We Need a Video like this one

by TerryWalstrom in

this is very easy to watch and completely informative.. does anybody have the talent to put one together regarding watchtowerism?.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vkt4hrbtuk.

just checked the faq on jw.org as i wanted to show a df'd friend of ours how dishonest they were being about thier shunning policy.. well don't you know they've only gone and got honest about shunning df'd ones:.

'we do not automatically disfellowship someone who commits a serious sin.

if, however, a baptized witness makes a practice of breaking the bibles moral code and does not repent, he or she will be shunned or disfellowshipped.

Thanks for the extra info Blondie.

I find it amazing how THEY feel THEY are in a position to decide that 'principles' of the ABANDONED mosaic law are to be viewed as gospel. That's millions of very deluded people! So glad I'm no longer one of them!

Well the friend I mentioned in the OP has been dfd for a couple years now but last time we met he still felt it was the truth but couldn't live up to it. Needless to say I helped him see the error of his ways and enlightened him on a few truths about 'the truth' lol. He sees things very differently now.

I wanted to show him the FAQ on shunning so he could perhaps show his parents (who shun him until they want/need something from him).

I was hoping he could find some way to reconnect using their own words against them... It seems I'm a little late :(

Well don't you know they've only gone and got honest about shunning Df'd ones:

'We do not automatically disfellowship someone who commits a serious sin. If, however, a baptized Witness makes a practice of breaking the Bible’s moral code and does not repent, he or she will be shunned or disfellowshipped. The Bible clearly states: “Remove the wicked man from among yourselves.”—1 Corinthians 5:13.'

I guess here's more proof they're paying close attention to the Ex JW community lol!

Thankyou tv.jw! you are helping my wife wake up!

by stuckinarut2 in

i have to thank tv.jw!!!

(im not putting the complete link, but you know what i mean).

after showing my wife the 'trolley song' as we now call it, she was rolling on the floor in embarrassment and shock.. she shook her head, and was clearly troubled by what we watched.. little by little, the org is actually helping more to wake up!

Anyone else noticed under Herds name it simply says Governing Body and not Governing Body Member. I guess their self importance knows no bounds😁

DON'T PANIC — Hans Rosling showing the facts about population

by cantleave in

an incredible lecture that uses statistics to show that the world is much better than many people think.. the challenge of population explosion - has been solved.. the challenge of extreme poverty is within our grasp.. the challenge of climate change - well that's something we need to focus on,,,,,,,,, take an hour watch this, it dispels the doom and gloom preached by many.

Stephen Fry says everything I believe in two minutes

by cofty in

"it is perfectly apparent that god is monstrous, utterly monstrous, and deserves no respect whatsoever.

the moment you banish him, your life become purer, simpler, cleaner; more worth living in my opinion.".

Nothing to apologise for cofty. It's a great watch!
