Has Anyone Gotten Disfellowshipped Here and For What??
by minimus insex issues seem to be the number one reason but apostasy is right up there too.
even if you weren’t disfellowshipped , do you know why some people you know were disfellowshipped?

@Anna Marina "A friend was df'd for asking the elders about the child abuse issues and was disfelloshipped without even being told about it".
You just don't get disfellowshipped for asking elders about child abuse issues. I brought an issue that had happened years ago regarding an elder's alleged misconduct with a child to the attention of the elders, I even mentioned the ARC. The elder in question got taken off, and I definitely did not get disfellowshipped. And I'm an older woman, and not an elders wife either....

Worldwide preaching campaign targeting government officials.
by smiddy3 indoes anybody know what this message will contain ?
is it designed to provoke a response that will bring persecution on the religion ?
or is it just going to be some meaningless weak campaign to get the rank and file all excited about it and achieving nothing.. or is it going to suggest to the government officials that this mob could very well be the next jonestown /wacol incident and we need to act now.

Perhaps the purpose of it is simply: "don't say you (the governments) haven't been warned".

Another example of. Brotherly love you can only find in jehovahs organization
by nowwhat? inso my 88 mil died and was the epitome of a faithful sister.
my wife and her sister are members of the congregation for 40+ years.
to be fair it was short notice but we had the showing and visitation and only about 12 out of 120 of the congregation showed up and only 1 elder!

Sorry for your loss.
The reason this was such a sparse attendance is probably because of covid. The org. Is taking the pandemic very seriously and doesn't recommend anyone associating outside the household in person at all. There are email reminders being sent out regularly about that. The elders are especially held accountable as they are supposed to lead by example.

"To be Honest, I am so tired of being the best husband i could be to her. she is a taker and not a giver"
Maybe that's the problem, not the fact that she wants to pioneer.

Was Sin Inevitable?
by Parker ini was wondering about this question and wanted to ask: was sin inevitable?
also, i had thought about past watchtower articles or publications related to this topic and did some research and found this from our readers ask if adam was perfect, how was it possible for him to sin?.
well, then, did god create adam with a moral weakness, so that he lacked the ability to make sound decisions or to withstand temptation?

Perfection is a relative term. It does not mean the same result across the board. For example you might have a utensil that is perfect for the job it was made to do, but would be useless for something else. The animals were made "perfect" but still probably died. But they were perfect for animals. Humans and spirit creatures were made perfect, but not in the same sense as God. God is the one who decides what perfection actually means for all his created works.
With Eve, it is actually LOVE that would have made her choose the right thing, not "perfection". It is love, or lack of, that would make her decide what choice she made. Obviously perfect humans were made with that flexibility; to love or not to love.
The only being that is perfect to the ultimate degree is God. This can be as hard to understand as no beginning and no end.
