  my online friend who was baptized at 12 years old has finally decided she couldn't make it as a jw anymore.

  with 2 dfs and major depression under her belt, no longer will she be living her life for the elders.

  until armageddon comes" since she's a goner anyway (serving jehovah with wrong motivation, not out of love).. her father recently died, .

  You can be Disfellowshiped for being too FAT!!!!!

  by Witness 007 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  watch 74 p.167 "by disobediently overindulging in food and making a glutton of himself, he fails to show love for jehovah god...is food a big thing in his life?

  if in the presents of others, does he selfishly ignore thier needs and take far more then his share?

  is he grossly overweight but shows no restraint at all as to food, habitually gorging himself?

  Disfellowshiping only began in 1952!! Before this Witnesses were immoral!

  by Witness 007 in

  2. bible

  many witnesses lived together in sin or had many wives before 1952 during the rutherford era, this was frowned apoun but no one was disfellowshiped unless they did something major like critisize rutherford!

  then in watch.

  may 15 1944 and finally watch 1/3 1952, disfellowshiping was invented.

  There was no "Governing body" to disfellowship Solomon for marrying 600 pagan wives and turning to false gods. He even made it in the bible cannon. {The sexy Song of Solomon} My parents hate it when I argue this piont with them!

  Help from elders?

  by arker in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so as an elder, if you have left or are fading now, what specific things made you change your mind?

  is there some thing that most regular meeting goers would not be privy to that made you change?

  i know that you had your elder book, was there stuff in there that was out of line that made you stop and go "no way!"?.

  I was a Servant/Pioneer 10 years...The Elders were told to go easy on disfellowshiping those who accept blood transfusions since in eastern europe to get legal recognition they promised the government they wouldn't do this, if they approved them. This also lead to re-wording the disfellowshiping, rather then saying ;"John Doe has been disfellowshiped." Now we say: "John Doe is no longer a member of Jehovah's Witnesses." So according to his actions John Doe has shown he no longer wants to be a Witness. Very smart from a legal standpiont to now do this.

  I was told off for missing a Elder servant meeting even though I was on holidays at the time on christmas break, a bitch pioneer sister whose mom is anionted so she thinks she's perfect, told the Elders I conducted the witnessing group at my house, in my dirty work clothes. This happened once when I was running late coming home from work. They knew I work early mornings before witnessing. The Elders chose to grill me over how inapropriate this was. So I told them to get someone else to take the group. No one was able to. When dating my future wife One Elder thru the publications showed me that I could meet with her without a chaperon as long as it was public, like the mall. Another Elder told me that this was un-acceptable and we should never be alone, even though I showed him what the publications said, he thought it was better "for the congregation since they were gossiping about me having coffee with a sister at Mcdonalds in the mall." Elders always go beyond there powers and abuse authority.

  I came to a realization just now, how about you?

  i have been inactive now for over a half a year, and i am just now realizing that there was not one thing i enjoyed about being a witness.

  i enjoyed my friends and association with witnesses, and still do.

  but i didn't enjoy one thing that we were supposed to do, not one.

  Thats why the new KM says the Sunday talk will be only half-hour not 45 minutes to encourage more association after the meeting...most people will just piss off home early.

  Many Witnesses lived together in sin or had many wives before 1952 during the Rutherford era, this was frowned apoun but no one was disfellowshiped unless they did something major like critisize Rutherford! Then in Watch. may 15 1944 and finally Watch 1/3 1952, disfellowshiping was invented. Watch 15/1 1947 for the first time banned polygamy...reaction? Watch.-{Nigeria}"Then came the new direction on polygamy one of the missionaries delivered a lecture at a circuit assembly in 1947....he added and "the polygamists will not inherit God's Kingdom!"...division resulted. It was like a war. Many of the newly associated stopped associating saying ;"Thank God we have not gone very far!."

  Mexico {yearbook 1995 p.214}- Congregations in the1940's- "A custom was very deeply rooted in Mexico for a young man to "steal" a young women and live with her without being married...couples generally did not get married...in Mexico thier were many company servants who were not legally married...In some cases married men, seperated, and then began living with another woman, without being divorced from the first or married to the second. Some had married again without being divorced from a previous wife...in a report for 1953 the branch said: We have finished what we started the previous year, the cleaning out of the organisation of those not deserving to be in it."

  So in 1952 the crackdown began, Witnesses around the world were forced to clean up thier act or get out. Publisher figures dropped slightly but soon rebounded. So in 1918 when Jehovah chose the Witness to be his "Special people" some things were still not 100% right!

  The location of Rose Ball Henninges' grave

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  rose ball henninges is buried at burwood cemetery (near melbourne, victoria, australia).. the grave reference is: meth section 8 grave 102, which is the same grave as her husband's.. as those who have a picture of her husband's headstone, rose's name does not appear on it.

  hence her name is not listed on the transcription of headstones available at libraries and historical societies.. if you want to visit the grave, it on the left hand side looking south from burwood highway, just beyond the first roundabout.. i have temporarily provided a picture of the grave at:.

  Well done. I find it funny how the Witnesses make a big deal about how Mrs Russell never produced Rose as a witness in the court case. It doesnt explain she was living in Australia at the time!

  Thanks Cabasilis! Maybe this is the original serpent from the garden of Eden, back to his old tricks. An immortal talking serpent stalks the earth corupting mankind!

  I love how the Witness just happens to drop by, and then plays it casual...when most people would crap their Witnessing pants!
