  am reading coc at the moment, about half way through.

  just finished reading some of the details of what happened in malawi and mexico years ago.

  which reminded me that in the early 80's a very well known elder in the country i was then living in went to new york as he had discovered all the discrepencies between what had happened in malawi and in mexico and wanted to know what the gb had to say about it.

  I felt the same, I had no idea that had gone on at all. I remember being told to pray for our brothers in Malawi as a kid, never heard a word about Mexico... Is the whole situation verifyable from any other outside sources? The reason I ask is cos I clearly can't bring it up in conversation without revealing my source, which would land me in hot water!

  is it okay to play as a jehovah's witness?

  I think that SOME ( a small minority )of people are influenced negatively by games like this, but the vast majority of people recognise that it's just a game and would never transfer the actions from the game into real life. Same with telly.

  Christmas Field Service

  by NeverKnew in

  1. watchtower

  on another thread, i read that a few adherents may be traveling (cough-cough) to other cities and wouldn't be able to make field service on christmas day.. what is the likelihood that going out on christmas will be encouraged at the weekend services at the khs?

  ...or do most halls stay neutral on this?

  given what i've read on this forum, i have the impression that disrespecting a day of other's celebration wouldn't be discouraged which annoys the heck out of me..

  Ever considered joining The Church of the Latter-day Dude?

  by J. Hofer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  come join the slowest-growing religion in the world dudeism.

  an ancient philosophy that preaches non-preachiness, practices as little as possible, and above all, uh...lost my train of thought there.

  anyway, if youd like to find peace on earth and goodwill, man, well help you get started.

  Nice 'proof' in the "did moses write the bible" video. Apparently the bible says he did. No quotes or references. Pathetic.

  Elder for ten years or so. Stepped down (hate that term, implies an elevated status) a few years ago, I too didn't realise it would lead to fading and posting on an APOSTATE website! Still in though. Boooo.

  A bona fide Circuit Overseer endorses jw.net!

  though he is a typical wt slave, we are like david and jonathan.. in my most intimate conversation with him, i asked him:.

  how do you manage serving an organization built on inherent contradictions?.

  he said: organization helps people to grow spiritual, like any other religious organizations do.

  Disciplinary Actions

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  during a disciplinary procedure, what would the response be if you wanted representation?

  an advocate?.

  why don't they have a group of unbiased men, a prosecutor to present the case against you and an advocate that would represent the accused?

  The answer to that would be that the hs wrote the bible and the bible is used throughout to judge repentance. The real question should be "did the hs inspire the elders manual" as this is FAR more often referenced than the bible in my experience...
