I say for reasons 1, 2 and 10.
Here's another question... Why did the elder in my congregation not only have the biggest breifcase in the congregation but it also had rabbit fur all over it. That ugly piece of luggage will always haunt me...!

JWS leading a double life
by greendawn indo you know (or have you ever known) of apparently loyal or even fanatical jws that lead a double life?
they may appear godly and obedient but in secret they bend the rules eg by fornication, cheating etc

ahem... yes over here. Before I left I was leading the classic double life. And no one ever twigged to it either... I was living in constant guilt wondering when Jehovah would let the elders discover my multitude of sins...
ah well. guess that's another fable proved to be fake.

Thank you all very much for your responses... I will most certainly pass that info along. I will also recommend that he reads the two books by Ray Franz. You guys are a great help!

Let me see if I have you right here ---- you left the witnesses because they take scripture out of context but cannot think of any examples? ROTLMAO In my opinion every time they claim the FDS applies to them is going beyond what is written .
Um actually no that is not why I left the witnesses. I left them for other reasons which I have outlined in previous posts.
I would like specific scriptures to show to this person who the witnesses have twisted them or ignored the context. All I am doing is trying to stop another person being sucked in by them.

Hi Guys
I've been having on online discussion with someone who is being called on by the witnesses. He has approached me to find out why I left them.
I'm sort of new at this anti witnessing caper so hoping some of you guys might help me...
He has asked me if the witnesses ever take scriptures out of context and do I have examples. I have searched JWD and found this:
Baptized servants of Jehovah who deliberately follow a wicked course and refuse to change must be viewed as unrepentant and thus unfit for Christian fellowship. (Compare 1 John 2:19.) Such individuals cannot be allowed to remain in the clean Christian congregation and thereby contaminate it. They must be expelled. The use of 1 John 2:19 is taken out of context in it's use in this paragraph. The apostle John was referring to antichrists in this verse which is a far cry from some of the reasoning used by the "loving" elders as requirements for disfellowshiping.
Could anyone else give me some more examples?
