  Apostasy my ass!

  by Glander in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  let's call it what it is - disagreeing with the watchtower bible and tract society after baptism into the cult.

  in no way is the literal definition of the word "apostasy" applicable to what the cult is using the word for.

  it is a buzz word that scares the crap out of the rank and file and keeps them from communicating with those who have become enlightened about the cults lies.. we here on jwn have accepted the wt label, "apostates", with a sense of humor, such as calling our get togethers apostafests, etc.. but we are actually the "enlightened"..

  March 15, 2012 WT: These times are more critical than when we last called them critical, honest!!

  by MrMonroe in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  just sad.

  "the christian ministry has always been urgent, but now it is more critical than ever.

  " (page 18).. what follows is more of the same disgusting tripe: the same scare tactics (nuclear weapons, terrorists, climate change, hurricanes, wars) that made me join in 1985 when the world was on the brink of nuclear armageddon.

  When the Elders Decide to Disfellowship

  by Yura Ivanova in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower (and their adherents) claim to be guided by the spirit of jehoover, so when they decide to disfellowship, it would be logical to think that this is god's decision (thats if they really are lead by the spirit of jehoover).

  but, the dilemma is, why do they need to give the one being disfellowshipped 7 days to appeal?

  if jehoover wants this person out of satans organization, then why give him 7 days to appeal his (jehoovers) decision?

  Help requested for court case

  by Anony Mous in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i am looking for court cases and news reports on underage children being denied blood transfusions and as a result either having the court intervene or death.

  any report especially 2008-2011 will work very well.. also any jw publication that says jw's die rather than accepting blood.

  also any jw publication that encourages this practice in regards children especially official documents and recent publications (2005-2011 or whenever the last doctrinal change was).. .

  WTBTS Elder & Ministerial Servant Problems

  by JW GoneBad in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i attended a recent ministerial servant k m school on the east coast and the main school instructor mentioned among other things (part entitled: 'objective of the km school course') that the total number of ministerial servants is seriously less than it should be.

  in times past the ratio of m ss to elders was much more than it is today.. in the u.s. apparently the total number of elders is 88,500+ as opposed to m ss 65,000. the numbers show & numbers don't lie: the society is running out of spiritual men.

  the instructor stated that this is a new downward trend that has (in so many words) the society worried.. the next speaker (part entitled: 'why we must be spiritual men') added that in his years as a traveling servant the pool of m ss has always been much, much larger than it is today.
