jws should "not go beyond what is written".. please list examples of how they do not follow that bible instruction..
Today on the leaked branch office documents I read ""Quit mixing in company with anyone called a brother who ....IS DISFELLOWSHIPPED"
no completion of the real quote just their BS talk about adding to the things written Corinthians 15.8

a hilarious stupid wa message is being circulated amongst jws in my area / country.. i had a hearty laugh at the ignorance and stupidity and brainwashed mentality, different people may express different emotions so you have been warned.
day one after armageddon it seems ages since we last heard the gunshots and screams, today has been really quiet.
the last few weeks have been sheer terror.
I find this to be extremely disturbing. Anyone who can be happy with this description is devoid of human emotion & deeply indoctrinated in cult mentality! I'm an RN, & can seriously remember all of the patients I've seen die in the past 20 years. It's very upsetting, although I may not have known them personally. Also, when someone dies, we have to wrap the body to send to the morgue. This involved moments of silence, prayers by some staff, and ultimately nothing but respect for the life that was lost, regardless of the individual's religious beliefs. Who really shows love of neighbor? Not this cult!
i've been df'd for about six weeks now.no one has broken the obligation to "honor the disfellowshipping decree".that's the way notorious co paul kohler describes the "loving arrangement" that is jw shunning.
( just "serving" napa ).
so, my wife's family has been "loving me" ( barf ) when out of nowhere, one of them sends home homemade soup for me.... well, i got super pissed.
Ring her up to say thanks.Don't play their game.
Tell her you are not ever going back so she needs to at least start treating you like a" tax collector or a man of the nations."
the other day the glass in my oven door exploded and sent glass into the next room, fortunately i wasn't peering in at the time.
about a year go the previous oven door shattered one morning.
the oven was cold.
I'm thinking, is your name Damien by any chance??😜
continuing a topic that is dear to my heart because of my experience as both a shunner and a shunnee .... some people seem to get very agitated when i talk about the responsibility people have to make the right choices and that despite all the wrongs within the wts, people themselves have a role to play and some personal responsibility for the experience.. notice i said "some" responsibility, not "complete" - this doesn't absolve the wts for the things they do wrong in any way shape or form.
so please don't get argumentative about possible meanings and absolutes - of course the wts has a significant role to play but we need to decide what we're trying to achieve here and why the personal choice is so important.. i'm also not talking about actual crimes that the wts should answer for.
if they cover up child abuse for instance, they absolutely should be reported immediately.
It's not hard to drive a bus through the idea that elders are inspired and infallible and must always be obeyed. There are even scriptures of people rightly disobeying the divinely appointed rulers of the day who were doing the wrong thing.
What need is there for a bible-trained conscience if they simply have to do what the elders say?
Really good point, this threads a keeper 👍
i'm quite new to this site, & have realised some members have a union jack symbol under their avatar.
i don't.. could we have a "show of hands" from any uk members?
i've already found several by reading older posts..

is this supposed to placate the ones who have been recently fired?
is this a sign of the aging jw leadership?
ps I thought Jesus was gonna give the orders in the new world - not fricking idiots like Herd & AM III.
I cant believe the way they keep bigging up the GB - Im an older girl who hasnt been around dubs for a while - its terrible, sick!
I'm beginning to wonder if the dubs are gonna take things into their own hands at some point in the future, say that they have revieved orders from JAH HQ to arm themselves up Wacco style & just start armaggedon themselves !

Actually, compared to many people these dudes have had a great life, got in early, all pals together we're gonna live forever yay! - thats not going to happen anymore (except a very few)
They are just facing what many old guys do on retirement - its just a fact of getting old.
The difference is, normally in the 'spiritual' trade surely their experience is more important than some young guys health, I mean priests dont retire do they or rabbis. Still, at least they get a stipend, more than most do.
who won, and why?.
the rebel..
Just checked out the summary of Coftys natural evil post
Love this analogy in the 'rational arguments' ( trivializing human suffering)
Sums up the JW veiw of God - this story is effectively what they go out and preach
Nice one Cofty👍
Imagine that scientists developed a pill that would eradicate all unwelcome memories and create a feeling of bliss. How would you judge a scientist who imposed the most horrific suffering on millions of people, as unwilling subjects of his experiment, but who offered some of his victims of the magic pills when it was over?
