Hello Brothers and Sisters!
On another day when we are blessed with the fruits of life, let us take the time to reflect on some of the wonderful provisions that our God Jehovah hath given to us!
How do we know when the time is right to give ourselves to our wonderful provider?
As we know it is totally our choice:

Wow! A bit harsh wouldn't you say. Gee, I wonder if asked by the press how they treat former members if they would give them the same response................guess not, then they would see their true colors.

Thanks, beans.
here is the definition of "coerce":
3 : to bring about by force or threat <coerce the compliance of the rest of the community —Scott Buchanan>
If things such as this:
These very ones will undergo the judicial punishment of everlasting destruction." (2 Thessalonians 1:8, 9) All indications are that this destruction will come in our day.are not threats, then I don't know jack.
It's unbelivable the coercion tactics they use on YOUTHS too, telling them that getting baptized in association with their org. is a REQUIREMENT to being an ACCEPTABLE person by God. And if they don't want to get baptized into this org, that it's because they don't have the right heart condition.
How very sad.
ALL those quotes serve one purpose of the wbts. And that ONE PURPOSE is to COERCE adults and youths to dedicate their lives to the org so they can have authority over them all.
peace,
somebody....who can't swallow any of the wbts' spiritual food without gagging.
