  so i am at a loose end tonight.

  i am not going to the meeting and sitting on the back row looking repentant no way!.

  here are some options... care to add some if you wish, help me to decide.. 1. go to the meeting and sit in the middle, reading "einstein and religion" paperback, go in early and stay after the prayer.

  Elders appointed by Holy Spirit, an error in logic

  by VM44 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower and the jws use the following reasoining to "prove" that elders are appointed by holy spirit.. 1) the bible was written under inspiration of the holy spirt.. 2) the bible requirements for and elder are followed when selecting and appointing elders.. 3) therefore, the elders are appointed by holy spirt.. thre is a logical flaw in this argument.. consider the following counter example.. suppose that a person obtains a book on medicine written by a doctor a, and that the person follows the instructions in the book concerning the writing a prescription.. 1) can the perscription that the person wrote be considered as having been written by doctor a?.

  2) can the perscription that the person wrote even be considered as having been written under the direction of doctor a?.

  the answer to both questions is "no.".

  So my husband was appointed as an elder after kissing ass for 6years

  In this new cong. They asked the question, "is there anything you need to come forth with of past doings

  That you need to tell us ?" yes he said. He didn't tell me about a time he was with a woman

  , it was the only one he didn't tell ME about(just kissing) several times before this incident, he was caught

  By me. He never got DF'ed... For those times. But needless to say he was appointed...then just a month ago... 10 years later... He went to the elders to confess that there was some manipulations!! Feeling up! Hmmm why wouldnt holy spirit know this already and not apoint him?!! I always said that he had to of done more... But he denied it! (he stepped down after 3 years, since our kid was in trouble!) ! And then one time he claimed he felt he holy purity in use when he was appointed! What a load of crap!!! The elders said to him, your wife has grounds to divorce... What was his discipline? Not being able to do mics and lit. Counter!!! And I'm the one who is shunned by those AH's for not going to meeting!

  this site is not a healthy forum for discussion or healing.

  its an arena for jaded athiests to bash anything christian or god related.

  yes, i know the jw's lied to us about god and the truth.

  I think that we all have aright to believe what we want, if it makes us feel better! You're judging me, and I judge you. We believed in Jehovah, and thanks to the tower.. It's hard to believe anything anymore.. Peace out! Love life and live!😬

  Born Again Christians and JWs should look at the bigger picture and stop fighting with each other.

  by booker-t in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it just amazes me how born again christians and jws are fighting and mudslinging at each other all the while not looking at the real problem in front of them the bible.

  the bible has been used for thousands of years to committ all sorts of horrible crimes against others.

  i am so sick and tired of reading about jws did this and that and christians did this and that when both groups will refuse to explain all of the contradictions and outright discrepencies in the bible.

  That's why it easier not to believe in the bible. Do I believe in something? Yes but to say it's the god of the bible, that would be a big fat no! there have been books written with the same type of stories as the bible. Do research. After 25 years as a witness, I believe for myself that there is energy and we are all a part if it. And we merge. Am I happy that I believe this way? for sure. After all the bible gas started so many wars!! In the name of religion. I was catching a you tube video, one of my fav peeps, talking about how the society tells the cong. Not to watch violence, porn, movies that are blood guts etc. but hey just read the bible. !! Really. nuff said!!

  so today, two elders from a congregation i was in two years ago came by the house.

  they said they wanted to talk to me about things that they have heard, and that they want to talk to me very quickly, as soon as possible.

  I hope you're able to record it, AND if you are DF'ed tell them it has been recorded.

  I know there will come a time that they will come at my door.

  I think they are stalling cause hubby is in and liked.

  Blood transfusion and eating pork

  by Sittingstraight1212 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just trying to gather info as a reasoning point to donate blood or get a transfusion.

  why can witnesses have some blood parts, if they stuck to the belief of what the scrip says, never said anything about parts!??

  and why can they eat pork, of it's health concern was that the pig is dirty.
