Openly speaking to elders about anything which questions/contradicts the JW "golden calf," will trigger a whole heap of trouble for an individual. Bought the T-shirt.
Elders can & do diss JW's for various excuses.

Would I be disfellowshiped for this?
by ExBethelitenowPIMA inif a publisher openly told the elders that they thought the gb were wrong about some or a lot of things, but said they will not share these thoughts with anyone else then would this be a case of disassociation disgfellowship?.
my guess is lots of elders meetings and shepherding calls to try to get you to say something they could use against you.. but what would be the sin in which you are not repented?.
the only reason to be dissed is non repentance?.

disfellowshipped for having a personal opinion based on WT
by Leslie inin 2008 i was baptized into the truth after leaving a trinitarian faith.
during my eight years as a jehovah’s witness, i strived to keep the standards set by the bible, wt and the faithfull and discrete slave.
but unfortunately, the congregational elders from the kingdom hall i attended were not keeping to jehovah’s standards, hence, wrote my letter of resignation.

Welcome Leslie. I went a good bit further than you did: when I started to 'see' certain teachings conflicted/opposed what the Bible actually said, I shared them with the whole congregation via the WT study or Sevice Meeting Q&A items.
I always quoted scriptures to confirm what I was saying. Not once was I ever questioned by elders at the end of any meeting.

@ markweatherill - You may be right, then again I'm basing my opinion on what I've seen, and what I've seen are large crowds of Ukrainians following their team to European stadiums over the past year or two.
Perhaps they're neutrals who want to show their support.

Shaking hundreds of hands every week: are JWs the only ones?
by psyco inwe know that with our hands we touch what everybody else does: money, handles, buttons, etc.. we also know for sure, since the xix century, that our hands carry bacteria and germs causing serious illnesses because of that.. despite more than 25,000 jws dying because of the covid, showing they are not immune, they were proudly declaring how good they were in handling this pandemic.. now, jws have started to shake hundreds of hands per week at their meetings, like before, even if covid is not over yet demonstrating hygiene knowledge back to medieval times.. i am wondering: are they the only religion/community/group still doing this or others are doing the same?.

@ psyco - the official narrative says people died because of covid, whereas the evidence shows they died with covid. Example: UK motorcyclist died after hitting a tree: tested positive for covid = covid death.
Masks, injections, and lockdowns never saved anyone from death, people's immune systems saved them - the elephant in the room which governments and their "experts" refused to promote or mention.

@ markweatherill - according to the BBC, more than 5000 Ukrainians obtained tickets to attend the match.
Looking at TV footage, that figure appeared to be an underestimate.

People who haven't seen it, should view the movie, "Official Secrets." (with Keira Knightley)
It may change their finger-pointing at Mr. Putin to include other parties.

@ Hellothere - "Jesus death seems not to amount to much according to watchtower."
Jesus' death amounts to zero, according to the governing body's teachings!
Virtually every human who has ever lived, wiped out all of their sins via their own death - they didn't need Christ to die for them.
Watchtower May 15th 1982, pp. 8,9 - "The Bible explains that at death a person is set free or released from any sins he committed."
Bible Teach p. 214 par. 3 - "..the judgment will not focus on what people did before they died... Those resurrected thus come to life with a clean slate, so to speak."
If this doesn't merit being called "antichrist," then nothing dies!

What Will JW's Do If They Find Themselves Still Conscious after Death?
by Sea Breeze inwe all know that despite many scriptures to the contrary, jw's believe that when they die, their consciousness will cease.
my question is this: what will be the likely reaction of jw's if they find themselves conscious after death?.

Genesis 3:19 - "...you will eat food until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you will return." (NET Bible)
Non-existent before, non-existent after.
Acts 2:34 - "For David did not ascend into heaven.." (was David not good enough, but Lazarus was?)
John 3:13 - "No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven - the Son of Man."
