  To StiLLinTruth

  by LoneWolf in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is only the second post that i've made on this board, so i hope that by posting this a second time, that i'm not violating some rule that i'm unaware of.

  if i am, then i apologize to all.. however, this answer to stillintruth is on the fourth page of his last post, and i want to make sure he and as many others as possible can see it.. you will note that i sign my real name to the bottom of this.

  that is meant as an open challenge to any and/or all to do something about it.

  have you noticed the holier than though attitute is very similar in fred hall and stillinthetruth?.

  at least you know had some brains and some bible knowledge.

  he spoke with a forked tongue and not his ass.. we all know that dear old freddie is sufferring from premature alzheimers but this stillinthetruth character must be a stooge.

  Why do they ask us to stand up?

  by ozziepost in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have a question.

  at the beginning of each meeting at the kingdom hall, the chairman invites us to find our seats and be seated.. after we have got ourselves comfortable and all is (reasonably) quiet, the meeting chairman then invites us to stand and sing the opening song.. does anyone else find this a bit strange?

  why are we invited to sit, then before we've done anything else, we're invited to stand.. just seems odd to me.

  Freddie I'm still waiting

  freddie i asked you explain some of the cr#p you regurgitated earlier.. i'm still waiting for your answers.

  aren't you able to defend your god the watchtower corporation against some simple questions?.

  i'm sure if you went to the elders and told them some interested person you met on the internet wanted answers they would help you to make a good witness for the organisation.. why not ask them fred after all they are there to help you.

  Restrictions

  by ozziepost in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there is a practice among jws of applying restrictions to individual members.

  it forms part of the judicial process and, although having no scriptural basis, is applied automatically to erring ones who are judged to be repentant.. so, for a period of time, usually up to 12 months, the individual is not allowed to share in commenting at meetings, offering public prayer, appearing on the platform in congregation meetings, or in serving as an auxiliary pioneer.. as with any man-made law, difficulties arise from this practice.

  although no announcement has been made to the congregation, individual congregation members can have their curiosity aroused.. for example, take the real-life situation where a sole parent has been placed on restrictions by a judicial committee.
