  Reasoning with Jehovah's Witnesses: Disfellowshipping

  by Darth Rutherford in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  how can we reason with jehovah's witnesses regarding the practice of disfellowshipping fellow believers?.

  well, when you look up disfellowship in the nwt index, you are referenced to expel, expelled.. when you look up these two words, you get the following scriptures:.

  john 16:2 men will expel you from the synagogue.

  Old "Light" Cannot Be Right - Interesting Quote from Watchtower

  by Darth Rutherford in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  came across this quote from w64 2/15 p.101:.

  "when a belief is not correct but is wrong, then it cannot be right at the same time.

  the most sincere belief and practice of that belief will not change it from being wrong into being right.

  i couldn't help but think... what if we all start requesting free bible studies?

  except, of course, send them on wild goose chases?

  send them on bogus trips around the territory?.

  Happy Are the Merciless

  by Darth Rutherford in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  recently the local kingdom hall had a local needs talk in which they expressed how too many people were listening to the meeting via the telephone connection.

  as a result, they've changed the code necessary to listen to the meeting.

  only qualified individuals (homebound, bedfast, etc) will be allowed to call in and listen to a meeting.

  Should I Return?

  by Darth Rutherford in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  we all are at different stages in our journey from the watchtower organization.

  some of us have been free for years, and some of us are at that moment of initial discovery.

  as for me, though i began to conscientiously fade just a few months ago, my discovery actually began years ago - even while serving as an elder.. i have no illusions that this journey will be easy.

  Luke 21:8 - Who Should We Really Avoid?

  by Darth Rutherford in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  luke 21:8 - who should we really avoid?.

  in his sign of the last days, jesus warned his followers: look out that you are not misled; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, i am he, and, the due time has approached.

  (luke 21:8) jesus provides clues that help us identify who to avoid.

  Beards and Overstepping the Commandment of God

  by Darth Rutherford in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why is it you also overstep the commandment of god because of your tradition?

  like the pharisees, the watchtower is overstepping the commandment of god because of tradition.

  (psalm 118:9; 146:3) yet, where does jehovah, through his word, command a christian not to grow a beard at all?
