  What's the thinking behind calling yourself 'Apostate'?

  by Essan in

  seems to me that we're playing into the society's hands here.. 'apostate' is the most evil and vile word for jw's.

  i suspect it's even more of a terrifying trigger word than 'satan' or "demons", for them.. the society gives us that label which they have negatively loaded in order to make it impossible for jw's to hear us or have anything to do with us.

  the word is associated with other words like "poison" and "toxic", "disease" and "filth".. so what sense does it make to use it and allow the society to have it's way?.

  Maximum Damage to the WT.

  i have to hand it to the society.

  they understand the power of organization.

  they demonstrate that no matter how ridiculous your message and how much the facts don't support your position you can still accomplish a lot if you are organized.

  genesis.

  in the beginning, jehovah organized the universe.

  now the earth was disorderly and unproductive and not at all upbuilding.

  and i have other sheep, which are not of this fold; those also i must bring, and they will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock, one shepherd.

  (john 10:16).

  disfellowshipping.

  the bible only gives expressly, 7 things that a person may be disfellowshipped for.

  found at 1 corinthians 5:11, they are: anyone that is a fornicator, a greedy person, an idolater, a reviler, a drunkard or an extortioner.
