The worst thing that can happen,,, I wonder at times is if every JW no longer can be available to do anything. I mean offer any free time like FS,, meetings,,, attend conventions.
If no JW could do any of these things,,, the Borg collapses.
in the past, we used to hear talks on:.
avoiding sexual immorality and porn, as well as masturbation and other sexual practices.
why evolution cannot possibly be true.

so just what is the latest directive on shunning?.
asking for a family member.
St George thanks for clarifying.
Removal still = ostracizing(shunning)

Relaxed rules toward "" shunning"" policies and ostracizing those who dont believe anymore or those who no longer abide by Borg theology or principles???
NO.
Just called a different term for some government(s).
Every Dub knows that ""removal" comes with the same subsequent practices of being shunned & ostracized. The public/ governments aren't fully educated on this . But,,, they think that scrapping the disfellowshipping arrangement is agreeable.
february 2025 study wt doubles down on the org's lie that being killed by a guinness truck etc.
3 "jesus likened sins to “debts.” when we sin, it is as if we incur a debt to jehovah.
we have to pay the penalty for the sin.
The more times you say something over & over & over again,,,, it becomes palatable.
Thata part of indoctrination..
Thats why assembly,, convention & meetings are so long and dragged out..
Because the more its repeatedly said,,, you can manipulate people.

""Disfellowshipping"". They called it scriptural. But it's nowhere found in the bible. "" That word ""disfellowship"" has been removed from JWBORG's vocabulary in light of what happened in Norway recently.
They now substituted that former term with ""removed".
With all the subsequent practices of borg theology of ostracizing.
"Disfellowshipped" given a paint job in a way. Replaced with "removed".

The assigned elders should call the Service Department or legal department or whatever before any privileges???
How about just calling your local police department??
About child sexual abuse???

i am not aware of how many of you are familiar with the danish case of a jehovah's witness who was hospitalized after a tragic accident where he fell several floors from a scaffolding where he was working.. the patient was admitted to the intensive care unit and was conscious (albeit somewhat confused) for the first three weeks.
True enough !!

Suing someone who has saved your life????
Enter,,,,,, cognitive dissonance !!!
This is what you can do with,,, cognitive dissonance.
JWs proclaim they value "life" and adhere to Gods' commands of life & safety.
Cognitive dissonance. We have 2 opposing standards of beliefs.
With cognitive dissonance you can keep followers in this dumb, trance like state where you're afraid to grow a brain,, think critically & question things !!
