  Are JWs becoming more militant?

  by Vidqun in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after their courtcase in norway going wrong, splane actually warns lawmakers that they will be in big trouble if they don't change their ways.

  he's referring to the preaching work, which has nothing to do with the case.

  it's all about their treatment of ex-jws.

  No, I don't think so.

  The JWs have always been militant.

  Peaceful, but militant.

  Prediction: no more changes for a long while

  by slimboyfat in

  i’ve noticed a pattern where things don’t go the way i expect them to go and/or whenever i realise there is a trend and, i mentally adjust for the idea that the trend will continue, the trend stops in its tracks.

  so on that basis, and given many people, including myself, and active jws, have been asking ‘what changes will the governing body make next?’ perhaps the (disappointing) answer is: ‘nothing much for a while to come’.

  maybe they’ve made the changes they want for now, and will wait a while and see how it’s received.

  Hmm, not sure about this.

  If you look at its history, the Org is dynamic, pretty much chopping and changing all the time.

  It's how they attract new members, and keep some of the old members happy ('we got new light!', etc.).

  But I definitely see them buttoning down the hatches and holding tight for while.

  Is there really a Bible rule against sex without marriage?

  by Halcon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  regarding the poster from jw headquarters, who claimed that the gb would eventually loosen the rules regarding sex.

  the question is, is there really a bible rule explicitly prohibiting sex without marriage?

  because this would be the only possible reason why loosening those rules would even come up in a discussion.

  I thought the Bible was pretty clear on this.

  Doesn't the apostle Paul say that Christians should be a husband of one wife?

  The implication is sex outside of marriage is wrong ...

  Here is a photo of the Pitons in St Lucia.

  I went there in 2001 with my dad. We knew a British family of St Lucian origin, and they knew a guy on the island who owned apartments.

  Thoughts on Likely Upcoming Changes in the Org.

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am thinking that the "ten year plan" that some have spoken of is the most likely scenario.

  the org.

  has to both attract new members and retain as many existing ones as possible.. so i think they will let the recent changes "bed in" for a while, maybe a year ?

  They might get *new light on blood transfusions being a conscience matter.

  * Probably legal advice to cover their backsides.

  The first rule of beard club...

  by GrreatTeacher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ...is you don't start growing a beard in the spring!

  you start growing it in the fall, keep your chin warm in the winter, and then shave it off for warm weather.

  at least that's how it works in my household and in the northern hemisphere where the gb are.. i have the sneaking suspicion that there is going to be a steep learning curve for many.. will they know to trim it along their jawbone properly?
