That Most Uneven of Judicial Procedures~The Gradual Lifting of Restriction After Reinstatement

by TMS in

those with substantial experience as jws will likely agree that judicial matters are handled with considerable inconsistency.

elders certainly vary in skill level, understanding, compassion or even knowledge of the talmudlike watchtower rules.

the punishment and, it is actually punishment, for similar offenses can result in anything from private or public reproof to disfellowshipping or sometimes an elder will choose to simply offer private counsel without even bringing the matter before the body of elders.

2+2=5

Elders themselves with a "secret sin" they've been hiding for several years, may even avoid judicial action altogether if its determined that their life shows evidence of "Jehovah's blessing" in the intervening years of concealing the sin. Their theocratic appointment and privileges are considered part of that evidence

Yes, I commented about this little provision on a different thread yesterday, I probably didn't put it as succinctly, I used drugs and hookers to get my point across, your language sounded more like it would straight out of that filthy little book (elders cult instructions manual WT edition).

I would say congregation privileges are used as punishment and reward by dick elders in every congregation in the world. Myriads of elders get off on having control over these pathetic little assignments they call privileges . How small minded can you get?

Sisters should also be able to have some congregation privileges, I think my wife has skills to handle a microphone wonderfully.

Horror and Paradise For Jehovah's Witnesses

The killing of infidels must take place, it's God's will, kill them all and let's enjoy paradise.

This is what we hear in the OT from Moses and his followers, and from ISIS and their members today and also from Bro Ciro Aulicino and the dedicated members of the WTS.

Nothing says religion like genocide really.

They Don't Have A Secret Elder's Book

by pale.emperor in

"they don't have a secret elder's book" so said my mother.

"all of our publications are open to everyone.

we all have the same information and nothing is hidden in this religion.".

2+2=5

I think the real gem in that shitty book is the way the elders can basically get away with doing anything, as long as time passes and it goes unnoticed.

The provision in the book allows for elders to remain serving if they admit to previous serious sins, as long as the sins are not known in the congregation and the elder has successfully been leading a double life. Get your slap on the wrist and continue lording it over others and being a hypocrite.

They could have cocaine and prostitute addictions, that is not the issue, they just need to keep the 'appearance' of a having a clean congregation. If the elder has kept his sins secret and still has the respect of the flock, he can remain.

Let's be honest, this is the the WTS, the elders could technically rape children and get away with it, because of loopholes created to protect their image. Sadly this is the reality of what goes on when men are allowed to let delusional ideas fester.

What a loving provision!

I conclude evolution is guided

by KateWild in

your qualifications are way above mine so i'd love to hear more about the specifics of what you have researched and how that supports the existence of a deity.

k99, i am not really convinced that you're interested in my conclusions.

in nature amino acids formed to then form dna.

Kate seems to have gone a bit silly.

It's very subtle though, like a brick to the head.

Cancer has been with us for a long time

by Coded Logic in

a 2 million year old hominid has been discovered that had cancer in its foot - making it the oldest neoplasia found in the human lineage.

now, as to why cancer predates original sin by nearly 2 million years, i'd love to hear christian apologists try and explain.. http://sajs.co.za/osteogenic-tumour-australopithecus-sediba-earliest-hominin-evidence-neoplastic-disease/patrick-s-randolph-quinney-scott-williams-maryna-steyn-marc-r-meyer-jacqueline-s-smilg-steven-e.

Interesting reading....

It seems the demons have deceived you with quackery and science. Why put your faith in 2 million year old cancers?

The earth is young and Jesus is real.

I always read the articles that Perry copy pastes, so I am absolutely qualified to dismiss everything anyone says.

Just a little anecdote illustrating how out of touch the typical JW is

by sir82 in

jw
friends

this weeks book study lesson was on martha, the sister of lazarus.

the chapter in the "imitate their faith" book praised her for being "industrious".. the conductor at our congregation meeting was just positively gushing about how "industrious" modern-day jw women are.. he was so exciting, he could barely get the words out.

following is not an exact quote, but conveys the gist:.

Just as a bonus there is usually plenty of head coverings available when organising a closet, obviously needed if there is a penis near by.

Celebration for those on JWD

by Quarterback in

jw
friends

so let's just say that the wt org is now finished.

families with da/df members are now reunited.

everyone is burning their med directive cards.

2+2=5

Any sudden collapse would give birth to splinter groups, so the crazy would never stop....... millions of ex JWs would morph into millions of yet another pseudo Jewish/Christian dooms day cult.

I will probably take the lead of one group, guide them through this wicked system and become their oracle.

Finally "they" have reinstated me! that was easy!!!

by Prometheus in

it was rather quick one.

in just few months and after attending all of their meetings and giving them a nice show, i'm back to the org!!!

(what a relief-sarcastic laugh) .

In one of the recent WT Study articles, it was a comment of Jesus being King for 102 years! And I nearly say it loud: " so 1000 years of the Kingdom are down to 900 since Jesus rules from 1914. So He has less than 900 to bring mankind to perfection...."

I am afraid you don't understand the JW theology correctly. Jesus 1000 year reign does not begin until after the great tribulation has climaxed with Armageddon. It's a grand climax, remember? They have book on it, you should study up it's fascinating.

I have noticed you are not alone in this misunderstanding, it gets said often but it is not a fair representation of thier murky cesspool theology.

Won't get fooled again .....

by The Rebel in

jw
friends

having left the witnesses i hope i won't get " fooled again".

yet life outside the organisation seems one big advertistiment telling me how useless i am.

these advertisements tell me i am physically ugly, which can only be corrected by buying the advertisers " answer to my prayers" product.

You should really listen to those advertisements that tell you that you're to short, fat, ugly, unhealthy, unhappy and useless. They have the best products.

That Swivel Sweep looks good, if you dress nice and maintain a forced smile on your face, it should keep the whole house sparkling and the kids well behaved.

I recently bought some soap that can make me taller.

Serena Williams provocative with Beyoncé.

by 2+2=5 in

anyone seen sister williams working her assests on the latest beyonce video?

what's the go, surely she is not a declared jw?.

she needs some serious council from jehovah, and i'm guessing bro sammy herd wouldn't mind being on that little committee.. the song is called "sorry".

2+2=5

Serena Williams won Wimbledon, her 22nd major title.

How did she do it? Why is she so good? - I hear you ask.

"Thank you to God Jehovah for letting me be out here, I could not have done it without Him"

Wow! Jehovah holds the keys to her success! I think she better organise another music video with a pop star real quick, because Jehovah has blessed her efforts.
