the watchtower explains what is idolatry.
I heard the quote about the Mormons too raymond frantz. He also mentioned that they were favouring preaching on social media instead, implying that it was more productive. Such hypocrisy.
Agruably, I would say social media would be a better tactic than a single website alone, though plenty of JWs do their advertising for them on Facebook anyway.

it would be interesting to have some present (stonewall?
) at these meetings to witness and record talk number three on the tms.. talk 3 - "what the bible says about homosexuality" (reasoning book p.368-369).
the reasoning book tells us in part:.
They'll probably try to skirt it by trotting out the old line about "hating the sin, but love the sinner" - I think that probably is about as close to the edge of legality without being identifiable hate speech? (although it really is)
all about love.
how to do it.
why jw's are the experts at it.. gag.
Whoops wrong thread
i have quite a big group of friends who were all in the cong together when we were teens.
about 75% of them stopped going or were df'd right after high school.
it is a varied group; a couple are staunch apostates, some dont care one way or another, and another handfull are fully "worldly", but still believe it is the truth.
Maybe some elders are taking seriously the recent push from Circuit Overseers to contact inactive JWs?

hey guys.
i am seeing a lot of flak on the forum over this study wt, and rightly so, as it's rather creepy.
but i'd like to suggest an alternate way of looking at this upcoming series of articles -- as an opportunity.
I wish I could afford to go on vacation. Maybe I could just hide in my basement for a month.
Oh wait...
to be holy, we must weigh the scriptures carefully and do what god asks of us.
consider aarons sons nadab and abihu, who were executed for offering unauthorized fire, perhaps while inebriated.

Rutherford would be pleased.
after going through all the processes of how they appointed elders in the past they say this:.
"the elders in turn would inform the newly appointed men of their appointment, asking them if they were willing and actually qualified to accept the assignment.
so after qualifying the man you ask him if he is qualified.. .
Same thing happened to me being announced as an MS too - bundled into the back of a car a few mins before the meeting started, with no idea why they were asking me questions.

That guy in the basement may just as well be reading the instructions on a packet of kool-aid.
this week on the tms, there was a talk about achan.
how i didnt see how out of wack the jws moral compass is earlier i do not know.
achan stole some valuables from jericho and for this him and his whole family was murdered in a brutal fashon and burned up by fire.
I always thought it was strange with Achan that he stole garments - it seems like kleptomania.
Presumably they would be immediately identifiable as not being Israelite garments, perhaps in their quality, but very likely lacking in the fringes and blue thread.
There is no way he could ever have worn the garments in public, and he couldn't really trade them with Isrealites either, so what was he planning to do with them?
