on page 3 the question box asks: what should you do if directed to stop preaching?.
the answer?
"in some instances, police have approached publishers who were sharing in some form of the ministry, informed them that they were violating the law, and directed them to stop.
mouthy, you seem to start to fit in the "bitter and old" category, eh?
is this girl really a jw, and what will happen to her in her congregation after this.............. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baeepruo1go.
shes not a JW, get over it.
without disfellowhsipping they wouldnt have the power they do
interesting how demeaning some people turn out to be.... when they loudly proclaim someone ELSE is in violation of the rules when they themselves are taking an impossible to misinterpret stance in constant defiance of the rules.
but, cliques and judgment seem to persist here as they did in the borg.
Spike, it seems apparent you need some help - if you really do, and you are in the US, help abounds! you just have to seek it out.
as far as the point of this forum, it is misleading to think its a forum for JWs - but of course thats the image it initially puts forth, and then when you have a thread about going back, or perhaps a positive of the WTS post (maybe one point when the person mostly opposes them) you will see fire!
and i think its awfully ignorant for anyone to suggest this guy is nuts, or is disobeying the rules of the forum and should be booted out. Seems you havent learned as much as you proclaim if you still retain this mindset.
If you ever want to have a discussion, pm me. Id be glad to talk to you.
does anybody else get mad, when something rotten in the borg is exposed, and witless apologists question the motive of the whistleblower?.
"they must be an evil apostate filled with anger and an axe to grind" they say.. why can they never admit that some people believe that the wtbts is truly dangerous and evil - they are not speaking up about the facts they know because they are evil resentful apostates, but they truly want to protect the public.. they refuse to acquiesce in evil and want to stand up for what they believe to be right, not just as an anti-jw knee jerk reflex.
do jws honestly think that nobody but them has good motives for exposing religious hypocrisy - including that of the witchtower?.
irony
news just broke that a pretty, blond 11 year old girl adbucted 18+ years ago was found.
her kidnapper kept her hidden for 18+ years, had 2 kids with her, and was picked up handing out religious literature at a college.
now, it surfaces that he has ties with the jehovah's witnesses.
read the story a bit more. as much as you would want it to be true, hes not a witness
i just want to share my happiness !.
the church i've been attending had scheduled last sunday for baptisms.
i was out of town for my family reunion & very disapointed over having to wait.
welcome to a different cult. probably better than the jws, but a different cult nonetheless.
recently, there was a very nice thread in which one of our posters apologized for having the temerity to challenge barbara anderson.. i thought it was very nice to see that they made up and put the personal stuff aside.. however, i felt the need to call it like i really feel it - i was very put off by the barbara anderson reply in which she plugged her new promotional meeting.
it brought back memories of that horrid little affair from a couple of years back when she kept posting up "the greatest new thing about blood which will bring down the watchtower society is just around the corner -- and i could tell you but then i would have to kill you, etc."..
just like another jehovah's witnesses prophecy about the coming of the lord in our time.. i am beginning to wonder if perhaps the siren song of self-promotion is getting a little too strong for real life.. ok. i said it.. james - and saying it was not the easiest thing that i have ever done.
