thought inspired by my post on tattoos: within the watchtower organisation, how many "conscience issues" actually are?
are people who actually do exercise their consciences in grey areas painting a target on their backs for the more hard-line dubs?
are they quietly avoided because " bad associations spoil useful habits"?
Maybe we could add
smoking ?
Alcohol ?
soft drugs ?
I personally new of Elders and MS, who smoked and drank alcohol ,how much is too much and how little can we get away with ?
To each his own I say.
Whatever grabs your fancy.
Who can live in this world without some small vice ? as you get older ?
in the revelation book it talks about jesus' witnesses.
were are true witnesses of jesus, not those who teach that jesus is the almighty god, but really true witnesses of jesus.. this is what the revelation book ways about witnesses of jesus:.
19:10 ..... brothers who have the work of witnessing concerning jesus.
When people in this world stop taking what the Bible says as gospel " truth" we can all move on and prosper and not be kept back by religious superstition.
only a matter of time!
here are just a few examples of what is inferred now, but will become 'new lights.'.
i'm sure thousands more verses will be 'refined.
I should print out a copy of that and show the next JW who calls at my door and ask him/her if they have seen the new version of the Bible?

a real estate document on the robeson county website is filed:.
the religious order of jehovah's witnesses has provided a "life estate" for them.they can live in this townhouse until they are deceased or choose to move away and in either case the ownership becomes entirely the property of jehovah's witnesses.
I don`t think anyone has given any thought to the mental stress this demotion could have on his mental health .
If what has occurred to him was because of his drinking problem then he is most likely in a vulnerable state and a possible suicide risk.
.I wouldn`t wish that on anybody.
I realise he didn`t care for the feelings of people he has hurt over the years being an arrogant GB member but we don`t have to sink to that same low level ourselves do we.
Just saying.
I know I have made fun of his drinking problem myself and I should know.

Do they stock the fridges with alcohol as well ? , like whisky ?
embedded in the cleveland ohio convention.
pre covid attendance was always 7k+ this year 4500.. 37baptised mixed bag.
less then half were children.. as far as patience goes, it can certainly help you be a better person when dealing with others but needless to say, this having patience waiting for jehovah is pure b.s.!
It`s funny how Jehovah`s witnesses point to the Bible to say that the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked (Satan) one 1 John 5:19 , ,but when it comes to the crunch, it`s not Jehovah who comes to their rescue ,but Satans world who bails them out .
in ancient israel many of the prophets were killed as a result of their religious assignments —from god.
even soldiers were sent out to fight against idolatrous “uncircumcised” and logically some died for example jonathan, the son of king saul.
these soldiers were said to be fighting the wars of jehovah and there was no miraculous salvation for everybody all of the time.
NO, a futile, terrible, needless , waste of life.
i’m new to apostate stuff but have gone deep down a few rabbit holes of late so want to see both sides to everything .
im going to a congregation but am viewed as a bit of a black sheep because i question lots of things but not enough to cause too much trouble.. i’m intrigued watching the show.
in my heart i’m pretty sure the governing body are fakes and charlatans.. the entire thing is a big con game.
Welcome Teddnzo,
keep asking questions.
What about Ps.146:3 Do not put your trust in nobles nor in the son of earthling man to whom no salvation belongs etc,etc.Jer.17:5 Cursed is the able bodied man who puts his trust in earthling man,
after a few years, unexpectedly, my pimi wife became pimq.. today she even asked me a question that i found very interesting:.
if god has been anointing women to be part of the kings and priests over humankind, why cannot they currently rule and guide 8 million people being part of the governing body (acquiring experience in that role as well)?.
That was a good Q your wife asked ,let`s hope she starts asking more .It could be an early sign she is starting to wake up ?
