at what point does a jehovah’s witness cease to be a jehovah’s witness?
what if a witness doesn't believe some of the official teachings of the governing body but remains silent on these subjects to avoid being disfellowshipped?
is he or she an apostate to the faith?
Beware of elders ''sheppharding gifts'' allright,
There was an elders somewhere who disclosed that in the ""Shepphard the Flock'' book the elders usually come in groups of 2,,,in order to sniff-out ''apostate''' thoughts or ''doubts''.
Be extremely 'wary', when elders offer 'encouragement'' or a 'visit' with you . Just dodge them, or don't' be home.
There is an 'ulterior' motive behind the visit. Not much good can come of it.
note: photos can be found on the blue envelope channelhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nakezkhqbmtony and susan morris are living in lumberton, north carolina.
a real estate document on the robeson county website is filed:.
the religious order of jehovah's witnesses has provided a "life estate" for them.they can live in this townhouse until they are deceased or choose to move away and in either case the ownership becomes entirely the property of jehovah's witnesses.
"What about all the other Bethelites that were sent back to the field who didn’t get a house bought for them that could live in rent free forever? "
Lest we forget there is a different ''tier-ranking'' in JW Dublland.
The holier or higher up you go in the Borg, the treatment is more favourable.
More lucrative deals like,,we have just witnessed in that of AM3.
The lower you go in the Borg,,,the more like rift raft you are.. Disposable, more expendible, useless or easily replaced.
Henceforth, you get more pampered and treated lucratively amongst the 'holies' when you are 'expended' or fired.
i think it was a john cedars video or someone else’s where the point was brought up that only baptised jws will be saved?
then one talk about kids of baptised jws hope they will make it but even them don’t know.
most jws probably think that some good people who are not baptised may make it through, but this is not official teaching?.
When you hear JW families pressuring their children to get baptized they often commend them and tell them they are making a wise ''choice''.
Excuse me. There is no ''choice'' in the matter. When you hear governing body members influencing families to revoke teenagers their drivers license by a certain age,,threatening with fear-mongering armageddon rhetoric, and threats like these,,,,there is no choice.
And adolescents getting kicked-out of home for some minor infraction after getting baptized due to pressure,,,,there is no choice.
When there is a threat involved their is no choice,
i have heard from a few ppimis and several pimos that the attendants who are stationedly-assigned to the front entrances of the borgvenues (cahs and other arenas) have been checking to see if any persons (members and non-member visitors) have badges.
on the other hand, if these persons don't have one, this is what i was told that these dubs do this: corral around the non-badge-wearing individual and interrogate he/she/them plus questioning them, "why are you here?!".
also, even if that person or persons have an invitation plus showed it to these dubs, these toy cops still do that procedure.
Most if not attendants are company men.
Like secret service agents,,,but only acting for the Borgs behalf.
They carry radios often wearing sunglasses and acting tough.

There was a video,,,the speaker was clearly saying ""only baptized JWs will survive Armageddon",,,then he reiterated the same thing but slower,,,,'"only baptized JWs will survive Armageddon"""
I know the video you're talking about.
A few years ago,,,just before the pandemic.
I just cant remember who or when that was. I cant begin to comb through the videos to find it.
But the way he was talking,,,,the very intent of the 'speaker' was very clear. To fear and control.

Talk about being "love-bombed"".
Being tackled to the ground.
Thats what I call being love-bombed alright.

It seems like there's at least 2 or e attendants at every swinging door.
Its like the paranoia complex is in overdrive.
Or they think attendees aren't capable of opening a door.
But seriously,,,entrances and concourses are teaming with attendants.
I dont know if its true,,,but there's been talk of metal detectors.
And,,,,if you're not wearing a lapel badge...
yes, there’s a post on reddit.
it says that after a zoom meeting a request was made to baptized publishers to give $20 apiece to fix this elder’s car.. while this sounds highly irregular to me and not necessarily approved by the religion, i am not at all surprised at the nerve.
this, unfortunately, seems to be the direction that things are going there!
LHG,,,Ive always said that the Borg is its own worst enemy.🤣
this comment was made on reddit, perhaps protesting is starting to get the witnesses' attention.. it amazed me how many jehovah's witnesses exiting the convention were reading the protester's signs.
some of the witnesses were taking pictures of the signs.
jws were going by and smiling and giving a thumbs up.
You wonder how lifers and hardcore JWs are going to behave if things keep going as they are?
That very though should be sobering.
A lot of JWs are still "numb" and cant think for themselves. NO critical thinking skills mindset,,at all.
Bearing that in mind. About following instructions whether or not they seem "strategic" from a human standpoint or not. That's just chilling.
Considering hardcore,loyal JWs swallow everything as the Borg dictates.
Makes one wonder. Scarey in a way.
simple enough question for a jw to answer, because the org has told them for over 100 years that, .
a) jesus would reign for 1000 years, and.
b) that his reign began in 1914 when he became king.
The Borg always speaks from both sides of its mouth.
In order to make gullible/naieve people believe anything. So people have a hard time defending inherited doctrines.
That's how a cult built on sand survives.
