  finding friends outside the Borg - a Scary thought

  has anyone else found that the teaching of the "outside world" being a "bad association" limits your involvement and ability to make new freinds?.

  if so how have you overcome this and any suggestions to helping those suffering from these feelings?.

  Shunning via Rumor

  well, i went back to the area of my old congregation yesterday.

  my daughter's best friend amanda was getting married, and despite my trepidation, amanda had begged me to show up and to dance a dance with her.

  my trepidation was twofold; first, my ex-wife was going to be there, and after our messy divorce only six months ago, i had no desire to be anywhere where she was.

  Traitors and heroes.

  the whitewashed history of the watchtower society in nazi germany.. the man who became leader of the german branch of the watchtower society after the war is without exception portrayed as a beacon of virtue and faith, standing fearless against the nazis:.

  *** w89 5/1 12 jehovah has sustained me as a friend ***.

  many of the loyal ones, among them erich frost and konrad franke, who suffered much for the lords sake and later became branch overseers in germany, returned alive from the fiery furnace of persecution.. .

  Dedicated

  by joelbear in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have a question for the group.. i am wondering if anyone has ever had a dedication and baptism successfully anulled.. i clearly recall that i did not answer the 2 questions when asked with the baptismal group.

  i have an enormously strong aversion to lying and i knew that i was a homosexual and therefore didn't feel like i could answer the questions truthfully even though i was a virgin.. if i was never dedicated in jehovah's eyes how can i be disfellowshipped in his eyes.

  i never took the vow, so doesn't that basically just make my baptism meaningless.

  What is an Amicus Brief

  by 3acrewood in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  hi, waiting, and all others concerned about this amicus brief:.

  just to set the record straight - i have been a legal secretary for over 20 years, and i assure you there is nothing shady about the society filing an amicus brief in regard to this swaggart thing.

  an amicus brief is filed in cases in which the verdict could set a precedent that would or could have an adverse affect on other parties not involved in the suit (i.e., other religious organizations, corporations, etc.).
