Aren't they something?
"Look at the puppet....look at the puppet"
Amazing.
so i was reading ahead in the bookstudy book "bearing thorough witness" about god's kingdom, and i came upon some shockingly direct damage control on behalf of the gb in the material for the upcoming weeks.. on page 104: what a privilege it is to be instructed and molded by our patient and kind heavenly father!
the results are always good and always to our advantage.
so let us never proudly push ahead with our own ideas or react negatively to organizational changes or to adjusted explanations of certain scriptures.

"Look at the puppet....look at the puppet"
Amazing.
with all of the legal mumbo jumbo and technicalties that the organization uses (recently brought to light in the australian case), i couldn't help but wonder what power the "no longer one of jehovah's witnesses" really has or even means from a technical standpoint, since the organization is so technical.
we know what it means when the announcement is made, but in reality, so-and-so never really belonged to any of the groups in the first place.
the law says that association or membership is voluntary, therefore the organization has the right to expel and shun someone for not following the guidelines expected of members.. what are the rank and file members of?.
Consider the irony of no longer being a Jehovah's Witness.....yet, to return to being one, you have to act like one......when you're not one.....in other words, what does it matter what you're doing when you're not a JW...... you're NOT a JW!!!!
But try to explain that to a reinstatement committee.
Its all coo coo for cocoa puffs.
do they tell you "legal requirements" of a df'd behavior?
like, you cant talk to anyone, if we hear of you talking to other members it will hurt your reinstatement, do they tell you to come late and leave early, do they tell you how to be reinstated, what kinds of things if any are covered after you are told you are being df'd????
do they tell you their basis (loose scriptural right) to take this action?
Here is something to wrap your head around:
Why does it matter? If you're announced as 'no longer one of Jehovah's Witnesses'......what does it matter what you're doing at all? You're NOT a JW while 'df'd'.......so why can't you just walk up and say "I would like to be back in?"
You shouldn't have to discuss your associates or habits....because they said you weren't a witness.
Oh...throw this in for extra mind tweaking material:
the Bible is ONLY for the ANOINTED.....so why are the DFing 'other sheep'.....we don't partake, we are just 'associating' with Christ's brothers, right?
Yeah............amazing the lies you get caught in when you just make crap up, huh?
my cousin passed away last week from cancer at the age of 49. the cancer spread so fast it took our family by surpise.
we figured she had a couple of years instead of months.
she left 4 children(3 were baptised and 1 was disfellowshipped a couple of years ago).
DISGUSTING!!!!!
God reading your experience makes me want to beat the living s**t out of someone.
I'm so sorry for your loss....... your poor family should never be subjected to such life altering hate.
perhaps this has already been addressed, i looked ... i thought you might want to know, not much time left ..... harold camping .... some time after being released from a nursing home in june after suffering a stroke, camping, released an audio message on family radio's website saying, "we would have not been able to be used [by god] to bring about the tremendous event that occurred on may 21 of this year, which probably [will] be finished out on oct. 21 that's coming very shortly.
that looks like it will be ... the final end of everything.".

Wait.....does that mean we are all part of "the generation".....or are we overlappers??
is it me or is the un no longer the enemy?
when i was studying all i heard about was the un banning religions.
do any current articles discuss this anymore?.
Oh come on people.....where have you been.....???
Haven't you heard?? At this summer's District Convention we all got new phophetic light?? Didn't you get an invitation??
Come close.....this is exciting.....those toes on the image in Daniel.....yeah, yeah, THOSE TOES......well......new light has shone forth......they mean..............they mean...........I got my invitation right here........they mean, ummmm, they mean.....
..........oh......wait.......
i've googled with no success.
i need a date.
when did the watchtower discontinue food service at the district conventions?
It was the end of the only thing worth going to conventions for:
the cheese danish
this is a question i've been wanting to ask.
i'm not sure if i understand their whole "resurrection" teaching totally.
but it appears that to any jw's who may not want to be, or any others for that matter, dont have to be baptized in the borg at all.
I used to wonder why I shouldn't just walk into a mall and start shooting......all the while yelling "...you will thank me later!!"
It would be a more effective way to get people into the "new order".....because field service wasn't working.
this is the ad i constantly get on this site.... anyway, something about this girl doesn't look christain.
do you think she is the ideal girl for a "christain" advert.
i can't put my finger on it, but i think she is laking some kind of christain faculties.
...the problem is...????
LOL
i was thinking about all the things i missed out on growing up as a jw.
many of those things i will never be able to do anyway, like join in any extracurriular activities or go to senior prom.
but one of the first things i did when i got out if the borg was join a ballroom dance class and go to a nightclub with some of the students in the class.
I won't lie.....I went through a few women.....
