  Are You Horrifed if Someone Goes Into a “Massage Parlor”?

  by minimus in

  yesterday, robert kraft, the owner of the new england patriots, got busted for getting a massage and more.

  they say there is another more high profile person who also got busted.. does this stuff upset you that some men have gone into a massage parlor for possibly more than a massage?

  ?.

  I don't get this whole 'happy ending' thing. If it is an ending, it is not happy.

  Vidiot.

  Nope, not a troll. I do know the TTATT.

  I'm one of those that is stuck in the middle. While I don't like many things in the JWs, such as how they direct people's life outside the religion, shunning, blood, I do believe that the religion is the correct one according to the Bible. But I am against this apostate movement. That is the jumping on the bandwagon and being all AntiJW and coming up with these crazy reasons (child abuse, UN NGO things that were never taught in the religion) just because they don't like the meetings and field service. I don't like meetings and FS either but it is a religion and that is what religionists do.

  " Do you really think that such a person will molest a child in front a second witness?"

  Do you think that such a person will molest an adult in front of a second witness?

  I realize that this whole child abuse issues exists because it is easy to use against the Watchtower. So it addresses no truth in the matter. It is a red herring.
  

  And John Prestor, I am not living under a rock. You all are.

  Are you even hearing about this documentary about Michael Jackson?

  Those two men previously testified that Michael did nothing wrong. Now they are saying that they were pressured to say that and MJ molested and abused them.

  And you criticized the two witness rule? What do you all say about flip flopping?

  Was Russell "that" Faithful and Wise Servant?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "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.

  I don't think anyone is the FDS.

  It is wrong to build a religion around one scripture.

  The Catholics use Matt 16 "Upon this rock"

  JWs used Matt 24:45-47.

  Who is right?

  I prefer to use the John 13 Followers have love among themselves.

  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?.

  Ok, Ok,. Just why do they know that the other person is not a Witness? Just tell them that he or she goes to a different congregation and get married by a judge. Unless of course the person looks weird such as wearing a beard or piercings, in which case you shouldn't be getting married to that one.

  False Predictions

  by Sea Breeze in

  2. beliefs

  what you will not be told at the door bythe jehovah’s witnesses.

  the jehovah’s witness (or watchtower bible and tract society) have made the followingpredictions which appear in their own literature:.

  1. that jesus would return by 1874. when jesus failed to appear, the witnesses claimedthat it was an unseen, spiritual return.

  They have made no false prophesies as they are not prophets and studying the Bible and calculating dates is not prophesying.

  And just because one or a few teachers did that in the past does not make it right to label JWs as having made false predictions.

  So yes, when JWs come to your door, they have the truth. Because truth is not about having all the understandings about the future.

  Smiddy,

  You are taking away the responsibility of the person and the family for handling the situation, and making it all about the elders and the organization. What people should do is to forget the elders at all. Handle it how they should handle it. What the organization or elders do or don't do is not allowing anyone to be abused.

  "possibly they knew of the alleged offenders prior behavior and concealed it."

  And what would this have to do with being responsible for abuse? People need to be careful and protect themselves regardless. Blaming them takes that responsibility off of the individuals.
  

  " the governing body of JWs that set up the policies of the religion, including the two witness rule that regularly allows many sex abusers around the world, stay active, because there was only one witness to the abuse."

  Why was there only one witness to the abuse?

  The religion, like most others, teach against child abuse. Any abuse done is because individuals go against those teachings. This two witness rule is to promote truth in accusations. Seeking that truth does not make them responsible.
