wallsofjericho
yes shunning even those that have not had action taken against them by the cong
anyone "calling themself a brother" but practicing sin
sin = disobeying jehovah
jehovah = jehovahs org
jehovahs org = GB

Has anyone been outed by jw health care workers?
by purrpurr incarrying on from audespare thread.
i was wondering how common it is for a sinner/apostate to be outed by a babbling jw care worker?
say you went to your dr because you were pregnant and unmarried or wanting counseling for having to live a double life as a pretend jw... and a jw secretary at the drs office saw this on your file and went tattling to the elders?.

. We cannot ignore Caesar’s law or the seriousness of an oath, but Jehovah’s law is supreme.
So then ignore Ceasars law

Did they say that if prince hadn't died of that overdose he would have been disfellowshipped and shunned by all JW'S all the planet?
And that would mean death at Armageddon?
Probably not
Although I imagine the org has shelved the caleb and sofia video on drugs for now

Your Thoughts: My wife said...her service friend. speculated Prince would leave his vast fortune to the Society!
by goingthruthemotions inso, talking with my wife yesterday.
she was out cart witnessing (barf) and one of the people she was with claimed to have know prince, or meet him or something like that.
well anyways...they or her or someone (they are all braindoogled) speculated or fantasized that since prince did not have any relatives or something or the other.

converts from other faiths to JWs get blessings?
by TTWSYF ini don't know about your experiences, but for my brother and his family, going from catholic to witness was [is] a disaster.
he's an elder and wouldn't admit it, but his health and portfolio have drastically declined since his conversion to the jw faith.
it is apparent to all who love him.

Satan's attacking him so that's how you KNOW it's the truth
(If he was better off instead...)
Jehovah is blessing him so that's how you KNOW it's the truth

Anointed rule as soon as they get to heaven. Is this another flip flop ?
by wannaexit ini remember hearing that the anointed that died would start ruling at the start of the thousand year reign.
now it seems they are teaching that these deluded bozos that die get to rule right now in heaven.
when did this teaching change?
-
wallsofjericho
I don't believe this is new.
Even the Rev Climax book talked about the John class participating in events taking place currently
There have been other WT articles illuding to this also
