  we all know wt's view of "apostates"and disfellowshiped persons.

  they grap from the old testament quotes that "god's people, isralites" stone to death the evil doers, even the unobedient children.

  the first one to cast the stone was a close relative, parents, brothers, sisters.

  Justhuman14.

  Another thought taken from the bible is that of the disciple Stephen. Here was a man who was accused of all sorts by the Pharisees. But he didn't hold back from telling them a few home truths.

  For his outspoken honesty, the Pharisees stoned him to death.

  The Organisation are modern day Pharisees, a fact that they've proved time and time again. We are the ones speaking out with honesty. By the same scenario, I don't doubt for one second that the modern day "pharisees" would have us stoned to death if they had the legal right to do so.

  BASHING the families of disfellowshiped ones

  as if the first assembly day was not bad enough, talking about the greedy, fame hungry witnesses who go to college and will not get blessings from jehovah, sunday was worse.. .

  i could tell the wife was not happy the minute she came through the door.

  after letting her get her "lemonade" in a glass, i said, "so, no rough talks today?".

  Hi Jabberwock and thank you.

  I was looking for the talk that Pistoff's wife heard recently and wondered if it was part of the DC program.

  Here is Pistoff's thread http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/176017/1/BASHING-the-families-of-disfellowshiped-ones

  But according to the program outlne, iI can't see a talk title that would fit that description.

  I wonder how many people left the JWs due to something a 'worldly' person said, tho...?"

  I did. I knocked on the door of a born-again christian (didn't we dread those ones?) This one wasn't nasty (the previous one called me a heretic and slammed the door)

  Instead he invited me in and began to talk about God's grace, about how everything is paid for and I don't have to prove anything. This man's gentle manner had a profound affect on me that day and it began my exit.

  Without him I would have always felt there was something wrong with the truth but like most dubs, didn't think there was anywhere else to go.

  Perhaps the GB will ban JW's from calling on all other christians too?

  You forget one thing. The Witnesses we know personally are already "stoning" us by not talking to us. For many this action goes against their natural conscience and behaviour yet they feel compelled to quell the natural abhorrence this may cause and do this because they've been persuaded that God wants them to.

  So if they can be persuaded to shun in the name of God, how much bigger a step is it to kill in the name of God? Agreed, for some,this would be a step too far for their conscience, but for others it definately wouldn't be.

  Reminds me of the scripture that talks about those that would kill you would think they've rendered a sacred service to God. This is what the Witnesses would be trained to think. Most are already halfway there with the shunning.
