If the Watch Tower Society discontinued shunning.... new survey!!

by cedars in

i'm pleased to announce that juan viejo2 has launched a new mini-survey on jwsurvey.org.

the survey tackles the premise that the society might one day abandon shunning (at least between family members) and asks: what effect might this have on us?.

the survey is primarily targeted at df'd/da'd and active jws, although there is one question applicable to all, which asks simply whether you agree with the practice of shunning.. there are only a handful of questions, so if you feel inclined, please do visit and take the survey on the link below:.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" Cedars they opened up Pandora's Box with their new Blood policy, was this the gaff that will open up new doors, or will they retract what they wrote (New Light), Marvin Shilmmer has not received any information for why they changed their policy on "blood fractions".

With a legalistic community, one of the joys of super righteous individuals is the power of being preceived as holy, not loving or caring! Can you imagine if the Society changed it's view on Shunning and Blood, we would have another Romania event, on a far greater scale!

Jehovah's Witnesses are quick to congradulate a householder for thinking outside their Church, question the Chuches teachings, yet we condemmed brothers and sisters who did the same thing to the Watchtower Society, they are beyond questioning and have provided all we need. WE Are considered Faithless for not blindly accepting everything the Organization has written!

Did U Ever "Stumble" Anyone? Were U Ever "Stumbled: By Another?

by minimus in

the reason many jws forgo things is because they are afraid of "stumbling" a brother or sister.

just in case---they make it a point to not do or say something that could cause a person to leave "the truth".. i knew of some witnesses that were always "stumbled" by this or that.. so silly..

@panhandlegirl Do you still have a photo of yourself in that bathing suit, we can run a poll on JWN to check, if the brothers find your swim suit stubling! Just kidding, what a nasty ignorant hag, they sweat the small stuff, while the cancers are left unchecked.

@RR "True Jehovah's Witnesses don't fall down on the Kingdom Hall parking lot and lie down forever, your brothers run to lend a helping hand, they shake the dust off your garb and apply ointment on the area of pain."

Is this in D.C. Comics Bizzarro Universe?

Today, I saw your friend who placed Apostate literature on cars during the Santa Maria, 4x Halls Convention. Did you know he sent a letter to the Santa Maria Times attacking Jehovah's people, out of vengence against his mortal enemy? Is he still selling fire-arms under the table and other hot goods? Attacking our own on JWN will not bring the justice you desire, you must patiently wait for Jehovah to act through his "APpointed men!", give him time to expose the unsavory pioneers and wannabee elders. So many devils, so little time!

Randy you look like someone out of "The Lords Of DogTown!" You were a surf punk in the 1970s, did you ever sneak onto the beaches near San Onfre to surf, were you chased by MPs yelling "Get the Hell out of the water kid!"

@jg Where is that river you posted, are there trout to be fished for?

WHAT EVIDENCE DOES THE W.T.S. USE TO PROVE THE RANSOM IS INDIRECTLY APPLIED TO THE OTHER SHEEP?

Hi again Cedars, today I was deeply engaged with a "dead head" over this issue of the "Governing Body" A.K.A (Annointed who matter in reality) of Jesus Christ's Ransom Sacrifice.

Using the skills I have picked up on JWN, I was able to soften the impact of my question "What does the Bible say about Jesus Christ's Ransom, who did Jehovah provide this for? (John 17:3)"

A. "To everyone, the Bible says God provided it for everyone!"

Using (1 Timothy 2:5) "http://bible.cc/1_timothy/2-5.htm" asking again, the Bible student said "God provided Jesus Christ for all mankind, Jesus Christ is the only Mediator between us!"

Guess what, this student was not aware that the "annoited" Governing Body Class claimed to be our mediator, or that Jehovah had put a mediator between Mankind-Jesus Christ-Jehovah God.

Most Jehovah Witnesses do not know that a new layer to Jehovah had been put in place by legalistic men. The basis of their argument is sneaky, clever and is Blasphemy against the Holy Spirt!

@cedars do you think there is a sin that you would shun a person for? Child Molesters and Rapist are a different entity than someone who was "shunned" for adultry, fornication or homosexual behaviour.

Some of the more progressive individuals are not attacking these sinners (We are all sinners!) but are learning to address the conduct without treating all sinners the same way. If Jesus Christ was to shun all the sinners, who would be left on earth untouched? The Governing Body, the Jezebel Class? Piousneers?

I voted "I partially agree" but only with very bad people, I don't agree lives should be broken up by men who sin themselves.

@talespin, I like the idea of learning from a tutor, I attended a foreign language congregation in Santa Maria for one day. Publishers who had been studying the language for two years, were still unable to make simple sentences, and commented in English.

This turned me off from attempting to learn this particular language, too many people could not communicate in this tongue, this problem plagued even some of the married brothers, whose wives who spoke the language! :(

@cedars: Your Blog at "Freeminds" is awesome, you have a gift with the pen, Dogpatch is another great writer there too, he raises the bar pretty high with his ability. It's nice to write with people of a high caliber, you two must have a blast there!

Where To By Crisis of Conscience

maybe this information has surfaced here before, but if so it is worth repeating periodically:.

a couple weeks ago i was shocked after doing a google search for crisis of conscience when it brought up amazon with four distributors selling the book in soft-cover for collector prices between $169.95 us to over $650, with only 4 copies available.

hard cover was not available new, and used copies were being sold for over $50-75.

Does Randy, "Dogpatch" carry the book on his site, it would be nice to support our fellow friends on JW.net, like Randy and JWN's founder!
