Is there a 'third' way to leave?
by Splash inonce baptised, apart from death there are really just two ways to leave the congregation: df or da.. but notice this quote:.
"does he really desire to disassociate himself, or does he simply no longer want to associate actively with the congregation?".

Wow can that be? As far as what I understand, all the writings originate from Brooklyn, NY, USA.
Has something changed? Or is it just disinformation?
Many doctrines JWs adhere to I have never seen to be teachings of the Bible. But many of their doctrines for sure were conjured up in the ivory tower and had their beginnings there.

IS THERE PROOF THE GOVERNING BODY PREACH DOOR TO DOOR? Real Proof Please!
by ÁrbolesdeArabia ini heard very few if any, of the new members on the governing body actually go out in field service more than three hours a month.
is there a reason why the governing body would excuse themselves from the master's commandments?
jesus christ never said "spending time writing rules and regulations" was part of matthew 28. .

Cedars >> What is this?
This is a black briefcase - doctored onto the original book bag the brother is carrying - now "worthy" of being in the presence of a GB member.
It only goes to show how much they despise to be around the regular crowd - the "great crowd (am ha·’a′rets)."

If only 8 men in Brooklyn could follow his lead.
Exactly my sentiments.
If only "God's rottweiler" in Brooklyn would do the same .

The last time a pope resigned was in 1415. Back then Pope Gregory XII pronounced the resignation, which the cardinals accepted. However, the last time a Pope resigned voluntarily, was Celestine V in 1294.

Worship at the meetings(TM)....REALLY??
by punkofnice inthere were times when i was a jw that i asked myself :.
'what constitustes actual worship at the meetings?'.
it got to a point where the only worship i could see was a sycophantic arse licking of the governing body.. i found nothing at the meetings(tm) were actually anything like worshipping god.. .

The Bible says, for example, that if your worship is to be “acceptable to God,” it must be “a sacred service with your power of reason.” In other words, you must worship God “in a way that is worthy of thinking beings.”
Just think of your last meeting. Was it truly "refreshing" and something "worthy of thinking beings"?
Exactly what religious service was offered indside?
Or did it have more the resemblance of a sales seminar?

Questions From Readers - October 20th, 2010
by sd-7 inwhy are jehovah's witnesses as a whole not permitted to read the elder's manual?.
on the first day of the unfermented cakes, well before his arrest and sacrificial death, jesus christ instructed his disciples on how to prepare for the passover.
when he did so, he did not provide advance, detailed instructions for all of his disciples; instead, he dispatched only two of them to find a suitable location, which he evidently had already planned with the householder.
