  One thing’s for sure, this definitely supports the rumours of the Org transitioning to an e-religion.

  Covid’s given ‘em the ideal pretext.

  I often wondered if going solely online would make fading easier or harder.

  Doubting Thomas - “Their opinion about some of God's prophecies, and some of their policies.”

  Congratulations.
  

  According to the confidential elders’ manual “Shepherding the Flock of God”, you’re an apostate.

  The Big Lie JW`s Tell The Courts !

  by smiddy3 in

  imho, its the one rodney spinks and terry o`brien parroting the governing body direction is that when somebody leaves the religion whether they just fade ,disassociate or even get disfellowshiped ,then they are in fact shunning all members of all congregations worldwide including family and friends ,.according to their testimony at the arc.. this is a blatant lie and misrepresents the truth,.and they know it.. when a person leaves the religion for whatever reason they are rejecting the governing body`s teachings ,doctrines and practices of the religion of jehovah`s witnesses and not all peoples associated within the congregations.. especially not family and friends who they may have long standing relationships with.. they try to shift the blame and put the onus on those who leave.. shame on them for perpetuating such a lie..

  BTW, does anybody else remember when JWs were proud to acknowledge that they ostracized ex-members?

  WTF happened?

  "Growth = God's Blessing" has been so deeply baked into the Org's ideological DNA for so long, they almost have no choice but to try and spin the numbers accordingly.

  IMO, that fact in and of itself is enough reason to take any stats the WT leadership and reps give out with an Everest-size grain of salt.

  It always makes me scratch my head, too.

  You'd think XJWs would have had enough of that sort of thing.

  how many times did you see elders hounding congregation members to quit their jobs due to missing meetings?.

  my brother worked at a grocery store at 16 years old.

  he would miss tuesday's ministry school due to his work schedule.

  No leader should be able to give instructions that they can't or won't follow themselves.

  here's another rupture showing.. in the latest "announcements and reminders" to elders, there is a paragraph with these sentences:.

  This, IMO, is why they quietly reversed the position that former sex offenders could not serve as congregation servants a few years back...

  ...the pool of willing (and able) "qualified brothers" was getting too damn shallow, thus making it harder to run the Org at the grassroots level.
