the bible clearly defined what an apostate is: loose morals, like dogs returning to their vomit, arrogant and haughty, impatient, cynics, causing divisions, have trouble following authority-all of these qualities, all summed up, i saw here.. if i am simba, i wouldn't want people like you in pride land.
you people will only cause trouble and problems.
you are the scar's and hyenas whose place is in the elephant's graveyard..
"Anyway, at the end of the day, my God can kick your God's ass!"
I don't think the holy spirit resides in the person who said this. The WTS is true, so true! You people are just a bunch of losers with wicked hearts and empty minds. I wish the Watchtower magazine will feature more about apostates.
back in late 1973 when i got my fatal doubts about the wtbts, i was sure that the society would crumble soon after 1975 when yet another prediction failed.
i was not alone with this thought; a british author by the name of stevenson (an exjw that had written an expose) allocated an entire chapter in his book about the likelihood that there would be a very major falling away in 1976 or soon thereafter.. but it didn't happen.
yes, there were several years of consecutive worldwide declines.
He he he! You apostates are talking like a bunch of pre-school students...losers!

as an it business consultant, i always use michael porter's competetive forces model to assess whether a firm's e-business strategy will give them a competitive advantage against competitor's.. the competitive forces model identifies five forces in the industry that a firm needs to contend with to become successful.
these forces are the:.
1) bargaining power of customers.
The WTS painted your image vividly in the WT magazine as the 'bad guys'. I doubted the WT's words. I went to check it myself. It was true. It is disappointing to see how people who claims they have found freedom outside the WT walls are worse than those whom they criticise.
I was reading all your posts and i can't see any input from a godly person. I was like sorrounded by a bunch of hyenas in the elephant's graveyard.
recently the local congregation had the visit of the c.o.
the local needs talk he usually gives was replaced by a talk he said will be given to many congregations around the world.. this talk is targeting th very young.
kids are being strongly encouraged not to put off baptism and that children as young as 10 can make an informed decision to get baptized.
They didn't say FORCE THEM, but if they want to do it WILLINGLY, let them and do not stand on their way.
So are you suggesting their is no end called Armageddon? There is according to the bible! Is it near? Who knows? It appears it is near according to world events.

The kind of comments i get on this forum just shows the quality of people you are. The WTS is right when it describes you people. Now i know. You can't find the truth here. Not among you.

You still have to prove the WTS is wrong!

2) Bargaining power of suppliers
3) New entrants into the market
4) Substitute products and services
5) Existing competitors
Assuming the WTS is a business and the product is the JW association and teachings. Why will apostates fail to compete with the WTS? Let us examine them one by one.
FIVE FORCES
Bargaining power of customers (the members)The 'switching cost' is to high. If a member leaves the WTS, he/she will suffer from being disfellowshiped and loose friends and family.
Bargaining power of suppliers (the apostates and other denominations)
The apostates don't really have a tangible product to substitute the WTS product. All they can do is try to prove the WTS is wrong, that's about it.
New entrants into the market
There are no new religions around to match the WTS product.
Substitute products and services
Substitutes products (hellfire, immortality of the soul, trinity). JWs have learned to reject these doctrines. It is hard to deprogram them to embrace it again.
Existing competitors
Roman Catholic Church, Mormons, Seventh Day Adventists, Salvation Army. JWs are programmed to view them as false religions. It is hard to deprogram them to embrace it again.
OTHER FACTORS
Marketing
Zealous evangelizing of the JWs will only enable them to recuit more members as time goes by.
Medicine on their side
For the blood issue, alternatives are coming up and the field of medicine is now buying the idea of bloodless surgery.
Past mistakes of interpretation
The JW GB are now vocal in their admission of the past mistakes they did. After all, they are only humans.
Management styleAs the management is changing and getting younger in terms of age, old 'beaucratic traditional culture' is slowly changing to a more relax management style.
by constantly irritating the un and other government organisations about their complaints against the wts as an organised religion, do you think these men are contributing to the fulfillment of the wts 'interpretation' of the prophecy regarding the wild beast turning against organised religion?

is it "fair" for paul to disfellowship those who are not working secularly in the 1st century?
