  So Jw's are allowed to celebrate baby showers, but not birthdays?? huh??

  by nolongerconfused in

  perhaps, one of the most arrogant and contradicting behaviors of jdubs.... what is the difference between celebrating a baby shower and a birthday?...they both have ancient origins, from pagan people, including egyptians and the greek.... have you guys noticed any other hypocrite celebrations/behaviors jdubs engage in?.

  my whole life we were taught have bad and evil "christendom" was for trying to pacify hiter during his rise to power, and how different we were for standing up to him!.

  then i found about the letter dated june 25,1933 from rutherford and his writting team to hiter.

  ok i posted about a month ago asking for advice on writing a letter to my former congregation regarding my children.

  my ex husband still goes to our old hall and although we have joint custody he is raising them to be good little jws on his time.

  2. beliefs

  the word out of bethel is of a mass purge the likes of the 1980's.. there's also possible public reproofs handed out for irregular ones.. .

  the scriptures they are using to support this:.

  the very ones keeping away from you will perish.

  i was just reading and going through the newest elder book.

  in chapter 5 there is a list of offenses that would warrant a judicial committee.

  one of them is continued, unnecessary contact with disfellowshipped nonrelatives.

  Help needed: JC standards/questions for "Drunkenness"

  by respectful_observer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm hoping those of you in the jwn community may be able to help me out.

  an acquaintance (of legal drinking age) may soon be sitting for jc under the charge of "drunkenness".. to those of you who have direct experience either serving on a jc, or being the subject of a jc related to the misuse of alcohol:.

  - could you provide a list of questions that were asked of the accused?.

  after two months of terribly abusive emails from my mother telling me that i "am not capable of appreciating true love" and her weird delusions that i have no friends and my life is a mess, i finally cut her off.

  i blocked her email address, and i told her to stop contacting me.

  yes, the jehovah?s witnesses.
