  From that other website:

  Table of Contents

  A Letter From the Governing Body

  1. "The Lost One I Will Search For"

  2 Anxiety--"Hard Pressed in Every Way"

  3 Hurt Feelings--When We Have "Cause for Complaint"

  4 Guilt--"Cleanse Me From My Sin"

  5 Return to "the Shepherd and Overseer of Your Souls"

  Just showing that they can't acknowledge that someone could leave for a any reason other than being stumbled or guilty.

  I wouldn't be surprised if after a one-time "outreach" to those who have left, they don't declare them all DFd or DAd

  There is always speculation that they are trying to push out or flush out inactive people. They are doing many things lately that make this seem more plausible.

  Serve Jehovah get everlasting life don't serve get everlasting death

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  jehovah's personality is explosive with no guarantees he won't blow a head gasket and destroy your ass for some petty offense.. i know the jws claim jehovah always keeps his word and once you get to heaven or pass the final test you got guaranteed everlasting life.

  but when we look in the bible jehovah seems to kill even his worshipers over trifles, so who is to say that someday he won't get pissed off and destroy the whole human race and start all over again?.

  while i don't believe the bible or what the wt corporation teaches about jehovah personality, if what they say is true then i would much rather die than live an eternity under the whims of such a capricious jehovah.. the reward system the bible has promoted is really terrible and not to be grasped at..

  or killing the person trying to protect your ark.

  But when they came to the threshing floor of Na′con, Uz′zah thrust his hand out to the Ark of the true God and grabbed hold of it,+ for the cattle nearly upset it.

  At that Jehovah’s anger blazed against Uz′zah, and the true God struck him down+ there for his irreverent act,+ and he died there beside the Ark of the true God.

  just finished watching the jwbroadcast for february.

  on the part of the jwcart, i couldn't help but notice that the cart came out from a nice expensive home.

  certainly not a place a window washer would be living in.

  All of the houses used in recent videos are VERY nice.

  The one used in the recent Prodigal son video has got to me a million plus.

  I have been saying for a while now that you can walk away and be inactive, but as soon as you show you no longer believe they will pounce on any reason to Df you. the only reason I can think of is to keep people from asking questions. Even if you have been forgotten in action, they still remember your face, or house, and if a car group go by they have to gossip. If that gossip is about anything the org is against it stirs the hornet's nest and the only way to quit the congregants in to DF you so they can show that you can't get a way with it.
