i was just wondering how ex-jw born agains and members of other religions view jw's and their time as one.do they believe , like jw's do of other religions, that satan is behind the movment?.
do you feel that in your time as a witness you were under satans control?.

Loyalty to the truth
by happy man in.
at bokstudy yesterday , we talk of the diffrent things gb say, and who we must stand to this.. i tell that they are only peopel and have make some misstaks, as we can se , fore exampel in the proclaimers book, well the study leader say, we must shoe loyality to the gb, even iif it later show upp to bee wrong, it is very importat that we follow what they say.. this is a ver difficult area, ofcourse in our religion we can not have 6 million diffretn wuies, but if we follow evry word very carefull, are we then not follow man?.
what about if they say something who take your life, and later change this, who is responsibel, or even worse our kidds, who are resposibel if they die on such polyci, like the transplantaision prohibition, we have fore some time, are we fore exampel personaly responsibel fore our akts, when the day is here, or can we say, we only follow what the gb say.. this is a very tricky qestion who i think about a lot

Elders vs. Clergy? Lacking
by patio34 insince i'm not a religious person anymore, this is not a thread advocating clergy people.
but simply a comparison between most clergy and jw elders.
usually jws have made it a positive that elders are not like clergy.

Selective Compassion
by MYOHNSEPH ini dont know how many of you have listened to the audio of mike spence interviewing j.r. brown on the societys policies related to child molesters, but its worth a listen.
i was particularly fascinated with browns comments about allowing someone, who may have previously been convicted of child molestation, to later hold a position of responsibility in the congregation.
as an example of how this might happen, he presented a hypothetical case in which a boy of sixteen has sex with a girl of fourteen, with her consent.

When "called a brother"?
by metatron inwhen is a witness no longer "called a brother"?
logically, they would not be disfellowshipped.. if a person is df'd and makes clear that they no longer wish to be considered a witness by anyone, how are they.
"called a brother"?

Religious Tolerance & Hypocrisy
by MYOHNSEPH inin looking over the wts website this morning, i was drawn to an article entitled, the edict of nantes a charter for tolerance?
it deals with the edict signed by king henry iv, of france , in 1598, which afforded an unprecedented degree of religious tolerance and freedom of religion for protestants of that time.
while questioning the motive behind the edict, the article seems to extol the virtues and rightness of religious tolerance.
