  What does Disfellowshiping really mean?

  by nolongerconfused in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  not sure if i spelled the word right, but:.

  as some of you probably know i'm no longer active and have stopped attending etc...etc.... if one is disfellowshipped for whatever reason, including not agreeing with wtb doctrine...does the wtbs consider you worthy of death come armageddon?

  i saw the trial transcript and that's what they believed in the 50's...anyone have any recent quote from their publications explaining how they see a disfellowshipped person?.

  Disfellowshipping means you have probably annoyed the elders in your congregation.

  If you discover any of their little secrets and you let them know you will be on your way out!

  I feel very proud that I was disfellowshipped a year ago. It took up valuable time of 12 elders to do it!

  I am now A "do not call".

  one the how many exbethelites thread it was mentioned that some think one either leaves down the path towards apostasy or as a 100% true believer.

  i'm curious what experiences did you face at bethel that woke you up (or started to at least)?.

  JAN 2013 SHUNNING ARTICLE COULD MEAN JWS NOT AS OBEDIENT

  by steve2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in a separate thread, there's been intense discussion about how the gb is still seeking to tighten its grip on the rank and file.

  the latest evidence is the january 2013 watchtower which rolls out hugely predictable statements about not doing anything to upset one's (jw) family by, for example, being in email contact with a disfellowshipped witness.

  it's hard to stifle the yawns.

  I have become a return visit!

  by pajaha in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just for background, i da'd 12 years ago and i'm now an atheist/agnostic.. i normally avoid answering to the jws (i can usually tell it's them because i hear two sets of incredibly moving footsteps coming up the stairs to my flat) or they do a quick "magazine presentation" and then they're off.

  on one occasion a few weeks ago i answered and the guy seemed up for a discussion.

  i said i was an atheist, a lengthy discussion ensued and he "placed" a creation /evolution leaflet with me.. i was expecting a call and, after avoiding them a few times, i finally answered.

  Congratulations - I am a 'Do NOT Call'.

  They walk along the road and stop at the bottom of my drive in - consult a bit of paper and walk on! It is so peaceful being dis-fellowshipped.

  Question Regarding Blood Centrifuge

  "furthermore, blood does not settle into four primary components.

  this only occurs after being put through a centrifuge with additives.

  Probably - heparin, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and sodium citrate - as these are added to blood after being extracted from a person and before testing.

  my dad now an ex witnesses was visited last sunday by an active witness who said that during the special talk in the assembly in colchester england they would be advised to begin stockpiling food and water for what could a economic meltdown!.

  my dad reminded him about the ancient israelites who relied on jehovah and were provided with mana after their escape from egypt, the point was lost on him!.

  have the governing body become a pseudo survivalist regime, and where is their faith!!.

  Here is their policy on child abuse from JW-media.org

  That policy has been on the JW website since 2003; following on from the UK Panorama TV program.

  When I pointed it out to our local Elders in 2005 they insisted it was out of date in 2004 and should have been removed from the website.

  I wrote to the British branch office and they insisted it was correct and applicable in 2009.

  Who can you believe? OR are they all liars?

  I believe that policy is purely for the public to see and IS NOT the policy used by Elders when a situation arises.
