Let me praise the Watchtower Society.
Their drama is first rate, highly competent propaganda.
Yes, a righteous organization is forced to expel unrepentant wrongdoers. But there is hope that they can return to the "truth".
Tears stream down faces. A triumph for Jehovah's Organization.
Vast crowds will view this performance and be moved. Joseph Goebbels would be proud.
It accomplishes it's purpose of the organization's endless self exaltation but does so discreetly. We are right , you are wrong. You must obey us.
But who is really responsible for the continuing mass expulsion and shunning, especially of so many young people? Well, who keeps demanding their baptism? Can a teenager choose a good marriage mate? Does the world legally treat teenagers as having the judgement of adults? Are they termed "minor" for a good reason? If baptising children is wrong, then why is baptising ( and df'ing) teenagers right?
Do you think that any of the sick, cold hearted men who run this organization ever considers the words of Acts 15:10, 11 in regard to young people being expelled - often from all real contact with their families? That they are being tasked with responsibilities beyond their hormone charged abilities? And that the sorry statistics that the Watchtower doesn't like to talk about reveal this to be true?
Yes, I know what it's like to raise a "pain in the a$$" teenager. I will not "enable" their foolishness..... but I also know that this whole arrangement of Baptism/Disfellowshipping/Shunning/ and "Reinstatement" is both sick and wrong and just another imposition by this cultish religion into family affairs that should be NONE of their business.
