So pretending to be suicidal could be an out for somw....but who is going to tell them? And on the other hand, some may not become suicidal until after the JC and being kicked out or otherwise made feel worthless.

No more judicial committee if maybe suicidal
by ExBethelitenowPIMA inthe new direction in the new elders book is very clear.
absolutely no jd if there is a suspicion of suicidal thoughts.. this is obviously due to the high number of suicidal attempts after the announcement that someone is no longer a jw and the shunning that accompanied it.. so what will happen now going forward if situations arise where there would formerly have been a jd and they say there is suicidal thoughts?.
i can’t see it working, but elders stick rigidly to what it says in the book.

More than 17 years of service to the XJW community!
by Nathan Natas ini want to take a moment to salute rick fearon, an "apostate" near boston massachusetts usa who more than 17 years ago started the sixscreens telenetwork on youtube.
you can find it here: https://www (dot) youtube (dot) com/ (at) araretreat/streams.. like our benevolent host simon green here at jehovahs-witness.com, rick has not done his great work for his own financial enrichment or to collect followers for himself, as some xjw grifters have done and continue to do.. saturdays and sundays are the busy days at six screens, with call-in programs like:.
* jw world news.

since cars have become a subject, we were always mindful to get a good "service" car and if it happened to be a mini van that could carry at least 7--the more the merrier. There was an older "brother" down here who bought a new mustang convertible a few years back. He didn't keep it long due to peer pressure-clearly an untheocratic car. So don't go to college and don't get a sporty 2 door car or else you are a bad example to the flock-not to mention being materialistic.

C. T. Russell, Knight Templar
by NotFormer ini've come across stuff on the web that states that russell claimed to be both a knight templar and a mason.
and also stuff on here that quotes various such organisations saying that russell didn't display enough knowledge about them to have ever been a member.. why do people act like such a revelation about russell is some sort of smoking gun?
rutherford purged russell from the organisation as soon as he could.. the people who would be more worried about the accusation would more likely to be members of the various surviving bible students groups.

I think it a smoking gun because Russell claimed the titel of the faithful and wise slave and he published the WT and other magazines and books that you HAD to accept over what the Bible says because he was giving meat at due season. The org doesn't want the R and F to read what Russell wrote....because for a fatihful slave giving spiritual food, it has proved to be lies. So the JW religion is founded upon lies. The org teaches you to look at the foundation of teachings ( xmas and easter for ex ) , but they don't want people looking beyond what they write about Russell. I think it safe to say you would be labeled apostate if you went around telling all the false teachings of Russel ( millions now living will never die -Micheal arch angel is the pope. Pyramidology proves the Bible timeline they taught.) The org doesn't want new ones to learn this stuff. To learn it and to tell it to others in the congregation would be stirring up contentions-yeah, you could be df.

Is WT Teachig on Hell Biblical?
by Sea Breeze ini guess you could say jesus was the first christian, since he was the christ.
and as the first christian, jesus spoke more about hell that any other biblical figure.
but, he is also the figure that said that he didn't come to condemn the world, but to save it.

sea breeze- one of the original lies to EVE was she wouldn't ever die. God told them they would die and Satan said they wouldn't...so people choose to believe they don't die even if that means they are choosing eternal torment for a few years of sinning. If you are going to take Jesus's word, then he likened death to sleep. ( I don't know about you, but when I am asleep I don't know what is going on around me. You belittled the book of ECC...do you think that wise? Ecc 7 :12 for wisdom is a protection ust as money is a protection, but the advaantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves the life of it owner. ( I remember watching a movie once and the premise was whatever you really believed is what your end reality would be. I don't think that is the case, but if were to come to fruition, many would suffer forever and ever. -threw that in for what it's worth. )

for all I know, there may be an eternal fire somewhere...but fire does away with. Rev. tells of death and hades being pitched into the lake of fire...can death burn? and if hades is hell ( also what some consider the everlasting fire) so you burn fire with fire???makes no sense. When people passed their children into the fire in false worship, such a thought never came into God's heart. Does it make sense that an eteral burning hell where you don't really die would be created for people when such a thought of burning never came into God's heart. Fire destroys! You die in fire...the dead know nothing at all.

I think this was a good demonstration of how to pick a man's character apart once it has been decided he has to go. I wonder how many elders have be deleted in these kangaroo courts for the situation shown and others. In other words, they decide he has to go and then they cherry pick scriptures to justify what they want to do. ( any one watch Eric's disfellowshipping videos on Berean Picketts channel...the elders were like gansters- a mockery and a shame...he was treated worse than a criminal. ( that is love among ourselves

Here is the thing about the "membership" fee. The Bible says not to give under compulsion. The rank and file are compelled to donate whether they realize it or not. They are sneaky with their letters only the elders are to see. The rank and file don't know there is a $ sign on their head. They are told all donations are voluntary-yet the elders get letters to try to get as much money as they can from the congregation ( in other words, if possible , determine if they think the congregation can afford more.) Some can. The last congregation I was in always had plenty of money in the bank and every now and again a resolution would come up to send X amount to the branch. I remember telling people there were no collections and free seating, no paid clergy. A contribution box was in the back if someone wanted to donate so as to help with utilities and mortgage. We paid for the literature even after the "donation" arrangement came in. We really don't know where all the money goes.
