  Request!----Atlantis Is There Anywhere Else The Watchtower Admits?

  by Atlantis in

  atlantis, is there anywhere else that the watchtower admits that disfellowshipping or excommunication is pagan?.

  sure, they said the same thing back in 1880 about a lot of churches being like the beast for practicing excommunication.. as papacy established the priesthood over the church, soprotestantism has established almost the same, and there isno opportunity for the body to edify itself, every joint takingpart.

  true, there is a seeming show of liberty at prayer meetings,&c., but it is only upon the surface, for the ordainedpastor is to watch zealously lest anything contrary to theteachings of his church should be expressed, and if so tosilence the audacious member at once, for the church creedis the rule, not the word of god.

  The sad thing about all this is JWs don't realize they are victims.

  JW Gone Bad

  "ExJW Youtube video Channels & viewership are also on the increase in the 2023 EXJW Service Year...especially in the South American exJW community. Many exJW YouTuber videos have tens of thousands, others hundreds of thousands with some reaching well over into the millions of viewers. Let the EXJW growth continue...Yay!"

  The cats out of the bag.

  You heard AM3 a year or so ago talking about keeping your curiosity in control. I'm sure he was referring about the videos on youtube and what not.

  Peoplle are watching. The internet is the Borgs Spanish flu, Covd-19 or whatever. It's their undoing.

  What the Borg fears most is a) everyone of it's victims becomes PIMO all at once. There goes it's money and power and b) losing it's tax free exempt status.

  The Borg will ultimately collapse in on itself with one fell swoop if a) & b) take place.

  Deservedly with it"s practises and policies.

  "I’d be surprised if the Org wasn’t worried about everything."'

  As someone stated sometime ago, the Borg realizes that 99.99% of it's followers are NOT stupid.

  The Borg knows this,,,but by manipulating it's victims with fear, the Borg can control it's victims thinking.. The Borg can NEVER afford alll it's followers to becoming PIMO or losing it's tax exempt status.

  There goes the GB's comfy lifestyle right out the window.

  Independent thinking is not on par with the Borg theology.

  Independent thinking leads to cognitive dissonance.

  Cognitive dissonance leads to doubt.

  Doubt leads to apostasy.

  The Borg has to have that element of thinking done for its victims.

  Without the thinking done for them,,,they lose their power and control.

  Then comes loss of members.,ultimately loss of $$$$

  The higher-ups depend on that $$$ to sustain their lifestyle and control .

  The business model of the pre-internet era is gone.

  No longer sustainable.

  They have to plagiarize similar online religions to reinvent themselves for survival.

  An online internet,, subscription based,,700club-like religion.

  They have no choice.

  With a subscription fee,,,,most importantly of course.

  Like I said. They will say every word other than "tithing".

  They will do every form of "tithing" ,,but never utter that word.

  Because how dare they!! Use similar practices of other Religions.

  But really they aren't any different.

  They just act like every other religion. But just don't use the same words. Just act the same.

  Another place where the Bible doesn't make sense?

  You start to realize that its man made.

  You get these contradictions through-out it.

  The Borg is ultimately spooked when there are any hints of a loss of tax free status.

  What is the most important thing to the Borg? Its $$$$

  Next is its image and then free labor.
