The test presented to Adam was simple. It did not involve a mystery or a series of promblems. It involved obedience. And unfortunately Adam failed. Jesus on the other hand faced much more than Adam ever did.

10Jesus vs. Adam-Your Thoughts Are Needed
by Mister Biggs inthis goes out to anyone (jw's and x-jw's).. i was just wondering last night about how jw's teach that jesus was the last adam; how he balanced the scales because he was perfect; how only the sacrifice of a perfect human body can redeem mankind from its sinful state.
(of course, other religion's may teach these things, too.
however, i've only lived my life as a jw so i can't speak on behalf of other faith's).. anyway, jesus came to earth and passed the tests that satan threw at him.

Jehovahs Witnesses face the same issues, the same problems that everyone else does. By applying Bible principals they, often have a safeguard that many in the world do not. However, the fact remains that they are not immune. What exactly did he say was "the wrong move"? If she is calling and calling, and he is not answering the phone, perhaps there is something emotionally wrong with this person.
If the elder led on another sister, he was wrong. However blame must also be put on the sister for she was married. How exactly did he act like he was interested? -

My experience at the Memorial...
by Richie inthe memorial was held last night at a community center about 15 km away from the kingdom hall.
as a df'd person, i always feel more uncomfortable if the memorial is held at a location other than the regular kh, as i would otherwise know my way around where to sit in obscurity, as well as arriving just as the meeting is about to start.. well, i decided to come a little bit earlier (although not too early) - then walked inside the community center and suddenly i was standing in front of the wide entrance where practically everyone was gathered in order to get a perfect view of who were entering the hall.
needless to say, i felt like an alien, someone who did not exist at all, yet when i gazed into the eyes of many of the ones i know, i noticed that they were secretly looking at me and then quickly turned their heads away from me.

I am aware of situation similiar to yours. The elders have no grounds
for disfellowshipping if someone denies that they have committed a gross sin. What can be taken away are privileges, as this can bring
reproach upon the congergation. Unless I missed a literature article with the needed Biblical references, you stand corrected. -

Although the events in the middle East are related to the end of
this system. I do not wish to turn this into an issue regarding this and Biblical prophecy. My question is as follows. Besides the initial war last century over this territory, has there ever been this much terrorist activity and tension? I ask this to the older member of this board who may have a better memory than myself. -

Although your daughter may be living with somebody, she probably
has been asked by the older men of the congergation if she has committed fornication. If she has answered no, there is nothing they can do. -

by little_lamb_on_a_hill ini just stumbled onto this website whilst messing about on the internet and i've taken exception to quite a lot of what i've seen here.
incase you think i'm some irate jehovah's witness idiot who's been offended by the terrible blasphemy that he's read on here, i'm not.
i was raised a jw, but now i'm not one.. first of all, given the url, i thought this website was in some way affiliated with the jehovah's witness organization, whereas in reality it seems from the posts i've read that most people here are either former jehovah's witnesses or soon-to-be former jehovah's witnesses.

ldh:
I had stated before that I would not respond to you becuase of your
anger (as can be seen by your phrase of "kick his ass with it). However I must answer your question. You are right in concluding that I am/was Discuss but not NYT. I would imagine that Simon deactivated my account becuase NYT created the name of 2discuss. -

Detective,
If by name calling you mean bad association, you would have to take
this up with Saint Paul, for he used the term, and Jehovahs Witnesses simply report what they believe is found in the Bible. This is also true regarding those that will be destroyed at Armageddon. However, Witness acknowledge that only Jehovah can judge. -

Reborn
You stated that I was back to posting insults and avoiding the issue at hand. Can you please document this? I don't claim to have omnitpotent wisdom. As you stated that I am not worthy of your time, I will refrain from responding to you in the future. However, You did not bring up any sort of doctrine issue. The answer to your "issue" is in the quote itself.
