  Anyone recall someone disfellowshipped for gluttony???

  by James Mixon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  gluttony seems to be a sin that jw's like to ignore .there are several scriptures that point out that gluttony is a sin, proverbs 23:20-21 "do not join those who gorge themselves on meat".....also i read somewhere that 1% is the number of disfellowshipped jw's each year......how do prove someone is a glutton and not just a person who love food???

  The seven Deadly sins are those transgressions which are fatal to spiritual progress (how about fatal to your health) ,(1)Pride (2)envy (3) gluttony (4) lust (5) anger (6) greed (7) sloth (the avoidance of physical or spiritual work). One deadly sin would cover all..Stupidity.

  Eating is the only enjoyment for JW's, so I understand.

  All the years as a JW I can not recall a talk on gluttony (1971-1987), i guess masturbation is a more serious sin....

  Thanks ip1692 for posting Why Pastors stay away from preaching on gluttony,LOL...

  What religions/organizations aren't a cult?

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so we've already established that most religions can be classified as high control groups, we can name the wbts, church of scientology, lds, etc.

  the list goes on and on.

  but are there any religions or organizations that aren't classified as a high control group or aren't as bad as the ones i've just mentioned?

  Anyone interested in their ashes on the moon?

  by James Mixon in

  for only $12,500.00 your ashes can be put on the moon or $5,000 for a burial in low-earth orbit, where a travel-shampoo-size urn can spin for years at 17,000 mph until it gradually descends into the white-hot re-entry atmosphere.they hope to have a cemetery on the moon complete with plots and ceremonial adornments..just think every time it's a full moon you look up in the sky and you will always see you love one.

  a thought, you are resurrected on the moon.....

  Wake Me: yes if you are resurrected on the moon do you need a space suit, will you be able to breathe the air, will there be space travel so one can fly back to earth, where can your love ones welcome you back on earth or the moon,who will fly the space ship (surely not a JW)..So you see to be resurrected on the moon can create a lot of problems for JW's....I searched the scriptures last night for an answer, nothing,,,

  Yes there is no way to disprove your services, but a large large photo would be great....Place it on the moon near your grave.
