truth is funny isn't it?
the religion that christ chose in 1919 because it had the truth, at that time had this to say................................. .
indeed, even if the transgressor refuse to hear (obey) the decision of the entire church, no punishment is to be inflicted or even attempted.
Zid, thanks. Good idea, it was contained in the link "Watchtower/Disfellowship-Shunning Reasons", so I guess I figured I had it covered.
Would you help me with something else? I need to know how to do the inset 'thingy' that some use instead of quotation marks, or highlighting that clearly shows what words are being quoted.
Don't know how to explain it.....none on here to refer to.
If you know what I mean Zid, could you tell me how to do it plse.
Thanks

this is my son david with his daughters, bailey (my granddaughters:)) in the first pic... his daughter zoey in the second pic.
bailey is 2 1/2 and zoey is 3 months old.
my daughter ali, who has been so ill had a nice christmas too, but didn't do pics this year.
Coffe-black, thanks for sharing those beautiful people. Great pictures.
When I look at them and my own 'kids', I think, thank God we didn't listen to the admonition to not have children! To wait for the "new world"!

because all the evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years.
... therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers.
if you are in high school and thinking about a college education, it means at least four, perhaps even six or eight more years to graduate into a specialized career.
Moo thanks for this.
No one could possibly do a "set-up" like the WT society can!! So clever and evil!
- referring in 1975, to 'how silly the dubs were in 1925 to let themselves think' the end was coming!!
“The 1975 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses sated, “1925 was a sad year for many brothers.
Some of them were stumbled, their hopes were dashed... instead of its being considered a ''probability,'' they read into it that it was a “certainty,” and some prepared for their own loved ones with expectancy of their resurrection.” The 1975 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses, p. 146
- so that they could say in 1976, how silly we all were in 1975 to have the wrong idea!! And get away with it! ''It is not advisable for us to set our sights on a certain date… If anyone has been disappointed through not following this line of thought, he should now concentrate on adjusting his viewpoint, seeing that it was not the word of God that failed or deceived him and brought disappointment, but that his own understanding was based on wrong premises.” The Watchtower, July 15, 1976, p. 441

Thank you all for responding to the post.
When I ran across this, my jaw dropped, omg the expose of the churches by Rutherford's condemming words ... are the description of the bondage the JW's are put in today!!!
I will carefully copy these words out and place them beside the shunning/DFing crimes, that the WT 'endowed' us with today.

((Russell and Rutherford were lenient towards doctrinal disagreements, recognizing that making all followers think alike on doctrine is what originally caused the great apostasy and a method of control.
As late as 1947, the Awake described the practice of excommunication as anunscriptural, pagan practice, using Hebrews 10: 26-31 to show it should be left to God to judge individuals.))
So what happened to all that TRUTH. If Christ said it was the very best in 1919, why was it changed??
So all that evil in christendom that Rutherford was so incensed about, has, since 1952 been imposed upon a captive people within the JW organization!! What a change of face!! They know exactly what they're doing!

i just sent this letter to my dad 3 days ago.
i roughly translated it from spanish, so it has many weird sounding sentences but i just wanted to shared it with the board.
practically i just say good-bye to my family.
CyberJesus .............................
If this took forever to read ....... I would read it.
If I were your parent ........... I would fall to my knees at seeing this...........
((You Little son that loves you,))
Your Parents are so blessed but seem so willing to write you off because of what men command! Leaders of a cult!
Christ has not commanded it.
You have not rejected Jesus or the Holy Spirit. Isn't that what "sinning against the Holy Spirit" is ... a rejection? That's not what is happening here.
I hope you eventually get your family back, Cyber. It is your birthright.

this can be frustrating and satisfying at the same time.
for example, i have never made meringue cookies before.
