Daniel Kokotajlo’s Apostasy enters UK Top 15 box office films
by steve2 infantastic news just in: daniel kokotajlo’s film apostasy about a jw family facing the blood issue and - ahem - a daughter who apostatises - was released late last week in the united kingdom.
even though it received limited release in its first weekend and is going to be in more cinemas this weekend, it has entered the top 15 films at no.
12 - a magnificent result for a highly acclaimed film made on a shoe string.

Okay so he did not use the words governing body but is of course implied since they are the ones doing the telling

"Who will conquer the world in the 1970's?" ....Circuit assembly announced KM July 1970
by krismalone ini found this gem in the watchtower online library that now goes further back than the year 2000 publications.
an extra bit of evidence for those cult members that deny that their governing body gods lied to them.. even a lapel card was printed for all attendees to wear (see my avatar).
kingdom ministry 1970 july in the announcements section.. ◆ a new circuit assembly program is scheduled to begin in september.

Dawkins on Jehovah's Witnesses' "Creation" book
by slimboyfat inhas anyone read dawkins new book the god delusion yet?
he discusses the creation book on pages 119-121. he says that he discusses this particular tract only because it has had such a wide circulation - no fewer than 6 of which have been sent to him personally.
well i think he has at least 7 copies by now because i personally know one witness who sent him one following his recent the roof of all evil?

who has been out the longest?
by stan livedeath inwho has been out of the cult the longest ?.
i'll start--i resigned in 1971, but attended occasionally as a non-interested husband to keep the wife sweet, untill my last circuit assembly in autumn 1980. no connection with the cult since then.
so--its either 47 or 38 years, depending on how you see it.. which begs the question--why am i on this site now ?.

Copy and pasting might overcome the tracking code trap but not the canary trap. With the Human Resources available at Washtowels modern day slavery camps- I wouldn’t put it past them to slightly alter the wording of each boe letter to catch the leakers.
Current day word processors even the free ones have infinite ways they can vary a document without you ever noticing with your eyes, line spacing , font type, font size, kerning, and so forth and so forth and all under automated macro / program control.

Shunning: Reasoning With JW's
by The Fall Guy inperhaps this line of questioning could agitate a jw's thinking.
it can't hurt.. you: is shunning a biblical teaching?.
jw: yes.. you: so it must be god's law?.

Papal dispensation. Papal dispensation is a reserved right of the pope that allows for individuals to be exempted from a specific Canon Law. Dispensations are divided into two categories: general, and matrimonial. Matrimonial dispensations can be either to allow a marriage in the first place, or to dissolve one.
Watchtower governing body dispensation. Watchtower governing body dispensation is a reserved right of the 7 men that allows for individuals to be exempted from their shunning policy. Since exemptions to the shunning policy is not biblically defined the seven men have lovingly added to scripture by providing for family members to associate with disfellowshipped members of their family as long as such ones are living under the same roof.

YOU: Well, according to your religion, if a JW who lives at home with their parents and siblings gets disfellowshipped, their family association continues as normal. But if that individual later moved into an apartment next door, they would be regarded as if they were dead. Can you show me in the Bible where this discriminatory "law of God" is laid out?
A great unexplainable paradox that I have never heard before
