the question should be what are the consequences of resignation from wt answer is complete bullying no contact with familey your done you stupid idiot..
In that "article" this stood out to me.
Often, those who for a time slow down or stop in their worship have not abandoned their faith but are suffering from discouragement. Rather than shunning such ones, we try to give them consolation and support.
Having been a long time elder - this is as far from the truth as possible.
And I am experiencing the opposite (of support or consolation) along with my family currently. And for what? Not going to meetings.
is there some new teachings i am hearing about, in the disfellow shipping area?.
Nothing is NEW - it's all the same nothing has changed at all.
as noted on reddit,.
the last convention video,.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d43eygztxl4plagiarized the sound from this album:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2udtlqwtjd4 .
I don't know why you don't think they just bought the rights to use what ever clip they want?
So much of the convention videos include stock video clips you can buy for $100 bucks - why would you think they would steal music from some artist. Or they might have bought the sheet music and paid the fee to reproduce it.
it gives nothing, it only takes.
it preaches the end but continues to commute its financial ‘winnings’ into bricks and mortar investments and enjoys the prestige of a world-wide portfolio worth billions.
the constant postponement of armageddon only helps this business model so the administration is happy.
Instead of moving humanity forward - it holds mankind back.
If everyone was a JW - we would be living in caves and looking for Lightning strikes for fire.
If you add all you find in the bible about Israelites and christians, and then add JWs, their sole contribution to the progress of man through invention and discovery = MEPS.
What a horrid religion.
god is going to fix everything.
you would just not believe how great he is going to make it.
it's going to be the greatest.
Awesome!
I know hispanics love god too - and he has made great deals with China.

this great video explains what critical thinking really is, and why it is a skill all humans need to employ in daily life.. the expression had been distorted by the society to something that is negative or wrong, yet that is far from the case.....
But my brother if you teach people how to think critically it will damage the faith of the friends who will not be equipped to detect - BS - Foolish Nonsense - False Arguments - Circular Logic - and recognized false predictions for what they are!
How sad would that be and how sad would the great dog jehober would be.
"From trunk to trunk from hood to hood, jehobers name we spread"...
The revised song 103
so can someone clarify this please?.
the claim has been made that the gb is the faithful and discreet slave.
especially was this highlighted during the agm (when the silver bible was released).. but are they now saying that this "appointment" isn't happening until the "great tribulation"?.
from the article.
“The faithful and discreet slave”: A small group of anointed brothers who are directly involved in preparing and dispensing spiritual food during Christ’s presence. Today, these anointed brothers make up the Governing Body
for those of you who are still in because of family circumstances, what do you do about field service?
do you still go regularly, sporadically or not at all?.
if you do still go, how do you manage?
Before I got out - I just drove around with my family to the same Tired Calls I had for years - went for coffee - and usually got home early.
During Tract campaigns - rarely rang any bells and also did fake knocking.

I always thought that the stupidest thing ever is thinking that the UN will attack religion.
As if the UN is an entity on its own - that it's not a very weak peacekeeping body made up of many countries.
And how stupid is it to think that - US or British or Brazilian soldiers assigned to the UN will suddenly go to there countries and kill their Moms and Grandmoms for going to church:)
And with its massive 90,000 uniformed force ( police and military ) they will shut down 6 billion people who profess being part of a religion. Look at the terrifying numbers below:)
In June 2013. Pakistan contributed the highest number overall with 8,186 personnel, followed by India (7,878),Bangladesh (7,799), Ethiopia (6,502), Rwanda (4,686), Nigeria (4,684), Nepal (4,495), Jordan (3,374), Ghana (2,859), and Egypt(2,750).[9]
