  The 2 Witness Rule & Adultery

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  isn't it interesting that the watchtower organization does not require 2 witnesses to prove an allegation of adultery.

  if the elders, for example, believe a christian wife who says she's been cheated on, but her husband refuses to acknowledge this to anyone else but her, she can state in writing that her spouse committed adultery and she will be free to remarry if the elders simply believe her!.

  yet, this same rule does not apply to pedophilia!.

  the rules are made up as they see fit because they are in control and you had better just accept it.

  Bingo!

  They do what they want and twist rules to fit their needs.

  Fun family study? Tolerable?

  by Gopher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  was there ever such at thing in jw families, or is this phrase oxymoronic?.

  sometimes the meetings encouraged "variety" in family studies, assigning certain research projects to different family members, or setting up a bible reading as though it were a play.. none of that happened in my family.

  it was just dry question-and-answer.

  I HATED the family study, I was raised an only child and my parents were older and boring!

  Older boring JW parents + boring JW literature = 1 miserable kid.

  Scream when Raped...

  by KW13 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  thought i'd bring this up again, i found it on the watchtower library and thought it was extremely annoying how they can say rubbish like this.. rape has become increasingly common today.

  a major reason seems obvious.

  sex and violence explode from tv and movie screens, from radio, newspapers, magazines and billboards.

  I remember this talk when I was a kid, I was around 11 or 12 years old and kepting shaking my head during the talk, and whispering to my mom that not every woman can scream during the attack, wether it be because the rapist has threatend her life if she does or because she was to scared at the time, my mom just was shushed me. I was mad and thought how unfair this expecation was and absurd the brother was to even have the nerve to get up on stage and give this talk, as a woman I was offended and felt bad for rape victims. This talk was what first set in motion my desire to get away from jw's and rebel.

  A warning would be fair

  by greendawn in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  given the often devastating consequences of disassociation and disfellowshipping isn't it fair that those studying with the jws should be explicitly warned about these precedures in advance so that they know where they walking into?

  so that they would be able to better judge whether they want to become jws and potentially risk losing jw family and friends at some future time?

  how many of you would get baptised into the cult if you really knew about the policies of dfing and shunning?

  They would never "warn" people that they could loose all their JW friends and family if they get df'd, the dubs consider shunning a form of love.

  Suddenly and inexplicably enraged

  by katiekitten in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my mum showed me this e-mail her jw friend had sent her last week.. in it the friend explained how wonderful the magazines are and how they provide food at the proper time because they had recently had an article in about ' being prepared for the unexpected'.

  the article had told them to have a bag packed with emergency stuff in case they ever needed to leave the house in a hurry.

  so they were told to pack dried food, a wallet with important documents in, waterproof clothing etc.. now this, it seems, was pretty relevant because i live in gloucester where were had terrible floods a few weeks ago, and some peoples houses were flooded out, the entire city had its water cut off for a fortnight because the pumping station flooded, and most work places were unable to allow staff in because they were not able to provide flushing toilets or running water.. so my mims friend was totally blown away by how jehovah is so clever - although having dried food and your passport in a waterproof wallet did nothing to help you flush the toilet for a fortnight.. but - now heres to point of this long and rambling story - i suddenly got super angry about this article and its survivialist mentalilty.

  How ethical is it to sow DOUBT in the minds of sincere Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by nicolaou in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we know that we can't always take the direct approach and we know that even a short, reasonable discussion is often out of the question with jw's we may love dearly so we often try to place a little doubt in their minds.

  we want them to start questioning cherished beliefs.. is this fair of us?

  are we placing our our own agendas ahead of their needs?

  The unethical thing to do is keep quiet and allow people to waste their lives, and put themselves and their childrens innocent lives in danger.

  i beleive with muslims voicing their opinions so openly its time for the average joe out there to be informed about sharia law.

  the law they beleive has come from allah and is the most superiour law on the face of the earth today.this issue.

  I see no difference between Islam and JW's they are both willing to inflict pain, torture and death in the name of religion.
