Shunning

by A Believer in

you guys do know that if you just leave and never go back you wont be disfellowshiped right?

i know people who have done exactly this.

you have to commit a sin and you or someone else has to tell a elder.

Or you live in a small community and can be observed,

Then you're screwed,

April 2017 wt says you can't undo a dedication to God

if that's true then you can't say such and such is no longer aa jehovahs witnesses .

now i'm not very educated but is this like contradictory..

tepidpoultry

What if one becomes an Atheist,

Wouldn't such a a dedication be null,

In the mind of an Atheist this entity does nor exist,

A slave bound to a master,

And the slave says Where am I to receive my instructions I see no one!"

This is absurd

What if a Kingdom Hall is dedicated to Jehovah,

Can it be sold and then of course be used for something else, let's say a brothel?

Maybe it can never be sold then,

I feel really, really sorry for those born into the Jehovah's Witness religion

some facts that make the difference between you and me:.

1 - as a person raised by non jw family, my parents have never loved me based on conditions set out by a group of old men who they don't even know.

how does it feel to know that you are in the unique situation where your parents brought you into the world and said 'i'll show love to you.

You're attacking my parents here,

Please stop,

Thank you,

Is it morally wrong to put Watchtower behind?

by Darkknight757 in

with our latest and final run in with the elders, the wife and i had a very long talk about what's next in our life.

do we try to help others see the light as it were concerning watchtower or do we just let it go and move on with our life?

we have made it perfectly clear that we will never go back to watchtower and we are finally happy.

tepidpoultry

I think you deserve some peace and happiness,

Experience tells me that that will only be accomplished by

Moving on,

Peace

Brooklyn Brothers Signworks... WUT?

the ad for this site came up here on jwn.

http://www.brooklynsignworks.com/jw/?gclid=cp7ppbzr_tacfy-baqodwocm1a.

i was not aware that these cart signs were being made and sold by essentially a private company or proprietorship.

Centralized Trolley purchases are not really a bad idea,

Other big franchises such as McDonald's have been engaged in mass

scale bulk buying for decades,

And this group, regardless of the sincerity here, is a religious franchise,

A lot of companies out there are vieing for the big JW.org bucks, it'a baby

Vatican!!

So, (tongue in cheek) why not make major bulk purchases of iPads and

iPhones (made in China) and give all but especially poor brothers a price

break!!

Then force brothers to buy theirs from them as they do (by intimidation)

with Hotels and NOT Subway sandwiches at Conventions TM

Just sayin,

This is a mighty captive buying audience,

Don't you think that they should at least be getting a price break,

Especially in Africa where folks don't even have clean water,

Does anybody have an idea who pays for these carts?

Is it the congregations and are they invoiced?

Thanks,

Hi,

I guess I need some help here as,

A few years ago there were these Contribution Boxes everywhere that said WORLDWIDE WORK Matt 24:14,

I understand that was replaced by requisited Congregation extortion I mean donations,

Now doesn't this Trolley Work have something to do with Matthew 24:14?

So shouldn't all this be put together in some JW compound, (as labour there is pretty much free/volunteer/slave and so costs should be very competitive with that of China,

Now, isn't this the sort of thing that the Matthew 24:14 donations are supposed to be for: PREACHING THE GOOD NEWS???

What am I missing?
