Watchtower Has Statute of Limitation on SIN?
by Nanoprobe instatement from the vicki boer trial .
lawyer colin stevenson argued that momm and his allies were confusing the spiritual law of the witnesses, which imposes a three-year statute of limitations on such things as abuse, with the law of the land, which requires immediate reporting.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=36530&site=3.
was anyone aware of this?
-
Swan
I never knew there was a spiritual statute of limitations. I thought that they said that "God always knows."

OK, I have to ask.
by JeffT inthis came up on another thread.. can you be disfellowshipped for french kissing?
if so, was that always policy?
does that apply to married couples or just singles?
-
Swan
Homosexuals have been known to French kiss, therefore it is not appropriate even within marital relationships.

Wednesday,
While I usually am a bit skeptical of such claims, I try to keep an open mind that there are things that occur that are not explainable by the knowledge of science we have today. I have had things happen to me that I cannot explain. I would rather not go into detail about it though. I don't know what it means. I don't think you are crazy. Just that you had an something unexplainable happen. It may be demons. It may be a cultural (JWs) trick of a suggestable mind. I do find it interesting though that while many non-JWs claim to have encounters with ghosts and aliens, JWs have encounters with demons.
Whatever it was, I'm sure you found it as disturbing as my event was to me. (((Hugs)))

brutalized toddlers
by little witch indoes anyone remember the advice from from the stage, encouraging mothers to remove babies from the room when they were hungry?.
how about, wooden spoons to beat toddlers into submission, preferably in front of the congegation, as to set an example in disipline?
was this just in our hall, or was it from the borg?

My Mom loves to tell this story. When I was about 6 weeks old I was fussing in the meeting. My Mom took me back to the restroom, pulled down my diaper, and gave me a swat. Mom says I was about to cry when she told me to hush up and started to pull my diaper down again. I guess must have got the message, because I quit crying. The other sisters said "Lois, how can you do that to a little baby?" Her response was, "Well it worked, didn't it?"
I also hated the old line, "Don't you cry or I'll give you something to cry about!"
