They have a writing departement, that's for sure. But probably all litterature passes though the legal departemen before being published.
But this misleading about shunning can be a double-edged sword.
if you think about how they word and spin doctor everything, such as on jw org, the faq about shunning members who leave the religion....if a jw says, "look, it says you don't shun ex members and family ties remain no matter what!
", they will say, "na ah ah!!
if you look closely it talks about inactive ones who are not shunned, and as for family, the example is of a husband in the same household as his wife and children.

Yes, as someone stated, the best thing was the girls in the borg.
i have recently been given the privilege of taking the field service group.. .
can anyone give me some scriptures i can use to encourage the group?
can you also give a reason as to why these scriptures are helpful to our ministry.. .
Panther!
I don't knoe that much aboy the maney. But you have to separate/differentiae among two things: the JWs as a "church" or network of congregations, and the watchtower society. The GB rules the JW. Thwe watchtower society is something different. I was surprized when I learned that there is some people that are shareholders in the watchtower society. But it is almost impossible to get information on who these shareholders are.
Have you read the story about the Menlo Park scandal....there is a thread here about an ex elder that still thinks it is just a regional fraud.

I think the official explanation is that ice-hockey is physically agressive as a sport.
The real explanation is what Mr Punk said earlier. Besides, playing in a team of wordlies is not looked upon as something good.
just a random thinking outside the box thought i had today.
it began with doing a little more reading about space/time.
scientifically, it's known that as one approaches the speed of light, time slows down for them.
The einsteinian God, travelling by the speed of light! :-)
It is a good question, end of mysteries!
" je n'ai pas eu besoin de cette hypothèse"......
....Nous avons seulement besoin de poule et de la bierre...(chicken and beer)...if wi shall believe our "apostate master" outlaw! :-)
Is it possible to compare philosophy and beer??? In that case....beer is better...because.....beer makes us thinking about philosophy.......but philosophy alone doesn't give us beer! :-P

Nice to hear, Outlaw! But I hope we can post even when we are sober...just as long it isn't a bad habit! :-)
as of yet, no member of the jehovah's witness faith can defend their unique beliefs.
when the dust settles, it all comes down to blind faith in men's ever-changing ideas.
this "unique belief" was not a "true teaching of the bible.
I hope you were not offended , DOT! People probably got very surprized. You know...apostates are only human beings :-)
Take care, DOT.

Yep, it is possible to "pioneer" and to enjoy KFc and beer at the same time! I suppose Brother Outlaw is pioneering that way!

Ahh, poor fellow DOT......now all apostates got curious and have a lot of questions! :-.P Maybe it's almost the same as in the org?? :-)
Even if some of us are/have been elders or MS's, you don't have to answer all our questions! Noone here has that power over you. At this board you are a free man with integrety (i hope it's the right english word)

Sir 82...were you that stubborn?? :-)
No no, but I assume thay both have questions they haven been able to get answers from the org to. After a while they both started posing some questions. But , my thought is that an active JW would not dare starting questioning the first thing he/she does on this board. He has to feel accepted and tolerated at first.
If we would like active JWs to see TTATT we cannot start yelling TTATT to them. It is better answering their questions and try to be polite. A JW who comes here probably has a reason for doing it.
