  Rebuttals for having an independent attitude or spirit.

  by Emery in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am looking for rebuttals on this statement.

  i find it reprehensive when they preach this from the platform, they do not want jws (who are individuals) to have any individuality.

  they want people to be their personal robots with no free will.

  They didn't like my independant spirit of not needing a man either.

  What does Disfellowshiping really mean?

  by nolongerconfused in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  not sure if i spelled the word right, but:.

  as some of you probably know i'm no longer active and have stopped attending etc...etc.... if one is disfellowshipped for whatever reason, including not agreeing with wtb doctrine...does the wtbs consider you worthy of death come armageddon?

  i saw the trial transcript and that's what they believed in the 50's...anyone have any recent quote from their publications explaining how they see a disfellowshipped person?.

  Disagreeing with the GB means certain death, paedophilia, apparently not!

  We have an urgent message and it's been urgent for 130 years and the full time proclaimers of this oh so urgent message have their own ultra slow version of walking called "the pioneer shuffle".

  The memorial where they pass the emblems but don't sip or nibble is going to surprise a few. More like a satanic ritual than a christian one

  Or if they do read them the gammyzines are so 'samey' that they can't tell they just read the same thing twice.

  THE WALSH TRIAL FOR NEW MEMBERS !!!!!!

  by DATA-DOG in

  just wanted to make some information available for newer ones.

  i am a born-in third generation ( or is it one overlapping generation..i get so confused) and i had no idea these court transcripts even existed until almost 2 years ago.

  i don't want to assume that you have read these.

  Thanks for that I had forgotten all about that trial. There is so much they got up to but some information needs preserving for all time.

  Q. If a member of Jehovah's Witnesses took the view himself that that prophesy was wrong and said so he would be disfellowshipped?
  
  A.Yes, if he said so and kept persisting in creating trouble, because if the whole organisation believes one thing, even though it be erronious and somebody else starts on his own trying to put his ideas across then there is disunity and trouble, there cannot be harmony, there cannot be marching. When a change comes it should come from the proper source, the head of the organisation, the governing body, not from the bottom upwards, because everybody would have ideas, and the organisation would disintegrate and go in a thousand different directions. Our purpose is to have unity.

  Apostates do not need to make up lies about JWs, they produce enough rope all by themselves.

  What's you BIGGEST pet peeve/disagreement with the WT or GB?!?

  by TeenageInsider in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for me its the district conventions.

  not bragging in anyway, but i was born-into a family of 'higher ups' im talking co's and zo's..... and there is a room that they set up in the conventions/stadiums called the "chairmans office".

  i always have access to these rooms, because im usually with one of my higher up family members who give talks and all that other crap.. anyways, while everyone in the convention is sitting in the sun, eating a slimy, soggy bolognia sandwich, the chairmans office is air conditioned, has a variety of chilled beverages, 'coke, pepsi, diet coke, gatorade, dasani water bottles,' not to mention the 'danishes, sandwich triangles, cookies, cakes, muffins, fresh coffee, and for lunch, pizza, salads, pastas, and lasagna'.

  we have missed out on having our own children.

  They imply what our consciences should or should not allow us to do when in reality it is their doctrines being imposed on us and we are made to feel inadequate or weak or selfish if we don't follow their line of reasoning. They never said do this or do that but by using weasly words and all the "Andres" and "Selmas" as our example we understood what they expected demanded of us.

  how many times have you heard this one?

  " that way they will be resurrected and not be destroyed at armegeddon".

  which brings me to another resurrection question.

  "who in their right mind wish for loved ones to die ?"

  or in my case, for my toxic parents to not die before the big A because I didn't want them in paradise.
