  the local hall recently sold some property to the state for a road improvement project that is sorely needed.

  they received about $20,000.

  guess what?

  The last few years I attended meetings, whenever a vote involving money was coming up, by some "coincidence" I always went out to the restroom. I think I managed to miss all the votes! (I was too much a coward to abstain.)

  The GB accepts questions about doctrine!

  by DATA-DOG in

  2. beliefs

  so i'm watching the interview with g-jack and he says that if a question comes up about doctrine, the gb have a meeting.

  so my question is this, who questions anything and how do they submit a question?

  he seems to painting some kind of "democracy" picture for the rc.. he also said that the 7 gb members can't possible know everything about doctrine...wtf???

  To be accurate, having their laundry and cleaning done and their meals provided are not special perks gIven to the GB but are done for all at Bethel.

  Name "UNWRITTEN" Rules That JWs Are Supposed To Follow

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as with the scribes and pharisees, there are a number of unwritten rules that witnesses are supposed to follow.

  here's a couple : "worldly" kids in society depictions are shown quite often wearing their baseball caps backwards.

  jehovah's witness youths would not want to imitate that "look".

  If somebody at work flirts with you, you should quit your job. (That was from a circuit overseer who is no longer a circuit overseer.)

  Watchtower Rules?

  it really amazes me when people say that the watchtower rules or controls people.

  i heard on the news that the vatican issued a statement calling for a .

  boycott of davinci code movie and book.

  To be clear, missing meetings, not going in service, and not reporting field service are not grounds for disfellowshiping. And I've never heard of grounds that would apply to dress and grooming, but there may be some. (An "I Love Raymond" or "Jw.net Rocks" t-shirt might not go over too well.)

  our old jw friend who is about to shun us says,there's nothing in the bible that contradicts itself?.
