Why Did Romania's Jehovah's Witnesses Disfellowship The Governing Body For Apostasy?
by Bubblegum Apotheosis inthere 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.

The schism happened over Romans 13:1-2 "Let every soul be in subjection to the superior authorities, for there is no authority except by God; the existing authorities stand placed in their relative positions by God. 2 Therefore he who opposes the authority has taken a stand against the arrangement of God; those who have taken a stand against it will receive judgment to themselves." The Society changed its doctrine in 1962, that the authorities are the country and its laws. Romanians being under communis oppression back then thought, this was caused by a communist infiltration among the highest ranks, and some members severed all links to the GB, because they had no reliable source of verifying the information. Then it evolved to a full distrust to the core JW teachings. They stuck on the '60s level of the teaching, making them even more weird than the mainstream JW sect we know now.
A couple of their weird teachings: women always cover their head, when in public, they think, printing in color is against the Bible principles (because the Bible has no color images), and they call themselves "The True Jehovah's Witnesses".

And Just Like That, FamilyRadio has....
by Yan Bibiyan in....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?.

I have a feeling Camping thinks the world will simply forget about his prediction by October... The website was really purged of anything re his prophecy. For ex. if you check out the Literature section, there are several books written by him, but none involving May 21. That is not the way someone acts if he thinks he was almost right, just had a few details wrong. If he thinks the humanity was really judged on May 21, then his whole website is pointless.

Do you have a smartphone? Because that's the only possibility I see, and even then you would have to search for an app that can do this (technically it is possible to do it on a smartphone btw).

I also remember several cases, where the method to identify yourself as a JW was to show your no-blood card.
JW <=> no-blood card, absolutely nothing optional about it.
