in the insight book under expelling, it refers to 1 cor 5 and titus 3 and 2 thess 3 as the basis for disfellowshipping.they've often said that the governing body was stated in acts 15 of the apostles and older men.
however, why was there no decree or letter issued by the governing body or apostles and older men and sent out to the congregations, detailing the principles of disfellowshipping?
it is all paul.
So, why is a doctrine and procedure created based on only what Paul said?
In a legal setting a person that is disorderly or breaks a law can be trespassed from private or even public property for a year or longer because he is encroaching on others. In a church setting or JW community a member who breaks the rules and doesn’t want to stop disrupts the practicing of religion by others in the group. If he doesn’t stop, he is put out. Fundamentally, this makes sense.
i read a news article that scientists have made from stem cells a human embryo.
poor soul..
it’s not human
Try explaining that to a creature with a mind and heart like the rest of us. Or maybe that’s the justification for parts of it.
is it an original from the graphics department?.
anyone know?.
I will say that when a wt illustrator creates a drawing or painting, he or she has used a real JW person as a model. Do you think wt is going risk getting sued by copying somebody else’s work? Does wt graphics department need to copy or can’t they create something themselves. Obviously they can and they do. Sometimes unintentionally it turns out similar or maybe someone can argue that it was intentional but wt has the resources to create original artwork.
self-aware npc has an upload that the ""top-secret"' elders only secret boxes is a drum roll here......a new brochure.....ta dahhhh🤪.
i mean how more dramatic can we get..
You really think these boxes( given the truthfulness of these posts) are as innocuous as they seem or is there something else brewing. We will have to wait and see.

im not an atheist, makes no mathematical sense, nor does the buy(more) bull(shit) god make any logical sense... maybe a deist on my best day, in the end you cannot get something from nothing, paradox if you ask me... but in reality i just dont care.
while in, and moving out of the cult, its like a roller coaster, emotionally, yet, for me, over time, i just take it one day at a time, and if appeasing some special deity is required, well i guess i failed.
lol.
god of love who murders babies is as impossible as a square circle.
That’s been answered many times on this Forum but you don’t like the answer —although based on a false premise that unaliving anybody you like especially babies (by God) to you is mur$er because you say so.

Fishy you sound like you worship a cosmic vending machine for the benefits it brings you.
Non-sequitur. For example, in Revelation 4:10 the 144k throw their crowns of everlasting life at God’s feet.
My heart does go out to your pains, however. You don’t sound like those guys who’s conduct is like vermin.

I would like to be on the side of a God that is invincible and neutralizes all of my enemies and brings me relief from anything bugging me. If cofty believes that ain’t loving or right, too bad and bring such people to live with him.

Semantics Fishy.
No it is not. For the reasons I’ve posted which contradict and falsify your personal definition.
