  by Santiago in

  for the pass two years i have been successful in quietly fading away from the org., my immediate members family are active.

  recently, i overheard my father discussing the topic of the public talk and he said that the speaker mention that the secretaries of the congregation were responsible for having copies of the health directives of all the member of the congregation and that the congregation would have blood on their hand if someone died because they were force to have a blood transfusion.

  has anyone else heard anything like this?

  The Loaded Language of the WT - Conscience Matter

  by jgnat in

  when a contract is drafted, it starts with a glossary of terms, so that both parties know exactly what they are agreeing to.

  the wts, however, has created it's own terms with special meanings, which completely change the meaning of their direction.

  a consequence of this, is that to the uniniaiated, their materials appear fairly innocuous.

  my elder friend stops by my work every so often and recently has asked, "am i going to see you at the meeting tonight, min?

  " i have said now on 3 occasions, "not tonight......" the other day another elder friend called me out of the blue and asked me how things are going.he said,.he'd like to come by my work and talk a little.

  22there has befallen them the thing spoken of in the true proverb, the dog turns back to his own vomit, and, the sow is washed only to wallow again in the mire..

  i remember when i was going over my baptismal questions the elder spouted off this scripture to me.. looking back at it i wonder how could he be such a moron!

  Disagreements between elders

  by Gadget in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there seems to be a lot of local differences between what witnesses are allowed to do and what they aren't.

  i'm in a situation where elders in one area are incouraging a course of action, and elders in another area are totally against it, saying it is a disfellowshipping offence.

  anybody been in a situation where elders disagreed like this?

  Woke up this morning with a question on my mind.

  by El Kabong in

  i don't know why i woke up this morning with this question on my mind.

  why would god make the angels first, which are superior to humans, then go and make something inferior, like humans second.

  i would figure that the angels would be like 1.0 then the humans would be revision 2.0 or something like that.
