Counting/requesting time how is that based on the Bible?
by restrangled inafter reading auld soul's thread on babtism and the request for over year for any one to justify the wbts' requirements based on scripture,...(with no answer), i started to wonder what are the requests for numbers from the wbts based on.. did christ request a certain amount of time every month for preaching to qualify for what he promised?
did he count those attending his sermons to justify what he was preaching?
what about the so called "pioneer" program?

Were we "Unfaithful" for leaving, or were they unfaithful....
by JH inactive witnesses see us apostates as "unfaithful people" who took an oath to serve god as jw's and we stopped and left the organization.. we on the other hand, see the watchtower as unfaithful to their past teachings because they changed so much during the years.
on top of that even what they didn't change, it's not happening.. so, who was the most unfaithful, us, or the watchtower?.

After re reading your post, I see where I was confused....
Active witnesses see us apostates as "Unfaithful people" who took an oath to serve God as JW's and we stopped and left the Organization.
We on the other hand, see the Watchtower as Unfaithful to their past teachings because they changed so much during the years. On top of that even what they didn't change, it's not happening.
You use two different criteria for what is considered "unfaithful"....Each of these is equally true..We took an oath to serve Jehovah as the WTS deems correct. We backed out, so we are considered unfaithful. The WTS is unfaithful to their "prophecies" and to the context of the bible, so they are considered unfaithful...In an either/or situation like you've presented here, there can be no degrees of "faithfulness"...similarly, you can not me more or less dead...you are either dead or not.

Depends what you mean by "faithful" and "unfaithful".....If you mean faithful to God, then neither us nor the WTS is unfaithful but we are simply faithful according to either of our interperetations of what God requires from us. If you mean faithful/unfaithful to the WTS, then it is us who've walked away from them who are unfaithful....Basically the answer depends on what you or they are trying to be faithful to.....

Just pondering my upcoming plan
by Junction-Guy inwell gang, i have posted off and on here for several years now.
i have been to several apostafests and meetups, some i even organized.

Unless you were molested by an elder, no one is going to care (as you've seen a bit already). Maybe Pat Robertson will, but he's a kook anyway.
Sorry, man...it's the truth. No talk show is going to air a show entitled "Kids who didn't get to play high school football" no publishing company is going to release a book called "I never had a birthday party!!" What makes your story worth anyone's time and effort to produce a show about?

People who go to the meetings and put a show on, then come here and bash what they themselves are involved in. Sorta hypocritical, why not just be who you are around everyone? Why not be true to themselves?
Right on, agapa37

Does it really happen???
by Lumptard ini'm sure it can happen, but how many of you were or know of people who were disfellowshipped for using the wt society's own old literature and under what "bible principle" are they able to disfellowship???
i can't think of any off the top of my head.....

How clergy explain tragic deaths - how WTS mocks them, and reality check
by Inquisitor inin this week's sunday study, the wts again relish insulting the clergy with the following statement:.
paragraph 5) another reason why people think that god does not care about us is that religious leaders have made them feel that way.
what do clergymen often say when tragedy strikes?

Definitely shady how the WT tries to discredit another religion's way of offering comfort. Too bad that no matter what you beleive, when you die you decompose and turn into worm food. So both beleifs and consolations are equally false. Just another way for people to avoid thinking about the reality of the situation.
