Snares of the Devil - Questioning the motives of those who pioneer
by Quarterback inthe 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?

uhggghhhh, i hate it when they talk about the pictures! inevitably, some jackass will always offer a ton of speculation about stuff you cant see in the picture (who else is in the house, what the person is thinking, what they do for work, what they had for breakfast ect...) its just stupid.

by Honeybucket ini enjoyed at our assembly today how they compared paul murdering christians with voilent video games, r rated movies and sparlocks.
the reasoning.. jehovahs hates both things.
this talk was directed at young children specifically.

What issue might effect changes to the GB of Jehovahs Witnesses
by barry init 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?.
