  yo elders, is there a statue of limitations on "sins"?

  by ?me? in

  i know we have heard about it as regards an elder who has "sinned" and keeps it quiet, he does not have to step down.

  but when it comes to the lowly rank and file, what would you do, or "have " to do if you found out about some actions of a publisher that occurred a few years ago?

  also does a person who leaves the truth and then wants to come back after a number of years have to confess to all the stuff they did when they were out ?

  Why Do Some "JWs" Do This???..........

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i know of some witnesses that haven't go out in service or attended a meeting in years.

  most "new ones" (to them and they could be witnesses for 10 years!

  ) that live in the territory have no clue of these "witnesses".

  not sure if this is the right place for this.... just wondering about this.

  it seems to me that most folks who leave "the truth" tend to go athiest or remain in some type of christianity.. anyone know of (or are) xjws who have gone a different route (i.e.

  eastern religions, neo-pagan, wicca, etc.).

  Have any weird home remedies?

  by free2beme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was comparing notes awhile back with a friend, about some weird home remedies we were raised with and how often they do work.

  what i was wondering, did you have any of these in your family and if so, what were they.

  i will give you a couple of examples of my own.. for a cold, my mom would mix lemon juice, whisky and honey and warm them up and we would drink this as a home made cough syrup.

  The Blood doctrine - A Medical or Scriptural issue?

  by Jourles in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  if you were to ask any witness whether or not the blood doctrine is scripturally or medically based, you would receive the same answer 100% of the time.

  "scripturally, of course.

  there is one component in particular which shows the wts uses medically based information to cement its postion on what is and what is not allowed for a witness to accept.

  Higher Education

  by XBEHERE in

  hello all...just cant stay away from you...hehe .

  at our recent co visit, at the elder/ms meeting where co goes over a branch approved outline with us he spent 10 min on the subheading "avoid snares of pursuing higher education"...something like that, my notes are at home but you get the gist.

  he essentially spent the time bashing university education citing among other things that a full 30% that go to college dont find employment in the field that they studied in.
