at what point does a jehovah’s witness cease to be a jehovah’s 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?
The Watchtower corporation(tm) was never a true religion in the first place. Just a cash cow for the gluttons at the top.
You can't become an 'apostate(tm)' from Watchtower(tm) fakery, in the religious sense. Although, they pretend to see it like that because they don't want financial contributors to diminish.
If 'apostasy(tm)' just means a 'moving away from', then Jesus was an 'apostate(tm)' from Judaism. The Watchtower corporation(tm), is 'apostate(tm)' to common sense.
the twickenham post made me think of this.
i have a few jw family members on facebook and being summertime, their pics of the convention have shown up in my fb feed.
along with their comments about "i wished it would never end" or "what a glorious weekend".
I liked talking to old friends, chatting up females and eating.
As for the content of the sessions, they were not memorable.
We looked forward to the dramas, only to see some blokes dressed in dyed blankets miming to awful American accents.
i’m new to apostate stuff but have gone deep down a few rabbit holes of late so want to see both sides to everything .
im going to a congregation but am viewed as a bit of a black sheep because i question lots of things but not enough to cause too much trouble.. i’m intrigued watching the show.
in my heart i’m pretty sure the governing body are fakes and charlatans.. the entire thing is a big con game.
Welcome Teddy
I'm going to a congregation but am viewed as a bit of a black sheep because I question lots of things but not enough to cause too much trouble.
None of my business but you seem to have got the measure of the cult.
Stop going to the congregation if possible.
Problem solved. It's a fake religion posing as 'the truth(tm)'.
Get out of her my people and all that jazz.

title: jesus' perception of himself: a nuanced view of equality in a patriarchal society.
introduction:.
the perception of jesus christ's divinity has been a subject of theological debate for centuries.
I ignore AI opinions because it's just the opinions of its programmers...............lefty woke sheeple of 'the current thing'.
yeah, so i've bought this film recently but have never seen it.. i've kinda heard that it's a good film.
i certainly like director nicolas roeg's film don't look now (1973).
roeg also directed this film, the man who fell to earth (1976).. so, i was just wondering if any of you have seen it, and what you thought of it.. er, try not to give spoilers, please ....
Yes. I went to see it at the cinema when it first came out because Bowie was in it.
As I recall it's from a story by Robert Heinlen - Stranger in a strange land.
What did I think of it?
I can't remember, it was so long ago.
I had the poster on my bedroom wall though.
They're very delusional.
Still no refining about the Governing Body(tm) (Pee be upon them) and their protection of sexual predators!
the watchtower and awake have been listed as the most popular magazines.the figures are astonishing.
i am not sure whether it is based on reality or not.. source: https://tingtopten.com/2020/01/top-10-most-popular-magazines-in-the-world/.
i have seen the link on many social media networks.
I can't open the link at work. However, I'd ask, how reliable is the source?
Many sources make many claims.
Many are just based on limited or flawed data.
Anyway, what magazines? I haven't seen any.
yes, there’s a post on reddit.
it says that after a zoom meeting a request was made to baptized publishers to give $20 apiece to fix this elder’s car.. while this sounds highly irregular to me and not necessarily approved by the religion, i am not at all surprised at the nerve.
this, unfortunately, seems to be the direction that things are going there!
What's good for the goose.......IE. If the Governing Body(tm) (Pee be upon them), can ponce money off even poor people, then Jobots can follow their 'fine example(tm). The Holy Grift is on!
At the end of the day (or even at the beginning of it....even half way through), we are ultimately dealing with people.
People are a mistake.
...according to bro.
tony evans, district overseer, @ the voyager school assembly, peterborough, uk 10-2-13:.
"jehovah does not give holy spirit, apart from the scriptures.
the Voyager School Assembly, Peterborough
Bloody hell. I went to that school as a teenager when it was called 'Walton Comprehensive'. I live within easy walking distance of the Voyager. (Bloody stupid name).
Weirdly enough, local Jobots were told to attend a CONvention in another town not their home city of Peterborough. We locals call it Bogboro' because it's a slum of 'diversity is a strength' ghettos.
A fake religion with fake doctrine. It's all empty and depressing.
hey guys!
i'm new on this site and am a non jw here married to a jw.
my husband's family are active members and they daily post articles on facebook from jw.org which i know is meant for me to see and read.
The Corporation(tm) will use any old thing they can to keep their enslaved feeling superior with fake 'accurate knowledge(tm)'.
It's so totally pathetic.
