  The Hebrews and Stoning

  by Clam in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it seems from the bible that stoning was common punishment at one time, although i use punishment in the loosest sense of the word.

  if within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbors wife.

  deuteronomy 22:23-24 nab).

  Do Some JW Elders Secretly Consider It Possible That They Are Wrong?

  by West70 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i recently heard this "experience" from a now "christian" former jw, which has not previously been publicly communicated.

  this jw then moved back to their home area (no jw relatives), and simply continued living their already-in-progress non-jw life.

  inevitably, this exjw christian started bumping into their jw former associates.

  responding to an old post of mine regarding jw funerals, farkel wrote:.

  "but here is the problem: i have a tape recording of governing body member lyman swingle's funeral.

  it was five-odd minutes of bible discussion about the hope of the resurrection for second class wt citizens and immortality in heaven for first-class wt citizens, and a full forty minutes of eulogy and anecdotes about swingle.".
