Undercover apostates...
by Maze ini've observed some forum users here that claim to be active witnesses (even claims to be ministerial servants or elders) while duplicitously supporting apostates online.
my contention is this; why attend meetings and/or participate in the preaching activity when the second you divulge your apostate thinking into the congregation, you'll be disfellowshipped?
while this action taken may seem to be harsh, the outworking of events wouldn't be much different in one of christendom's churches.

Every single time you start a new "persona" on here, you make a thread about this topic.
The question has been asked and answered AD NAUSEUM for you.
You have no interest in the answer, as is evidenced by your lack of a response after starting this thread.

JWs Not Allowed to Post on Websites?
by StandFirm inthis seems to be a favorite topic to bring up to any witnesses who post on any website where there are any opposers, either here or topix or anywhere.. so, here is the one and only place i will be discussing it.
who can prove that witnesses are specifically told not to post on websites about them?.

Standfirm:
palmtree67: Okay, when does "advise" constitute a command?
Good question. That's really the issue here, isn't it?
Anyone can advise anyone else on practically anything, right? When does it become a command? When the "advice" is given at the same time as citing your authority and the consequences of not following the advice.......it becomes a command.
For example: Palmtree can advise you to not post on this site. You likely wouldn't view that as a command.
But when the Governing Body, (who insists they speak for the Almighty of the Universe, and who say that obedience to them is obedience to God, and that failure to comply with all they say will result in your everlasting death) advise you to not post on this site............
I think that's different. It's the perceived "authority" behind the advice given.
So I assume you DON'T feel the Governing Body has that authority, or you wouldn't be here. And that's cool. I just think you should admit it and we can all move on.

*** km 7/07 p. 3 Question Box ***
Question Box
? What are the dangers of using the Internet to associate with someone we do not know?A number of Web sites have been designed for people to meet and correspond over the Internet. Many of these sites allow individuals to create and post their own profile, which may include pictures and other personal information. People who view the profile can then make contact. Such Web sites are very popular among young people, and some youths in the congregation have used them to interact with others who claim to be Jehovah’s Witnesses.It is easy for a person whom we meet over the Internet to be deceptive about his identity, his spirituality, or his motives. (Ps. 26:4) An individual claiming to be one of Jehovah’s Witnesses may actually be an unbeliever, a disfellowshipped person, or even an active apostate. (Gal. 2:4)
LOL

I think this is just her initial reaction.
Once you start fading and she sees that life goes on......it will get easier for her.
But I agree with maybe just eliminating service for now, and the odd meeting. To ease her into it.
Good luck!

Here a distinction is made between the Society and the organization.
To prove your point, you provided 2 Watchtower quotes.
Please provide scriptural support.
Where did Jesus say that his true followers would have an organization with two (or more) distinctive parts?

The TWO BABYLONS to the NGO fiasco: looking at how they got there
by Terry inhere i have reverse engineered what the proclaimer's book does.
they disconnect all the connections and place the pieces of their history out of order and context.
this defuses causes and effects.

Yes, my grandparents had that book and they told me they ordered it through the congregation's literature desk. My grandfather used it occasionally in service and quoted from it often. I flipped through the pages of it when I was visiting them and large parts of it had been underlined by my grandfather.
