  Waiting on Jehovah

  by Puternut in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there were so many times, when things didn't seem right in the organization or congregation, or when things weren't understood, you were informed : "just wait on jehovah, or in time jehovah will make it right".

  my question becomes obscured with the fact that if in fact the elders are appointed by holy spirit, he would also direct them to make the right decisions in behalf of his congregation right?.

  but if one of the elders felt he would be directed by god, and did things in behalf of his congregation, why would he be called on the carpet?

  Adultery can only happen at night - Scripture to support this statement

  by scrubmaster in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  strong circumstantial evidence, such as pregnancy or evidence (testified to by at least two witnesses) that the accused stayed all night in the same house with a person of .

  the opposite sex (or in the same house with a known homosexual ) under improper circumstances, is acceptable.

  i was told that there is a scriptural principle for the above quote from the "pay attention to the flock book".

  Letter to elders when marriage mate confess adultery

  by scrubmaster in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i understand from talking to some one who had some knowledge of the situation but could not find the reference material , that the society has something in writing which says if a person believes they are scripturally free and that they are willing to stand before jehovah and face the consquences they can get married -- (this in effect leave the elders out of the equation and they can not do anything to you.

  ) does anyone know where this reference can be found -- i need it as soon as possible.

  i can not find it.

  Curiousity about current JW Views on going into churches

  by Brymichmom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been following a thread on another forum where jw's are insisting that it is ok for them to go inside churches for weddings, funerals, etc.

  they say it's quite ok to go inside any church just as long as they don't participate in the service by singing, praying, kneeling...etc...some of them say that they have seen "guest speakers" in churches who came as watchtower representatives.

  when did this ever change?

  Infidelity amongst JWs

  by YellowLab in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  does there seem to be a higher incidence of infidelity amongst the jws?.

  my brother, who is an active jw and ministerial servant, has an elder friend who was recently disfellowshipped for having an affair with another sister in the hall.

  it turns out this sister was divorced a few years earlier from a "worldly" man who had an affair on her.

  What's Wrong With Mother's Day? I Forgot.

  by Swan in

  2. experiences

  okay, maybe i'm getting old or maybe it's because i have been an exjw for going on 10 years now, but i can't remember what's up with jws and mother's day.

  i remember my mother going with another sister to my brother's classroom for some mother's day pageant back in the 60's when we lived in alaska.

  there is also a commandment in the bible about "honor your father and your mother.
