*** w81 9/15 p. 23 par. 15 Disfellowshiping—How to View It ***
Or, a person might renounce his place in the Christian congregation by his actions, such as by becoming part of an organization whose objective is contrary to the Bible, and, hence, is under judgment by Jehovah God. (Compare Revelation 19:17-21; Isaiah 2:4.) So if one who was a Christian chose to join those who are disapproved of God, it would be fitting for the congregation to acknowledge by a brief announcement that he had disassociated himself and is no longer one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

How many former Jehovah's Witnesses bury their head in the sand when it comes to reasoning about the NGO "conspiracy"?
by Change Name inhi all - sure sure, you can call me a troll or brainwashed cult member.
i am totally interested in how your answers to these questions.. .
do you find yourself ignoring anything that jehovah's witnesses bring out in regards to their former status as an ngo?.

When I was a dub I used to buy my kids Easter Eggs after the holiday was over and the added bonus was they were reduced. We smashed them first so we were only eating chocolate and not an egg and all it symbolises.
The craziness goes on and on!

The apologist article states that criteria has changed since 1991. United Nations say not. Evidence to the contrary , please. -

Just wanted you to know, none of you are intriguing. Rather, you're all quite repulsive.
by Theocratic Sedition innot saying that's my personal opinion, but this week's congregation bible study asks the viewpoint question, "would apostate literature or internet sites intrigue you or repulse you?
"- jeremiah book, page 70, para 7. .
gotta love it.. i guess apostate sites are like crime scenes.

The Revelation book was being studied when I started to wake up.
The amendments really confused me and I resented being advised to print study material direct from jw.org as we were unable to get "revised" books where we lived.
I didn't have any ink at that time (I had to wait for some to come from UK) and continued to use the old version. I understood statistics being revised and updated but other stuff made me think.
A dangerous thing for any witless to do!

How does the WTS mine quotes for their "scholarly inspired" articles ?
by mP inive seen a few threads discussing misquotations, including the quote about roman times taken from a book of fiction.
apologies but i cant recall the author or the book mentioned but im sure others will know what im talking about .. so how many books do they read to find these quotes ?
they must b e buying a lot of apostate books just to find a worthy quote.

Didn't they justify being an NGO with the UN so they could access their library.

Anyone noticed a curiosity on the Memorial Invitation for 2013 ?
by EdenOne ini can't scan the memorial invitation for 2013, but i was looking at it today and noticed something curious on the front drawing.. we have jesus as the central figure of the composition.
to his right and bottom, a large crown, in colour, of shiny happy people of diverse origins.. separated from this by the figure of jesus, is another group, a much smaller one, on the left and as if ascending to the top, and grayed.. clearly portrayed in this group is the face of ct russell and apparently william tyndale.
but then, also sarah and abraham and other personalities of the ot seem to be represented there.

Doubtless the early Christians followed the custom of the time and locality in which they lived, with regard to the wearing of a beard. The Roman custom
was beardlessness. Romans converted to Christianity would very likely
continue in the Roman custom, while converts from the Jewish community would continue in the Jewish custom of wearing a beard.
If early Christians could follow the customs of their time and locality then why do female witnesses have to follow western fashion customs from the forties and fifties and still cannot wear trousers?

Who pioneered with the promise of having 'Jehovah provide' and ended up dirt poor anyway?
by Julia Orwell ini ask this because the wt always bangs on about if you trust in jehovah and make that leap into pioneering, you will always be provided for.
at the time i joined the cult, a friend was continuous aux.
pioneering.

I discovered double standards were rife too.
When I was working I always offered to take pioneers to save their fuel. When I was not working and pioneering they reasoned they may as well come with me and save their petrol because I was going out anyway! I had no job and 2 kids to feed!

The 265th Pope slithers off into retirement
by designs inhe now lives out of reach of the secular world's laws.
the pope emeritus spent part of his youth with the nazi leagues of his homeland.
he receives a 'retirment check' of about $3000.00 per month, which is the high end range of our social security system if you were a top earner and waited until 70 to collect.
