  according to the november wt study article, there a study lesson about 7 shepherds, and 8 dukes.

  the interesting thing is par 17. it instructs the elders to not question the instrutions they receive during an modern day asyrian attack.

  maybe some kool aid is coming.

  Missionaries to vacate all missionary homes

  by seenitall in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  latest news from a source (missionary in foreign land):.

  no more missionary homes anywhere in the world.. all missionaries presently in missionary homes must vacate.

  must get housing on your own / from the locals.. circuit and district overseers have moved into many of these former missionary homes.. reasons: liability, cost savings, real estate to be sold or used for other purposes.. needless to say, many of these longtime servants are very unsettled.

  I was always under the impression these folks were as poor as dirt. How are they going to afford their own housing?

  South Park does a whole skit on jeHovahs Witnesses

  by Praise YaHuWaH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  watchin the season premier of south park, something i don't normally do but just happened to catch and glad i did.

  they totally had two jw women go to one of the characters "butters" house and gave him a magazine about some sort of destruction scene that was on the cover representing armageddon.

  yet again showing that the ancient pagen name of hovah they worship really does live up to the name defined as ruin according to strongs 1943. wife and i laughed our butts off... even the world knows how the "wbtsociety" is so fear focused on destruction rather than the real love that our savior said should be our true walk and focus... .

  The long road of the VW Bus coming to an end

  by designs in

  1. social
  2. current

  i didn't even realize the vw bus was still in production but vw in brazil still produces the iconic bus, production will end in december.. many of us had vw buses, surf wagons et al, i had a 1959 'camper' special we would take on surfing trips to baja california and camp on the beaches down by san quentin.. i took my 'magic bus ride' with four jw buddies just before my arrest over the vietnam draft.

  we rode up the california coast to big sur.

  with the side door open and feet hanging out we traveled the coastal route from los angeles through santa barbara, pismo beach, san simeon, big sur and monterey ending in san francisco where i hopped a flight back to los angeles for my arraignment.. enjoy-.

  I have never been a big VW fan but I did own a 1972 Van about 20 years ago. It was a lot of fun and great on gas. Fortunately mine was not gutless. A brother had built the 1600cc engine and bored it out to 1641cc with duel carbs and bigger exaust. It didnt do too bad. Would love to get a 21 window micro bus.

  2. friends

  i just read an opening post by el_ guapo about a one-eyed blind illegal immigrant that was staying at jw's houses because she couldn't find any work.

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/262454/1/news-that-tugged-at-my-heart-strings.

  In Oregon it was like Designs said: Dont ask, Dont tell. There was even an elder in one area congregation that was here illeagally. And no way is this an "official" policy. Like alot of the Watchtowers "policies" it's all under the table.

  By either of those definitions they are still prophets. They do claim to speak for God and they do try and predict the future and both of these things, they claim, are inspired by God and only they have this privilege given to them.

  Do Jehovah Witnesses permit victims of child sex abuse to speak at their home Kingdom Hall or in the Kingdom Hall where they were abused, following settlement agreements?

  by Sol Reform in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  or is that considered gossip in the religion?

  the archdiocese of dubuque which recently completed structured settlement agreements with several persons who reported that they were sexually abused as minors by priests of the archdiocese; has committed itself to several activities, to raise awareness of the effects of sexual abuse of minors and to invite victims to come forward and seek help.

  1. the archdiocese will continue to publish periodic notices in the archdiocesan newspaper, the witness, and in several secular papers inviting persons who as minors were sexually abused by church personnel to come forward and encouraging them to contact law enforcement personnel.. throughout the archdiocese there are about 3,000 icons (sacred depictions) of st. raphael the archangel with information on how to reach the archdiocesan victim assistance coordinators.

  They try like hell to sweep it all under the rug and you're asking if they speak about it in the Hall? Thats the last place they would talk about it. They want the sheep to believe it doesnt happen and it's all a Satanic conspiracy.

  Their very name tells the world they think they are prophets. Jehovah tells them to say something and they say it. If that something is about the future (which much of what they preach is) then they are prophets. What do they think "Witness's of Jehovah" means?

  "Jehovah will kill your baby if YOU give it a blood transfusion"

  by wallsofjericho in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "as christian witnesses of jehovah, her parents, darrell and rhoda labrenz, correctly viewed blood transfusion as a violation of god's law and thus opposed it.

  they were concerned about their baby's eternal welfare, for everlasting life is the prospect only of those adhering to god's laws.

  " yearbook 1975 p.. explain to me how giving my baby blood would make the baby accountable?.

  Why not? If you believe the bible, God killed King David's baby to punish David for what he did. God is not above punishing innocents to make the guilty pay.

  here is an interesting link that compares the bible's teachings versus the koran's teachings.

  http://members.ozemail.com.au/~dbates/koran0.htm.

  is there a way to know for sure which out of the two books is more credible?

  I'd rather read a Louis Lamour.
