@dismissing servant don't you think the governments will start to realise religion is the cause of most problems in the world and ban religion? Start of the great tribulation! It all makes sense don't ya think?
So I'm aussiming I'm the only one who is pioneering during these months for the memorial?
Aha! A pedofile! There seem to be lots of them that didn't get DF'ed.
I think the reason is that the society want to handle such things very quiet. If such a man would be DF'ed the congregation might start asking questions.
Have you heared about the Candace Conti Case?
Nope, the UN seem to more and more tolerant towards religion (especially against islam) As long as the US and the islamic countries are still in the UN nothing will happen.
Free information and internet will in the long run bring down religion.
Why don't they get df? those kind of people are scum.
what I don't get is that if they did get disfellowshipped, who would ask questions? Who backs someone up like that. It doesn't make sense. When I ask my elders about it, they quickly change the subject.
By the way, there are some threads about that Michael Porter scandal! Have you read them, Panter?
Hey fl_panthers...I used to recently be in your shoes..thinking it a privilege to lead a service group...was encouraging to all there and hyped up enthusiasm for the ministry...but in the end...I discovered and verified some very disturbing things about the WT organization that brought my recruiting efforts to a screeching halt...
If you read other posts you will see recommendations of various books that will shed unflattering and very truthful light on an organization that claims to be gods sole channel of communication to mankind but has nothing to back it up. More wrong than right doctrine has been spewed and recent doctrine changes happen more and more frequently with blinding speed...but none of the criticizm will make sense unless you first hear it in full then go verify it with WT history...I was all in and still would be if the WT could back up their claims to be "the truth" and willing to be scrutinized without DFing someone for disbeleiving one doctrine or several or all of them....that indicates fear of scrutiny and truth shouldnever fear scrutiny
Oh, that Michael Porter ...
I try not to worry about anything - did enough of that when I was trying to juggle a job, parenthood, caregiver to my mother, and the demands of being a Jehovah's Witness.
I had a nervous breakdown in the process, took a step back and read The Bible again for the first time.
Jesus of Nazareth's words in John chapters 5-6 and Matthew 11:26-30 spoke to me personally.
Now, I know that I don't have to go anywhere or do anything for Jehovah - it has all been done for us.
Blessings.
