  How to be Thrown under the JW Bus

  i think we produced this by group think and bears reiterating.. if you don’t want to be thrown under the bus in jw land, you best not.

  1. verbalize disagreement with any official teaching of the society.. 2. celebrate your child’s birthdays.

  3. celebrate christ’s birthday on december 25th or any other date.. 4. socialize with others who have already been thrown under the bus.. 5. take up smoking.

  ""Bottom line, do not speak against the elders because they are appointed by holy spirit ...""

  If I could hit that 'like' button I would 100 times.

  probably but they’ve sent him back pretty darn quick!

  i have from a very reliable source that he attends one of the poughkeepsie ny congregations.

  i think there are 5 congregations there might be worth paying a visit if anyone lives near there..

  Maybe AM3 was already 'raptured', to Costa Rica, Cancun or the Caymen Islands.

  Just hanging - out with non JW friends is a sure way to get black - balled as 'bad association' or 'questionable' in nature.

  Yes. It seems there is a 'pre-shunning' mentality to irregular, inactive ones. Soft shun, cold shoulder.

  I don't see how the Borg can do away with blood transfusion policy, shunning and two - witness rule without the Borg collapsing in on itself. Those 3 things alone are the most damaging. Seems if the Borg does away with any one of those, the Borg collapses.

  "At least on Sunday, it was over by noon and you had the rest of the day to do enjoyable things,"

  Like Sunday brunch after the morning Sunday meeting.

  As your stomach growls through the WT study thinking ahead of scrambled eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausages. Or on holiday weekends thinking ahead of gravy, turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce. Like Easter Sunday,,this weekend sitting through the WT study.

  Obtaining this ''Shepherding Flock of God'' book is more obtainable than ever. It's well known, obviously.

  It's updated thought frequently,,by the time someone downloads it & prints it off,,,it''s already obsolete. My understanding new copies of this ''secret'' book come out in MAY.

  IT will be interesting to see the wording of Df'ed or DA'd ones, regarding relatives,,family and alike. I imagine just more paragrapphs or pages on child sexual abuse, or lawsuits about CSA and legal entanglements.

  It's just amazing that by the time an updated form of the 'Shepherding the Flock of God' is ready for pdf, that it's already out - of - date. I imagine legal entanglements gallore.

  Would I be disfellowshiped for this?

  by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

  1. watchtower

  if a publisher openly told the elders that they thought the gb were wrong about some or a lot of things, but said they will not share these thoughts with anyone else then would this be a case of disassociation disgfellowship?.

  my guess is lots of elders meetings and shepherding calls to try to get you to say something they could use against you.. but what would be the sin in which you are not repented?.

  the only reason to be dissed is non repentance?.

  ""but you follow direction even if it’s very harmful ""

  that's the potential harm with 'mind control' and 'us vs. them' mentality.
