the watchtower—study edition | august 2024. help for those who are removed from the congregation.
14 does what we have considered mean that we would completely ignore a person who has been removed from the congregation?
not necessarily.
/\/\ i get that. It was announced i couldnt be d/f--as i wasnt now a JW ( i resigned years earlier ) but i was now deemed to be apostate because of my conduct and treated the same as d/f.
I never got any sort of notification--either a phone call or letter. I found out because one young member told my wife what was announced.
This was over 40 years ago.
there was a knock at my door and i thought it was my take-away being delivered.. long story short, it was 2 elders calling to see me.
i guess to re-activate me.
once they said who they were i recognised them.
i couldnt imagine in my wildest nightmare attending a meeting once a year: someone might think i was still a JW.
attended the friday sesson of the 2024 summer convention.. july 5, 2024 summer convention crowd photo; they invited quite a lot of empty chairs.. .
the facility usually has 5500-6500. they spun it saying that fewer congregations were assigned.
there were 6 of the smaller, more distant sections blocked off with tarps to lessen cleaning, which i understand.
why on earth would you want to attend an assembly ? No one will know if youre not there.

just in from a friend who is fading.. disfellowshipping will no longer be a term used by jws.
study article 35, paragraph 4 footnote says this:.
Yes, "us". In Biblical context, Jehovah was talking to other spirit creatures in heaven, most likely his son Jesus,
oookay
but jevovah was still top dog god though?
and what was the evil they knew about ?
in point of fact--what evil could the man have got up to--?
( apart from scrumping apples of course )
this is a continuation of the discussion which sprang from an unrelated topic.. so according to genesis, who told the first lie?
god told eve that if she ate from the tree of knowledge she would die that very same day.
in response to that statement the devil told her she would not die.. eve ate from the tree and did not die.
so is the Adam and Eve story just that--a story, a myth..a fable?
Do any of us really believe its anything else ?
big news.

i'm not knocking this individual.
