two witness rule
by luffy inwhat exactly is the two witness rule regarding the witnesses stance on child abuse?..am i right in thinking that this means that unless there are two witnesses to the child abuse, witnesses are forbidden to go to the police..surely this cannot be so twisted.

divorce
by luffy inhow would somebody argue the jw doctrine that a divorced person cannot remarry a jw unless "scripturally" divorced..ive looked through the bible scriptures on this and find it hard to argue the jw interpretation although i would be really grateful for any arguments against the jw interpretation on this that could hold water!!

first Bible/book! study
by luffy inhaving posted here in the past, and having gained much useful and appreciated advise, my ex and i are still in contact, and stuck in as many of you warned, a deadlock.
he hoping i will come round to the witness way of "thinking" and i hoping that he will wake up and smell the roses!..
i am reluctant to give up on the relationship, and feel that as he approaches the two year mark since being baptised as a witness, he is beginning to show cracks and is weakening in his stance.

Bible study
by luffy inwas just curious as to what requirements a witness need to posses in order to conduct/give a bible study...are only those of a certain standing within the cong eligible?, do they have to be of a certain age etc..also, what does a first study entail and what could a person expect to hear..must be pretty well thought out and convincing in order to maintain a persons interest long enough to agree on a second visit/study..

Another ?!
by luffy inim in the process of trying to get my boyfriend to see sense, as however much i try i can see no sense in the jws teachings as "christian"..ive got little over a week before he's baptised, but im not giving up that easily, especially after reading the stories on here..he says he wants to rescue me from a burning house..i say i want to rescue him from the hang mans noose..anyway was discussing with him earlier and i know i read somewhere in the bible something along the lines that we should let no man teach us, and read no other material that has been changed, apart from the bible, as god will teach us all things..i just cant remember the exact wording or where in the bible i read it..does someone know where that was...im still looking lol!
