  by Severus in

  2. beliefs

  i heard this from a pioneer recently.

  "this bird flu will be the next major pestilence.

  even if it wipes out millions, that would be a good thing because jehovah will be able to resurrect them.

  I heard this from a pioneer recently. She said:

  "This bird flu will be the next major pestilence. Even if it wipes out millions, that would be a good thing because Jehovah will be able to resurrect them. If they survived a few more years until the day of judgment they would be destroyed without the resurrection hope."

  A 'Screw the Publishers' GB Strategy?

  2. scandals

  while a man might hold a particular office, there is no guarantee that his personal faith will continue.

  there are a number of older.

  brothers , at bethel and elsewhere, who quietly hold to a 'it's a good life' view of the 'truth' - as opposed to the blind zombie-faith of.

  limp cut and paste rehash

  Excellent phrase Meta! Take the Bible Teach book as case in point. Publishers are falling over themselves extolling the incredible features of the new book.

  Those "features" are:

  • Pretty pictures
  • Simplified material

  Thanks for sharing your exit tales.

  The way you talk, it seems that most JW's wish they could admit it was all a sham on their parts.

  Are we surrounded by actors, though no one admits its a play?

  It is common to have the paperback books rebound in spiral bounding (such as the new What Does the Bible Really Teach? book).

  Also there are downloadable study guides, not published by the WTBTS for the TMS. These usually print in letter size.

  Any of this relate to what you saw?

  Regarding my question above, the WT answers:

  ***

  w92 9/15 p. 12 Jehovah Forgives in a Large Way ***

  19

  Even if a judicial committee disfellowships an unrepentant sinner, he has not necessarily committed the unforgivable sin. To be forgiven and reinstated, however, he must humbly obey God’s laws, produce fruits befitting repentance, and apply to the elders for reinstatement. After a fornicator was disfellowshipped from the congregation in ancient Corinth, Paul wrote: "This rebuke given by the majority is sufficient for such a man, so that, on the contrary now, you should kindly forgive and comfort him, that somehow such a man may not be swallowed up by his being overly sad. Therefore I exhort you to confirm your love for him."—2 Corinthians 2:6-8; 1 Corinthians 5:1-13.

  14 Paul had reproved the Corinthians because they allowed an immoral man to remain in the congregation. This must have delighted Satan, for reproach fell upon the congregation for tolerating "such fornication as is not even among the nations." Eventually, the wrongdoer was disfellowshipped. (1 Corinthians 5:1-5, 11-13) The man later repented.

  Am I missing something, where in the Bible is it stated that the man repented??
  
  

  (1 Corinthians 5:1-13) Actually fornication is reported among YOU, and such fornication as is not even among the nations, that a wife a certain [man] has of [his] father. 2 And are YOU puffed up, and did YOU not rather mourn, in order that the man that committed this deed should be taken away from YOUR midst? 3 I for one, although absent in body but present in spirit, have certainly judged already, as if I were present, the man who has worked in such a way as this, 4 that in the name of our Lord Jesus, when YOU are gathered together, also my spirit with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5 YOU hand such a man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, in order that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord. 6 YOUR [cause for] boasting is not fine. Do YOU not know that a little leaven ferments the whole lump? 7 Clear away the old leaven, that YOU may be a new lump, according as YOU are free from ferment. For, indeed, Christ our passover has been sacrificed. 8 Consequently let us keep the festival, not with old leaven, neither with leaven of badness and wickedness, but with unfermented cakes of sincerity and truth. 9 In my letter I wrote YOU to quit mixing in company with fornicators, 10 not [meaning] entirely with the fornicators of this world or the greedy persons and extortioners or idolaters. Otherwise, YOU would actually have to get out of the world. 11 But now I am writing YOU to quit mixing in company with anyone called a brother that is a fornicator or a greedy person or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkard or an extortioner, not even eating with such a man. 12 For what do I have to do with judging those outside? Do YOU not judge those inside, 13 while God judges those outside? "Remove the wicked [man] from among yourselves."

  ok, so remember this guy: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/104535/1.ashx ?.

  brief overview... black college professor / lawyer, recently came in the truth... yadda yadda.. well, i worked with him out in service, and we were talking about mormanism, and he said that he knew mormanism was wrong because they once taught that black folks couldnt go to heaven, but then they magically changed and said they could.

  so then i asked him how he felt about the society's old stance on black people.
