what is the wts's current view on resurrection of disfellowshipped people?
a few years ago, an older sister's df'd son died of aids in sf.
when she and her unbeliever husband returned from the funeral, she said "he is in jehovah's hands.

It reminds me of my mother telling my sister-in-law (not a j-dub), that her uncle, who was dying of cancer would not have any hope of a ressurection. Nice, eh? He has passed away, and is now enjoying the TRUE hope of life with Christ. My mother had the nerve enough to right a letter to the wife of this man, and sent a tract to tell her all about the "hope" he has. My sister-in-law doesn't want to tell her Aunt what my mother said, because her Aunt would get really ANGRY!!
It's really sickening.

after a century and a half of preaching and publishing, the wtbts (watchtower bible and tract society) has closed its doors.. the group was started in the 1870s with most of its doomsday doctrines borrowed from the second adventists, another american-born religion of the 19th century.

UNOFFICAL REPORT CLAIM INDICTMENTS FOR THE WBTS
Unoffical reports released today by anonymous sources state that there are multiple indictments pending for the board members of the religious organization commonly known as the "Jehovah's Witnesses".
According to these sources, it is alleged that some of the board members have been laundering tax-exempt monies obtained by donations of the parisheners and were funneling it to a variety of bank accounts, pyramid schemes, private real-estate deals, bonds and stocks.
An attempt has been made to contact Chief Ofcmad, of NYC Police Department, to confirm these rumors. Unfortunately she was not available for comment.

According to the sources, Chief Mad alledgely stated the following, " 'I made a promise to God that as long as ...[the board members of the Jehovah's Witnesses].. were around to cheat, steal, and molest the innocent, I would actively serve my country to protect these victims. Now my work is done. And I'm ...(edited for media release)happy.'".
A farewell-benefit for Chief Mad will be announced at a later date. The dinner will benefit the WVF, Watchtower-Victim Fund.

the first survey i asked how you were brought into the non-truth.
my next survey is along the same line, however what i would like to find out is on the average how many hours you spent in the field service and were you ever able to bring anyone into the non-truth via field service or via incidental witnessing.. and how long you were associated with the borg?.
thank you in advance for your input.
ok--
7-10 yoa x 10 hrs= 360
11-14 yoa x 20 hrs= 720
15-16 yoa x 80 hrs = 960
16- leaving yoa x 5 hrs= 300
total= 2340
minus - 220 cheated time
minus - 215 coffee breaks
minus - 750 spent in car while others preached
minus - 120 spent in car sleeping while others preached
minus - 650 spent just traveling to the territory
minus - 284 spent knocking on not-at-homes
======================================
total +1 minute spent in actual witnessing

that is bad !!
dave, has jehovah's witnesses society proved itself by what it teaches, to love man and god and wife and child and to act for the betterment of all?
which one of these ways mentioned does the society use?
You will not accomplish nothing.
A freudian slip perhaps?

i have been working on my letter to our local congregation to dis-associate myself.. since my wife is still very active in the non-truth and she also insist that i write this letter, i believe i will take her congregation address and telephone list and send my letter with all the facts about the wbts history of lies and send everyone in the congregation my letter via certified mail.
.
it would probally set me back a few hundred bucks but i think it would be well worth it, what do you think??
I myself sent in a D'ad letter. I personally beleive that God placed it in my heart to do so, that way, I was in a now cut-n-dry sitution. My family could no longer persuade me into making a bad decision to go back. Each individual is different.
I sent the letter to my sister's home to give to the elders. I knew that curiosity would get the best of her. She had to call my dad and read it to him.
Unless you are of "rank" in the Org, you should not expect to have the elders read and ponder over the letter too long.
Do what is in YOUR heart. Don't do it because your wife is wanting you to. She might want you to do it because she is afraid that there is a chance, albeit small chance, that you might go back.
It's up to you. Pray about it. God will give you the answer.

i have always felt that requiring sisters to wear headcoverings was assinine.
jehovah won't strike you down for not wearing a headcovering".
word gets back to the co on his next visit that i don't let sisters wear headcoverings at the bookstudy when they read and he reams me out for it.

Nicely written. Unfortunately, some religions fall into the practice of reading the Bible at face-value, and fail to remember the time period, who wrote the letter, and the reasons behind writing the letter.
Again, very nicely researched and written.

when i was a bethelite 1974-76 the evening meals were what we called free-seating (no asigned seating).. i sat at a table with (gb member)george gangas.
he would regularly have questions that he would ask the younger brothers (kind of a bible trivia).. but being that i was only baptized 2 or 3 years i didn't want to answer questions, but i had one i wanted to asked him.. what is this spiritual paradise that the society keeps talking about?.
when i asked him he choked on his soup, and said he didn't know.. i felt bad that he didn't know.. about 2 days latter i sit at his table and basically the same brothers are their.
D--
I gotta luv ya. I think the reason why they stopped the free-seating policy was because of Bethelites like you!
