Itās not about marriages.
Itās about loss of official registration as a state-recognized religion and the regular state-sponsored checks that came with it.

less then half were children.. as far as patience goes, it can certainly help you be a better person when dealing with others but needless to say, this having patience waiting for jehovah is pure b.s.!
Possibilities:
a) They were His organization, but theyāve strayed so far, so egregiously, that (like He did with Israel) he used the ānationsā (i.e. āSatanās Worldā) to smack āem. Hard.
b) They falsely claimed the mantle of His organization, so He simply sits back and lets them inevitably (and deservedly) hang themselves with their own hubris-noose.
c) He doesnāt actually exist, and eventually the rest of the civilized world gets tired of their bullshit and shuts āem down.
These three options are the most likely, but - more importantly - all end the same wayā¦ because from what I can see, they are way past the point of positive reform (voluntarily or otherwise)ā¦
ā¦since - at their core - they simply refuse to acknowledge even to themselves that they are, quite simply, wrong.
at what point does a jehovahās witness cease to be a jehovahās witness?
what if a witness doesn't believe some of the official teachings of the governing body but remains silent on these subjects to avoid being disfellowshipped?
is he or she an apostate to the faith?
@ Pallbearerā¦
Iām not exaggerating.
I donāt have the book on hand at the moment, but thereās plenty of PDF copies available at different locations around the net. Feel free to check.
And there is absolutely a section which describes how - for all intents and purposes - thinking the GB is wrong about something technically constitutes apostasy. They may phrase it in ātheocraticā terminology, but make no mistake, thatās what it means.
Itās been discussed here more than once.

a real estate document on the robeson county website is filed:.
the religious order of jehovah's witnesses has provided a "life estate" for them.they can live in this townhouse until they are deceased or choose to move away and in either case the ownership becomes entirely the property of jehovah's witnesses.
FFGhost - āNow that people know where he lives, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone tracks him down, in a Lumberton grocery store or post office or liquor store, and chats him up while secretly recording it.ā
Oh, hell, yeah.
Butā¦ play it gentle, be nice, and - eventually - get him good and soused.
Then hit ārecā, sit back, and see what happens.

Interesting line of thought, Rat.
The WTS insists that it has Godās exclusive favour.
Okay.
What did God do when his favoured nation Israel got out of line and wouldnāt straighten up?

If you follow the logic in the confidential eldersā handbook, āShepherding the Flock of Godā, you technically become an āapostateā the moment you think the Governing Body is wrong about something.
'the spokesperson also said that church elders are told to report any allegations of child sexual abuse to the authorities immediately, even if there is only one complainant.'.

Polishing and selling off the family silver is not a sustainable method for sound financial health.
i have heard from a few ppimis and several pimos that the attendants who are stationedly-assigned to the front entrances of the borgvenues (cahs and other arenas) have been checking to see if any persons (members and non-member visitors) have badges.
on the other hand, if these persons don't have one, this is what i was told that these dubs do this: corral around the non-badge-wearing individual and interrogate he/she/them plus questioning them, "why are you here?!".
also, even if that person or persons have an invitation plus showed it to these dubs, these toy cops still do that procedure.
Is it just me, or does the Org almost seem to be morphing into a parody of itself?
