  New article - SHUNNING: UNCHRISTIAN PSYCHOLOGICAL TORTURE

  by EdenOne in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hello everyone.. after months of neglect, i've resumed writing for my website.. the new article deals with the issue of shunning among the jehovah's witnesses.. it attempts to disentangle disfellowshipping from shunning, and demonstrating that shunning is a practice unbecoming of a christian.

  i hope you find it interesting the article shunning - unchristian psychological torture.. it's divided into the following sections:.

  introduction.

  Great job Eden. It's great to have another well written article to prove that the JWs and the WT Corp is a harmful cult-like group.

  Don't worry about ones that like to pick things apart they are a dime a dozen lol. ;)

  At my JC I asked the elders if Jesus was their mediator and every time they had to say something like, "Jesus is our mediator THROUGH the FDS" it was pathetic and I have that on audio!

  The Great Crowd and 144K explained

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was talking to the person who posts on this site www.wernerbiblecommentary.org and we were talking about his understanding of the great crowd and the 144k (his whole article is on the site).

  anyway if you look at rev 5:10 these look to be the same as the great-crowd, being from the nations etc.

  and are dead.

  Wernerbiblecommentary.org is a very scholarly site and this man has written thousands of pages of commentary on the Bible. A very good reference.

  I will say no more.

  Have you reached out to him and tried to let him know that he is not alone? Has he read Coc? These are the things that interest me, bc he could he helped immensely to escape MENTALLY from the WT Cult which still likely has his mind on their side. Also he could become suicidal, etc. and we don't want that either.

  is anyone aware if this project is already being done by someone?

  if not, perhaps we can brainstorm how to go about this, now that the pdf for the revised nwt is out.

  I love that it is mashed into a 12mb PDF file that's perfect for a quick compare on a verse in question. Outstanding.

  You have a PM MMM.

  V for the Watchtower Comments guy

  V for Vendetta another awesome Watchowski film

  "Voila! In view humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate.

  This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin, vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

  The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

  Verily this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that its my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V."
