  What’s So Good About Not Being A Jehovah’s Witness At This Point In Your Life?

  for me it’s freedom!

  you are not bound by an organization’s man made rules and whims.

  you don’t have to account to mere men for approval.

  Is shunning unscriptual?

  by MrTheocratic in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  international version 1 cor 5:11. but now i am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler.

  do not even eat with such people.. if shunning is wrong.

  .how does one explain this scripture?.

  I'm gonna shun you all if you don't get out of this cult and leave it alone... lol No, really, why would you want to shun someone?? I'm not a bible believing god fearing person anymore... But, didn't Jesus eat with sinners?? Just because I don't believe the same way others do doesn't make me a bad person...

  Actually, shunning is a form of being a bully in my books...

  i've been awake now for a good while.

  about a year.

  "Bethelites told they weren’t doing enough, hadn’t reached their potential so about half of them walked out of the talk"

  this was news to me, it's from a year and a half ago,.

  from joe emerson at http://www.christianwitnesses.com.

  bethelites told they weren’t doing enough, hadn’t reached their potential so about half of them walked out of the talk; efforts made to get names of those who walked out but didn’t get them all.

  And since when has a JW ever done enough? Whether it is contributing time, money etc.. Guilt has always been their dominating technique...

  How Long Does This Religion Have Left?

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the generation that will be no means pass away have passed away.. the 144,000 were sealed up in 1935, oh, no wait, we got that wrong, we still have some.. russel is the faithful and wise servant... oh, no he wasn't it was me, rutherford... no, actually, we got that wrong it's knorr... erm, no we mean the governing body.. shunning is pagan, true christians would never do that (1946)... oh, actually, we should do that too.. the revelation book has been re-written.. the un is the satan's visible organisation.. wtbs signs up for fellowship with the un in 1991.. exposed in the guardian newspaper so ends it's fellowship in 2001.. the greatest man book is now obsolete and replaced with another jesus book.. the mags are reduced in pages.. encouraged to use tablets instead of actual books to save paper (money).

  halls being sold off.. congregations sharing halls.. society owned buildings being sold off.. video pertitioning for money only last year to fund a new building.. bethelites reduced.. missionaries sent back home.. young members leaving.. long time members discovering the history and leaving.. how long do you think this religion has left?

  i cant see it being here in another 100 years.

  From my previous post........

  I know things are slow here and KH's are closing but they are not going anywhere anytime soon.... It is just an aging forest and the forest is thinning. New recruits are few and far between and born in's aren't sticking around...

  Is it Time to Declare that The Great Tribulation Has Started ?

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't really engage in doctrinal discussions about jw's anymore.

  they seem to say some pretty crazy stuff.

  but i have read some threads discussing doctrinal changes and how watchtower is really out of ideas and money at the same time.

  Here, Kingdom Halls are closing... Why I asked... Answer: "Because all the members have moved to where the need is greater" .... "The preaching work here is almost done".....

  Really??
