  This is just my thought after reading over the "book study" for this week.

  The apostles chose to follow Christ, all of them were Jewish Christians. No matter where Paul and Silas went, the Pharisees stayed harrassing them and would not leave them alone. Spreading vicious rumors and trying to have them stopped.

  JWs compare themselves to the apostles who were being persecuted for going to the synagogues and drawing away other jews and proselytes. Even as they went into Gentile territories the Pharisees were on their backs.

  JWs would compare the Pharisees to "Apostates" saying that the Apostates speak ill of them and persecute them and try to stop the preaching work etc.

  NO!!! You JW idiots! - YOOOOU (and the GB/WTBTS) are the PHARISEES and the "APOSTATES" are like the apostles trying to show others that they only need to but their faith in JESUS and not a man-made organization.

  YOU JWs (GB/WTBTS) are the ones that go to the extremes to cause trouble for your former members, just as the Pharisees did to their former members.

  You praise the BOREANS....yet no one in your ORG can research and check into things for themselves! This is why you never site your sources (or rarely do so) in your publications. Afraid of the backlash, because you LIE or speak 1/2 truths... a lot!

  ORG = PHARISEES

  APOSTATES = CHRISTIANS (let LOVE be the identifying mark)

  Yup, RagingBull, I think you have it right.

  Here's where my ignorance shows. Just what exactly do they do, and what indeed CAN they do to their former members?

  Haha, nothing but resort to school yard bully tactics like name calling.

  Yes, during last week's study, I found it funny how the Pharisees were upset and jealous that the Christians were drawing away followers for themselves, from their pool of proselytes that they had worked to gain. And this is exactly what they accuse "apostates" of doing.

  Then the Pharisees whipped up persecution and opposition. Today, who is the aggressor? It was not Ray Franz or Ed Dunlap or Carl Jonson and those like them who wanted to separate from their brothers and sisters, or socially kill anyone or break up families by means of shunning, or harm a single hair on anyone's heads. They wanted to upbuild others in Christian love and truth. They did not ask anybody to follow them, but rather, Christ Jesus.

  Ragingbull: You are speaking the gospel. Jdubs don't realise that Jesus and his apostle's were apostates. Jesus wept over the destruction to come upon Jerusalem because of their sins.

  Likewise, Oh, how we will weep over the destruction of the WTB&TS when those hypocrites receive their judgement from God. (WELL, MAYBE NOT)
