  ethical consequences of faking reinstatement...

  i know that there are enough of you out there who can add good points to this discussion, and i await your opinions.

  however, please be aware that i wish for you to take great care in your posts.

  i am not interested in haphazard responses.. so as to not give away too many details, i'll simply say that recent events have caused my in-laws to strongly desire my wife to fake a reinstatement.

  Gregor I think he is talking about using the system to 'eat its own brains' as it were.

  Using the systems lack of checks and balances to get reinstated (from the perspective of the Borganization) w/o the crap they put you through.

  so if the org is a greedy corporation, which is interested in money, why preach in the prisons?

  what is the point in that?.

  Outlaw,

  There are some in prison that are improperly convicted, and not all in prison are pedophiles.

  Hi Elsewhere,

  On the average it takes 3 to 5 years for an electrical production plant to pay for itself. (My experience was with a gas burning electrical plant in the 90's).

  Numbers is their favorite Bible book.

  Also known as the book of Begat.

  Newton even played a bit with numbers but discouraged date setting.

  bit fed up tbh , the recent lies and slander levelled against me which has remained unanswered has left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth, plus probably spending a little bit too much time on web forums, see you all in a while.

  It's nice to see the WTS is lightening up...

  by peacedog in

  when i was attending, an elder would never give tacit approval to a jw's participation on a website like this.

  back then procedure was a harsh warning followed by disfellowshipping if the behavior were to continue.. when i was being raised a jw, no witness in good standing, let alone a pioneer, would ever consider allowing his/her children to attend a halloween or birthday party.

  seems as though the days of "mental regulating of youth" are in the rear view mirror.... how great is that?

  LOL yeah, pretty soon the WT will accept the trinity as well.

  Oh man I just got busted for laughing out loud here at work.

  In the name of the Governing Body, Writing Department, and Legal Department you have been forgiven. You will have to put in 15 hours field service and 2 book placements, now go my child and sin no more.

  "It's OK To Come Here, It's Not Unscriptural"

  by minimus in

  angel eyes said this.

  i agree that it's ok to come here and it's not unscriptural.. so, i'm confused.

  why would the watchtower organization, the faithful & discreet slave and its representatives, say witnesses shouldn't come onto sites like these?

  i've never smoked tobacco or a joint in my life!

  i know some regular pot smokers and they're pretty cool people.

  they typically say pot is better than alcohol and that it should be completely legal.

  In reality the best solution would be if it never existed , but we have to deal with reality as it presents itself.
