  Why can some question and others not

  by joelbear in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we are not jehovah's witnesses because of a variety of circumstances, but one thing we all share is that we question.. what factors come together to make us questioners?.

  intelligence?

  but i know a lot of very smart non-questioning jehovah's witnesses.. bravery?

  I do not expect perfection. I do expect honesty. I do expect things to make sense and be accurate and consistent if I am expected to make life changing decisions on them.

  I agree with you joel on this one. Of course I must admit that there are some dishonest individuals inside the organization, but hey Jesus had one inside his apostles, so its bound to happen.

  I also expect rules to be followed consistently throughout the tiers of an organization and I do expect people who take on the mantle of "elder" to lead by example.

  Again I agree.

  So what is your biggest problem with the organization? Or what made you leave at first?

  It's called stubborness. Looking into every minute thing in the organization and criticizing it. Expecting perfection from imperfect humans and then trying to tell Jehovah how to deal with it. As if Jehovah needs our input.

  Have you thought of the possibility that she is right? Have you read anything from an unbiased source?

  Don't look for things to criticize so often. That is a JW trait.

  Now this is a funny post. It is not a JW trait, but an apostate trait. People on this board criticize everything from JW to the Bible to Jehovah himself.

  NO FUNERAL FOR THE DISFELLOWSHIPPED?

  by Pureheart in

  how are disfellowshipped people treated when they die?.

  the congregation would generally not be involved.

  the kingdom hall would not be used.

  From what I understand, an elder may give a funeral talk for a disfellowshipped person if the family asked him to. I don't think they would use the kingdom hall, but the talk would be given in the funeral home. Actually, many JW funerals are done at the funeral home and not at the kingdom hall. Anyway, each elder would make their own decision if asked to give a funeral talk.

  i was df'd 6 months ago for smoking cigarettes.

  i really reached out for help but had a hard time breaking the habit.

  maybe i should have been disfellowshipped, according to why it is done.

  What are you whining for? What love did you show your family and friends? You were willing to sacrifice all of them for a damn smoke.

  Justice #20 - Getting Run Over

  justice #20 getting run over.

  jesus said, "woe unto you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites!

  for you tithe mint and anise and cummin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law, justice, and mercy, and faith: but these you ought to have done, and not to have left the other undone.

  I see your point. Did Elder D ever become an elder again?

  Simon: Appointments are made by the Service Department using the recommendation of the local body of elder and the circuit overseer which in turn followed the qualifications that are in the Bible which was inspired by holy spirit.

  We are guided by JesusChrist not the annointed. So even if all annointed were to die, the other sheep are very capable of doing the preaching work worldwide with the help of Jesus and Jehovahs spirit.

  How do we know that you are telling the story accurately?

  Where you involved in any of the commitee meetings? Or did you just hear from someone else what happened? If you were not involved then how can you justly say that it was the wrong thing to do (that is to remove the whole BOE)?
