Yet another guilt-inducing "Do-More" Watchtower article...
by Alfred innu-litetm: if youre in a wheel chair and have a speech impediment, you still have no excuse for not reporting field service hours every month.
so stop complaining, read the article below and start using your cell phone to send theocratic text messages.. .
from page 14 of the january 15, 2012 watchtower study edition.... .

Victoria, Australia: Report on Oct. 11th hearing involving Steven Unthank
by AndersonsInfo invictoria, australia: report on oct. 11th hearing involving steven unthank.
(this report is from an anonymous xjw who attended the hearing.
i had no plans to turn up to the court hearing as an observer, as in my experience, it can take several hearings and a number of months before any court case gets rolling.

Yes - well said sizemik and wobble. Big vote of thanks to Steven from me too.
Am I just starting to see the beginning of end for the WTS as we've known it? It's going to be hard to keep the cap on this one!

Man jailed for posting religious abuse on Internet
by hotspur inrecent news item in the uk.
this guy received a 8 month jail sentence which case was prosecuted under "hate crime" laws.
this is a very similar situation to the recent case that cedars, amelia, cantleave and others have pursued in hampshire with the police.

@ cofty - I believe that was not related to this guy's hate campaign. Sinister hard core stuff but comes on the back the ongoing Rangers/Celtic battles
@ wobble - that was what went through my mind. Birrell's activities (to my knowledge) didn't lead to any violence as such ~ just the suggestion of hatred which is NO different to the weasily words of the Watchtower! In fact I beleive the WT to be worse and their intent (deliberate or otherwise) was to split families that, intrinsically, really want to be together.
The WT wants Armageddon to come and bring death to Apostates - Birrell seems to be saying he doesn't mind if people die. Which is worse?
Ok - so I may have a bias in my thinking but I think the WT is the Big Bad Boy here! They wrap their vitriol in the sugar coating of "Jah loves and protects the congregation. All true Christians would do well to do the same".

It's almost as if there is now a precedent to pursue this further.

Nice one wobble!
Many I knew did this.
Never understand why we had a capmpaigns to obtain subscriptions then, at the same time, "platform drives" to create a magazine route! Crazy. I guess it's then you realize it's a publishing/printing company

You are all wicked Apostates!!!
by iamwhoiam inthis is nothing new obviously, i'm just using this as a sounding board to see if i'm looking at this thing correctly.
your thoughts are greatly appreciated.. watchtower july 15, 2011 p 15 paragraph 4 under the title "will you heed jehovah's clear warnings?".
4 to elders of the ephesus congregation, paul said: from among you yourselves men will rise and speak twisted things.

So - let me see if I've got this correct...
Leaving or no longer following a belief is apostasy? The WBTS uses the Hebrew Scriptures all the time as a guide for what is acceptable when they can't find Jesus outrightly condemning something (most topically the case of Jehu and the Baal worshippers ... slaughter etc,).
Therefore, if Jesus as a good Jewish boy, spoke agaisnt the Pharisees and others or left his previous beliefs doesn't that make him an apostate?
How does that affect his standing before his Father? Rejected because of Apostasy? Surely he should be shunned?
I just love the way the borg tends to ignore the fact the Law was "nailed to the stake along with Christ" when it suits them.
