  The legal position of jws.

  .

  if jws r ministers(we r talking about britain here), i understand u r considered self-employed if u r a religious minister, so presumely ucan't claim the dole,presumely when u r self-employed, you have 2 made provision 4 a pension(not sure if that is right).. if some1 assumes that that a jw is a religious minister and that anything they say is confidential,but the jw breaks that confidence, could some1 sue 4 breach of confidence?.

  Simon, Cephas, Peter, Judas, Thomas, Didymus

  2. bible

  this post is in response to peacefulpete's interesting post from my king david thread, which i quote below: .

  leolaia...if you look again at 1cor you'll see peter is not there only an ebionite named cephas is.

  the only reference to "peter" in any of "pauline" works is gal 2:7 and it is an interpolation made for the very reasons being discussed.

  i have found out an odd coincidence between me and the witnesses... .

  i was born on july 30, 1965. exactly seven years earlier - july 30, 1958 - 7,136 men and women were baptized into the jws (the borg had not been named - yet.

  maybe i was fated to study about the witnesses (and talk about it right here.

  Where did the Pleides idea come from?

  by IronGland in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  did rutherford just make it up while drunk one day, or is there an older tradition of naming the pleides god's home?

  the constellation of the seven stars forming the pleiades appears to be the crowning center around which the known systems of the planets revolve.... it has been suggested, and with much weight, that one of the stars of that group is the dwelling place of jehovah and the place of the highest heavens;..... the constellation of the pleiades is a small one compared with others which scientific instruments disclose to the wondering eyes of man.

  but the greatness in size of other stars or planets is small when compared to the pleiades in importance, because the pleiades is the place of the eternal throne of god.. j. f. rutherford, reconciliation, 1928, p. 14. .

  Anybody hear about the new confidential letter sent to bodies of elders in

  by researcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  canada re the freedom of information act.

  when someone moves to a new congregation a letter of introduction is sent.

  usually the elders use this opportunity to list all the negative things about the person or family so they have a black cloud above them for years to come in their new hall.
