Revelation 6:6
by rassillon ini am confused, which interpretation of the "olive oil and the wine" did the holy spirit give to the "faithfull slave"?
did the holy spirit forget to correct the reasoning book?
i think jesus and jehovah must be getting confused as to what they are currently teaching the fds, or maybe bethel hasn't paid the bill on that big red phone that jesus calls them on?

Re: priests - Additionally, if a matter is serious, and/or in the best interest of the community, it is likely a priest will advise the confessor themself to go to the authorities. Making restitution where able and appropriate is also part of the concept.

The faithlessness here
by grissom6471 init is a shame that people are here portraying themselves as jehovah's witness as having some knowlege or going to meetings.
what exists here is a complete lack of faith in anything.
and a great amount of stupidity.

The statements of "I'm a former Witness and people don't talk to me". Well Duh!!!. Why would anyone want to.
Yeah, maybe they haven't earned it, eh .--------------------------------------------------------------
We have lots of faith - we can tell you're a witness without you telling us - it's a spirit discerning sort of thing.

whatever you do DO NOT LEAVE THE HOUSE.
Have to agree with that -

The p.o. sits back in his chair and unclenches his hands. "Good...good...good, he's gonna be just fine", he says to my wife. .

Would this mean that Child Molesters that are Catholics are not reported to the police when this sin is confessed to a priest? If true, it sounds to me that the Catholic Church is worse than the WTS.
A priest cannot divulge any confession to anyone, under pain of death - not allowed. It can be a difficult thing to understand - that is, of a formal confession for forgiveness (as sacrament) - consider those most removed from God, it is as far out as someone can reach.
But if a priest comes to know it, outside that circumstance then yeah - report it / stop it. I believe that without revealing the confession, they may carefully use the information to protect people, but not at the disclosure of the confessor and their sin. There is however a grey area - one certainly doesn't have absolution from an intention of future sin.

Catholic confession is offered - some people feel very removed from God - it's not a mandatory thing. It's normal for spirit quenching type stuff - it's normal that people want to tell it, and get it off their chest before feeling done with it.
and there's no public announcement - even for mass murder - the confession is sacred

As I wote in another post,
It's interesting that a literal interpretation of the above is such a core belief of breakaway and newer religious groups, particularly the newer American evangelical and born again groups - who commonly demonise the older more established church while celebrating their own "more knowledgeable" interpretations. Despite any scripture to the contrary, they insist on a literal 1000yrs as a fundamental truth - the mellenialism belief is a strange insistence, not unlike "the new system" idea of jwism. When you want something to that degree, does it simply become a 'truth'?

Some have interpreted Chrestus as a misspelling of Christus, and thus as a possible reference to Jesus. However, Suetonius implies that the person in question was in Rome in 54, making the likelihood that he is writing about Jesus very slim. The term Chrestus also appears in some later texts applied to Jesus, indicating that such a spelling error is not unthinkable. However, Chrestus is itself a common name in Rome, meaning good or useful. It was a particularly common name for slaves, and, indeed, the passage deals with a slave revolt. As such, this passage is not held by the vast majority of scholars to be a reference to Jesus.

As I was saying - they can simply be parallel notions of the time - though the term, being a common word was understandiingly utilised with christians, as they celebrated those traits
