"obey your husband unless it goes against God's direction" ....at the time the GB were saying, "ask What Jehovah knows"... so she was made to believe it was God's direction...

Lee Marsh...absolutely right...it is inexcusable that they insist upon welding abusive powers.

Lee Marsh, I appreciated your thoughts on the subject...you wrote: Who is responsible. The victim or the abuser?--either the GB are deliberate abusers or they are victims as well and so abdicated of blame.

a watcher...you wrote and not the org...you cannot separate it...because the org teaches that in order to serve Jehovah and Jesus, you have to obey the GB- You are provided the materials you are to teach people with-these materials adulterate the truth. Once it was taught that the faithful and discreet slave HAD a GB, now they teach the GB is the faithful and discreet slave. One or both ( both from where I am sitting ) are lies! So how are you serving Jehovah and Jesus when you have to teach your students those lies? The GB says to trust them because Jehovah and Jesus trust them...the Bible in Psalms 146:3 says not to trust men. ( who are YOU going to believe-the men who say to trust them or God's word, assuming you believe the Bible?)

spreading the word that someone is out
by enoughisenough ini didn't know what category to put this under, but would appreciate thoughts.
we know if you are df or dissasociate yourself, an anouncement is made at the local kh.
do any of you know if they also contact congreagations you have gone to previously?

I think the JW have been cracking the whip upon the rank and file as to them having the least bit of communication with "filthy apostates"...and the sheeple are walking over the cliff.

lonnglivetherenagades made a good point about being dedicated to an organization The second question they ask at baptism is a verbal legally binding contract with them, and you have agreed to be under their manmade dictates.

no one can answer that question for you...you have to live it. you are making a decision to practice .a false religion... giving 9 fakes and their company men control over your life....you will have to take whatever comes and keep your mouth shut. You have asked the question as to whether it is the true religion and you have been given honest answers from many points of view. I used to think if JW didn't have the truth, then there is no truth ( as in a true religion) Well, they don't have the truth. From where I sit no organized religion is truth. Jesus is the truth and the life....not being a member of a false religion. Will you have friends once reinstated-just kiss up to the pioneers and elders, etc.

Matt 7:16 By their fruits you will know them....What do you think about this fruit? The concealing of known child abusers. The JW are spending millions in lawsuits to victims and in lawsuits to suppress evidence. What about the shunning-you know what that is now- is that a good fruit? They like to preach about the love they have among themselves, but think about it...where is that love? are you feeling it? Why do you suppose people lied about their time in service...because they knew they would be judged adversely, as spiritually weak and therefore not be considered good association...Is that love among yourselves? As to what is the true religion? Jesus said to the Samaritan woman, it wasn't in that mountain, or in Jersalem ( where you would have thought it to be ) but to worship God in Spirit and in Truth. Can you worship in truth when you must obey 9 self appointed men. ( because they were not appointed the faithful and discreet slave. )
Matthew 24:45-47New International Version45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? 46 It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. 47 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possession.
Notice vs 46 "doing so when he returns"....If Jesus returned in 1914, why is the memorial still celebrated? 1 Corinthians 11:26
New International Version26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes
Matt 26:28 tells us that the new covenant was for the forgiveness of sins for the MANY , not for just 144,000-cross reference Luke 22:20.
They print lies and JW can't dare challenge them on the lies...those that studied the Bible and discerned the lies were DF or took themselves out ( I took myself out ) or are pretending to be JW so as not to loose their friends and family.

A little late for this conversation, don't ya think? That aside, it is't any business of the JW....
