Aussies who enjoy AFL / Sports & JW Involvement. It also happen elsewhere ? Double standards ?
by smiddy3 init is well documented that the jw religion frowns on there members engaging in competitive sports to the extent they discourage school age children in the organization from being a part of competitive sports..gal.5:26. i have commented before on an afl payer in victoria who claims he is a jw who threatened to leave his club and pursue his religious convictions a year or two ago ,of course he didn`t and probably got an increase in his pay/salary.
good on him that`s business,and his business.. i now notice that he is sporting a well kept grown beard another thing that his professed religion frowns upon .i wonder if he still professes to be a jw or if he has left the religion.?.
to my knowledge he was never baptized even though he is in his mid twenties and married to a jw.sister.. jehovah`s witnesses encourage young teens to be baptized and suggest that a jw sister should not look to being yoked with a brother unless he is baptized certainly by the time he is twenty .. if alec rance still professes to be a jehovah`s witness and if he is not baptized while in his mid twenties and sporting a beard, he is not considered a jehovah`s witness by his fellow congregants until he gets baptized and gets rid of his beard.. if the above is correct does his claim to be a jehovah`s witness publicly warrant a disclaimer by the religion he professors because he doesn`t abide by the governing body /faithful & discreet slave class directives of his religion ?.

Rationalizing
by Tiana ini have been looking to see what pimi jdubs feel about the csa when they hear it.i just stumbled upon this.. " in jehovah’s witness congregations, victims, parents, or anyone else, have always been free to report allegations of child sexual abuse to the police.
the troubling reality is that many chose not to do it.
they alerted congregation elders and went no further.

Society Ditches Older Publications
by new boy init has been reported that many of the older publications are being dumped.
the watchtower bible and truck society have a long list of books, pamphlets and brochures that are no longer available either in print or in their data base on their web sight.
of course the reason is that this books have a lot of old information that is incorrect, false prophecies, flip flops and a lot of "new light" that became old light.

First Brexit, is SCOTCH-EXIT next?
by The Fall Guy inmrs. may-hem seems happy to allow the no-deal scenario to go ahead if her deal isn't accepted.. if that scenario occurs, we can expect yet another push for a referendum to vote for scotland's "independence.
" independence would simply mean replacing the overlords of the westminster parliament with a new set of overlords in brussels, because the scottish national party is desperate to join the eu.
"independence" is so liberating!.

This religion is way too restrictive
by Walrus ini need to vent about some stuff that this religion does to just about anyone at this point.
so i was raised in this religion and when i was 12 or 13 i told my mom (and step dad which has made my decision much firmer) that i didn’t want to be a witness because it’s too restrictive.
my mom proceeded to cry and guilt trip her way into ending this conversation.
