  FAT PEOPLE = BAD ASSOCIATION

  i carry a few extra pounds but i generally don't overeat.

  however, i enjoy a good meal.

  but, the organization that says, "let us not judge others" is giving it's members free reign to judge those who are overweight (in the judger's eyes).

  Shun Spiritually Damaging Lifestyles (page 22 in 12/15/03 WT)

  14 ...Jesus accurately described the life-styles that people in general pursue: overindulgence in food, drunkeness, and a way of life that brings anxieties. 15 Overeating and heavy drinking are out of harmony with Bible principles and are to be shunned. "Do not come to be among heavy drinkers of wine, among those who are gluttonous eaters of flesh," states the Bible. (Proverbs 23:20) For it to be dangerous, though, eating and drinking does not have to reach that level. It can make one drowsy and lazy long before that...

  So, if the subheading commands one to shun this "spiritually damaging life-style", won't they also shun those who they PERCEIVE as being an overeater (such as an overweight person)?

  I'm from Philly (33 years)...(Go Eagles)...and I have never heard of this story. Plus, as far as I know, there aren't any congregations with those names in and around Philly.

  The biggest scandal I recall here happened at a Hall on Broad Street in North Philly. There was a stealing contribution money thing and almost all the elders were in on it. The entire (save one) elder body was removed by the CO.

  I heard about a wife-swapping congregation but I'm not 100% sure that was in Philly.

  WT seals it's own fate

  by Waymores Ghost in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in it's quest to be the spotless, shining beacon for all the world to see, the wt's continuing policies regarding sexual/child abuse have produced the opposite effect.

  common sense would tell you that if a religious organization had a policy of immediately requesting police to investigate when a victim comes forth with an accusation, outsiders could see that this kind of behaviour is not tolerated in the least.

  people would welcome that kind of transparancy.. actually, the wt sealed it's fate when it decided it could declare itself the only religious organization without blemish, because of course, it is the one true religion.

  Stupid, Illogical Belief of the JWs

  by Funchback in

  a jw woman died a few days ago at the age of 31. she died from ovarian cancer.

  i knew her since she was a young girl.

  but her death got me thinking about the jw belief/interpretation of the resurrection.

  Here's another one to think about:

  A mother/wife and her 8-year-old son die and the husband is still single after the Big A. Who will raise the child? Will Jehovah have a Family Court established to see who gets custody? After all, the father won't be allowed to reunite with his wife.

  Hmm...I wonder what the child support would be: 18 bushels of wheat per week?

  Nikita... Leah Obey is the one who died.

  Where were you at 33 years of age?

  by DanTheMan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've managed to survive 33 years (and a couple of weeks).

  what a long strange trip it's been.. in spite of some tell-tale signs of aging (wrinkles around eyes, gray hair, mystified and sometimes terrified by the current youth culture) in some ways i still feel like a little kid who doesn't know anything.

  what have you learned since then?

  Yeah, Huxley! I always said that, too. A dead 20-year-old mom might be greeted by her 75 year old son.

  Another illogical concept: God will resurrect children, and their parents will welcome them back and raise them. This makes sense because it's a FAMILY. But somehow God of the JWs no longer considers it a family when it's just a husband and wife with no children.

  he looked like al jareau/ louis farakan with his little bow tie and his wife looked like venessa williams a light skinned woman with green eyes.

  they were the cooliest couple i had ever met in the traveling work- they had a style that was very unusal, in most cases the wife if often times unknown and stands in the showdow of her man, not levine she was all woman- smile.

  alot of the boys had a crush on her - she never got fresh but she was just nice-.

  Hi, sis.

  I am from, and have lived in and near, Philly all my life (33 years) but I have never heard of this couple that you mention. I wish I could help.

  By the way, welcome to the Forum.
