New light on shunning?

by Mikejw in

one theory why tony was booted out was because he was a stickler for not changing the shunning doctrine.

he actually said the words we will never ever change it.. they are slowly deleting all of tony’s videos and now losing court cases and losing government hand outs in places like norway.. it’s looking very likely they will release new light on shunning policy after losing this latest one in norway.. .

what are the odds they coincidentally get new light from jehovah and lighten up their shunning policy ?.

^ They changed that in 1981 because of the famous Peter Gregerson/Ray Franz situation...

Forget 1914, the 1975 generation are now passing away!

by nowwhat? in

we still have quite a few elderly here that came in as young families in the late 1960's-early 70's because soon, yes very soon they would enter the new system and never grow old.

it's now one year away from 50 years since 1975. just in the last couple years i've seen them come down with alzheimer's, cancer, brain tumors, becoming invalid etc.

the children of them that are now around 60 are just so distraught at seeing their parents deteriorate.

In case someone has not seen this... Mouritz is now 96 years old, btw...

It is quite something that the youngest GB members were BORN when this talk was given!

by iloowy.goowy in

the history and impact of disfellowshipping and shunning (dr. m. james penton).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwdv1-apzlc.

the history and impact of disfellowshipping and shunning: a jehovah's witness inquisition by dr. m. james penton, 2003. recording of a discourse delivered at the " out of the watchtower - into christ" convention of former jehovah's witnesses in england and wales, where he discusses how the watchtower evolved its doctrine on disfellowshipping and shunning by twisting scripture, and the impact this has had on many watchtower victims.

Buzkid, they really do that on Beroean meetings? Kick people out? On what basis? That's disappointing to hear.

Later he became the coordinator of the Australian Branch. I wonder what he thinks about this talk now if he is still alive...

Still no U turn on vax mandates for all schools

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

you still have to be fully vaccinated to attend any theocratic schools.

elders and ministerial servants have their kingdom ministry school every year, the cobe of every congregation has to check that everyone is fully vaccinated.

after the school everyone will ask any bothers who were not there why not?

It is interesting how many witnesses have woken up because of this issue. I was just watching some new interviews on Beroean Pickets youtube channel and almost everyone mentioned that this was the last straw for them.

My favourite female protagonists: Ellen Ripley

by LoveUniHateExams in

ok, so another favourite female protagonist of mine is ellen ripley, played by sigourney weaver.

she just about overcame the xenomorph in ridley scott's alien (1979).

and she spent most of james cameron's aliens (1986) getting over her trauma.. here's some nice footage of newt calling ripley 'mommy' .... https://youtu.be/7fjana93kea.

Those 2 were both great films. It was such a shame that Newt's story didn't continue in the third one. David Fincher, the director of the 3rd one, hates that film with passion and doesn't even want to talk about it.

Just read that Carl Olof Jonsson died yesterday

by slimboyfat in

for newbies, who was carl olof jonsson?

he was a jw in sweden who was challenged by a householder in the 1960s, who pointed out to him that secular history books don’t agree with watchtower that jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bce, but instead place the event 20 years later.

the reason the date is important is because it is the starting date for jw chronology which leads to 1914 as the end of the gentile times, and the beginning of the last days, as jws understand it.

Nostromo

Sad indeed. His health had been quite poor for some years now, he lived with her wife in a nursing home, I believe.

I often wish internet and youtube had existed back in the 80s. Carl, Ray Franz, James Penton and all the other legends could have had their own youtube channels and could have exposed it all. But back then it was only books they could write and witnesses were too afraid to buy them.

Breaking News: Anthony Morris III no longer serving on the Governing Body

by WingCommander in

jw
friends

this has been announced on the jw's official website, in the "jw news" section.

this is not a joke.

anthony moron da turd is out as a gluttonous body member!

Nostromo

Maybe his sons said to him: Dad, I think every witness should partake like we do... and then Anthony mentioned that to the GB (and for once he would have been right) and was kicked out because or that...
