i was wondering if the gb has forbidden vaping yet, so i did a search.
there was a thread from a year ago, the comments covered all the bases i suspected the wt would come up with.
i'm out, so it doesn't really matter to me.
weed has been brought before. If you have a medical marijuana card, prescription, whatever, it's ok. Apparently the demons check your wallet for it first. If you have it, they leave you alone. If don't, well buddy, you're in for a wild evening.
edit: I remember the anti-rap stuff starting in the late 80's. I wish I could remember the article, but there was an Awake that condemned rap because (and I think I have the quote) 'they lyrics are spoken, not sung.'
It's such an insane thing to harp on.
the question is can her mother and father who are witnesses greet her in the morning only or would they be a sharer in her wicked deeds and thus also be df for saying a greeting?.
It's insane that Jehovah..I mean the WTS can give minors what is essentially the death penalty. Remember that if armageddon comes and you're DFed, you're toast.
when i was younger i used to hear about "marking talks" given in the past.
i believe they stopped in the 80's or 90's.
basically, if someone wasn't baptized or doing something unrepentant, they would get a "marking talk" and be treated the same as a df person.
They never went away.
There's no employees at Bethel so nothing about Obamacare applies to them.
i was told by someone that in 2007 two members of the branch committee in greece were removed because they breached the vow of poverty.
the matter was over a small amount, in the range of a few hundred euro.
is there a copy of this vow available and how would this be applied here?
Yes if you made money from a side job you are supposed to give it to them but they would usually gift it back to you.
I never saw anyone actually turn the money over. I guess it was an unwritten rule that no one cared about your money as long as you took a vacation day.

just a bit of fun..
those aren't very dank

In the US, it means that if you sign the vow you can't have another job. As an example, a Bethelite wouldn't be allowed to have a night job at a McDonalds or something like that. The only way to earn extra money would be to use a vacation day to do a side odd job. I'm guessing it's similar in other countries.
so is he a witness or if not what are gb going to do about it since she identifies with the watchtower society?.
Wozza, the Williams sisters have never been baptized. They are inactive unbaptized publishers at best... in other words they are nothing as far as the org is concerned. What is the org supposed to do with them?
here we are on the cusp of the new year, and the 2017 yearbook of jws has still not been released.
jw.org continues to feature the 2016 yearbook in its list of main publications.
in previous years, the upcoming yearbook's annual report on jws was released in november for the january 1st then the feb 1st watchtower, then earlier in december when it was only featured in the yearbook, then more recently with a couple of days of december 25th.
Yeah they've had to come up with a lot of excuses. First it was "these new partakers are filling the slots taken by people who were anointed but stopped being JWs. That didn't fly because man, that's a LOT of old anointed dudes leaving the org.
Then they spun it into 'a lot of the partakers are crazy.' that is even worse because what does that say for the org when there's THAT many crazy dudes.
i have two questions about warwick.
see the picture included.
1) at the other side of the lake you see other buildings.
I could see them dumping Wallkill. There's less and less printing and shipping so it would be easy to shift that to another branch.
They'd probably have to add on to Warwick if they sold Patterson though. They've got quite a few departments there plus the schools and stuff.
