Older Man??
by avidbiblereader inthe scriptures uses the term "older man" as a position of authority in the congregation to help and shepherd the flock.
in the jw they will typically use a man of the age of 30 and use as a reference jesus getting baptized and the beginning of his work on earth.. how many here feel the "older man" should in deed be an older man because of the seriousness of the responsibility, because of experience and did any of you feel as an elder or because of an younger elder you were not treated properly because of youth and a lack of experience or they lacked the example of an older man?.

Anyone thought of this?
by wozadummy inwhen one of the 144k dies they are spoken of , especially in jw literature ,as having finished their earthly course.
why don't they say they've gone to heaven?
could it be that they don't want to commit to saying this in case it is later found that the person has committed a serious sin they did'nt confess to while alive?

truth seekers vs. truth knowers.......Interesting thought
by PaNiCAtTaCk inpeople should be "truth-seekers", not "truth-knowers".
it's the truth-knowers that cause problems b/c they think everyone is wrong and that promotes intolerance.
whereas truth-seekers are open minded and always ready to learn new things abt the many different truths out there.

JW WEDDINGS - MORAL?
by wozadummy injust an observation - how many couples do you think have not had any form of sexual conduct before getting married in a kingdom hall?.
i think not that many, and when i have alluded to this with young couples over the years they usually look as guilty as hell if this is hinted at.. so if this is the case how can god be blessing their marraiges and in turn the organization if this is common?.
