Why is the Faithful Slave Now Admitting Ignorance?

by Vanderhoven7 in

dbm writes on the question: will sodomites get a resurrection?.

i guess it depends the date that you asked this question.

here is a screenshot from a video which gives an overview of the changes (new light) on this question:.

The GB should attend a REAL theological seminary, to learn REAL Bible truth, then maybe they can print this in the WT.

the magazine that they are studying in the congregation this month has an article at the back about how pornography in a marriage could damage the relationship.. there's one piece of advice that sounds rather scary, the wt suggests that the couple should "consider asking an elder with whom you are both comfortable to sit in and guide your discussions for a time.".

how many of you would want an elder present in your home while you and your partner discussed your personal sexual cravings and the type of porn videos being watched?.

Yes, enough, many elders get their jollies off of judicial committees, and marital advising, etc.

Jehovah's Witness' bid to be excluded from abuse inquiry dismissed

by Tahoe in

link to article.

a legal bid by the jehovah's witness church to get out of being part of the royal commission of inquiry into abuse in care has been dismissed by the high court in wellington.. after nearly three years of behind-the-scenes legal wrangling to avoid scrutiny from the inquiry, the church applied for a judicial review in june.. at a hearing, held earlier this month it argued it was beyond the inquiry's scope because it did not operate institutions that cared for children or vulnerable people and the inquiry had uncovered no evidence of abuse in that context.. lawyers representing the inquiry argued that jehovah's witness elders - equivalent to ministers or pastors - exercised a level of control over the congregation that allowed them access to children.. the inquiry informed abuse survivors who gave evidence to the inquiry in relation to the jehovah's witnesses of the news this afternoon.. "we have received advice from the high court that none of the causes of action brought by the jehovah's witnesses has succeeded and the application for judicial review has been dismissed.

the judge's reasons are not yet available, but are expected in the near future," the email to survivors, seen by rnz, said.. the church was the only faith-based institution in the country to legally challenge its involvement in the inquiry, although it had attempted to challenge its status in other countries where similar inquiries have also been carried out.. the inquiry said, in a statement, that the dismissal "means the royal commission can continue to investigate the jehovah's witnesses, and all other faiths, in accordance with the pastoral care approach we have been applying since 2019".. "reasons for the high court's judgment are not yet available but are expected in the near future.

Therapy with an EXJW therapist that’s working for me

by Exjwjohn in

for years after leaving i was afraid of going to therapy or seeking help with a counselor to unpack my jehovah’s witness upbringing and shunning.

i think one of the things i like the most about therapy with an exjw therapist is that i dont have to explain every detail.

she knows my issues and it saves time and $$ in sessions.

I clicked on your link, thank you! Very informative! 👍

I am a victim of this thinking (in a way). First marriage, age 18, no kids, lasted 3 1/2 years. Second marriage, after leaving, and going POMO, age 30, has lasted 34 years, 1daughter, 2 wonderful grandchildren. I wish I could have just slept with him, then moved on. The first guy, I mean.
