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???

anyone ever seen pictures or the actual houses and cars the gb own?
im wondering if the live a middle class lifestyle or more like high society?
as with the scribes and pharisees, there are a number of unwritten rules that witnesses are supposed to follow.

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

just learned today direct from my beloved daughter that she has been abused between 5 and 12 years old by 2 brothers (her own cousins) and 1 family "friend".
she has attempted suicide a few days ago.
luckily she is living and she is not physically injured.

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.)
right- we've been thinking about this.. .
it seems that most da letters are: doctrinal, personal, emotional or or major issues such un etc .
and completely understandably so..but.. .
