And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?
Matthew 5:47
i'd like to brainstorm something with the rest of you.
this summer at the regional conventions we all know by now that a talk on shunning is going to be given.
we all know what that talk will likely point to.
And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?
Matthew 5:47
i know we are all anonymous for our own personal reasons, so i understand if you would rather not say.
but if you don't mind sharing that would be cool.
i currently live in georgia, usa.
searching on google maps found that the kingdom hall where ray franz was disfellowshipped and participated in gadsden was sold recently for 7th day christian fellowship .does anyone know about it?
is it a file burning ?
i think that a person that is called before a judicial committee can use a recording of the trial and force the elder to view it because of jackson's statement to the commission and get off.
i think mr jackson has said enough about people who wish to leave the witnesses as not being harassed, hunted down, or spied upon and such to get the elder off your back and give them a "good witness".. also to be highlighted is the fact that jackson has stated under oath that the governing body is willing to reexamine doctrine and policy in order to conform to the law,.
i think many statements by gb jackson to the commission can be used by some one clever and thus escape the label of apostate and be unhindered to a large extent of speaking to others.. .
The transcript isn't up yet but when it is published it will be good to go through it and highlight all the comments that can be used to support this.
you will publish the transcript here ?
that's good, because many like me do not understand English and are interested in the subject . With transcription is easy to translate .

thanks for answering. I sent an email to you .
if you had to pinpoint the time or experience that finally made you open your eyes, what would it be?.
i think for me it was the time i saw my dad shun his brother who he had not seen in decades just because he was a da'ed jw.
i thought to my self "no way jesus would do that.
I have read CoC and ISCF a long time ago . For years I managed to accommodate this information and to refute it in my mind, in speeches and through texts on the Internet . But recently , the request wide-open way of donations , the intrusion into intimate aspects , the restriction to freedom of conscience, and the doctrinal speculation , have ground my belief in the good motivation of the GB members.

the wt study of may stated that no one is exempt from doing fieldservice.does that mean the gb also does fieldservice?and dont give me any if that "no they only give us insrtuction bullshit" because that would mean not everything applies to everyone, and thats never the case in the jw organisation!
when Geoffrey Jackson visited Brazil for the last time he went out in field service . There is a picture of him , but I do not know post here . Interestingly, in Brazil we do not use suit and tie in field service , and he dressed like us. If we are one people, because these differences? And if there is room for differences because there are charges?

hello,.
i am currently in a discussion with a jw about the governing body.. i have read alot of articles regarding it, however whenever i bring up what i have read, i am refuted with scripture, such as acts 15, where they say there was a governing body, who sent out elders and men etc.. does anyone have a website that i may not know of, that has answers to what they refute with?
or any help here or good thought provoking questions to respond with would be much appreciated.. thank you kindly.
I would ask:
if God used a GB in the first century , who was part of that body in later centuries ? The Catholic church? If not why? Because of wrong teachings ? And the Watchtower did not teach anything wrong too?
