2 peter 2.

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?

Class Distinction Within The JW Community?
by Latin assassin from Manhattan in
1. jw

has anyone noticed that jws who appear to be higher up on the 'socio-economic' ladder get special treatment at the kh?

no matter how many khs i've visited, i've noticed that jws who are not well off socially/financially/physically are treated with less respect/dignity than those with a business of their own, or just a higher quality of life.

i've been to many 'gatherings' where jws filter themselves out according to race or socio-economic standing.

"The Practice" Blood and a Jehovahs Witness

tonight channel 7 (abc) 11:00 p.m. pacific time.

tonight on the practice, the attorney's are going to trial to battle against a jehovah's witness who is refusing to allow a daughter (i think it's a daughter) to have a blood transfusion.

they are arguing that the victim is not a jw and the jws are interfering where they do not belong.. i dont know if this is a repeat or not.

just curious here <eg>.

i've heard of plenty of teenagers knock-n-running but that's rather on the dull side.

so what's the funniest bit of slapschtick you've seen or heard of witnesess pulling while getting in the time quota?
