Relaxed rules toward oral sex?
by Socrateswannabe in

these people won't state anything definitively, but here's an excerpt from the study article entitled "making christian marriage a success", in the august, 2016 watchtower.

it does make me wonder.. although the bible does not provide specific rules about the kinds and limits of love play that might be associated with natural, sexual intimacy, it mentions displays of affection.

(song of solomon 1:2; 2:6) christian marriage partners should treat each other with tenderness.

and not retro-active.....wasn't proof of being directed by god admitting to mistakes ?.....previous decision was reversed not even 6 months later...but if you were a victim of the wrong direction then - tough

Boeing 747s and Other Misunderstandings about Evolution
by cofty in

2. beliefs
perhaps the most common misunderstanding that prevents people from grasping evolution is complexity.. we see it almost daily on the forum where people mention dna or the eye or any of a multititude of examples and ask how it could have arose "by blind chance"?.

whenever you see a reference to chance and complexity it is obvious the person hasn't yet grasped the basics of the theory.

chance is only one part of the process.

we had a letter read at the end of the wt study today announcing twickenham for our convention, 22-24 august 2014. no amex next year then.. there was also a letter read saying not to book hotels except from the wts list as this would help make it cheaper for the majority as the wts will have greater bargaining power!.

they are also hoping to book buses and trains.. what a scam.. george.

Red light camera ticket

my last speeding ticket was in tennessee in 1993, was going 15 miles over the speed limit and got a $60 ticket.

that was my last one.. three weeks ago did not make a complete stop making a right turn here in california and got nailed with a "camera ticket".. damage to my wallet ...$540 and have to take an 8hour class.. i guess california is in need of a lot of cash.. do you have traffic cameras where you live or are they illegal?.

Conversation I had with Elder, "It's Ok To Lie If they don't deserve the truth!" Who created this dogma?
by AuntConnie in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
what is the origin of "theocratic warfare" and jehovah's witnesses being able to freely life if they feel it's for the "greater good" of the watchtower?

i asked the elder if jesus christ ever lied, he said "yes, jesus refused to answer questions from people!

" can you show me where this is in the bible?
tijkmo

if you look up lie or falsehood in the insight books..it tells you the truth should only be told to those who are deserving of it...or something
someone with access to this could probably scan/post it
