Did you have a favorite pub . . .

by compound complex in

jw
friends

publication, that is?.

i just found all scripture is inspired of god and beneficial in storage.

i enjoyed studying it, as well as make sure of all things, hold fast to what is fine.. our thinking has changed, of course, but, back then, did you have a wt publication you especially liked?.

on another forum, a user posted that their partner is being hauled before a jc for asking questions and, that the jc will go ahead regardless if in attendance or not.. the post does not say what questions were being asked.

another user responded with - possibly viewed as 'brazen conduct'.

here is the link to jw.org - brazen conduct: https://www.jw.org/en/publications/books/bible-glossary/brazen-conduct/.

Richard O is such a faithful follower of men - a real 'Star' ! Maybe he has been misunderstood by most here ?

Once again Richard OIiver [bok-drol] seems to have gone off on a tangent 180 deg out of phase - [The consummate Apologist]

The man clearly stated : "The intention was NOT to try to overthrow the JC etc etc but just to place a final statement on record as a 6 decade life hooked onto this cult now terminates ! " ----- FINIS

Are people free to leaving the Witnesses, and shunning.

by ThomasCovenant in

is it true, as bro jackson testified to the australian royal commission, that people can leave the religion freely?.

in my own case, yes.

i just stopped going and was never announced as ''no longer one of jw's''.

AFRIKANMAN

My situation same as AlanV - Faded but was totally shunned .....

Then went on a e-mailing campaign re the First ARC and overlapping Generation etc - Mailing directly into Bethel and to local hounders and now have received my " loving provision from Jehovah" invitation to meet in the back-room - to lovingly be stoned !

Have involved Attorney etc - wait to see their next move - which will probably be a DF-ing anyway.

ESL Teaching in Russia by JWs

by OrphanCrow in

a while back, i had stumbled on some information about the jws infiltrating russia and china by using the esl teaching networks.

my son teaches english in china so i found these forum posts especially interesting.. when it comes to researching about teaching esl in foreign countries, the forums are your most valuable resource.

i had considered doing it - back in another life...going somewhere and teaching english.

AFRIKANMAN

They most definitely have gone to China under the guise of teaching - especially English. I happen to know Bethelites from South Africa who are there now for exactly this purpose. They have been trained in how to unobtrusively integrate into the local society and start "networks" of close friendships. One group are teaching at a University there - on a salary [tax free of their home country too]

My new answer to an annoying question we have all been asked.

by doubtfull1799 in

well new to me anyway, i'm sure someone smarter than me has thought of this before.

the next time i get asked the perennial (and tired old) question: “but you do believe that the gb are god’s channel of communication, the organisation he is using, don’t you?” or some variation thereof, i am going to reply with two verses and reason as follows:.

the matter to be established: have the gb of jehovah’s witnesses received divine appointment to act as god’s representatives and channel of communication on earth?.

AFRIKANMAN

My answer: " The reply our beloved brother Geoffrey Jackson gave to a similar question at the ARC is precisely my belief on this matter at the present time ! FINIS "

Q: "And what is that ...precisely?"

My Answer: "Go and read the ARC transcript relating to his testimony!"

Who can explain why the "Two Witness" rule is wrong, in the simplest term?

by DATA-DOG in

with all the legalese being tossed around, and the expert manipulation on the part of the wtbts, who can explain why the "two witness" is being perverted by the wtbts?

i don't care if you're a bible believer and want to approach this from a biblical standpoint, or if you simply use logic and reason.

how would you explain this subject to a j-dub, or even a non-dub?.

AFRIKANMAN

LTPF = "3.) But let us not forget this important thing. Sure, the org needs two witnesses, but that's to perform their own internal judicial trial process. They should still inform the authorities even if they can't move forward internally. IF the authorities find the perp guilty THEN they can move forward internally. How hard is that?!"

Precisely !

And both Dorks just could not get it could they .......................

IICSA child sex abuse inquiry public hearings under way

by ZAPPA-ESQUE in

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-39099778.

will this enquiry eventually also be looking at the wtbts?

the independent inquiry was set up after the death of dj jimmy savile in 2011 when hundreds of people came forward to say he had abused them as children.. the hearings are taking place at the international dispute resolution centre in central london, with the first phase concerning australia expected to last 10 days..

AFRIKANMAN

When I watched those "now elderly" victims breakdown when interviewed, the full extent of the damage that the abuse does really hit me very hard ! [BBC Report on Inquiry into the children who were shipped off to Australia].

Interesting cross reference

by Steel in

hebrew 1 8-12 .

but about the son, he says: “god is your throne+ forever and ever, and the scepter of your kingdom is the scepter of uprightness.

you loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness.

Steel You gonna have to be thick-skinned to hang around here unfortunately -

There is a strong tendency on the site to "attack" anyone who does espouse things in a manner you have. Then again there are some truly useful contributors too -

I enjoy the Bohemian nature of this site and the fact that many are so on top of certain things Borg related ...including getting first dibs on stuff coming out of Borgland.

You can also visit Beroean Pickets site - you wont get any rude responses there
