The way it is mandated in the org is that a persons name is given off the platform, causing the entire congregation to realize there is a sinner?? in their midst and at once, are to shun that person. Is that against any countrys privacy act? It should be. The elder is announcing someone's personal issue, albeit a masked announcement leading to all kinds of speculation, where there may not be any- where is the HR for that?

Mandated Shunning is a Crime
by Lee Marsh inmandated shunning is on the rise around the world with devastating effects on millions of people.
shunning that is mandated by organized groups to its members is a form of both physical and psychological violence against those people being shunned and cut off from their family and life-long relationships.
mandated shunning means that the shunning is ordered from the top down.

CYA mag on UN- say it straight BUT then guild the lily by saying protect the earth, a surefire way to fool the pubs into thinking hey, they are as concerned as we are, they are supporting the bible in saying all this and the org is pointing it out to the world

The big fear, as their creator recently said, is that they are thinking for themselves i.e. blockchain. The train has left the station according to him-- Google Geoffrey Hinton and John McCarthy

C. T. Russell, Knight Templar
by NotFormer ini've come across stuff on the web that states that russell claimed to be both a knight templar and a mason.
and also stuff on here that quotes various such organisations saying that russell didn't display enough knowledge about them to have ever been a member.. why do people act like such a revelation about russell is some sort of smoking gun?
rutherford purged russell from the organisation as soon as he could.. the people who would be more worried about the accusation would more likely to be members of the various surviving bible students groups.

Interesting that there are folks who do follow Russell today. They dress, have assemblies and conventions and are you would think hey, thats a sister!, mostly in Europe. AND they are not JW's--There has been a early morning program on for years from Texas I think, that promotes Russells books and teaching. My son ordered books from them. Pyramidology, Plan for the Ages, etc. exactly like he taught back in 18-1900's dying on Oct 31, 1916. Memorials are still held for him, from what I heard.

If u have a copy of the shepherding book --
I will not quote the many references eliminating the word"member" - but pubs are now called -
"individal, publisher, anyone" - those are the three designated labels now entered rather than "member" in this particular book - I would assume with the increasing legal woes due to child abuse that the org is now washed in, that the word "member" has been changed due to legalese and suits. This points the finger away from a "member".

Oh come on! No way! They just upped the membership to $15.00 per pub in our area... thats hard cash going in from one congregation, and with 100 pubs thats 1500.00 a month ---not to mention how many more in Canada- every month, forever until they raise it again next year. So much for a monthly contribution but remember- no more mortgages to re do halls... what halls?
The pubs do not remember that this so called monthly amount to the org was to cover any renos to be done.(which we still pay for )...now its a membership fee= but pubs are not longer members of this organization - they are just someone in this organization! The word "member" has been removed from all org books....i.e. Shepherding

This is a joke! Who are these guys? Any elders meetings were hot and heavy... they ran him down only after they decided to turf him... but whoever he was, he wasn't coming across as an elder, arms crossed, did have a tendency to be offput, but with 4 on one, who lovingly reading scripture and the wise words of the org (sarcasm) to show how much the org is a power hungry, manipulating machine albeit, once baptized, hook and line and sinker, your in for it. Bit and switch to the new world organization. Bet his daughters will have a pension and medical to go with their hard won efforts, and probably may still be associated in someway.

Enjoy your in depth discussions however, why do you use so many spaces between your thoughts?
