  that's wat i heard the other day.

  now you pay fines for your sins.. adultery is a 450 euro's ( for a firsttimer).

  smoking is a 300 -500 euro's sin ( depents on what the blow was).

  last wednesday the question was put 'can unions ordain women as ministers in the sda church?

  the vote was defeated yes 41.35 to no 58.45.. the dutch churches responded quickly saying they won't be changing there policy and will continue to ordain women.. the north american division and the two conferences in california have women pastors that are already ordained.. the sda pastors in china are mostly women.. the internet is running hot with opinions one way or the other.

  here is how millennials feel about there church at this point most are studying at an sda university.

  Steve2,

  The argument with the WO people would be that Paul was man of his time. Remember slavery was allowed in the new testament and slaves were instructed to obey their masters. Cultural norms are different today.

  Worldwide Church of God collapse

  by cog_survivor in

  on my introduction post a few people expressed interest in how the worldwide church of god (wwcg) imploded.

  i think maybe in hopes something similar will happen with the jws.

  i think the jws will also eventually experience a meltdown but probably not in the same way since the power structure was a bit different.

  As I understand it the WWCOG divided into a number of churches all with different beliefs some believing the trinity some not. The WWCOG, SDAs and Jehovahs witnesses are all related from Adventist roots.

  Cog Surviver the Episcopalian church is the sae church as the Anglicans in Australia.

  Some Anglicans are liberal some a very conservative just as every church has a spectrum of opinions.

  Two fingers up because they are so holy

  by oppostate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the two-finger-i'm-so-holy hand gesture is an old mannerism of catholic and orthodox hierarchs.

  it's all over their catholic paintings and scultures, and greek orthodox icons of, jesus too.

  ................................... here then, the holy gesture is adapted for use even by our very own gb members who are trying to appear most holy themselves.. .

  This Adventist minister got a lot of hate mail for posing in jesuit robes and because he was also educated at a jesuit university notice the three fingers that represent the trinity.

  The gesture is actually three fingers to denote the trinity. Count the thumb
