  *** w88 3/15 p. 17 par. 8 Serving as Jehovah’s Trusting Fellow Workers ***

  8 We may keep busy in Jehovah’s service, preaching the good news of God’s Kingdom. But if we are not very careful to exercise self-control, we may transgress because of fleshly weaknesses and bring reproach upon Jehovah’s name. Thus, a few years ago an elder committed adultery with a spiritual sister who had an unbelieving husband. On the evening that the disfellowshipping of the former elder was announced, the infuriated husband strode into the Kingdom Hall with a shotgun and fired shots at the two guilty individuals. Neither of them was killed, but the next day this was front-page news in the largest newspaper in the United States! Truly, wrongdoing brings reproach.—Proverbs 6:32.

  The old "Book Study Group"

  by The Fall Guy in

  in the june 2004 kingdom ministry, the self-appointed "faithful slave" published this spiritual exhortation as a q&a item - "the congregation book study—why we need it.

  three years later, in 2007 - in the august kingdom ministry - the same "slave" issued this reminder - "how the congregation book study arrangement helps us.

  but surprise, surprise - within a few short months the "slave" decided that jehovah had had a change of heart, and now decided that the book study in homes - with all of its alleged benefits - was superfluous: .

  At a KH it's a lot more formal and would be a lot more difficult for a perpetrator to carry that out e.g more people present, more people in bathroom area. Like I said it was just a rumor I heard if anyone can add to it.

  Besides this, there is liability insurance at the KH, none for the Congregation protection at the Book Study. The arrangement was a reflection of a previous, more innocent time.

  okay so jared kushner will probably be thoroughly investigated maybe he already has been.. they will look at all of his business dealings, who he was worked with over the last few years.. who sold him all of their properties - we know the answer to that.

  wt.. will the u.s government also investigate watchtower as well - we shall see.

  you never know what will happen.. i can see a private investigation who knows what they will uncover.. just a thought.. wgo..

  That’s not all: The busy Podesta Group also represented Uranium One, a uranium company acquired by the Russian government which received approval from Hillary Clinton’s State Department to mine for uranium in the U.S. and gave Russia twenty percent control of US uranium. The New York Times reported Uranium One’s chairman, Frank Guistra, made significant donations to the Clinton Foundation, and Bill Clinton was paid $500,000 for one speech from a Russian investment bank that has “links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.” Notably, Frank Giustra, the Clinton Foundation’s largest and most controversial donor, does not appearanywhere in Clinton’s “non-private” emails. It is possible that the emails of such key donors were automatically scrubbed to protect the Clinton Foundation.

  amazing how cults end up looking so similar.

  have you ever wondered how budhist monks and catholic monks look and behave so similarly?

  or why mormons and jw religion have so many parallels?.

  I just read that the French are not happy with the movie; they feel that it doesn't recognize them enough.

  What happened in Cuba

  Heccea year agoa year ago

  A little bit more of "cold war history".

  When started to get hot and it was evident that there was going to be a serious clash with the Government, the first thing that the WT did was to protect their assets; they converted as much of their property into solid cash and got the money out of the country mostly by illegal means

  Family of Jehovah's Witness who died after refusing blood transfusion can't keep suing doctors

  by pale.emperor in

  http://www.pennlive.com/news/2017/07/court_nixes_lawsuit_by_family.html.

  the family of a jehovah's witness who died after repeatedly refusing blood transfusions can't sue the hospital where doctors begged for a chance to save her life, a state appeals court ruled.. the case, outlined in an opinion by superior court judge jacqueline o. shogan, involves a convergence of religion, medicine and the law.. its focus is on what happened before terri seels-davila, a jehovah's witness missionary, died after giving birth at hahnemann university hospital in philadelphia in november 2010.. seels-davila, who had been serving on mission with her husband in nicaragua, chose hahnemann because of its "bloodless medicine" program for patients who won't agree to having blood transfusions, including jehovah's witnesses, shogan noted.

  the treatment plan for seels-davila called for recycling her own blood back into her system.. yet that proved to be inadequate when complications of her delivery required seels-davila to deliver by cesarean section.

  "Family of Jehovah's Witness who died after refusing blood transfusion can't keep suing doctors" - Correct. You can't have it both ways.

  What happened to not infringing on someone's religion?

  Oh right, someone died because of that religion.

  The Jehovahs are a fringe Christian cult whose ignorance sentences their adherents to death. No religion worth believing in does that, in my opinion.
  

  @JTSpangler they are no more fringe than any other Christian sect. Each sect has just as many baseless beliefs as the next. It's just when those beliefs are actually acted upon that people realize that religion is pretty silly and dangerous.

  wait, what? why is this even a thing? how did this waste my tax dollars in any court?
  

  

  JB781 day ago

  @D I'm trying to understand this too! If their religion prohibits blood transfusion and she obviously died from a loss of blood why are they suing? Shouldn't they be going around knocking on peoples' homes instead???

  It's civil court, so one or both of the parties are likely footing the bill.
