Should we tell my sister in law she can appeal her DF'ing?

by AlmostAtheist in

friends

gina's sister and her husband haven't been df'd yet, contrary to what we were told.

she will be announced this thursday.. she's not aware of the "organization" side of the organization, gina and i both feel she is unaware of her right to appeal.

if we tell her, and she appeals, i think she stands a decent chance of having it overturned.

How stupid of me to believe that God appointed Jesus as judge instead of 3 window washers and carpet cleaners.

CHEERS MATE! (an experience with jdubs at a stag)

by in a new york bethel minute in

a couple of years ago a cousin of mine was getting married, so the boys had a little stag party for him.

nothing major, just some drinking and a couple of rounds of pool.

as we received our drinks at the bar, i naturally raised my glass to clink it with theirs.

Honesty

I propose a toast to the demise of the WTBTS.

Why is everything related to pagan origins?

by upside/down in

why is everything in dub-land put through the "pagan" filter.

it hasn't resulted in a better "dub", they're a vile bunch as a whole.. .

example: what if someone out of the goodness of their heart and for no apparent reason wanted to celebrate (say without the traditional cake w/candles) the "birthday" of their child.

Help me prove to my bf that defellowshipping happens

by MM090503 in

hi all.. many of you have probably seen my posts on here before, but if you haven't let me reinterate my story in short for you.. i am currently dating a wonderful guy, but the problem is he has been considering becoming a jw.

he has studdied with them for about a year.

because of me has agreed to do some religion searching and figure out what he really believes.

Honesty

Like some others have said, just ask some Witnesses. Not only do they disfellowship anyone that breaks their little man-made rules. But they are damn proud of it! They'll tell you that it is one of the distinctive facets of their little cult. Its how they keep the congregation clean. More than likely, they'll have some little scripture snipppet ready to fire off, 'Mathew chapter this, in harmony with Romans verse that.'

Fast forward: If you two stay together and have kids, and they don't buy into the lunacy, then when they grow up, and are no longer dependant, The Cult will try to get you to cut all non-emergency ties with your own kids. Ain't that a kick in the a$$?

Buster, you have described the Jehovah's Witnesses so accurately.

Tell your BF to get baptized and then decide that the doctrines of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses, who falsley claim to be the one channel God is using to communicate with mankind, are 100% against Christ and he wants out to be free to worship in the manner that Jesus taught. Just hope that he didn't convert you or any children you may have into the organisation and you decide to stay in the cult. Your life will be total hell. Abusive treatment from all the congregation elders and members because your husband rejected Jehovah and Jesus and since they can't turn on him because they will be disfellowshipped if seen talking to him because he is an apostate and he is hated worse than anyone on earth they will turn on you and your children. If you are thoroughly brainwashed you will feel guilt, shame and unworthy of their love because you are 'weak' due to your relationship with him. I left the Jehovah's Witnesses after almost 15 years of dedicated service in various positions within the organisation because I finally saw the extreme lack of Christian love, unscriptural doctrines and blasphemous practices such as the yearly ritual they label 'the memorial'. My wife and I divorced before I officially disassociated myself due mainly to the social shunning she recieved because I was not attending meetings. When I disassociated myself the 'loving organisation' influenced her so much that she is currently being prosecuted for contempt of court regarding my rights to visitation and legal rights afforded to me by the state I live in to take my child to my place of worship where unconditional Christian love is displayed to all no matter social status, wealth, education or level of individual spiritual maturity. Her 'loving elders' agreed for me to meet him at the KH but since our divorce was judged unscriptural and I am an outspoken cult apologetic helping others to break free from the iron grip the Jehovah's Witnesses have on innocent victims they decided that it would not look good for me to be on their property. They were really afraid that I might be able to influence their 'flock' to stop putting their faith and allegiance in the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses and turn instead to putting faith in Jesus as the bible teaches. If your BF persists in associating with them and you stay loyal to him you are about to take the longest ride of your life down a road full of grief, misery, pain, heartbreak and suffering. He is also risking his chance for everlasting life if he supports their blasphemy. The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses are guilty of deliberate atrocious crimes against humanity by their doctrines regarding medical treatment and their fear and hatred of all former JW's who may be inclined to expose them for what they are.

Jehovah's Witnesses call all members family -article

by under74 in

" it paints a very rosy picture of the organization.

One day those heartless bastards who call themselves the faithful discreet slave are going to face a higher court for the heinous crimes they have committed against the human race.

10 Longstanding Problems that I have with the WT Society: A Summary

by Bluegrass Tom in

i have a problem with this.

do they know what the right thing is?

this must mean that college is worse today than it was years ago, but is now okay to attend?

Honesty

Very well done, Tom.

I will address one issue and add two more for you to consider.

Jesus speaks of the difference of a faithful servant and one who does not remain faithful in at least 3 chapters of the Gospels.

They are as follows:

Matthew 18

Matthew 24

Mark 12

All this is a comparison between a faithful Christian and a Christian who does not remain faithful. Nothing more, nothing less.

I suggest you read John 14:6

Where does the WTBTS and the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses fit into this scripture that details God's provision for everlasting life?

Here are the issues that I would like to present to you.

Get a copy of the NWT 1961 edition and another of the latest edition and read Hebrews 1:1-6 in both editions. You will immediately notice the position that the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses has relegated Jesus to in the latest edition.

You mentioned 1914 and 1975. However, the so called Faithful Discreet Slave namely the human leaders of the WTBTS and its affiliated religious organisations also emphatically said the same things about 1874 and 1925.

I am labeled an apostate by the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses because I dared challenge them to present either bible chronological records and/or secular records to support their 607 BCE date for the destruction of Jerusalem by Nebochadnezzar II. The Babylonian Cylinders in the British Museum of Natural History and the Assyrian Astronomical records both testify that the correct date for the destruction of Jerusalem was 586/587 BCE. The astronomical record is not necessarily a secular record as we all know that the creator of the universe set these heavenly bodies in motion and dates can accurately be determined in many cases down to the exact hour with astronomical records.

Getting back to the apostacy I was accused of and the subsequent death sentece imposed on me by the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses, I refute their self-exalted claim as being the Faithful Discreet Slave of Matthew 24.

Furthermore, with their failed prophecies of 1874, 1914, 1925 and 1975 I appeal to Deuteronomy 18:20-22 as a witness that the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses are false prophets and unless they repent and turn to the saviour of the world, Jesus Christ, and immediately dissolve their blasphemous organisation that has stood between mankind and Jesus and committed so many atrocities in the name of God their demise is certain to be visited upon them and all those who faithfully support them.
