  Two witness rule?

  by ThomasCovenant in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just downloaded the 'pay attention to the flock' pdf.

  thanks.. noticed the instruction on page 108.. ''if there are two or three witnesses to the same kind of wrongdoing but each one is witness to a separate incident, their testimony can be considered.

  such evidence may be used to establish guilt, but it is preferable to have two witnesses to the same occurence of wrongdoing.''.

  i posted here a couple of months ago, or less.

  my home computer crashed and they cracked down on messageboard sites at my work, so the work laptop was out.

  plus, i just felt emotionally burned out and just didn't want to think about it anymore.

  Dear Dad

  a father was walking past his son's bedroom and saw, to his surprise, that the room was tidy and the bed made.

  then he noticed an envelope propped up on the pillow with the word 'dad' on the outside.

  with a trembling hand he opened the envelope and read the enclosed letter: .

  as a jehovahs witness, many individuals became touchy when questions directed .

  toward the watchtower society did not fit the popular conception, thought or ideal.

  for the large army of our valued sisters!!!

  a large army one lazy summer day i sought the shade of an oak tree, and just as i began to doze, something awakened me.

  it sounded kind of like a drum; the ground below shook, too.

  And so I found my place in line, no time left to debate

  yup you're not allowed to think!

  there is a poem in the place where im working at the moment - "what if the prophet mohammed came to vist" that is pretty bad, I'm sure I heard a similar one about how you would change if Jesus was living with you.

  Use Catholic Abuse Settle to Attack JWs re:KN #37 & JW Abuse Cases

  by Seeker4 in

  i was thinking earlier of how the recent mega-million dollar catholic settlement in la is an ideal opportunity, in letters to the editor in local newspapers, to highlight the hypocrisy of the witnesses in how they have handled similar abuse cases.

  a couple of points that might be useful to make this applicable anywhere: .

  1. in the kingdom news #37 tract distributed around the country last fall.

  hmmm, well I don't know.

  Maybe when you take into account that any corporate apology never seems that sincere, maybe we're just cynical BUT on the other hand the fact that "they didn't have to apologise in pubilc" makes it a good PR exercise and we should be cynical.

  My father "apologised" to me but only after the elders went against my specific request and told him too, so it wasn't an apology, but it was good PR for him with the elders.
