on page 322 of penton's apocolypse delayed (second edition), he states that leo greenlees and ewart chitty were removed from the gb, but never disfellowshipped.

the issue was homosexuality, according to penton.. does anyone have more specific info on this matter?

i only came on board this forum a month ago and i have not seen this mentioned.

Methods used to defend the WTBTS - how sound are they?
by AK - Jeff in
1. watchtower
2. bible
have you ever noticed that the watchtower apologists always use the same argaments to defend the organization - and that these arguments are the same ones they use in reverse to attack 'false' religion?that the organization is made up of imperfect men - therefore it is bound to make errors in both doctrine and action at times.

but that argument is not accepted for say the catholic faith or the lutherans when they attempt to refute the accusation that they have not the 'truth'that we will wait on jehovah to clear up that issue or this - but the other religions are not allowed that defense.that we changed doctrine due to new light on the matter - but the other religions are following 'teachings of demons'.

thoughts - comments?

What have you done to counteract the 'cult of Jehovah's witnesses?'
by AK - Jeff in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
i know that many here would place jehovah's witnesses on a list of 'cults'.

personally i don't think they meet all the standard definition - but would class them as an 'authoritarian sectarian movement'.

at any rate, most of us would not want our neighbors to get caught up in the mind-twisting that we endured and from which we finally removed ourselves.. that said - have any engaged in successfull enterprises to counter the movement?

Like the Indy Colts - WTBTS has not defense but keeps on going downfield!

a strong offense can make it possible to do things you should only be able to do with a defense - .

i think that is the strategy of the wtbts - they just keep moving the ball and keeping the other side (the sane ones) off balance.

they never feel inclined to 'defend' themselves since all the r&f will just swallow it all hook line and sinker - in short many like the show.

brobennett -

since you stated that you take the societies articles seriously, especialy regarding martial arts, i thought maybe you missed this kingdom ministry that deals with the satanic influence of sites like this one, so i pasted for you to review before continuing to try and save our souls on the internet.

i highlighted the parts you should read and study carefully-

a few years back a 'sister' in our hall was df'd for marrying a disfellowshipped man.

they were both free to remarry 'scripturally' - in their late-middle years of life.

i asked one of the local pharrasies why?

Let's all show up at the Memorial - and gasp - Partake!
by AK - Jeff in
1. social
2. humour
here is a plan to throw the entire organization into chaos.

many of the 'apostates' here believe in the ransom of jesus - and the command to partake of the 'communion' of the lords evening meal, right?

i have come to accept that that 'memorial' is simply a recognition of jesus' sacrifice.
