i hear of these stories of elders swapping wives, i remember when i was young hearing of three elders in florida doing this and getting dfed.

my question is this how is it possible to bring this up in conversation?

it seems impossible, how can there be multi elders that know each other willing and the wives?

Why Did Romania's Jehovah's Witnesses Disfellowship The Governing Body For Apostasy?

2. beliefs
there is a large group of jehovah's witnesses that broke away from the watchtower society in the 1990s.

can someone explain to all the interested jwn lurkers and faders, why these romanian and other eastern european witnesses disfellowshiped the governing body in new york?.

i received a email from a member claiming to be part of this group, i was told they "disfellowshiped the governing body" for disobedience to jehovah god and not following the fine examples of brother russell, rutherford and knorr.

And Just Like That, FamilyRadio has....

....a new website landing page, without any mention whatsoever of the may 21 fiasco.. i guess the bible's guarantee was worth less than the warranty of a used car from a salvage yard..... their tv ad is still live on vimeo, although not in english.

(may 21, 2011 from family radio on vimeo.).

anyone involved with web design knows that this transition does not happen overnight - sure the redirects take a second to put in place but the whole new website was prepared in advance....so much for faith, huh?.

many years ago before assembly halls we used to hire large halls for circuit assemblies.

the public talk, always after lunch on the sunday was always the big (though boring) event.

the chairman sat on the stage all the time whilst the speaker for the hour long talk droned on.
