i`m thinking about major conventions held by jw`s either nationally or internationally .they must be a big boost to the local economy when they are held .. think about the major international conventions held by jw`s over the years .
yankee stadium / polo grounds being one of the major ones ,though its not just confined to the jw`s ,billy graham crusades , and of course the pope`s visits to various countries.. and are they culpable or should they be for promoting these events to occur under there watch ?.
i mean as an extreme illustration or two here would such govts.
I thank you blondie for the links you have supplied ,if you or I as a rank and file member of the religion and had dealings with any false religion we would be hauled over the coals and been reproved in a judicial Committee meeting.and maybe even disfellowshipped . because of our involvement .
Apparently there are two sets of standards to be applied here ,one for the WT organization higher ups , G.B.members and such. and another one for the rank and file members of the JW religion.
i have been studying with jehovah's witnesses for approximately two years.
initially, i liked the studies and felt that i was growing closer to god.
however, as the studies progressed, they seemed to become increasingly negative and i did not like what i was being taught.
Could you give us all some examples as to what questions to ask them Black Sheep ?
That they don`t like to answer to ?
It would be much appreciated ,especially for newbies .

And to quote a wise person on this board who said some time ago ,
"The only power they have over you is the power you give them "
You are your own person ,do what you want to do and not what you think others want you to do .
stand up for yourself .
and be your own person.
"from this it is clearly seen that the editor and publisher of zion's watch tower disavowed any claim to being individually, in his person, that "faithful and wise servant.
" he never did claim to be such," ("god's kingdom of a thousand years has approached," 1973, p. 346).. or this?.
"thousands of the readers of pastor russell's writings believe that he filled the office of 'that faithful and wise servant,' and that his great work was giving to the household of faith meat in due season.
The WTB&TS speak out of both sides of there mouth as do Jehovah`s Witnesses today who are mainly made up of gullible ,intellectual lazy people who want to be told what to believe and not do any research for themselves .
Welcome to the forum Sea Breeze
"Your post has been like a breath of fresh air"

I live on the Coast of Vict Aust ,so I know all about sea breezes LOL
i was hoping to get some advice on what to say to a parent who wouldn’t support you to get married to a “worldy person”.
always bringing up “marry only in the lord” even when that hasnt worked out for the parent, twice divorced lol.
is there a way to discredit that scripture or argue back respectfully without giving away that you are pimo?.
In reality, to be
"married in the Lord" ,could mean you could be yoked together with anyone in / of 40,000 Christian Religions ?
and you would still be adhering to ,not violating scripture.

You have given them hours of YOUR time that they report monthly.
In other words they have wasted your time by not being up front with you that it is/was there goal to get you baptized into there religion .
Don`t feel guilty about it.Once you stop associating with them at meetings they will drop you like a sack of potatoes showing there true colours.

So this is good news Atlantis ? you cant lose ? or did I mis-read it ?
hi everyone, i got the news that the lawsuit against the watchtower for the child abuse issue has been accepted in quebec(canada).
that means it can proceed further.
it is a first victory.
Rattigan350 ,I do agree that it is the responsibility of parents and family members to report child sexual abuse when they become aware of it ,however they are often hindered from doing so by the Elders because it will bring reproach on Jehovah`s name and his organization (Jehovah`s Witnesses )
Elders in there judicial committees handling such cases are privy to details of such sexual abuse that makes it a moral and ethical issue that they should report it to the local authorities to not only protect the victim but also any other child in the congregation not to mention children in the congregations territory .
