'Clergy' and 'Ordained Ministers'

by OrphanCrow in

what i can't seem reconcile are the concepts of 'clergy' and 'ordained minister'.. the wts has consistently won legal battles, specifically in cases involving military exemption, by making the claim that each and every baptized jw is an 'ordained minister'.

and, they bolstered this label with the assertion that 'we do not have a clergy class'.

so, why is that different now in the sex abuse trials that happening right now?

Thank you for your valuable input, Viviane. Your posts contributed so much information to this subject.
It is encouraging when the subject of how laws impact child abuse cases is treated respectfully. Next time you wander in drunk to a discussion, do you mind wiping up the booze off the floor before you leave the room?
Thank you.

Oh, heavens no dear, not with that rigid attitude.

In any event, my input was exactly spot on, nor did you criticize cappytan for responding OT to me. It's seems your ire is misplaced and misguided.

In summary, lighten up, Francis.

Question for people who believe in Evolution

by ttte36 in

though school i did religious education and my teacher who was religious ruled out evolution because humans are the only creatures who do not want to die, can anyone who understands evolution explain this?.

im 99% on to the theory of evolution, this is just the last stumbling block..

Is this from something or are you having wine? Because it's making me laugh either way. I might just start answering my unreasonable relatives this way.

First of all, it's reasonable and ridiculosu answer to southern baptists religious family.

Second, I am a whisky kind iof gal, buster.

Just had a thiught

by Jonathan Drake in

the catholic church skews there numbers by counting as catholics even those who no longer attend and may not even profess to be catholic.

do jehovah's witness do something similar or even the same thing?

they seem to be very much in favor of going inactive imo.

Viviane

Yes, because Jesus. Drink!
