The Watchtower tries to make the Christian faith about what you are doing. But, the Christian faith is about what Jesus already did. Any questions?

"Would it be Scripturally proper for them to now marry and to begin to rear children? No, is the answer, which is supported by the Scripture. Those Jonadabs who now contemplate marriage, it would seem, would do better if they wait a few years, until the fiery storm of Armageddon is gone..." Face the Facts (1938) pp.46-50

I remember being train to say this in the 60's: "We are not a church. We're Jehovah's Witnesses".

But when the Gibbering Buddies found out they could extract millions of dollars each year from countries in $atan's Organization, especially in Europe, all they sudden is was OK to be a church.

Hypocrits.

Active Apostates are still considered persona non grata.

What this means is that, anyone who believes they can be saved by the blood of Jesus alone, they will still be viewed as a filthy Babylonish Whore and avoided all costs.

So, if you come to Jesus as he invited, talk to him like he instructed, and accept his deal for peace with God in the new covenant, you will never see your family again, your name will be permanently smeared and you can forget about any family inheritance. You may not even be notified if your mother gets sick and is put in Hospice to die (like what happened to me). When I asked my father in person, "Where is mom?. He said her ashes were in the backyard lawnmower shed.

But, if an XJW is willing to continue their rebellion against the authority of Jesus after they leave, you will now be thrown an emotional bone now and then..... a few scraps from the family table.

“Since Jehovah God and Jesus Christ completely trust the faithful and discreet slave, should we not do the same?” Watchtower 2009 Feb 15 p.27

Watchtower 2011 Jul 15 p.24 Simplified English Edition
"We need to obey the faithful and discreet slave to have Jehovah’s approval."

This is a pretty seismic policy shift in how df-ing, er, “removal” will be done. As written, pretty much the only people who will ever be “removed” from this point forward are brazen apostates

Not really. As you astutely pointed out above, the central reason for shhunning is to deny freedom of religion to the public. I believe this has always been the central reason for the policy. For the poor soul who, after baptism happens to figure out that according to WT Jesus isn't your Mediator, and the New Covenant is "forgiveness of sins" (Mt. 26:27-28), and not government leadership positions, nothing has changed.

Try walking into a Kingdom Hall and telling your relatives that Jesus is your personal savior and that you are born again and see what happens. They will be screaming that you have a demon.

Interesting video connects the dots.

The main reason that Governing Body members and all the other JW impostors who pretend to be in a new covenant relationship with Christ is fake, is because they have incurred a curse from God because of their disobedience.

They claim that the new covenant (which Mt. 26: 27-28 clearly states is "for the forgiveness of sins') is only for themselves. All other people (except for supposed rare replacements) do not get to experience Justification. Of course, this is the biggest blasphemous lie from hell ever told. And, God made damn sure people could read his warning against anyone who would preach "a different gospel" :

But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. - Gal. 1: 8-9

The apostles never taught a two-tier salvation - one with the blood covering covenant, and one without it.

The problem Ukraine and Russia have is a regional problem, with disputes going back hundreds of years. All the parties speak Russian. They need to work it out.

This is the dominant attitude of the nearby states where I have friends and relatives. They are appalled at the endless supply of cash flowing into Ukraine from NATO and the USA.

It is producing nothing but dead bodies, and a poor economy for everyone nearby. I predict that they will work out some compromise. Trump will make sure of that. In the end, all the soldiers will have died for nothing because NATO and the US stoked the fires. Thanks Joe.
