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

Gee, your hair smellls terrific.

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.

A poll released by the Kyiv Institute of Sociology, with data gathered from 8–16 April, 41.1% of people in Donetsk were for decentralisation of Ukraine with powers transferred to regions, while letting it remain a unified state, 38.4% for changing Ukraine into federation, 27.5% were in favour of secession from Ukraine to join the Russian Federation, and only 10.6% supported current unitary structure without changes.[18]

Looks like most of the people affected by all this are unhappy with Zelenski's Ukraine one way or another. This is a regional dispute and needs to be worked out between the parties invoved. It is certainly not an issue worthy of a nuclear war for the whole world to suffer through.

Many seem to love war and chaos so that they can be part of the "solution". Only problem is, the people in the disputed regions don't seem to particularly want to be "saved" by Zelinski. I hope voters remember what their hawkish politicians (on both sides of the isle) put us through in two years during the next election cycle.

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."

....Liars

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.
