jehovahs witnesses two-witness rule is applied by elders when a witness member accuses another member of a sin, even if that sin is a criminal act.

now this is embarrassing.. after being cold in the truth for many, many years, and getting back some 2 years ago, my wife and i, decided to auxiliary pioneer last year during the memorial campaign.
we were quite impressed that we made the 30 hrs.. last month, we decide to do it again.
after handing in our application forms, and being approved, our service overseer asks me, "how many hours are you going to do?".
Nothing like a : "Do just what you are able to " Campaign - and just have a great time out there !

poopie : sing him a song: Lett it Be
When I find myself in times of trouble
Uncle Stephen comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, lett it be
And in my hour of darkness
He is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, lett it be
Lett it be, lett it be
Lett it be, lett it be
Whisper words of wisdom, lett it be
And when the broken-hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, lett it be
For though they may be parted
There is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, lett it be
Lett it be, lett it be
Lett it be, lett it be

this question is known to be posed by jws to other jws as an acid test of loyalty.
i'm not the first to notice what i'm about to point out and comment accordingly, but today i felt compelled to add a short article on my blog highlighting the new language that governing body member geoffrey jackson supplies as a response.
a person who honestly hesitates to respond with a robust "yes!
You guys are fast !
And the Sequel?
In Search of A Proper Job?
it is reported that elder kevin bowditch was so upset at the grilling he received at the arc that he has traveled to austin, texas to prepare for any future encounters with angus stewart.. we see from various stages of the interrogation his increasing anguish.
he is reported as saying in private, '.. that's never going to happen again.
i think i was hung up and left out to dry by the governing body.
Mebbe he gonna Jackson................................. Sing-a-long - The words are quite apt !

34 Q. Is it not the case that had Jesus been asked about
35 a case of sexual abuse, he may have referred back to this
36 part of Deuteronomy and said that it's not required to have
37 two witnesses?
38 A. I certainly would like to ask Jesus that, and I can't
39 at the moment, I hope to in the future. But that's
40 a hypothetical question which, if we had an answer, then we
41 could support what you said.

i can't help thinking that there is something essentially wrong with gj's new description of the role of the gibbering biddies as guardians of the doctrines..
guardians immediately take on a role of authority, (dont ever forget who is in charge!
) guardians outside of the legal sense of adoptive parent has another resonance, it sounds like the inhuman bullies in some dystopian novel about oppressive religious politics.
i used to visit this site about ten years ago.
i haven't come her in a long time.
i have just recently started talking to a family member who is leaving the jws and i wanted to know what are the best sites available these days for finding out all the topics of information - failed prophecy, 1975, rutherford's drinking, russells tombstone - you know all of that kind of stuff.. back in the day there used to be a site run by a norwegian i think called kent.
