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?.
""“Our CO told the assembly that if we had faith in Jehovah, we would have faith in the GB and we would OBEY and take the vxx. They put in a WT study ( I think July of 22 issue ) that Jesus directed them as to c19 protection. “ ""
& as some GB helper said in some broadcast;
""unity takes place over what may seem 'right' "".
There you have it. Blind obedience. Almost scary. I believe many a dubs would do ''something that was not right'''.
in 2008 i was baptized into the truth after leaving a trinitarian faith.
during my eight years as a jehovah’s witness, i strived to keep the standards set by the bible, wt and the faithfull and discrete slave.
but unfortunately, the congregational elders from the kingdom hall i attended were not keeping to jehovah’s standards, hence, wrote my letter of resignation.
"In Search of Christian Freedom".
Beautiful book, well researched, methodical and amazing recounts of personal experiences.
Kudos to this book. Hope it gets re-released.
On a personal note....I thought it was more hard - hitting than "Crisis of Conscience"" . CoC was more about "organization structure"'.
Of course,,I'm not taking anything away from CoC....it is a masterpiece also!!!
my name is ari matthew davies.
i am a life experience consultant counselor i have a doctor's degree theology psychology clinical addictions and computer sciences.
i am also baptized as well as jehovah's witnesses.. if you have a question i've got a lot of experience and a lot of real life training.
"Many e his “degrees” are from reading the Watchtower and Awake! For 10 years. ""
Good point.
If he stands behind the WT's claim that the WT and Awake! are the equivalent of a ''university education'',,,then he has every point to be taken seriously.
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 he will rematerialize as a reincarnation in the Vatican.

Because once you read Ray Franz's books....you then realize what you been "hoodwinked" to believe,,is a lie.
You cant deny it.
it seems the watchtower are ploughing ahead with bigger and better film studios but come on, they really have no idea.. how come all the people in times past look like healthy, middle class americans/ europeans/australians in costume?
get real.
even a visit to rural india today would give a hint of how people probably lived back then.
As the Borg continues to build larger and larger drama and video studios. As the 'end draws nearer and nearer' and as the skies grow dark.
The cognitive dissonance must give the sheeple a cerebral hemhorage.

"Is there a way you can read In search of Christian Freedom by Raymond Franz and remain in this religious organization? 😂 ""
Um, no.

norwegian jehovah's witnesses are in court this wednesday and thursday.
they are fighting the government's decision to remove their registration as a religious community.. .
Thats probably what all these recent elders meetings and updates to the not so secret "Sheppard the Flock of God" book are all about.

Its good to see Scandinavian countries looking at the Borg and it's harmful practices at least.
people who work with children in england will be legally required to report child sexual abuse or face prosecution under government plans.. .
the move - which is subject to a consultation - was recommended last year by the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse (iicsa).. .
the home secretary told the bbc she wanted to correct one of the "biggest national scandals".. .
They recently had an all day eldubs meeting.
It was probably nothing more than a stunt to prepare the eldubs for a windfall of lawsuits and legal ramifications.
