OUTLAW still got you up at night 1009 ?
Nope.
But his statement that I am full of shit, was simply offensive and beneath the belt.
People laugh about it. No comments from moderators.
It says much about the level of this board.

Chemical warfare in Syria-can man be saved?

Although it is terrible what currently happens in Syria, the news about chemical warfare seems to be a hoax.
- Minutes after the attack people run around in the same street. Some are unharmed?
- Video's are apparently posted a day before the alleged attack.
- An attack near Damascus shortly after the arrival of UN-inspectors seems to be pretty stupid.
- The Syrian army was allready making progress in this region with conventional weapons. Why use chemical weapons instead?

Outlaw is a cynical figure that enjoys to belittle others.
Sometimes it's funny indeed.
But he also has offended me deeply.

Shunning for inactive ones?
by frogonmytoe ini visited my sister in a small town in the midst of the country, the town has a population of 3,000 and there's about 70 in the cong.
anyway, there was a local needs talk a few months ago about associating with family members who didn't live under your roof and no longer went to meetings.
one family of an elder dad and three sons (one an elder too, the others have stopped going) and a daughter (still going but married a 'worldly') are quite prominent and one half of a typical congregational feud.

An elder could be removed if the congregation helds him responsable for not educating his family well; 'if indeed any man does not know how to preside over his own household, how will he take care of God’s congregation?' (1 Tim. 3:5). But that does not account for removing his wife from pioneering. So I have the same idea as Blondie:
As to the one living with his girlfriend but not baptized....again considered bad association. Removing an elder over it....only if the son were living at home with his girlfriend.
Does one of the sons still at his parents home while living an 'inmoral' life?

@1009: Are you from the Netherlands also? A coincidence that you know him.
Yup, from Amsterdam. Though his father was a friend, I never had any contact with Asher.

Oh my, I know this guy. His father, a great Bible student, was a very good friend of mine.
Asher... talks often about the end time. Home, with Mireille. Not at his work, the IT department at KLM. "Last week a friend of ours died. When many of such sad things happen one after the other, we say: 'We are not so far away'." They smile.
A friend dies. Conclusion: the end is so not far away ('they smile'). Great logic.

What Congregation should you attend?
by Quarterback incan someone, please, help me in finding this?.
i remember in a kingdom ministry, written quite some time, ago.. it mentioned that it was upto the individual family to determine what congregation they would attend, based on their own circumstances.
they wouldn't be subjected to determined boundaries.. does anyone remember that one, and where it exists?.

Translated from the Dutch version:
*** km 2/11 page 7 Question box ***
What advantages does it have to visit the congregration of the area in which we live ? Circumstances vary from person to person, and factors such as the worldly work, an unbelieving spouse and transport would affect ones final decision in this regard. However, it has obvious advantages, both spiritually and in other areas, if someone is connected to the congregation which belongs to the area in which he lives... We are confident that family heads will meditate prayerfully on the issue and will consider all the factors involved to determine what is best for the mental and physical well-being of their families. - 1 Tim. 5:8.*** Km 91/5 page 7 Question box ***
While there may be some exceptions - because of transport problems, times of worldly work or the need for assistance - it is in general best to visit the congregation in the area where we live...
By working humbly within the limits of the arrangements we will be demonstrating the Kingdom interests in the first place to be (Luke 16:10).So while it is clearly discouraged to visit another congregation, the km 2/11 clearly says that family heads should make a decision, based on their circumstances.
Note that a personal preference will not be appreciated in general. In practice I've seen a lot of JW visiting other congregations without problems. Brothers will not get any 'privileges' though.

The Truth about Eve...... is there more to the story, and has it been hidden by religion ?
by *lost* ini get the feeling that there is more to the eve story than we are aware of.. if we look at the patriachal religions, they are very 'anti-woman'.
is this based on their corruption of the bible story.. .
yes, i think there is more to the story of eve, and our the 'origins' than we think.. father god, mother goddess.. .

Most animal species are 'highly-patriarchal'.
Are they too influenced by eastern cultures?
I think it is just the nature of the specie. -

rebel8But abstaining from blood, is not a medical advice. Incorrect.
If you wish to educate yourself, read this article and verify the wt literature quotes.Their primary motivation is based on their understanding of the Bible.
Meanwhile they evidently have misquoted medical literature to support their view.
