I think you may have misread what was written. The claim that one would be disfellowshipped for reading C.O.C. is inaccurate.

" Read Franzs "Crisis of Conscience" if you want to see flaws. Flaws so great you can be disfellowshipped for mearly reading it."
Sorry but that simply is not true. Quite a few Witnesses have read this book. You may wish to believe this but it is not accurate.

Why animals die?
by EzroJP ini know why human beings die, but why animals die?.
did they commit anything wrong according to the laws of god, so they have to die?.

" but why animals die?"
Maybe because no where does the Bible say that animals would live forever?

You might want to show that elder the following from the Watchtower magazine October 15, 2006, pages 18-23)(HONORABLE WEDDINGS)
"14) In some lands where customary marriage is recognized as legal, there are also provisions for civil (or, statutory) marriage. A civil marriage is usually carried out before a government agent, and. it may include both taking marriage vows and signing a registrySome Christian couples prefer this civil marriage to a customary one. There is no legal need for both; each procedure is legally valid. What is said in paragraphs 9 and 10 about a wedding talk and vows applies here too. The main thing is that the couple are married in a way that is honorable before God and man. -Luke 20:25; 1 Peter 2:13, 14."

The Society Isn't about Money. The Governing Body isn't the Illuminati.
by under_believer inno, it's not a vast conspiracy for the governing body to get rich.
it's about power and control, but not personal power and control.
the watchtower society is a living, nigh-sentient entity unto itself.

I guess then the local college students are living high too! At just one meal they had all three of these. The joys of attending a private college?

by jayhawk1 infor the origional experience, go here.... http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/126352/1.ashx.
well, here is where things are as of today with rca.
after following many of your suggestions and finding an operator willing to do their job, it appears i have a new rca dvd recorder on its way.

Well that's something good then.
However I currently have two RCA TV's that are 8 and 10 years old. They are both still going strong without any hint of trouble. One bad product doesn't mean everything made is junk, nor does one bad experience with customer service.
