Reminds me of how the Mormons lifted their ban on black people, when the government pressured them. Then out of thin air Voila, a new revelation from God to the Mormons' prophet that says it's time to allow blacks full membership in 1975!!!!!. If the governing body for some reason changes doctine, because of the court all credit will be given to Jehovah.

If jw's obeyed all of the bible commandments what would they be like?
by purrpurr inthe jw's cite abstaining from blood along with other cherry picked commandments.
but then ignore the others.
this is very hippocritical and if they are going to obey one commandment they should be obeying the rest.. just as a bit of fun then... what would jw's be like if they obeyed every rule in the bible?.

Wait just to clarify- she's disfellowshipped and she's the one shunning you?
Or are you the one out of the religion and she's back in? Do your parents uphold shunning?

i feel more confused than ever
by BlackWolf inwell i know i've been posting a lot of topics like this lately and i'm sorry if i sound whiny or annoying.
my parents were asking me why i was so upset lately and i ended up just telling them the whole truth.
i told them i don't believe in god or the bible because i don't have any evidence of anything.

Your parents will probably have the elders meet with you. The reason I cautioned you to lay low in your other post was so that you could get your head together, and emotional strength. Now you risk meeting with elders who will be looking to see if you are a threat to the congregation. Hopefully, your parents will not mention what you said to them. If they do, you'll definitely be on the brothers' radar.
Please consider the comments that the members here have written on your posts. Many here have lost their families to this religion. Today you can have your family, and tomorrow you could lose them. They will remain faithful to Jehovah's organisation- with or without you!
Keep posting here and best wishes.

The Jeremiah booked sucked. It has a picture of a sister, with pink hair highlights, who did not listen to the elders and was disfellowshipped. Her life was terrible, in another picture, post df'ing. She had a baby, smoked cigarettes and had a sleazy no good man passed out drunk on the couch. But get this, she was reading the God's Love book, which inspired her to return to Jehovah's manmade organization.
Bible teach book, gold colored, on the left. Keep yourselves in God's love book in the middle. Jeremiah book on the right.

Nope, the God's Love books aren't on the carts haha. You know that book doesn't work too well for recruiting lol! It's like the reasoning book. You don't have to be a member to get a copy, you just have to get far enough in your study to convince them that you're really interested
Books that are acceptable for carts includes: Bible Teach Books, Young People ask vl. 1 &2, Secret to Family Happiness, Jesus the Greatest Man Who Has Ever Lived, My Book of Bible Stories. Of course all public Magazines and public brochures.

If you're living with your family, are you ready to deal with the repercussions of no longer being a witness? No family, friends, house, food, etc? If not then, tell your sister that you just became scared and that you will do more personal studies- again tell her not to tell your parents, friends AND ELDERS. If you do not do damage control she WILL seek "help" for you!!! Your spiritual life is in danger so out of love she will think she is helping you by speaking to an elder. Suck up to her quick, fast and in a hurry asap! Talk about what the 2 of you will do in paradise, keep her emotions warm and tingly. -

The Mormons call this deception "Milk before Meat". Tickle their ears first, then lay the law on them. -

There are 2 books that a person who studies with the witnesses have available to study. First, the Bible Teach book and if the person doesn't progress then they will study a second book title "KEEP YOURSELVES IN GOD'S LOVE".
- In the God's Love book Disfellowshipping is mentioned, as well as how to treat the df'ed person.
- Also, the Governing Body is introduced as the slave giving us proper food at the proper time.
- The potential member is introduced to the word "organization"
The potential member will definitely lose that warm fuzzy feeling the Teach book gives to potential members. The God's Love Book is subtly telling you to obey, just keep thinking about those lovely illustrations of paradise we showed you in the Bible Teach Book.
Side note: I knew a sister who progressed "quickly" and was baptized after a study of the teach book. Then she began studying the God's love book and she was like wow what have I gotten myself into. Too bad she didn't know about disfellowshipping until after baptism.
