DNCall Unmasked - Part 4 of 5
by DNCall instartfragment.
even though i didnt have the title of elder, i was still active in my work at bethel and the congregation used me as much as possible.
when the congregation recommended that i once again serve as an elder, one elder raised the objection that that barbara was a low-hour publisher.

Non-Existent First Century GB / Council Quotes from Old Publications?
by Ultimate Reality ini am looking for any references regarding the existence or (even better) the non-existence of a first century council / governing body in old watchtower publications.
it would most likely center on acts 14 and 15.. many of us have heard the fred franz recording about how there was no such body in the first century.
anybody have any pre-1970's quotes on this subject?.

Using the Bible to prove there was a 1st Century Governing Body? Fail.

Disfelowshipping Statistics
by foolsparadise inremember when the society used to say that the majority of ones df'ed each year was because of immorality.
i bet you anything the majority each year is for apostacy because they figure out this whole truth fiasco is nothing but a big lie.
the society would rather have people think it is for immorality.

Between the two local congregations there are around 200 publishers. In the past 12 months there has been 3 disassociations and 1 disfellowshipping. All for apostasy.

LeavingWT is right; I haven't attended a church where belief in and understanding of the Trinity are in anyway expected or required. When we were baptised we weren't quizzed on it, for example.

Boyzone and the WT contract
by hamsterbait inon another thread boyzone said the new baptism vows read like a contract.. i maintain it is a contract, giving the wtbts some kind of legal leverage in court cases.. remember when they were trying to stop fair quotation from their books - those doing it were in "breach of contract" i think were the words.. there was a whole thread on this subject of a contract with the wtbts about three years ago.. since a minor cannot enter into a contract, the new vows essentially make their baptism invalid.. so they should be able to get it anulled.
nor can minors give gifts.
so they should be able to ask for all the donations they made as kids to be returned to them.. plenty of good comments from leo and blondie as i recall.. hb.
