  2 WITNESSES NEEDED

  by crawdad2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here's why children are suffering.... dueteronomy 19:15 says...........no single witness should rise up against a man respecting any error or a sin, in the case of any sin that he may commit.. at the mouth of two witnesses or at the mouth of three witnesses the matter should stand good.

  16. in case a witness scheming violence should rise up against a man to bring a charge of revolt against him, 17. the two men that have the dispute must also stand before jehovah, before the priests and the judges, who will be acting in those days.

  18 and the judges must search thoroughly, and if the witness is a false charge against his brother.

  Yeah I saw that article as an excuse for their stuffups.

  They won't admit they were wrong on this issue tho...and telling us that our memories are worth sh*t...oh there's gunna be a war over that one!

  When the apostles tried to shoo away the children, Jesus embraced them whole and said woe to any who would stumble the little ones as they are the inheritance....

  Why aren't the wt taking in his example. Just as Dakota said, if they can ignore certain scriptures...like sacrificing bulls etc...why oh why are they sticking to the two witness policy.

  Jesus said we aren't under the ten commandments anymor, but under two laws only and really the commandments are a beefed out version of:

  'You must love Jehovah with your whole heart, soul and mind' and 'You must love your neighbour as yourself'. Now did he mention anything about a law that only really governed and protected you from getting ripped off?

  New WTS Rules for elders & Child Abusers

  by Cappuccino OC in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  per my uncle who is an elder:.

  anyone who has a criminal record can't have any privileges from now on per the wts.. my conclusions:.

  so what about the child molesters who have abused children who have been disfellowshiped, pardoned, or who have sincerely repented of their wrongdoingsbut the authorities were not notified?.

  I had a discussion with an elder in my cong re this topic. He upheld this policy completely. It was not a very Jesus-like attitude. If Jesus could find ways to get around the law out of mercy and pity's sake...why not the elders?

  I said...so in my case I can't do anything and he said if you have two witnesses you can and I said...yeah but most survivors/thrivers don't have any other witness, that's why they're so alone in their suffering. He didn't care!

  And then the wt tells me my memories aren't reliable because they are 'repressed' and could have been suggested to me! BAH! Find that article on their official site and have a fit like I did!

  Warned about Internet use again!

  by VioletAnai in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so...the km for may has an outline re internet use.

  once again we are admonished to stay away as some sites are deceptive in that they say they promote jw's...but be aware!!

  they actually slander...slander the witnesses.. i can only assume they mean this board and the silentlambs site first and foremost - so if the elders weren't aware of these sites...they are now...the rest of us (barr me) are sitting there enthralled... .

  TO ALL UPITTY JEHOVAH'S WITNESS

  by FRUSR8TD in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i posted this on another thread but i know it got buried....i thought it was an important that the jw's on this board hear this.. do you think that bill or any silentlamb would have to resort to such public measures if the wtbts had listened in the first place.

  think about it...these people are putting a lot on the line...do you think they would be going to such lengths to be heard if the wtbts had responded to there more "discreat" pleas for help?

  you are only seeing the tip of the iceburg...they have been trying to get the wtbs to not just hear them but listen to them for years.

  I couldn't help but feel the bile rise just a little....

  But I know where they are coming from - this site can very much put doubt in your mind re your faith and make you THINK....

  Thanx for helping me THINK...it's helped me to analyze my situation and the world around me.

  Oh btw: now they are discouraging us from getting to know our fellow brothers and sisters worldwide...as we can neva be too sure who's who. We should be content to know our local brothers and sisters and spend time with them, encouraging one another. Hmm....doesn't sound like international brotherhood to me. And what if your local hall doesn't want to associate with you until you're clean and have dedicated yourself to Jehovah publicly? Where's the loving assocation for them.
