  Are baptized Witnesses that are no longer in the "truth", but were NEVER DF'D, now to be shunned and treated like disfellowshipped ones?

  by Dunedain in

  a relative of mine was telling me, that in his, and a few neighboring congregations, there is a little confusion amongst some of the jw's about this "issue".

  some families are having a hard time about whether certain relatives will be attending certain family functions, because some family members that are no longer in the "truth", might be invited to these functions.

  mind you, these persons were never disfellowshipped.

  Yes,

  Watched Cedars video on the convention

  And it's quite apparent

  That if you are a renegade

  Watch Tower operatives

  Will hunt you down

  And kill you

  I am a Living Time Machine

  which world is this?_________________when the doctor pulled my screaming body out of mom all those 7 decades ago, i landed in a post-wwii world.it was--compared to today's world--an alien planet.. the world i live in today has nothing in common with the world in which i grew up.. there were no cell phones back then--there were black telephones with a dial-tone and an operator who placed your call.

  everywhere you found telephone booths!

  a call was a nickle.where did all those telephone booths go?i dunno.where did my whole world go?i dunno.. tv sets were huge boxes with tubes and small screens.

  Sisters as Ministerial Servants?

  by Spoletta in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my wife has been trying to convince me that the organization is hinting at the possibility of making some older sisters ministerial servants.

  she is awake to a lot of the false doctrines, but is still clinging to the hope that the org may become more progressive in the future.

  anyone else pick up on this?

  All this problem according to Paul was because Eve was "deceived"

  In view of her crime then, no woman should ever be involved in food

  preparation,

  Because all the world's troubles

  Are a result of Eve serving bad fruit

  If "the Truth" is the truth, why are witnesses so scared of research?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it is an often asked question i know, but it perplexes me.. if witnesses are so convinced that they have "the truth", why is the act of researching information from external sources so taboo?

  didn't the bible itself tell people to "use their powers of reason" and also praised ones like the boreans for researching things they were told??.

  seriously, if there is no doubt about the organization being "god's channel" on earth, and it alone having the "truth", surely researching would only enhance such 'facts'?.

  Steve2:

  Because they are written by people with no real education,

  Or experience,

  But wait,

  They do know the Bible,

  Oh yeah,

  I already covered that

  I like to be brief so I'm going to give my number one reason:

  Witnesses train themselves to have a number of Scriptural "proofs"

  in mind

  So:

  The "whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one"

  The Devil as a "roaring lion" is seeking to devour someone (them)

  This is the rationale as to why University has been pretty much banned,

  If you don't take measures to protect yourselves and you fall to

  the Devils "machinations" then your losing your salvation would be your

  fault

  You must keep up with regular study in WT publications and meeting

  attendance (brain washing)

  Stay away from contrary information

  Or you will fall OUT of the "Truth"

  Now you wouldn't want to do that

  And die at Armageddon!

  So
