  Are these PETA people nuts?

  by Thunder Rider in

  the link below is to the peta sight and a page aimed at kids.

  i heard about it on the radio yesterday, but didn't believe it to be true.

  i'm all for treating animals humanely but if this is what happens to your judgement when you cut all meat out of your diet, then i'mgoing out for a burger.

  the watchtower society seems to have the power of re-writing history!

  i got most of these quotes from http://quotes.jehovahswitnesses.com.

  *** live forever book (1982 edition), page 179 ***.

  Theocratic War Strategy & "Phenomenal ...

  by Scully in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i called my mother yesterday and for some reason, the conversation drifted into dub-talk.

  she was upset that some of my siblings were still at home, not concerned about looking for jobs or pursuing some kind of job training (the acceptable term for "going back to school", apparently).

  none of these siblings are baptized, so pioneering is not even an issue.. anyway, i suggested that maybe they were discouraged because people around them (dubs, in particular) were harping on the idea that armageddon was "just around the corner" and that it seemed like a waste of time to pursue those activities.

  Restrictions

  by ozziepost in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there is a practice among jws of applying restrictions to individual members.

  it forms part of the judicial process and, although having no scriptural basis, is applied automatically to erring ones who are judged to be repentant.. so, for a period of time, usually up to 12 months, the individual is not allowed to share in commenting at meetings, offering public prayer, appearing on the platform in congregation meetings, or in serving as an auxiliary pioneer.. as with any man-made law, difficulties arise from this practice.

  although no announcement has been made to the congregation, individual congregation members can have their curiosity aroused.. for example, take the real-life situation where a sole parent has been placed on restrictions by a judicial committee.
