Disfellowshiping: Why the Terror?
by Cold Steel inthe more i read about ritual shunning and disfellowshiping in the society, the more i wonder how the governing body and elders have pulled the proverbial wool over the eyes of the congregation.
first, the society doesnt consider itself a church (unlike the ancient christians, who did consider themselves to be part of a church).
yet, like other sectarians, they have their hands out for contributions and exercise immense power over their members.

Browsing Yahoo Answers this morning I noticed one of the beliefs that would help identify the true Christian religion.
Taking blood into body Gen. 9:3, 4; Lev. 17:14;
through mouth or veins Acts 15:28, 29
violates God’s lawsTo extract an interpretation such as "[Do not] take blood into body through mouth or veins" - especially after the Jews already knew for centuries what the "do not eat" commandment meant, would require the same illogic that would cause someone to avoid penicillin because to law says "Don't use drugs."

Did it trip your brain when non-JW Christians got persecuted?
by Wayward Son inthe foretold turn of gubberment on religion hasn't begun yet.
that event is supposed to happen with a "swift pitch", an event that will be unmistakable at it's onslaught.
for the time being, any violence toward "babylon the great" cannot be attributed to the fulfillment of revelation 18.. .

Only Christ's true followers were supposed to suffer persecution for their faith. So when non-JW Christian persecution appeared in the news, what kind of confusion, if any, did it conjur up in your mind?
We had one elder in our congregation explain that other religions were not being persecuted for following Jesus, they were being persecuted for NOT following Jesus.
Huh?

Jehovah Will Put it in Their Minds
by ctrwtf injust mulling over the demise of religion in general as we humans progress away from fear of the unknown.. i was wondering when some country or group will try to outlaw religion.
then i recalled how an all out attack on religion is what is supposed to trigger armageddon.
after 9/11 the first thing george bush said was that islam is not the problem, extremist terrorists are the problem.
