dear brothers:

as you have admitted, the watch tower bible & tract society did join the united nations as a non government organization in 1992 ending in 2001, and according to the following watch tower this means that by their own actions they disassociated them selves from jehovahs organization which means that we must treat them like disfellowshiped ones.

in other words they are no longer jehovahs witnesses or have any right to that name.

In shock.

last night(tuesday) an announcement was made in our congregation that my husband and i had disassociated ourselves.

we did no such thing(for personal reasons) nor was any document whatsoever given to the local elders or anyone else.

nevertheless, that is what happened, apparently no letter of resignation is required.

1cor.4:2-4. is he just speaking to the 'holy ones' or is this meant for all of us?

Awaiting punishment.?

1. jw
2. experiences
yesterday november 3rd my husband and i had a visit from three elders( grand jury) as we had given them proof of the affliation of the wtbts to the un.they wanted us to recant and say the society was telling the truth (same old thing only for libary pass not ngo) and to say that the un were liars(all 30,000 who work there, apparently jw's also work there).

when we refused to compromise our integrity after 21/2 hours they departed saying they would let us know their decision!!.

we were obviously wrong when we thought only jehovah was the judge, so there you go, we were wrong again!

some time ago i came across on this site, so-called prophesies that the wtbts made .i.e.

a very good argument was given that this was absolute rubbish, obviously nowhere in the bible does it give dates, is there anyone out there who remembers it.

if so, please tell me where to find it again.
