  "Keep yourselves in Gods Love"...JW`s and masturbation video #22

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just looked to see if this video is still on the official jehovah`s witness website "keep yourselves in gods love " ( deaf and sign language # 22 ) and it is.

  notwithstanding whether it is appropiate for signers to be explicit or not, depending on what signage they use, the real question should be, why are the governing body of jehovah`s witnesses so concerned that their members are masturbating or not.it is not an issue in the bible .why are they delving into something that quite frankly does not concern them ?.

  smiddy.

  JW predicts tsunami for adelaide australia in 1976, ever heard of this?

  by Aussie Oz in

  i remember way back when, and it was reported in an adelaide newspaper at the time, that a tsunami was predicted to wipe out adelaide and the then state premier don dunstan very famously stood on the end of the glenelg jetty to 'stop it' (to show what rubbish it was).

  anyway, looking around wiki i find this snippet:.

  one famous demonstration of dunstan's charismatic style and media-savvy came in january 1976. a jehovah's witness soothsayer predicted that due to dunstan and the state's social liberalisationwhich he saw as sinful[121]god would destroy adelaide with a tsunami caused by an earthquake.

  Australian CO's have the advantage over American COs in that they're still entitled to receiving a pension at 64, even though they haven't been part of the paid workforce for decades.

  But it must suck to have given your whole life to an organisation, based on a prophecy that never comes true, and have nothing to show for it.

  Did any of you know the TATT before you left?

  by marriedtoajw in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know that all everyone's experience vary but i ask this because i am under the impression that since jw's are taught to avoid reading material that may be critical of their teachings they just stay away.

  yet many of you violated this at some point to come accross information that confirmed or convinced you of "the problems" with the org.

  i have also spoken to active jw's online who seem to know the controvercies but still defend the org vigorously.

  Yes, that's why I left. I couldn't be a hypocrite and teach doctrines I no longer believed in.

  I think she looks like what Amy Whitehouse could have looked like if she hadn't touched the booze and drugs and not so much makeup.

  Cats and Dogs should not be spayed or neutered!

  by IMHO in

  2. friends

  a controversial subject that hasn't been talked about here for 10 years (or so it seems on my quick search).. .

  i think it's wrong to spay or neuter.

  i bet most of you will disagree.. my vet just called me an irresponsible owner for refusing to have my cat spayed..

  And all those unwanted kittens and puppies would be sent to the pound and then we'd get yet MORE photos of abandoned kitties and doggies posted on animal lovers' facebook pages.......

  Rumor Elders Will Receive Name Badges For Every Meeting.

  by HelpMeBelieve in

  i keep hearing rumors elders are going to be getting permanent badge cards to wear to every meeting.

  one excited brother told me, "it would be nice if new ones to the kingdom hall could see who their shepherds are.

  there is a great surge in activity, new bible students will be able to locate the proper elder in charge of bible studies!

  At what age do people 'wake up'?

  by Splash in

  2. experiences

  i was thinking about this question recently after being at the meeting when new pioneers were announced for the 2013 service year.. we have a dozen or so pioneers in the congregation, and most are in their 20's.

  some absolutely love the things they are taught and can't wait to spread the good news.. others in the congregation are going through the motions, tired of hearing the same old same old but have no way to change things now.

  then there are a couple like me.

  I still go through the same questions: Who does the ministry, who preaches God's name etc, and there's a lot in the WT that I agree with.

  There's heaps of threads covering those topics on this site.

  Take your time in coming to your own conclusions. I could easily tell you the answers but it wouldn't be the same as researching the questions yourself.

  my appointment with the oral surgeon was this morning at 10 a.m.. the tooth i'd cracked had to be tended to.

  i knocked the whole top off by eating a cube of ice.

  (yes, the word "moron" comes to mind..:).
