questions from readers.
in the case of where a father or mother or son or daughter is disfellowshiped, how should such person be treated by members of the family in their family relationship?p.c., ontario, canada.. we are not living today among theocratic nations where such members of our fleshly family relationship could be exterminated for apostasy from god and his theocratic organization, as was possible and was ordered in the nation of israel in the wilderness of sinai and in the land of palestine.
The purpose of observing the disfellowship order is to make the disfellowshiped one realize the error of his way and to shame him, if possible,
I mean really?
"The law of the land and God's law through Christforbid us to kill apostates, even though they be members of our own flesh-and-blood family relationship
Yes, very bizarre!
john 14:14new international version (1984).
the kingdom interlinear translation uses the westcott-hort text, and that's how it reads in the kit.
the kit's interlinear reads as follows: "if ever anything you should ask me in the name of me this i shall do.
exactly Saco! You need to put in more hours in field service, personal study, and prayer. LOL So put these doubts on the backburner, do not speak of them to anyone. If you are right, these changes will be made thru the proper channel. Your job is to wait on Jehovah to do this and be obedient to the FDS.
Oh God, I got to puke!
So funny Isaac!
it's been about going on 2yrs that i've been df'd and not even 1yr that i stopped going to the khall at all...but...i'm proud to say that as of last night i was going through my phone and decided that i needed to just cut out all those people that didn't matter anymore!
you know, the old jw 'friends' (use that term loosely) whose numbers i've held onto all this time and don't need anymore.
i mean, never going to bother with these people again.
I actually thought people here were going to start shunning me because now I'm one of you and therefore not special anymore. The "love-bombing" would end, and I'd be left on an endless treadmill of posting and trying to keep up with the "national average" of posts and all the apostafests and so on.
Say what, sd-7?
Yeah, clarify??

Thanks to Walk Tall for the article and my mom for the other.
it's true...from the platform during the service meeting he informed the congregation of how there apostate sites that you can find just by looking for jehovah's witnesses on your search bar.
well, that's exactly what led me here, and i haven't been dissappointed yet!
now, i wonder if he checks in here...hello, brother school overseer...i'm the brother in the 6th row on the right...my right, not yours.. i wonder how many just had to look as a result of his saying that..
Well he blew it. I didn't even know about sites like this until someone on here I contacted from somewhere else told me about it. So him announcing that from the platform is going to save the "friends" a lot of trouble finding it! Great job Brother Elder!

check out my video about why i did it and what the response was by the elder who handed me the emblems that night..
Was the wine good?? Can't see your video link.
already had doubts from the time i got pubes... but i was about 15 and we were studying the revelation "book" for the upteenth time.
i realized for every actual bible verse they qouted there was 2-3 paragraphs of conjecture, assumption, faulty logic and just plain stupidity.
that's when i began to plan my escape.
I wish I could say the moment I knew it was crap was due to doctrine, but I was so naive to just believe everything I was told by the "slave". But when the "elders" took my minor child into a room for questioning WITHOUT the permission of even one parent or the knowing of his parents, I knew this was bull sh*& and illegal! It hit me then how dangerous this cult is/could be to minor children. If they could do that to a 17 year old boy, what could men do to my then 12 year old daughter?? My son didn't think twice about telling them no. That really scared me and for anyone who is still in, you should be afraid to.
