what kind of restrictions are people put under when their behaviour has been considered worthy of disfellowshipping but have managed to avoid the big "d"?.
me (going back a bit):.
1. never to be in the company of the lady unchaperoned although we were "betrothed".. 2. removed from ministerial servants position.. 3. not allowed to pray in the congregation at all, including book study.. 4. removed as watchtower study conductor.. 5. removed as public speaker and talks at service meetings.. 6. removed as pioneer.. 7. report to po once a month.. amazingly, i missed none of those things and relished the freedom from responsibility.
Even though I wasn`t attending meetings......BORING!
My restriction was:
"I wasn`t allowed to answer at meetings."......LOL!!..
Did they think I would start going to meetings, so I couldn`t answer at meetings?!
I couldn`t handle the stupid behaviour of the average JW and/or JW Elder.
That didn`t help.....LOL!!

armenia’s jehovah’s witnesses: ‘enemies of the state’.
The Armenian Constitution guarantees freedom of conscience and religious belief to every citizen. In theory, the rights of religious minorities are protected, yet in practice, the picture is rather different.
You could easily replace Armenia with WatchTower...
.....
WatchTower preaches freedom of conscience and religious belief to every
citizen. In theory, the rights of religious minorities are protected, yet in
practice, the picture is rather different.
the time remaining is... elastic.. .

THE TIME REMAINING IS...
i remember a brother making the above statement in regards to an elderly sister who had passed.
he stated we don't mourn or even visit grave sites because we have a hope that jah will resurrect the dead.
it seemed really creepy at the time, hell, even jesus wept when lazarus died.
"We dont mourn the dead"
WBT$ / JW Funerals are Disgusting.
The dead are nothing more than Props, for a WBT$ Info-mercial...

"what will go when god's kingdom comes?
" from april w/tower.
we start with a picture of jesus riding a white horse into battle, galloping towards terrified people in darkness.
What will "go"? Firstly it is "wicked people"....Yes but who is wicked enough to be slaughtered by Jesus? Para. 4 mentions bullies, bigots and criminals
"Jesus intends to kill us!"..........."We shouldn`t have fired him."
hello people,.
i was born in but long time faded.
i think i hold current jws to a higher standard than they now maintain.. here's the thing; my father is very old, in his nineties and been a jdub for over 60 years and even made it to elder till he got too old.on a recent visit my siblings and dad were saying how wonderful that veterans affairs were.
I have long thought it odd that they (staunch JWs) would accept this help with pride and Dad even said "I got shot at and caught Malaria so my conscience is clear".
What happened to pacifism and "no part of the world" etc?
If you served in the military.
You deserve your benefits, even if you`re stupid.
the society, "gods channel" teach and expect truth and honesty from all witnesses.
scripures are often quoted to promote such.. but, why is it only a one way street?
why is the society not truthful and honest with witnesses?

Have you ever gotten the truth out of a JW at the door?......I haven`t.
Why would the organization they represent, be any different?
i know they never gave a helping hand to anyone but their own in the past.
do jehovah's witnesses do anything useful for the community??
?.
There seems to be no real honest humanitarian concerns for the people.
Seriously?...
You expect a Cult that supports worldwide genocide, to have humanitarian concerns?
.....
JW`s want everyone who isn`t a JW...
i know they never gave a helping hand to anyone but their own in the past.

Do JWs Ever Do Anything Meaningful For Others?
JW`s are Full of Mean.
Ask anyone who has had any interaction with them.
They piss people off on a regular basis.
