Hi friends,
I was thinking that the WTS was headed toward a more "mainstream" platform for a while with the loosening up of the "college thing" and what it seemed were a switching over of what were once Df'ing offenses to now becoming "conscience" matters..blood, voting, etc.(although the WT literature says they are "conscience' matters we all know what the real deal is) anyway, I had thought that maybe the society was going to try to soften public perception to them. But then, the tough df'ing policy was reiterated in a kingdom ministry a couple years ago.
It is very obvious WHY the society is so tough on the shunning is that they are SO DAMN AFRAID of being exposed. Df'd people are very dangerous because they are free to do research on reality and the WTS is very vulnerable to actual "truth". They are well aware of their miserable history of changes, false prophecies, etc. and df'd people are potential "truth bringers" to the mind controlled flock. I think that is why they are so tough on enforcing the "no contact with df'd people" thing.
THE WATCHTOWER SOCIETY CALLS THEMSELVES THE "TRUTH"...IN REALITY, IT IS THE VERY THING THEY FEAR THE MOST!!!!!
