What those who are studying with JW really need to understand is if after being baptized, they decide to really study the Bible on their own-without the JW library, it is highly discouraged-because they get all they need from the "slave"...if they want to get together in a group and just read the Bible and discuss it, they are likely to be disfellowshipped---that is what happens when they really study. I have watched a video or two where people were removed just because of studying the Bible . If you have a relative you is studying with the witnesses, you miay want to locate some of those videos where people were put out because of independent Bible study. I think Beroen Pickets has one...maybe more.

Bait and Switch "Bible studies"
by Vanderhoven7 inmark jones, a witness for over 30 years describes what jws call bible studies offered to the public.. .
"they (jehovah's witnesses) offer you a free home “bible” study - which turns out to be a study of a watchtower publication with the bible brought out as an afterthought to try and prop up whatever current idea the governing body are claiming is “the truth” this week.. i think it’s underhanded.. when my parents became jehovah’s witnesses and they offered people a free home “bible” study, this is what they brought to study with them:.
what, did you think they were going to study the bible with you?.

by Bartolomeo inreporter evan lambert arrested by ohio police live on train derailment for doing what big media won't do: ask questions about toxic chemicals that poison water and air.
.

the thing in Ohio is tragic...animals are dying....people who go back to their homes are getting sick. Those families need to be removed from the area and put up in housing/motels until it is safe-if that is ever- to return...Someone is responsible -but who? the chemical companies, the rail line, the people who said do the burn to keep from an even worse explosion?

Hiddlewife--it is found in part 2 of the annual meeting posted in feb of 23....hour mark 1:37 start and listen about the resurrection and just after that reading hearts. I don't know how they arrive at that conclusion...save for some aside from Jesus "raised" a dead person...but the reading of hearts!??? They are making themselves into Gods.

I am willing to bet most of the JW who heard that talk never even picked up on what was actually being said. The very hubris is appalling. I don't watch these programs now, but there are some who do and highlight the nonsense...I do watch them sometimes.

Personally I never read that in the scriptures...but of course the ones she is talking to on the phone try to defend their faith -which includes hanging up on her.

talked to a friend yesterday who got sick everytime they took a shot, but now after booster has stayed sick--saying they aren't going to take anymore...I had told them after the first one what the skinny was on those jabs, I made a point in saying Jesus wouldn't direct the GB to have people take those shots. Dr Tennpenny predicts a tsunami of regret where those jabs are concerned.

Are Jehovah's Witnesses who are disfellowshipped allowed to communicate and comfort each other while waiting to be reinstated?
by Vanderhoven7 ini just read about a disfellowshipped person who was looking for other disfellowshipped persons to socialize with.
what does the org have to say about this?.
-

enoughisenough
I think the answer is they are not allowed if seeking reinstatement....a quick search didn't turn that up in JW.org, but I seem to recall that being brought out once upon a time.

spiritually sick
by enoughisenough ini thought of this today.
when i first told a certain person i didn't believe the gb were the faithful slave, that person told me i was spiritually sick....even bought me flowers.
i threw the vase away because i couldn't look at it without thinking how i was judged spiritually sick.

I think it terrible that any one is labeled spiritually weak or sick...Men can't read hearts. They read time reports and judge you. The others read if you are at the meetings or in service and judge you. The Bible says not to judge others...but the JW never got that message. They have their little social cliques! My mother in law died and the some of the brothers were afraid they would be ask to do her funeral, because she was a "weak" witness. ( actually she really was quite unprincipled -but she still upheld the organization. )

Claim and Counter-claim
by Vanderhoven7 inclaim: sincec2017 jehovah's witnesses have sold 2 billion dollars worth of kingdom halls in the united states alone, yet on a recent broadcast they said they needed so many kingdom halls to be built.
counter-claim: jehovah’s witnesses sold their world headquarters in nyc and built a new one in a different location.
even if your claim is accurate that would skew the accuracy of your numbers.

"what's going on there?" building on the backs of donations and free labor and using until flipping for huge profits...now that's a some business model!
