  The difficulty of recovering from JW teachings

  by DT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's difficult to free yourself from years of cult influence.

  i'm concerned that i may still be suffering from hidden assumptions that i haven't considered.

  i'll have to examine my thinking for the rest of my life, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.. it would be easier if we could reject everything we were taught, but that's not really possible.

  How many apostates are in the governing body?

  by DT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if the elders ask a publisher if he thinks the society should change the blood policy or any policy and he admits that he thinks that something should be changed, then he can be disfellowshipped for apostasy.

  however, it appears that the governing body periodically votes on proposed policy changes and a 2/3 majority is needed to make a change.

  this means that governing body members often openly admit that they disagree with some official policies.
