  Shunning Disfellowshipped & Apostate family Members. Scriptural?

  by objectivetruth in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  anyone who is a witness or was previously a witness, is aware of the written & un-written rules concerning association with disfellowshipped family members.. there are a multitude of quotes through out the watchtower publications, but these 2 will suffice.. "are you proving yourself holy by not associating with family members or others who are disfellowshipped?

  "the clear instruction in the bible is: avoid them.

  that means that we have to stay away from them... the bible says that apostates are mentally diseased and that they use their teachings to make others think like them... what must we do to avoid false teachers?

  Is the end of Watchtowers hated No Blood doctrine in sight?

  by nicolaou in

  i won't pretend to know things that i don't but just look at the incredible rate of change we've witnessed recently.

  it seems that since candace conti and the australian royal commission the watchtower are scrabbling around to shore up their finances in the face of unprecedented legal action against them.. abuse settlement claims are one thing but what happens when children die as a result of your religious teachings?!

  you can bet wt legal are arguing for a complete rewrite of policy to protect the organisation from litigation.. do you think their religious privilege will protect them forever?

  The GB needs more martyrs to prove that they are God's only channel on earth. And I think that that is the only reason why they came up with that doctrine. They need: "modern day martyrs".

  THE WATCHTOWER (STUDY EDITION) JANUARY 2016

  by wifibandit in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  pdf .

  this issue contains the study articles for february 29 to april 3, 2016.. what about the number of those partaking at the memorial?12, 13. why should we not worry about the number of those who eat the bread and drink the wine at the memorial?12 in recent years, we have seen an increase in the number of those partaking at the memorial of christs death.

  that trend contrasts with the decrease in the number of partakers that we saw for many decades.

  I'm so sorry!

  The first thought that came to my mind was: "fellowship, a lovely arrangement".

  I just wanna contribute my 2 cents here.

  I was thinking that it could be that "NEW LIGHT" will be coming about something. They probably wanna see the reaction of the R/F. If there is not a mass Exodus, they will continue on the projects.

  Money is not the issue.

  Has anyone asked older Jdubs how they feel about the GB annointed getting younger?

  by sherrie11 in

  2. beliefs

  i was married to a 30 year old jw back in the 90's and he claimed to be of the annointed.

  he partook at the memorials and all the elders and older jdubs didnt believe him.

  they actually gave him a really hard time.

  42 Y/O here. Started partaking when I was 34. I had a very hard time too with elders and C/O. I don't have any mental issues that I know of. I'm just obeying the Lord Jesus Christ to partake.

  Leaving quietly:

  Remember that the Holy spirit is directing the 7 big guys at Brooklyn. So, if you talk against them, you are talking against the Holy spirit. Get it?

  It's like somebody says here: "Let's review it, It's a cult".

  Do elders in the USA know already what is going on in Australia?

  has anybody confronted any jws with the royal commission reports on the news yet?

  i showed my 8-year old daughter a newspaper headline about it, and when she told my jw wife that the jws in australia were in trouble for not reporting over 1,000 child abusers to police, her response was "oh, really?

  well, i don't know what the rules are over there.
