"In all the congregations let the women keep silent."
by senoj53 inat 1 corinthians 14:33-35 paul writes;.
"in all the congregations let the women keep silent, for it is not permitted for them to speak, but let them be in subjection, even as the law says.".
if in fulfilment of joel's prophecy god's spirit was poured out on both men and women at pentecost 33 ce giving them the ability to prophesy, why did paul say that women should keep silent?.

CYA tactics in BOE Letters - verrrry interrrestingk!
by Scully inletter to elders, dated march 24, 2000. in reporting cases when individuals have disassociated themselves by engaging in nonneutral activities, the following direction should be followed.. the implication of their action should be reported in harmony with scriptural guidelines.
therefore, when completing the s-77 form, please use such expressions as "violated neutrality" or "took a nonneutral course.
" isaiah 2:4 and john 15:17-19 support these descriptions, as pointed out on page 101 of pay attention to yourselves and to all the flock.

2007- Witness Meetings= Why can't women wear pants/trousers??
by Witness 007 inwhen my mum went to her first meeting she was dressed to perfection, she wore nice ladies dress trouser/pants.
the witness stuying with her told her it was "not apropriate" to wear this to the meeting...in 2006 i was in a congregation where a sister would put a skirt on over her pants she wore to work.
it looked weird, but the pants ban still is in force 2007.

Awake 78 9/8 p.29 " Garner Ted Armstrong well-known television spokesman for the World Wide church of God, was recently taken off the air and excomunicated by his Father, Herbert Armstrong...reportedly been earning $85,000 a year, claims that the "whole empire is crumbling" due to lavish spending by the leadership, as well as by divisions and fear among the members."
Watch 79 5/15 p.28 "When dissident members recently charged Herbert Armstrong's Worldwide Church of God with mishandling funds, the California superior court put church finances in temporary recievership. Complaints centred on huge sums of money spent entertaining prominant world politicans and the lavish lifestyle and huge salary of top church officals. Armstrong's second in command defended money spent on Jet leasings, very expensive hotels, resturants and gifts for foreign dignitaries, saying: "We had a commision to spread the gospel." ...the lawer admits:"In proclaiming the word of Jesus church officals spend enormous somes of money." Why? "Meeting with Prime Ministers and other world leaders, you bring him something and maybe it's from Gucci's...you don't take them out to Mcdonald's..."

The Bible says taking blood in an emergecy is O.K 1Sam 14:24-46 and more!!
by Witness 007 insaul commands his troops not to eat anything during a battle with the philistines.
jonathan his son, takes a little honey and breaks the oath.
meanwhile, the starving troops verse 32: "and the people began darting greedily at the spoil, and taking sheep, slaughtering them on the earth, and the people fell to eating along with the blood.

Saul commands his troops not to eat anything during a battle with the Philistines. Jonathan his son, takes a little honey and breaks the oath. Meanwhile, the starving troops verse 32: "And the people began darting greedily at the spoil, and taking sheep, slaughtering them on the earth, and the people fell to EATING ALONG WITH THE BLOOD." Saul tells the people not to do this, and builds an Altar to Jehovah.......... WHY WEREN'T THEY KILLED ACORDING TO THE LAW???
Levitcus 17:10 "As for the man...EATS ANY SORT OF BLOOD...CUT HIM OFF FROM AMONGST HIS PEOPLE." Why did'nt Saul kill all his men? Why wasn't Jehovah displeased? Verse 37 says Jehovah "did not answer him on that day." Saul finds out Jehovah is displeased because JONATHAN ATE THE HONEY- NOT BECAUSE OF THE MEN EATING BLOOD????? So he plans to kill his son to appease Jehovah but the people stop him???!!!
what if a Jew was out hunting and was starving but couldn't find anything to kill, bleed, and eat. If he found an animal already dead but not bled can he eat it? YES!!! Leviticus 17:13-15 "Hunting ...he must pour the blood out...As for any man who eats a body already dead or something torn by a wild beast...{punishment for eating un-bled meat?}....he must wash his garments and bathe in water and be unclean until evening." But is this verse REALY talking about an emergency? Duet 14:21 "You must not eat any body already dead {footnote: any animal found dead} To the alien resident...give it...or their maybe a selling of it to a foreigner..." This is what is done normally with "found meat" let some non-Jew eat it. In emergencies you can eat it but be unclean till evening. Not too bad a punishment!
Acts 15:20 "My decision is not to trouble those from the nations turning to God...no further burden to you...keep abstaining from things 1.sacrificed to idols. 2.From blood 3.Things strangled 4.Fornication. {the 1950 N.W translation says keep yourself "free" from blood.} This was not given as a law for Christians. what about murder, lying, stealing etc. This was not to stumble non-Jews who were converting. As a Witness when was the last time you bought food at a Buddists store/resturant where a little idol sits in the corner with a food offering. This is "food sacrificed to idols" sin number 1.! When was the last time you showed your blood card to the butcher or deli and said "no blood." Like me you probably never thought about it. Sin 2+3. "blood" and "things strangled." Isn't this just as serious as sin 4. fornication? Why so casual today? 1 Corinth. chapter 8 Food sacrificed to Idols is a consience matter...what about blood?? Why are Witness Doctors and Nurses allowed to administer Transfusions if it a sin like fornication??

Joseph Tkach took over in 1986 like Rutherford he had some plans of his own! He reversed ALL major Armstrong doctrines and threw out all their founders books! He wanted to join mainstream Christianity.
Doctrines changed: There is no Trinity, God is One, the Holy spirit is his "force" Jesus his Son. / {Now there is a Trinity 3 in 1 God}
:Birthdays, Christmas, Easter are Pagan and not followed. / {Now Okay}
:Jesus died on a stake / {No a Cross}
Many other doctrines were thrown out basically turning this group into a mainstream Christian group. The result? Christian churches rejoice calling it a "miricle." The religion almost disolves into a hundred groups. Lack of funds {Tithing 10% of wages to church} causes the church to sell all properties and airplanes, publishing and magazine sales drop to record low. This is why the Watchtower won't change it's policy on Blood...it would shatter the Organisation.

Even in the Congs. this pressure is used. My best friend quit Pioneering before me to get some more education/better job. and my Pioneer partner was "Gonna have a serious chat with him." I thought it was his own private bissness. People put the pressure on and call it "Encouragement."
