  this seemed like a likely place to introduce myself.

  i live in oregon and was disfellowshipped a couple of years ago.

  i never went back to meetings and i don't intend to go back.

  Hi Keeli, welcome to the board. This board has been great for me as I attempt to discover the truth about the WTBTS. You will find a large group of support here where you can discuss just about anything on your mind. The best part is the lack of judgement here!

  Thanks Vitty, I am really trying to do that. The only difference being that I will still go to meeting with her if she wants to go.

  "Letter should be sent within one week. It is imperative that a letter be sent promptly if the person is or has been a child molestor. If society determines that a brother could be used again after having been a molestor in the past, they will direct the congregation to destroy previous records. (very rare)"

  
  How should the statement in the parenthetical be interpreted? That the destroying of records is very rare, or the reappointment of a molester?

  The first time I read it, I thought the former, yet now I may be inclined to believe the latter. Either way, the destroying of records does take place.

  JWs are not the ONLY spokesperson organization of God on earth

  So who is/are the other(s)? Mormons? Roman Catholics? Jews? Hindus? Muslims?

  Is this a typo? Don't JW's believe they ARE the only spokesperson org of God on earth?

  Incredible Irony...

  by Confession in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it is perhaps one of the greatest ironies i will ever witness in my life.

  more than all other religions i know, jehovahs witnesses ardently emphasize the need to flee from idolatry.

  no crosses, no holidays, no national emblems dont hang posters of pop culture icons, dont emulate worldly athletes or celebrities jehovahs witnesses are intensely concerned about committing idolatry, but they cannot see that their devotion to the watchtower society is as idolatrous as a thing could be.

  Good catch Confession.

  The way the sentence is phrased could allow a JW to reason there is no deviation from scripture in the statement. The earthly org is Jehovah's org, the creator of Jesus. In addition, Jesus is the head of this earthly org, so worshipping JW's are actually submitting to Jesus headship by following the direction of Jehovah's earthly org.
