wts limits field service in certain cases .
should users of tobacco and those addicted to drugs, or those taking substitute drugs (like those on the methodone program), be allowed to share with us in the filed ministry?
july 1973, km, p.4, question box.
you forgot some phrases
in every caseinvolving those not completely free of their addiction the deciding factor is whether their accompanying us in our field ministry will be cause for stumbling or not
In some cases.............going from door to door[might require greater caution to avoid a wrong impression
sooo....if your smoking in the middle of town of course your not going to be allowed to preach..this would/could be a cuase for stumling
however if joe camel is toking in the bedroom...i think a little more
leaway would be given...of course this is only if he is honestly trying to quit.

did being in the org really screw up your idea of what dating is.. i gues you would have to had "courted" in the org to answer this question.. the orgs idea of dating is in a sense to get married.. while outside.... marriage isnt even thought of for a looooong while.. my question is because i dont know if a girl is .
being casual or brushing me off : )
If you really want to find out how a girl feels about you, try stalking her for several weeks. If she breaks up with you, stalk her for an even longer period of time
aaah..yes the "i can make you love me approach"....i have tried that with my return visits.....as most dubs have..never resulted in a bible study..I may try a different tactic with my dates

i remember hearing a "story" or "myth" or whatever you want to call it when i was younger in regards to the origin of halloween.
the way the story goes is this:.
a few angels fall from heaven and form human bodies for themselves.. they take human wives.. then they have their children, "the nephilim".. these nephilim are killed in the flood.. when the angels leave their human bodies they mourn their dead children.. the night that they mourn these children is later known as all hallows eve or the night the demons mourn thier dead.. has anyone else here ever heard this story?
A few angels fall from heaven and form human bodies for themselves.
They take human wives.
Then they have their children, "the nephilim".
These nephilim are killed in the flood.
When the angels leave their human bodies they mourn their dead children
yes...i have heard this story..it was neatly told in
the auto-biographical song
"here comes the rain"
by the Eurythmics
my brother was just here and of course since we are both disfellowshipped we have nothing better to talk about than jw bs.
so as he understands it those of us that are disfellowshipped are still counted as jw's by the society.
on one hand i could understand the math.
df'd people are indeed counted at the meetings and conventions...
and so are df's counted if they partake...I am not kidding..so if all of you wanted to screw things up for the society..go and partake......
you seem like a reasonable person.. how do you rationalize having discussions with exjws?
serious question.
not baiting you.. how do you view people like you know and friday who clearly do not show a loving approach towards presenting the pro-jw case in any arguments?.
Greetings Joel,
I hope I can answer your questions
How do you view people like You Know and Friday who clearly do not show a loving approach towards presenting the pro-JW case in any arguments
Everybody is entitled to their opinions.
How do you feel about disfellowshipping and shunning? Do you really believe it is useful in rehabilitating people? Do you really believe the practice keeps the congregation clean
I believe it can be very useful. However the extent to which some JW's take this is often times to far. If you have family memeber who are df'd, you must maintain a reasonable relationship with them.
How can it not keep it clean? By removing an unrepentant sinner, you are no longer subject to his ways and opinions which may be contrary to Bible standards. [/quote]
