  Why disfellowship must be eliminated for the survival of the WT itself

  by TheScientist in

  this topic i digress about why the watchtower relaxing the rules of disfellowship is essential for its survival.

  many things i'm going to say are not my ideas, some are, the point is, i'm condensing everything in a logical and concise way.. the first thing we have to keep in mind is that the wt's main objective in instituting disfellowship has always been not to lose members because of the damage that a dissident could do, or to avoid gaining new members because of the bad reputation of a confessed sinner in the his/her region.

  in the end, the more active members, the more money to the coffers.. in this case of disfellowship due to apostasy, to avoid any spark, texts were sought out of context that even prohibited saying "hi".

  If there’s any true justice to the universe, he and Rutherford are cellmates in Hell.

  It would certainly be Hell for the devil to have to deal with those two assholes

  90 DAY DISFELLOWSHIPPING!!!

  by DisgruntledFool in

  has anyone else caught this tidbit in the new s-395 instructions?:.

  "if the individual is not an apostate or actively promoting wrongdoing, they will also inform him that they would like to meet with him again in three months to determine if he has had a change of heart.

  in some cases, but not all, the committee may determine that there is basis for reinstating the individual at that time".

  It seems they are lightening up a bit.

  It used to be a year before you could be reinstated

  A year is a long time

  once new relationships are formed outside the borg the less chance of people coming back

  Once you’ve got that college degree a good job and a “worldly” support group chances are you ain’t coming back

  New light

  things are changing so rapidly.

  there is so much confusion now.. if we can talk to disfellowshiped/disassociated ones to invite them to meetings then is it really going to stop there?.

  some family members haven’t had contact for decades and now after yesterdays new light they will all be getting calls.

  I think there will be a lot of “sorry you weren’t there when I needed you most and I’ve moved on” from the long time disfellowshipped community.

  is the change in jw dress policy a way to make the changes in df policy easier to accept?.

  a way to devide?.

  I don’t see much change in the df policy.

  Will a dfd still have to attend meetings for 6 months to be reinstated?

  probably

  Did the prodigal son have to wait 6 months ?

  As far as the corporate dress code it is just that. A change in policy to retain employees.

  few norwegian religious communities need to worry after the jehovah's witnesses verdict, according to legal expert vibeke blaker strand.

  he has pointed out that it is particularly serious to deprive a religious community of its registration.

  Watchtower might be arrogant enough to appeal.

  They are in a bubble as the watchtower culture won’t accept criticism from lower down members.

  Yes men are bad for any corporation in the long term.

  The Date for the Memorial is WRONG this year!

  by Kelley959 in

  an interesting video was on youtube with a person claiming that the memorial date for 2024 was wrong.

  so i consulted three different jewish calendars online and sure enough, he appears to be right.

  i went back to 2014 and forward to 2027. they have the future dates listed.

  March 24 is close to Easter so it’s good enough. Jehovah’s witnesses take the organization at its word and don’t do their own research.

  No one will notice it’s almost a month too early.

  Door to Door

  just wondering if the witnesses still go door to door.

  once in a while i see them doing their cart work and my still in relatives talk about going out in cart work, never mention door to door.

  i haven't had a knock on my door since probably 2 years before covid.
