What issue might effect changes to the GB of Jehovahs Witnesses

by barry in

jw
friends

it would have to be a grass roots issue and something that questions their authority for ever .. an non doctrinal issue may catch the gb by supprise.. many issues have allready been resolved in a very dramatic way slavery is now not a problem, women have the vote and we are taught to respect minority groups.. on the other hand what about a grass roots issue by jehovahs witnesses to accept womens ordination of elders.

other churches such as the anglicans now have women ordained to the ministry the adventists have had women pastors commissioned for a while now and have just voted in some unions to have women ordained to give women the same rights as men.

i just wondered what your thoughts are on this?.

grumblecakes

yes, and what were they petitioning?

Snares of the Devil - Questioning the motives of those who pioneer

by Quarterback in

jw
friends

the wt for today, can't remember exactly what paragraph, stated the dangers of the tongue.

it went further to mention that we wouldn't want to question the motives of a sister who was appointed in the congregation as a pioneer.

there was even a picture to add emphasis.. who on earth questions that?

brothers are every bit as guilty of bad mouthing in my experience. every congregation is driven by guilt and shame and fear of what people think...every congregation is also run by brothers.

all 3 congs i was/is in announced when someone stoppoed pioneering. i think i remember reading thatt it is procedure in like the OM book or something.

So in the new system, when rock climbing, the appropriate attire is khaki slacks with collared shirts (tucked in so they're certain to look like asshats)?
