  Do Jehovah's Witnesses Shun?

  by lurkernomore in

  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.

  I love that quote and remind my son of it often.  I would argue though that this site, and all others  like it, have already "won".  Winning wont be measured by the end of the wtbs society or some official announcment that the doors have closed at bethel.  Winning is defined as one person being saved from a life of servitude and denial of self.  By that standard this site and all others like it have won countless times over :)

  would jehovah find himself disfellowshipped?

  so lets assume that the current jw use of disfellowshipping was used back in jesus day, .

  who of the bible characters would find themselves disfellowshipped?

  jehovah?

  Well, playing along a bit here, i would have to say that df'ing the big guy isnt an option. The boss can do whatever he wants, by default, if he does it its ok for him to do it..

  However i think its noteworthy to look at biblical examples of humans  who would have merited df'ing (this has been before but what the heck i will start us off)....

  Aaron.  Built the golden calf. Should have been killed (df'd by todays standards) but wasnt. He even stayed as an appointed man. 

  King david.  For multiple things including adultry and murder to cover the adultry. He also kept his privledges of service.   

  I'll leave more for the rest of the audience

  i just started to watch the february broadcast when i noticed a metallic rattle over the drone of sam's voice.

  (does that man speak with a mouth full of chowin' tobacco or is he choking on the rubbish he reads off the autocue?).

  yep it's his rolex.

  Can we be deleted as an appointed man, or disfellowshipped without meeting in a committee?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  so, i am genuinely wondering if the above is possible nowdays?.

  with the changes in the power structure of co's, the changes in gb directives re never questioning "jehovah's appointed channel etc", i wonder if "disciplne can be given out in absence?.

  i know that several elders in our cong have little "discussions" about my apparant slackening off, and would love to take action against me... they have tried to chat with me but that has been shot down.. so i wonder if they could just make a decision without me being present for it?

  Stepping down was a complete and total relief for me. I have never been more at ease and do not miss it one single bit.  Even if it stings for personal reasons, this is nothing but a good thing for you :)

  Yea in watching that horrific crap last night i gave a lot of attention to the watch and its defintaly invicta.  I actually respect herd a little for that since i like some of their watches ;) of course that respect in negated because its not mechanical and its fake gold tone which is the height of pretentious and phony 'oh look at me-ness' ..... But i definatly concluded its the invicta.

  My favorite invicta, one i wear only on special  occasions:

  
  

  
  

  

  It had an eta/valjoux 7750 automatic movment.  Awesome weight and look...

  jw.org is the fastest growing media outlet in the world, our local cobe said we are going to take the media from satan's wicked world!

  repent before it's too late and come back to the kingdom hall with all your loving brothers and sisters!

  you won't find happiness without jehovah's organization and you know it!

  Devolution, not evolution

  by abiather in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  scientists discovered an organism that has not evolved in more than 2 billion years (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/02/150203104131.htm) .

  one can dismiss this as an exception*!

  yet overwhelming proofs are too obvious to miss if we take the community as an individual (community is the reflection of the behavior pattern of the individuals that make up the whole).

  Just curious if the OP has realized yet that every example you gave is of human social structure "devolving" and has absolutely nothing to do with the biological evolution you are railing against....?

  More education bashing in April 2015 simplified watchtower

  by hoser in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  elders in wealthy lands may find it difficult to encourage baptized brothers in their 20s or 30s to do more in the congregation.

  ex- perienced elders in about 20 lands told us why they believe that some young brothers do not do more in the congregation.

  most of them said that when some brothers were young, their parents did not encour- age them to set goals in jehovahs ser- vice.

  Thats not antidotal. Its in the ks book/letters to the BOE.  Its not automatic removal but its automatic review if his qualifications which could lead to removal
