New Loophole Created: You can cheat on your spouse without him/her being able to divorce you

by ILoveTTATT2 in

jw

the new "pillowgate" video exposed a loophole in the witnesses´s thinking, showing how dangerous and stupid legalism is.. this loophole is sure to destroy many people´s lives.. 1) they said that two men masturbating at the same time in front of each other does not constitute "porneia".. 2) "porneia" is the only biblical reason for divorce.. 3) from 1) we can also get two women masturbating in front of each other, or a man and a woman masturbating in front of each other, does not constitute "porneia".4) most people would consider masturbating at the same time with another person to be cheating, and a logical reason for divorce.. so this will lead to many witnesses going to the elders and being told that they cannot divorce this person who clearly cheated on them.

then, if this person (the "innocent mate") divorces and marries someone else, then that person would be the one possibly disfellowshipped!the implications of the loophole are so stupid and so damaging!i predict another flip-flop.

"considering things more closely, this is "porneia"... or doubling down on it ("sorry but that is what the biblical limits are") or just fading away into those things that only 1% of jw´s know it´s a rule....

3) From 1) we can also get two women masturbating in front of each other, or a man and a woman masturbating in front of each other, does NOT constitute "porneia".

BUT - if one of them (man and woman masturbating in front of each other) will stay over night - this will be a biblical reason for divorce.

You are right with:

...how dangerous and stupid legalism is...

Jw`s published "The Kingdom Interlinear of The Christian Greek Scriptures " { Ki } some years ago which had a word for word translation of the Greek Text. do they still use it ? I wouldn`t be surprised if they didn`t.

They still have "The Kingdom Interlinear" in their JW Library APP beside other translations.

If they use it? I think no.

Jw carts

by Jrjw in

i was just thinking it would be funny if apostates set up jwfacts carts and placed them in areas where the jws do their metropolitan witnessing to unwitness to people the witnesses have spoken to.

it would probably get the jws backs up like or it would stop the cart witnessing altogether.

stan livedeath
was it obligatory for each congregation to buy so many of these carts ? how much do they cost ? who supplies them ?

The costs listed in the form S-80. I never saw this online, maybe someone can post this form. More answers:

so i shared a facebook video from newsbroke with my wife.

you many agree or disagree with the points made in the video.

please, don't make this about that.

fastJehu

Maybe you can point out how much we have figured out and how much better life is today as a result.

Good point. But next week in WT-study she will be confronted with the WT-claim, that humans can't solve problems. In this thread the deceiving data cherry-picking and misquouting is discussed:

Were visits to the library an important part of your childhood?

by compound complex in

greetings, fellow bibliophiles:.

i remember how sad i was, as a little child, when our beloved carnegie library was razed (unsafe, structurally).

the same tragedy occurred when we moved to a new town and that similar architectural treasure was demolished to put up a new and gleaming building of steel and glass.

Were visits to the library an important part of your childhood?

Does visits to the kingdom hall library count also?

I hated the visits there - because there were mostly blows on my buttocks.

I had a library pass when I was little. I regularly borrowed books about forgotten cultures there. Later also books about how to cheat on class tests. I couldn't take these books home with me and then I read them on the spot.
