  Can a JWs Elder be "removed" if his wife is known as the congregation "gossip"?

  by booker-t in

  i remember in my kingdom hall one of our 5 elders bro.

  "smith" had a gossipy wife sis "smith" who would be known to gossip from the time she enter the hall until she left.

  i don't know how she never was reproved or counseled for her gossiping.

  well that all depends on what the gossip is doesn't it?

  If it's about who is having a fight with who or made up shit then probably not.

  But if the wife tells the truth about pedaphiles in the hall you can bet he will be...

  Even though they have been rather more accomodating than western elder bodies, the result will be the same.

  They want to silence you. Brooklyn will have told them to silence you or DF. They get the same directives as all the others, just find it culturely harder to apply perhaps.

  You stop what you are doing, they win, keep going and you will be disfellowshipped. Rest assured, they do not think you have a point. They will not agree with you and at the final jump will DF you for disobeying the Governing Body F&DS.

  yeah...one of my old facebook play with them names is there.

  Sad and funny how they had to add somes sexual preference,

  more funny was the ''involved in a scam''...oh my, if only they knew how many 'ggod' JWs are involved in get rich quick scams!

  the list only makes me want to go back in and have more fun with them.

  WT Elders school: Look how cute that kindly old elder is! Too bad the Talmud says we have to stone our victim anyway

  by sir82 in

  more haphazard thougths on the recently concluded elder school..... a big chunk of time was spent on a video which traced a judicial case, all the way from the confession to the elders through the decision to disfellowship the guy.. here is a very brief synopsis of the video:.

  tearful late-teen or early-20's publisher confesses to 2 elders that he committed fornication with a "worldly girl" who is now preganant and wants to marry him.

  the elders give him some "homework" to do prior to his judcial committee - read psalm 51 and an old wt article.

  Did Life Originate By Chance or Intelligent Design? Or is There a Third Option?

  by JimmyPage in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when discussing the argument of how life originated the wt always boils it down to being chance vs. intelligent design.. no scientist in their right mind believes it happened by chance.

  nor do most scientists believe that life is a product of god.. there is a solution that the wt completely ignores and that is... natural selection.. how many here who believe in a creator have honestly examined what natural selection really is?.

  (i've been reading "the god delusion" by richard dawkins and was very surprised when i came to the chapter that actually mentions the watchtower society's arguments for intelligent design.

  Yes there IS a third option that makes far more sense...(to me)

  IT DOES NOT MATTER!

  We are here, more time and effort should be spent working out far more complex and important social issues than arguing about how we got here and when.

  Job...less

  it was about 6 weeks or so ago that i excitedly posted that i had gotten a job that i had been interviewed for.

  in the weeks that have passed i have been in contact trying to find out about my paper work - i still have not gotten a letter of appointment, an offer or a contract.

  i have expressed concern at their lack of professionalism but that falls on deaf ears.

  Are They Cynically Shutting Down The Organization?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've raised this idea before but recent events seem to support it.

  changes in the watchtower may be guided by more than a need for cash flow: they may simply be liquidating/shutting it down as discreetly as possible.. of course, this doesn't mean they stop working on their upstate ny country club - but it could mean that the throrough going exposure and disproof of their beliefs on the internet, when it emerged, took many of them by surprize, as it did many of us!

  after awhile, they generally gave up trying to make any sense of their doctrines - and coupled with cash flow issues - moved towards a quiet retreat.. take a look at a few things:.

  It would come at no great surprise if a good many religions are controlled by outsiders Mr Flipper.

  Frederick Douglas quote speaks to GB's program for JW's

  it is perfectly well understood...that to educate a slave is to make him discontented.

  with slavery, and to invest him with a power which shall open to him the treasures of freedom;.

  and since the object of the slave- holder is to maintain complete authority over his slave, his.

  We all know that can be applied to how the GB treat the real slaves of the corporation...

  Is there an application TO the GB since they also call themselves the Faithful SLAVE?
