  i've just received an email from a non-jw friend who is discussing some issues with a non-internet'ed jw and would like to offer some quotes.. i'm afraid i've lost track of some stuff and haven't time to find them right now.. can anyone help with any part of this?

  i'm crap at pulling up links from this site, and i know many of these sujects have been discussed here.wt quotes that say jesus isn't the great crowd's mediatorrandy's citation of the 10/1 or 1/10 1993 wt that encourages witnesses to hate apostatesquotes where the wts said you must be a member to be savedthe threads on the 144,000 doctrine (i can think of at least a couple in the last year)threads regardling doctrine changes, especially regarding the "generation change"a rebuttal to "witnesses are the 1st on every disaster scene and help to rebuild non-witnesses' houses, etc.

  anyway, any focus on humanitarian efforts are just like 'polishing the brass on the titanic'".. i've already sent the link to "quotes" site, and am in the middle of answering a number of other questions.. any help would be gratefully received.. thanks in advance..

  i've been "studying" with a nice jw lady, we've been discussing the "what god requires" booklet.

  we were reading about how very soon, jesus was going to start separating the sheep from the goats.

  i jumped right on that, asking, "so this is a future event, right?

  One more question, why the change in understanding? Did it tie in with the generation change?

I jumped right on that, asking, "So this is a future event, right?" She had to do a double take, and say, "Yes, that is right." I know at one point, that the WT taught that the separating work was being done now. When did they change it to a future event? Can anybody tell me what issue of the WT it is in? Thanks.

  Today, I'm Going To Bring The "Crisis of Conscience "Book To My Mother

  my mother has been expressing to us how she reluctantly is beginning to see that the organization indeed has some problems.

  she is starting to "feel" that things aren't right.

  this past thursday, they gave a "marking" talk for my daughter who hasn't attended a meeting in years.

  I'm sorry, Minimus. That has got to be hard to have your mom talk to you like that. Continue to show her your unconditional love, the elders will show their true colors again soon enough. Your poor mom.

  DFd/DAd persons and "apostate" literature

  by kj in

  2. friends

  can anyone tell me if associating with dfd/dad people or reading "apostate" literature is a disfellowshipping offense?

  is it one of those unwritten rules, or is there something written about it in the wt?

  Thank you for sharing your story. I'm sorry about what happened to your son. I hope God will use you to help others escape the JWs.
