  Disfellowshipped People Are A Bad Lot

  by garyneal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a week prior to my wife being baptized she and i discussed the reasons why people are disfellowshipped.

  she says that people are disfellowshipped because they simply want to live their lives the way they want to and no longer submit to god's will.

  in other words, they want to do something that is immoral and goes against bible principles.

  Oh we already knew about this kind of stuff! Elder's never tell the authorities! They just tell their wives and kids so it can spread around the congregation as gossip.

  One of the mistakes a JW makes

  by gubberningbody in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is thinking that because he or she has not been bested at the door that this is a point in his or her favor that they have the "truth".

  what this thinking fails to take into account is that people are self-motivated and unless there is some compelling psychological payoff or some monetary payoff in making the sort of investment required to "defeat" the witness argument,(which rarely involves the whole) that they will rarely be engaged except by the few who haven't the mental acumen to understand what constitutes a worthwhile investment.. .

  the jw leaves with unwarranted satisfaction on these occasions imagining that this encounter is one more implicit vote in favor of "the truth".

  The other big mistake is that they listen to the interpretations of the scripture by the WBTS instead of really trying to get a grip of what the scripture is saying...

  I.E. "new light", all of the scriptures that are used to describe fulfilled prophecy in the revelation book

  This week's Bible Highlights, verbatim quote: "Jehovah is a Killer..."

  by Open mind in

  2. bible

  it's amazing what you notice when you go through the bible again with a changed worldview.

  this week's watchtower-assigned bible reading is the opening chapters of 1 samuel.

  this little gem just jumped off the page at me:.

  Are mentally ill people possessed by demons? Watchtower view.

  by ThomasCovenant in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  watchtower 15th march 1953 page 191.. ''there is no reason to think that they [demons] cannot possess persons today.. this is not to say that all those mentally sick are so possessed, for they are not.. mentally sick persons, however, in their weakened state, may present more vulnerable targets for their assaults and invasions.. some show evidence of demon possession, whereas others show evidences of merely mental sickness or nervous breakdown.

  '' (emphasis mine).

  i for one would not want to work with people with mental illness or depression just in case they were possessed by some of those pesky spirits.. .

  discoveringlife -

  They say 1 in 4 Americans has a dehibiliating disorder that will effect them GREATLY throughout their lives. 1 in 100 are skitzophrenic. 1 in 160 are autistic. Can you imagine how these people were treated in bible times?

  We think of depression and we have empathy for those who are afflicted yet one of the 7 deadly sins is "sloth"... Hmmmm..... I bet depression looks a lot like sloth.

  My point is the WBTS is just trying to be consistent with the bible which is completely outdated no matter how much they say it isn't.

  Having said that... they ARE bastards and you should do everything you can to bring the organization down! Rage against that machine!

  what do you think, would it ever get to the point where the pope would be forced to step down, if enough evidence linking him to mistakes in handling the cases comes to light?.
