so: the mystery has been clarified as to more "new light" / clarifications of decades old doctrine and procedure.
august watchtower has finally been leaked.
disfellowshipping?
WT theology has always been a shell game of symbolic interpretation. They are just expanding the grift to include policy as well.
The question is whether or not educated lawmakers will continue to waste taxpayer money on the scam. Or, will they see that the suicides, mental health costs, addiction recovery costs and lost income from formerly productive citizens are not likely to change?
big news.
just in from a friend who is fading.. disfellowshipping will no longer be a term used by jws.
study article 35, paragraph 4 footnote says this:.
We will never abandon the disfellowshipping practice.
But we will blow out your future by removing you from the congregation and from your loved ones.
Ok got it.
i thought i would tell this story: 2 gals and a guy came by with invitation to convention.
i am in the yard.
the gals get out and are wearing pants.
You brought out 2-3 very logical points, planted some seeds, and let them know there are people out there that are not JW's that do care about truth and authenticity. I'd call that a home run.
wifes friend had to go home to deep study the sunday article.
does that mean not skimming headings?
the last deep thing i remember was babylon book and it was a perfect fit except none of it came true.
WT is mocking the people stuck in this cult printing stuff like this. No way that is an accident.
the governing body claims to be the ruling part of the 144k jews in revelation.
wt leaders wiped out 4-5 generations of my family, and nearly took me out as well.
i will see this injustice settled however long it takes.
It’s is in an old Buffalo Springfield song I think.
(acts 9:15, 16) but the lord said to him: “go!
(see acts 11:26).
(acts 5:40) .
TonusOH,
During the Millenium Reign people from all nations will visit Jerusalem. There will always be nation/ethenic groups.
i am in western canada.
we use to have our assembly in saskatoon.
our assembly has moved to medicine hat.
"Where Is Everybody!"
Maybe they are disfellowshipping themselves out of existence.

@nicolau,
Mother died from no blood transfusion being allowed. My JW father and JW elder brothers let her starve to death in a hospice instead of allowing a relatively simple operation on her kinked small intestines. She died a slow painful death.
I have over a hundred JW relatives. I found out about her passing on the internet 2 weeks after her death. No one even called me. We were very close before I became a believer. I know of no other blood relative who was a JW and is now free of Watchtower besides my nephew (my so-called "anointed" oldest brother's son). My nephew got baptized about 2 years ago. His children are over 18 and no longer permitted to see him.
The fake Jewish impostors leading the Watchtower will worship Jesus at the feet of many of those they have abused in this life. Russell, Franz, Rutherford, etc.... all of them with this particular fake Jewish delusion. My feet will be among those they see as they (too late) worship the Lord..... not because I don't deserve hell every bit as much as they do. But, because the Lord has ordained it.
This is what victory looks like for Christian overcomers of Witchtower indoctrination. .
