  Disfellowshiping: Why the Terror?

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the more i read about ritual shunning and disfellowshiping in the society, the more i wonder how the governing body and elders have pulled the proverbial wool over the eyes of the congregation.

  first, the society doesnt consider itself a church (unlike the ancient christians, who did consider themselves to be part of a church).

  yet, like other sectarians, they have their hands out for contributions and exercise immense power over their members.

  The disfellowshipping thing never made sense to me. Ever. It just seemed evil and unhealthy.

  Yeah @ steve2, he's really gone off the deep end over the years. A shame because i love his music (he's not too nice to his fans from what I hear).

  Yeah, there are a lot of JW's who are LGBT in hiding. Jehovahs Witnesses also make fun of gay people, but they hide that too. But there suppose to be so 'different.'

  Jehovah's Witnesses are NOT false prophets

  by SloppyJoe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  tonight on the service meeting we discussed why jws are not false prophets.

  of the ten minute part two were spent discussing that jws just had wrong expectations and only very minor changes over the years although nothing specific was mentioned.

  the other eight focused on the core bible truths that have remained the same over the years.

  Reverse-Witnessing leaves me mentally and emotionally drained...

  by ILoveTTATT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi dear friends!.

  i am doing some stealth reverse-witnessing, and i have succeeded in at least two people seeing ttatt, one being my friend and the other being my dad (although my dad has a longer route to take to exit the wts, and i have to slowly chip away at the illusion).... the illusion of jw's is very strong.

  they give an illusion of being moral and decent people, and that may be true just because the majority of the people they attract are just being deceived, or i really like to believe that and hope for the best.. what i hate and leaves me emotionally drained are jw apologists.
