  Question for those that have been Disfellowshiped for apostasy VS succesfully fading

  by NikL in

  1. jw

  there are quite a few here who have been disfellowshipped for apostasy.. then there are those that have successfully faded.. why the different outcome?

  are the ones that got df more out spoken?

  or does the discrepancy lie with the elders?.

  I"Do you believe the GB/FDS are Jah's representatives on earth?"

  well--yes i do !
  

  but as jah is just a myth--then--quite rightfully---the GB are representatives of a myth.

  That is EXCELLENT Stan Livedeath!

  I have faded and always thought that would be a very hard question to look sincere in -- and now I can ..Cheers

  Parents and Siblings still talk with me -just we all avoid any spiritual discussion cause they all know where I stand and they dont want us d'fed either
  

  My kids do normal stuff - and if questioned just say "Mum and Dad let us make up our own minds" - not an ideal JW situation but you cant be d'fed for it. We sometimes look at 'facebook god' as a family for a laugh..

  When I see dubs socially - if congo stuff ever come up we say we have personal stuff happening --and they dont push it...

  All cool.....just wish my extended family would see it as an unfounded puritan life (for them)is @#$@

  It is incredibly tempting to engage Elders in discussion - but the loss would outway any satisfaction...

  compare what happened during the apostolic period -col 1:23:provided, of course, that you continue in the faith, established on the foundation and steadfast, not being shifted away from the hope of that good news that you heard and that was preached in all creation under heaven.+ of this good news i, paul, became a minister.rom 16:26but has now been made manifest* and has been made known through the prophetic scriptures among all the nations according to the command of the everlasting god to promote obedience by faith;who was the preaching commission, or coming forward as a witness given to?

  remembering context, audience and purpose….john 15:27;and you, in turn, are to bear witness,+ because you have been with me from the beginning.hmmm i personally wasn't with jesus from the beginning ---were you ?matt 11:1when jesus had finished giving instructions to his 12 disciples, he set out from there to teach and preach in their cities.i wasn't one of his original 12 disciples ---where you?matthew 28:16-20however, the 11 disciples went to galʹi·lee to the mountain where jesus had arranged for them to meet.

  17 when they saw him, they did obeisance, but some doubted.18 jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “all authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth.

  camping predicted september 15, 1994 as the end of history in his 1992 book ingeniously titled "1994?

  So what jookbeard is saying is that the whole JW experience is irrelevant...no one cares ... and he does not know why he is on an exJW forum --- thought I would clear it up for everyone :o)

  Prophecy_ Initial Fullfilment -later Fullfilment -Matt.24:34

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just a simple observation ,the wt used to say that their was an initial fullfilment of bible prophecy and a later fullfilment for our day and that they mirrowed each other.. do they still say much of the same thing ?.

  the initial fullfilment of matt.24:34 took place in well under 50 years from when jesus gave this prophecy , a (one ) generation .. no overlapping of a generation occured then ,so none should occur in a later fullfilment of prophecy.. their is no room in scripture , in the first century of an overlapping generation of the initial fullfilment of jesus prophecy.. no such thing occured ..

  I agree!! The already fulfilled thing was what I first found on properly reading the [slaughter] book till I worked out it was all mumbo jumbo. Least the original generation was under 50 years --the new one just keeps giving and giving
