powerful! How true! If a publisher, elder, CO or DO had a different view on a scriptural matter, you'd be df'd....but if a GB member comes to that conclusion and shares his view, the matter is discussed and voted on! There are several matters that have not passed the 2/3 vote so the matter has not come to change WTS doctrine, but do you think that the ones that voted in favor of the "new" view get talked to, met with or df'd???? No way!
Talk about a double standard......its ok for them to think and discuss scriptural points or ponder on them but not anybody else. They need to invest in some mannequins or better yet, I could drive down to Hollywood and buy them some rubber blow up dolls!

I won't cut my beard!
by caballoSentado insome time ago i learned of the un affair & saw the truth...i am fading away now so i have not been attending meetings regularly for some time, specially the book study.
two days ago, i learned that a letter was read in my book study regarding personal attire, and it was said that one should not grow a beard (this letter was not read in any of the other book studies).
they say you are not a good christian, you are not spiritual, if you grow a beard.

A letter regarding beards saying you aren't a good Christian if you have one? Who wrote it? And then I'd call that person! There is no unity on the beard issue: brothers in the UK have them, they serve as elders. Jesus had one, um, Christ, who Christians are called after, CT Russell had one, I doubt they'd say he was a bad Christian!

The article talks about Craig Button ...... his sister is one of my best friends and has been now for 20 years now. She is not one of JW's. Craig was raised in the truth since age 2, Susane was out of the house already and her father was married to Craig's mom.
I had met Craig several times, he was not in the least homosexual. And for him to ask for information on the "end of the world" is ridiculous. He didn't join the Air Force til he was in his early 20's. I am sure that his parents probably commented on his career choice (even tho his dad had been in the Air Force all of his life, but pre-JW). Craig wanted to fly and the Air Force was his only option and he had just gotten the go-ahead to go to Germany and fly over there, life was looking up for him, the family strongly believes suicide was not the reason for his death.

Blaman, I am assuming you are a man,,,,,,, so, I think thaat you should ask: since there are no distinctions betweeen male and female, why then is it ok for a sister to have pierced ears but not a brother?

Have you tried calling an insurance BROKER? They have all the quotes but they do have a fee, make sure you let them know that the fee is negotioable.
