  What Do Mormons Really Believe? RE: The Nov. 8, 1995 Awake Magazine

  by D_Rolling_Kearney in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am a member of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints, and i have written a heavily-documented response to the official magazine of the jehovah's witnesses, awake!, that claims to teach what we believe.

  i saw an article from last year's watchtower about a guy who had barely been mormon for very long, and obviously did not know what we believe, who was given this magazine by jw's to show him "the truth.

  " he claims to have proven to himself that it was true from information on the lds church's website.

  What do you mean?! I ALWAYS go to the beach after service and wear long pants and button up shirts while I play a game in the sand with my family! Sometimes I wear button up long sleeve shirts too!

  the wts likes to imply how jws should dress in and outside of the hall.

  you always want to set an example.. so i couldn't help but share this beauty in the january 15th, 2013, study edition of the watchtower.

  i always go to the beach like this!

  end #alert_bark_clipper end #alert_bark_wrapper man jailed in st. lucie county after being accused of repeatedly molesting two sisters for yearsby elliott jonestcpalmposted december 21, 2012 at 11:27 p.m.discussprintaaa place this tag where you want the +1 button to render end #article_header end #section_header end #section_title_wrapper end .inline_bucket end .inline_wrapper fort pierce a 69-year-old man who is accused of repeatedly sexually molesting two sisters during their preteen years said it started because he was lonely.. years later, in september, he called their mother in fort pierce, asking her forgiveness after the oldest girl, now 23, told him she would call police because he was trying to approach her again, according to an arrest affidavit.. the mother confronted the daughter who, according to the affidavit, said donald brown, now of auburndale, fla., had molested the sisters starting when the oldest was 6 years old in a dwelling in georgia.

  that was as her sister, then 2, was asleep in the same room, the report states.. the mother turned to the police and the sisters recently told investigators he molested both of them more than 300 times until the oldest girl was about age 11.. as the investigation concluded this fall, the mother called brown while police listened in.

  investigators quoted him as saying he knew he was wrong.

  So I have to wonder; Did the Elders convince this guy to confess his sins? Also, how the hell did girl catch this perv in bed with her sister.

  This makes me mad and sick!

  The WBT$ does get bashed pretty good in the comments section from people obvioulsly familier with the Org.

  Not the healthiest way (or safest) but definitely the easiest and quickest.

  Google "ECA Stack"

  I have dropped 40 lbs in 3 months twice in my life using this and do it three weeks a year prior to beach season.

  I live a few minutes from Venus and Serena and run into them from time to time. My impression is they are into PR more than the religion. Interestingly, when my daughter asked what Hall they went to Serena answered immediately "Juno Beach" (which would not have been a compulsory answer)

  I guess as long as you are not baptized.....

  On a side note; they both are pretty cool people.

  so i was giving my daughter a hug at bed time last night.

  she stands up at the foot of her bed and wraps her arms around my neck.

  she then asks why i don't serve jehovah anymore.

  Outsmart,

  I remember having the same question asked of me by my kids.

  Dont be too discouraged. It's 5+ years since I have left the organization and while my wife is still active, my kids now know that being part of this religion is an option and more importantly that a person can be very happy (much happier) by "not going to meetings".

  I try to use the JW tactic on them...by "winning them over without a word". It's workingm, but it takes time.

  Anyone in Miami?

  where you're an ex-jw or still a jw, if you live in miami, florida (broward/palm beach county is cool too), i want to hear your story.

  i've already given mine, but i'll tell it again just for the purpose of this thread.. i was researching masturbation because of the fact that the wt makes it out to be such a bad thing despite admitting that it isn't even mentioned in the bible.

  along with that, i was researching "porneia" in general, and then i discovered this site.

  Is the Governing Body overdue to make new appointments?

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm doing some research for a new blog article on the governing body.

  it's in a question-and-answer or "faq" format, and attempts to give simple but well-founded answers to most questions that people could conceivably ask about the governing body.. one thing i noticed when looking at the history of the governing body is that we seem to be in the middle of a lengthy "dry spell" when it comes to making new appointments.. gerrit losch is currently the longest-serving member having been appointed in 1994. however, his appointment came at the end of a 17 year period in which no appointments were made.

  this contrasts notably with the remarkable six-year period between 1971 and 1977 when 15 members were added.. since losch's appointment, 4 members were added in 1999 (herd, lett, pierce and splane) and 2 more recently in 2005 (morris and jackson).. the seven year spell since the last appointments were made has seen the deaths of barber, barr, jaracz, shroeder and sydlik - cutting the number of governing body members almost in half.

  DATA,

  It sounds like the minimal info i got is not dissimilar to the person(s) you are refering to.

  There is no doubt they already know who and how many they are goiong to appoint.

  I have heard from family friend who has vacationed with a GB member that there are a couple "younger" brothers (under 60) being looked at closely. One may currently be in the NorthEast U.S. and the other Latin or South America but definitely spanish speaking. The reason for the delay is that is at least one instance the length of time partaking has not been too long. I posted almost the same comment two years ago so they are obviously still waiting for something.

  From a business point of view it makes a lot of sense. One of the brothers is supposedly very business savy. and a spanish speaking member can only help the only growing segment of this religion
