i am curious can a single jw sister get a breast augmentation?
will the elders disfellowship her?
will jehovah be angry with her or upset?
I think you answered your own question with your name tag " friedchicken" .
More than likely the Elders would say something like " Your not happy with the body Jehovah gave you? "
" Why do you want to do such a thing ? Making yourself a sex object ?"
" What if every sister wanted to do such a thing would that bring praise to Jehovah ?"
today all jw's in holland are informed that all meetings, the preaching work and the circuits are halted / closed because of sars-covid-19 / "corona".
first till march, 30 and then maybe longer.. the first time that the jw work in holland completely stopped.
the memorial will be held only for jw's.
Maybe they should just do the Memorial on line instead of having it at KH`s where everybody could log in and observe it ,wouldn`t that be the most sensible thing for the GB to organise ?
Under the circumstances ?
Otherwise ,having all of their members congregating at KH`s all over the world could be just passing a death sentence on all of the elderly that will attend this meeting .
They are for the most part only observers so why can`t they just do it on line where everybody can log in and observe the celebration of the Memorial ?
so i have an eye out for a couple of the more nefarious jw books from the past.
i look on ebay etsy and others.
i see that the older books are selling for a good price.
A few years ago now ,I was managing as a volunteer a Senior citizens OP shop where I live and somebody donated what must have been about a dozen WT / Society videos .
Apparently from some old person who had passed away and their family thought to give them to the OP shop.
.There was no way I was going to put them on the shelves in the shop so a co-worker who was no fan of the JW`s had them dumped in the trash.
And I had no problem with that decision.
will meetings and conventions be canceled?
the ministry?
shepherding calls, get togethers?
In my neck of the woods in E.G. Victoria,Australia I would imagine that "the end is nigh" is at the utmost of the minds of JW`s.
Just in this past 6 months we have had devastating bushfires ,floods in some parts ,a hailstone storm that wrecked my back deck where my roof looks like its covered in swiss cheese and now with COVID-19 and the 3 Supermarkets here with depleted stocks of toilet paper ,paper towels,and tissues ,along with hand cleansers ,I`m pretty sure its not only the JW`s that are thinking "the end is nigh" ?
I am now lamenting the time I dumped all of our WT literature, we sure could use all of those pages for toilet paper.
specifically for women but all can join in.
1. whether you believe in the bible or not are you free to read /allowed to read the bible,the word of god?.
2. whether you want to or not, are you free to read/ allowed to read the shepherds book, the word of men?.
How does the downplaying of women in the Christian setting gel with how women were used by God in the Old Testament ?
Deborah was a Prophetess and also a Judge over Israel "and the sons of Israel would go up to her for judgement"
as one example .
You don`t hear much about her and how Jehovah put her in such a responsible position from the WT/JW `s do you.
hebrews 13:8.
"jesus christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.".
the book of hebrews declare that jesus is god in this verse.
Will the real Jesus please stand up ?
Jesus -the word.
Jesus- the logos
Jesus - Michael the Archangel
Jesus- the son of God
Jesus - the first born of all Creation
Jesus -the king of the Jews.
Jesus - the king of Christians
Jesus - the king for a thousand years after Armageddon
Jesus- a carpenter
Jesus - a babe and then a youth growing up.
just in case anyone needed this.. 2020-march-announcements and reminders.

Thanks Terry ,. I wasn`t disappointed .I think I would put this in the forward of your book.
" Elder ( insert name here ) didn`t want his his name published in the book so I will honour his wishes and leave it out of the book"
i wonder if there will be panic buying of food, guns, gas ect due to the corona virus.
what do you guys think?.
I called into the supermarket today to get some goody`s, mainly for the wife ,truly ,anyhow after picking up a few goodies I ventured down to the aisle where the tissues ,hand towels ,and toilet paper used to be ,and lo and behold there was not one item left in the whole aisle.
I live in regional Victoria Australia a fishing coastal town with a population of about 6000- 8000 people at the most,however this weekend is a long holiday weekend where it can grow up to 50,000 plus.
And we are a good 4-5 hours away from a major city Melbourne .And their is panic buying here ?
its crazy ?
(referred to below: watchtower bible and tract society presidents: russell, rutherford, knorr, franz )did you know that from 1879 until 1954 ... ... the writings of c.t.russell, j.f.rutherford, nathan knorr, and the watchtower's own charter... ... agreed ... that jesus christ was to be worshiped?this fact has been cleverly and dramatically hidden by manipulation of older quotations.
______________________________________________________________________pastor charles taze russell answers the question for us.
see below zion’s watch tower 1898 jul 15 p.216“question: the fact that our lord received worship is claimed by some to be an evidence that while on earth he was god the father disguised in a body of flesh and not really a man.
Did you know that from 1879 until 1954 ...
... the writings of C.T.Russell, J.F.Rutherford, Nathan Knorr, and the Watchtower's own charter...
... agreed ...
that Jesus Christ was to be WORSHIPED?
And isn`t that what Philippians says in Capt.2 : 8-11 ? and all of the scriptures in the New Testament ?
Not one scripture in the N.T. charges Christians to be witnesses of Jehovah.not one.
However their are over twenty scriptures that state that Christians are to be witnesses of Jesus Christ.
