Disfellowshipping smokers is an outrage!
by yaddayadda inhow does the society scripturally justify taking the ultra-harsh measure of disfellowshipping and shunning persons who merely enjoy smoking a few cigarettes a day?
in what way is mild smoking a gross sin that is deserving of such a harsh punishment?
how on earth does the society make the connection between the scriptural exhortation to 'cleanse ourselves of every defilement of flesh and spirit' (2 cor 7:1 & 2) to taking the extremely harsh measure of denying a smoker the right to any contact with their fellow congregation members, friends, and jw family?

Is the WTS saying Armageddon is 'delaying' - Matt 24:45-47?
by yaddayadda inyes, it appears they are.
there seems to be a trend lately for the watchtower society to increasingly refer to habakkuk 2:3 and indicate that we are now in a period of 'delay' before armageddon.
for the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it keeps panting on to the end, and it will not tell a lie.

Some important questions re the child abuse settlement
by yaddayadda inare there more cases presently in the pipeline or has this settlement cleared them all out?
has this settlement opened the litigation floodgates to many more claims and is the society trembling in its boots over this?
or is the society safe for a few more years?

Anyone else end up on a JC after losing their virginity?
by yaddayadda inyep, i did.
i got 'privately reproved' after rushing to the elders to confess my sin after losing my virginity via fornicating.
i think all that shame and guilt and legalism that flowed on from that experience must've f*cked me up a bit, scuse the pun.
