The "Apostate Spell" is powerful, so if elders are called in to attempt to break this spell, they too will turn into "apostates"
Is the "Apostate Spell" a 'Learn to Spell', spell or just a general purpose 'think-for-yourself' spell, spell ??
Welcome Sushi Crow...lol at your funny post !
You People Are All Idiots...Think ! You actually did something GOOD here...you thought for yourself ! You expressed your very own opinion ! Wow...how does it feel ? You did here what you CANNOT do at the Watchtower site. That's called 'Freedom of Speech', ever heard of that ? Timothy says to "...Keep examining these things..." to "make sure" they are true. Look around...pick a subject from a title & read it. Research it...then come back and give us your opinion. We'll listen.
BTW, please don't paint 'us' with a broad brush like you have attempted to do already. Surely you see that won't work. There is a vast array of beliefs represented here by mostly X-JW's. All the way from active, doubting JW's, curious ones, relatives, boy & girlfriends of JW's (trying to understand them), to X-pioneers, Elders, Ministerial Servants, District & Circuit Overseers, etc. I don't know if he's ever posted here, but even a major, long-time Governing Body Member has quit the JW's...he wrote a very nice book, "Crises of Conscience."
You really ought to read it, if you don't, you will never understand the real 'inner workings' of how the Society really works ! For instance...all of the Governing Body members are annointed, right ? All of them are Jehovah's only 'conduit' thru which 'knowledge, understanding & Holy Spirit' passes thru to mankind, right ? Did you know they vote on issues & changes in doctrine ? A 2/3 majority 'wins' ! So, only 2/3 of them have God's 'ear' ? The other 1/3 cannot understand or interpret the 'signals' from God ? Give me a break !
I was a JW for 35 years, I NEVER got to 'unload' my opinion to Elders or other JW's about things I didn't like. You can do that here.
We don't bite - hard. And we will never ever shun or disfellowship you either.
Sincerely,
Rabbit
