  there has been something that has been bothering the "engineer" part of me for a lonnnng while.

  we have heard it from the platform time and time again about what we should be doing as "servants of god".

  so, today i finally sat down and calculated if it is even possible to do all of the study, meetings, field service, secular work, school, etc, etc.

  DISPROVE THE FAITHFUL AND DISCREET SLAVE

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the most ingrained things for long time witnesses to change their viewpoint on is the fds.

  i believe that due to the constant information at the meetings, conventions, publications and elder's talks, the doctrine of the faithful slave is pounded into everyone's heads.once a person sees the misunderstanding of this teaching, it's easier to critically see the wrongness of the watchtower.

  can you suggest easier, less complicated rebuttals to this doctrine?

  Is the death penalty effective in usa?

  by haujobbz in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  im asking this because lately in the uk 2 girls were murdered that were only 12 yrs old and now 59% population of the uk want the death penalty reinstated.. i assume you already have the death penalty in the usa, but do you think it is effective reducing 1st degree murder and potential child molesters,would you like to see the death penalty removed in the united states or not.. i wonder if the death penalty will be reinstated in the uk what do you think, personally i dont think it will maybe the politicians are afraid they wont get as many votes.

  To spank or not to spank?

  by Nowhere in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i had a conversation with an active witness from the usa lately.

  and when talking about child upbringing he stated that some children need a spank sometimes.

  of course i was upset because of that, and i didn't thought witnesses was that stupid.
