    There was yet another disfellowshipping going in my congo announce the other night. That makes 6 I believe now, 5 i'm sure of that have been DFed in the past year or so in my congo alone, and they don't seem to be making any effort towards reinstatement. I know the reasons behind all those, that's why I know they were DFed and not DAed. I here this is happening in nearby congos as well, and from what I hear here, disfellowshippings are happening at a rapid rate.

    This led me to wondering just how many people have actually been JWs, how many DFed ones there are out there with no intentions of coming back. That's why it seems so much like a cold BUSINESS organizaton to me now. If you aren't up to par or break company rules, you're FIRED(DFed)! In several years down the road you might see that a business has for the most part, all NEW employees. Take my congo for instance......if you look at the congo 10-15 years ago, it is an entirely new congregation now with maybe 20% of the publishers(employees) from the 10-15 years ago remaining. At the Memorial this year I had seen some there that I hadn't in years, since when I was a very young child. I thought they moved away but came to find out that they were either DFed, or stopped coming and no one from the congo really contacts them anymore.

    I guess the main point is that it seems that the org doesn't seem to have much of an interest in really helping the "weak", and they drop the DFed like a hot plate. It's like, "if you quit, you're no longer of any use for us." "If you're DFed, we'll go out and recruit(hire) someone to replace you." It just resembles a business organization mentality to me.

    That's "strictly". Sorry for the misspelling.

    I agree sad to say they are the only bussiness doing that.

    A lot of the companies that I have worked for are always complaining they can never find enough good workers but they treat the ones they got like trash a refuse to pay a living wage muchless what people want for the work.

    What amazes me is how they can stay afloat while still doing the very thing that causes the problem they suffer from, A lack of socialism and community.( yep good ole communism has it's place even in a capitolist regime )

    R. F.,

    True.

    The WT is a business organization and, like all businessess, it must protect the bottom line at all costs.

    This means, first and foremost, keeping the presses rolling as that is where the profit comes from. Second, they need complete control of the distribution system.

    Only the Nazis had this much concern for control, standardization of person, and numerical data.

    Sick, sick bunch.

    Glad you seem to be ok....

    Take care,

    R.F. It you really think about it, it is. I got home today after Witnessing to a JW ( I will post the story late today, when my post count Increases), and I found a PM in my YouTube box, citing that a video I posted was wrong, and they do not go around disturbing other peoples beliefs. I bought up the Field Service on Christmas, which really bothers me, sad a few things on it, and girl really couldn't respond to it. I told her, point blank, Why is it ok for you to bug families son a High Holy Day, trying to push your beliefs, while attacking others about Celebrating Christmas, but yet It's not ok for someone to come witness to you, or witness outside of a Convention after its over.

    There is somethng wrong about people outside the assemblies who do nothing but protest against J.W. worshipping. It was wrong for Rutherford and it is wrong for ex Jw to do it to J.W.

    In the United States we have freedom to choose our way to worship!

    Some might think that it is an okay thing to protest outside of an assembly hall, but something small is how hate starts.

    I think healing starts when you realize that Jehovah's Witnesses are not the only ones who Dfs their people.

    R.F. The society is a business. Russell use to pay people to give out pamphlets until someone decided to do it for free. Volunteer workers! :-) I

    They are certainly a business trying to appear as a religion in order to profit from this pretense. The way they treat ex JW and especially the dissenters shows that they have no christian love. Even if you don't want someone to be part of your org you don't have to totally shun them and destroy their families.

    It is a business wrapped up in the skin of a religion for tax evasion purposes. They started out as a publishing company and have become a real estate developer with a printing side business. Getting the rank and file to preach in "imitation of Jesus" is just a public relations tactic to present a religious face to the world at large. The religion does exist, at least in the hearts and minds of the lay membership, but what would it be without its corporate sponsor?

    There is one key difference between the Watchtower Society and other businesses. The other businesses give out paychecks, how ever tiny, for the work the employees do. The Tower doesn't.
